Once more attention Ib called to the
act that the Benlor party Is to be
given next Friday night, and that it
Ib the duty of every Benlor to be pres
ent. A slate has been pasBed around
among the boys, and the committee has
taken painB to see that a way io pro
vided for every girl.

The regulations Imposed by the fac
ulty upon tho ball players are becom
ing more, and more strenuous, and it
seems quite probable that next week
some of the candidates for positions
on the team will quit practice for some
time. No one will be allowed to play
or go on the trip who did not make
twelve hours if in school last semester,
and who Is not up to date in his pres
ent work. ThlB Will go pretty hard
with some of the men, but the measure
is a good one and should be enforced.
The men who make pretension of doing
something besides playing ball will be
given a better chance and the "Bluffers"
will be left In the background. Let
Nebraska set the example of having
cleaner and more thoroughly collegiate
athletics.

In athletic circles it seemB to be the
almost universal opinion that Nebras
ka's late coach developed his own abil
ity more than that of the prospective
team during his stay in Lincoln. With
the exception of the work he did in
bringing out the latent ability In some
of the candidates for the pitcher's box,
his efforts do not seem to have amount
ed to much. A great many people seem
to think that he was adopting a good
method of working out himself, while
at the same time drawing a nice salary
for his trouble. Now that a coach is
needed the most the place is acant,
and the responsibility of picking the
ttfam falls on the captain. What Ne
braska needs is a coach who will be
here the year round and have charge
of all athletics.

Registration for the spring term In
bench work continued all day Monday,
and yesterday the classes were all In
good condition and reciting regularly.
The prospectB for a large registration
are better than ever before. Profes
sors will find it hard to demand and
receive the same high standard of work
for the next two months that charac
terizes University work during tne win
ter. Many pupils work hard during the
cold season In order that they may
have a better excuse for slutting during
the spring term- From a student's
standpoint this method is all right, but
it is evident that many professors look
upon the thing differently. Others,
realizing the true state of things, make
allowance for this natural tendency to
have the spring fever and give extra
hard work previous to tho, "lazy sea
son.

Yesterday's Exercises:
Professor H. R. Smith talked yester
day on "Animal Husbandry," which he
declared of Importance "if we appre
ciate finer steak and more of it." Ne
braska's only resource Is her agricul
ture. Our mine is our black soil, of
which we have a good supply. The
black soil brings forth yellow gold.
The hiBtory of agriculture, in our
schools does not date back very far.
It is a creation of the last half of the
century, and very little has been done
until about ten years ago. People have
not been ready for Intensive agricul
ture. Hitherto, when the land became
poor and exhausted they left It and
came west,- but that time is now past.
The Hatch .jIU has had most important
results. It provided for appropriations
to establish experiment stations in the
several Btates; and the work done by
these for agriculture cannot be esti
mated. Within the past six months
our own station has Issued seven bulle
tins showing results of special experi
ments. As a school for instruction the
department has been growing steadily
and has this year an enrollment of 200
students, which is 10 per cent better
than last year. The work is of two
kinds: Instruction and research. The
instruction is along three or four lines,
vi..: questions of breeding, Darwin
ism, history of breeding up to the pres
ent date, and compound rations in feed
ing. The Importance of all these can
not be over-estimated. There is a very
bad waste on account of injudicious
feeding and mixing of food. The losses
.amount to 25 and 30 per cent. An ex
periment made recently Bhows that the
balanced ration gives 25 to 30 per cent
better results. Stock judging Is also
of vast Importance. The conformation
of the animal's body must be studied,
and the neef and dairy types developed
along their special lines. What inter
est Is already shown by some fanners
is seen from a communication recently
received: "What is the cheapebt way
of feeding? Answer by wire at my ex
pense." Farmers are slow to accept
new Ideas and the best way to convince
them is by performing actual experi
ments and publishing the icsults.
Thus, to show the difference In the re
sults' obtained from a corn ration and
a compound ration, it was found that
100 pounds of meat from a corn ration
cost one dollar more than the same
amount of meat from the compound
ration of alfalfa leaves and corn.
Hence if corn is worth 30 cents a
bushel It Is a great Item If the vast
amount of corn In the state can be made
to bring 9 cents more per bushel.
Furthermore, the splendid grazing
lands In western Nebraska produce
much stock which may be brought
down here and fattened on cheap grain
and forage, and by this division of
labor the wealth of the state greatly
increased.

Alaskan Impressions.
(Continued from page 3 )
days when their fathers were a proud
and sturdy race with villages at every
turn of the river for many miles.
Some customs the natives have still
from their Alent forefathers In their
ways of hunting and fishing and living
in villages Others as their fidelity to
the (Jreek (huuh, the drinking of tea,
and on special occasions the making of
a quick brew of yeast to drink are
supposed to come from the Russians.
They wear white men's clothes and
speak Alent, Russian and, nearly all of
them, English. Some can read and
write a little. Most of the men work
enough at fishing or about the can
neries to buy clothes and a little tea,
sugar, crackers, tobacco and trinkets
at the store. Some go out In the fall
and winter still, and bring in a few
skins of bear and otter.
Karluk is a village with a school
house but no school, its church has no
minister save a native priest, excepting
for the occasional visits of the Rus
sian priest fiom a village at the other
side of the Island. With less than
half a dozen exceptions, no white man
can truly bo said to have, his home
there. Perhaps five hundred men are
brought in every spiing, fed, given a
place to put their beds, worked through
the summer and taken back to San
Francisco In the fall. Chinamen, Ital
ians, and largely ScandlnaIan sailors
and fishermen make up a very mixed
population. But until men shall find
some industries besides simply work
ing by the day or month for the salmon
canning companies, and make their
homes there, we can hardly hope to
see Karluk more than it is now.
Some four miles above the spit the
same company which operates the can
neries supports a hatchery which I
have reason to believe Is one of the
largest and best equipped salmon
hatcheries in the world. It" was here
that I spent a little more than two
years. But when I come to speak of
my work there, and the friendships
which I formed, it seems that I will
be too personal, and I must beg leave
to pass this by for the present. No
doubt when I shall be in the midst of
the sweltering torment of another Ne
braska summer I shall think longingly
of the Kadlak hills, with their odor of
matted mountain blueberries, and their
cool brooks murmuring along over
moss and rocks and among ferns.

are taken as sound on other mat
