Will we beat Oregon? Maybe.
There was a snow storm all day yesterday, a wet, slushy snow
that covered the walks and endangered one's neck. Most of the walks
in the vicinity of the University were cleaned off, but some of them
were not, and the negligence of the property owners was a source of
much discomfort to students in general.
It is probably a small matter to let the snow on a sidewalk remain
packed hard and slippery for a day, but it is plainly a character barom
eter of the property owner.
A person who neglects his sidewalks in snowy weather, neglects
other things as well.
The people who do the most knocking in the world are the ones
who should be knocked the most. There has been much agitation on
the part of some sanctimonious reformers, for more democracy in
school democracy democracy. If they would start the ball rolling
by speaking to underclassmen and creating a general atmosphere of
good will, instead of picking the flaws out of everything, things would
improve rapidly.
The football team will arrive in Portland at 9 o'clock this morning
and spend the day in getting acquainted with their new surroundings.
They will be thinking of us a great many times, and wondering if we
are still behind them.
At four-thirty in Lincoln, Saturday afternoon, the game will begin
in Portland and every man and women must remember Dr. Stewart's
request that Nebraskans be behind the team in spirit at least. He
said that the wave of enthusiasm and loyalty will be transmitted to
them on the field. We are out there to beat Oregon, and we will do it.

BRIEF BITS OF NEWS
Feeding Lambs
Many letters are being received at
the Nebraska experiment station ask
ing whether or not It is profitable to
feed lambs at the present high price
of feeders.
If one can get a margin of 50 cents
on the selling price over the buying
price, it may be a profitable transac
tion, is the answer of the animal hus
bandry section of the experiment sta
tion. Two years ago, when corn was
60 cents and alfalfa hay $8, gains on
lambs cost $4.88 per hundred. Last
year with feed at the same price,
lambs fed heavily on corn made gains
at $5.53 per hundred, and those receiv
ing a medium feed of corn made gains
costing $4.90 per hundred. As corn
will probably bring 70 cents and al
falfa hay $10 this winter, it is likely
gains will cost upwards of 6 cents a
pound. Consequently, a 60-cent mar
gin between buying and selling price
should mean a chance for profit to the
careful feeder who gets satisfactory
gains.
Milk Doubles Egg Production
The use of milk in feeding chickens
will double egg production, according
to the poultry section of the Nebraska
experiment station, Lincoln.
The hen never lays an egg until all
the ingredients necessary for the com
plete development of a chick are pres
ent. Since the egg contains protein as
well as carbohydrates, any amount of
carbohydrates fed in the form of grain
will not offset the necessity of protein,
Milk given to the birds, either as a
drink or in the form of wet mash, will
double egg yields. Commercial meat
scrap is of equal value, and may be
substituted when milk cannot be obtained.
Rural Credits Act
Information regarding the new farm
loan act and instructions as to how
to form a National Farm Loan associa
tion to take advantage of low rates of
interest made possible by the rural
credits act may be had free upon appli
cation to the agricultural extension
service of the University of Nebraska,
Lincoln. The extension service has
also begun to furnish speakers to give
talks on the new act and will be glad
to continue to send workers to talk
at farmers' gatherings whenever they
are desired.
The Alpha Phi house at . Leland
Stanford university burned down last
week. A call was put in to the Palo
Alto fire department, but was not an
swered. The whole sorority and fra
ternity row turned out to fight the
fire, but their efforts were unavailing.
The house, which was valued at
$14,000, was insured, but the furniture
and clothing were a total loss.
The Catholic Students club will hold
an initiation at the Cave, near the
penitentiary, Saturday night. The
primative savage incantation service

of the Dup-Dup will have charge of
