Lee , Depart ment of Animal Husbandry , Univer sity of Nebraska. The advantages derived by having a peed range of pasture for hogs to feed upon are of a twofold nature. First , wo have thus furnished cheap food material to supplement the costly concentiated feeds. Secondly , the tanging alter forage provides exer cise , an important consideration for giowlng pigs and breeding stock. This last factor is an important ono since oxeiciso is very necessary for the young of all animals. It Is much more difficult to produce a runt in a largo lot than It is In a close pen. Al though any Ulnd of pasture Is much better than a'dry lot , there is never- i tholoss considerable difference In the food value of pastures , and for that | reason care should bo exercised In providing tlio best pasture possible. | For pnrraanency as well as feeding i importance , alfalfa makes the best I forage which the swine feeder can so- euro. The high protein valua of this evir , stepped roughly between tnem and , taking White's arm , walked away with him. Kelvin' stopped before a magnificent rosldenco recently vacated by a notorious rious railroad senator wbo bad not been "found available , " and , leaving his secret service men at tbo door , Kelvin found awaiting him In tbo garishly decorated library Henry Breed. The old man seemed shrunken since Kelvin had lust seen him , and bis bald bead exhibited a slight tend ency to nod rhythmically. "Well , how goes It , ray boy ? " bo asked In his senile old voice , nibbing bis withered hands together. "Beyond our expectations , I think , " replied Kelvin. "Thn country Is com ing to exactly that state of chaos where It can bo bandied. There Is not a city nor a vlllago but is in a state of turmoil nnd panic and ready for anything Just so It is a change. The enlistment IB proceeding oven moro rapidly than I had hoped. Within three months moro I shall have the largest nnd most efficient army ever placed under the control of ono man " "Excellent !

" "Lot go of HI" protested Breed , be coming instantly oxcltcd. "Impossible , imposslblol Why , the very force that has made us Is locked up In that 1m- pregnable vault beneath my collar at Forest Lakes' ' And would you destroy this tremendous dynamo by weaken ing H1" "No , " said Phillip dryly.

All. Koenlgsteln told the council that It was his intention not to oil the street in fiont of the property owned by those who did not sign the petitioner or- those who did not care for oiled streets. He would not dare , he said , to oil tills part of the street against the wishes of these propeity owners and be was agreed with by City At torney Barnbait that these property owners could not be forced to pay for this oiling even should the council give the signeis of the petition per mission to oil the street. With some parts of the streets oiled and other paits not oiled , Alayor Friday pointed out that the streets would be a sad looking sight and declared he was not in favor of this kind of work. He would lather have the entire stieet oiled. After Dr. Culmsee had spoken at great length of the good features of oiled loads C. E. Burnham presented the petition asking names to be with drawn and declared that one man whose signature was on the petition told him lie signed it as a joke. He mentioned the gentleman's name and this aroused Air. Koenigsteln. "He told you he signed it ns a joke ? " asked Air. Koeuigstein. "Well , I'll see him in the morning. " Even Dr. Culmseo jumped into this argument which seemed to give much humor to the councilmen , who allow ed the advocates for and against oil ing to "fight it out. " After the interruptions Mr. Burn- ham proceeded with his brief address , which touched on some points of Alessrs. Koenigstein's and Culmsee'.s talks. He said : "Air. Koenigstein says he is in favor of paving but " here Air. Koenigstein sprang from his chair and declared : "I did not say I was in favor of pav ing. " "Then you are not in favor of pav ing ? " asked Air. Burnham. "I did not say it , " said Air. Koenig- stein. "Well then , you mean you want to spend eight cents per foot for oiling and if it does not prove satisfactory there would be no hindrance for the paving later on ? " "Yes , that's It , " said Air. Koenig- stln. stln."I "I was begged to circulate this pe tition and all I want to know Is wheth er or not the city is in favor of this oil ing , " continued Mr. Koenigstein. "Is the city against oiling ? You mem bers of the council , If you arc , I will never get enough signatures because there are six Intersections. " Council All Against It. A roll call showed that every coun cilman was against the oiling on Nor folk avenue and several of the councilmen - men offered explanations , stating that the oiling of streets in cities has al ready proved unsuccessful. After this roll call Air. Koenigstein said : "Now I know where I am at ; all of you are against oiling the intersec tions , are you ? " "Yes , " answered the councilmen to- getlier. "Well then , give me back my peti tion. " The oiling would not necessarily stop the work of paving the street , he said. Twenty-nine In Senior Class.
