'FUz' and 'Paladin D IP Come to Bad End on Agricultural College Campus The successful college careers of Fitz" and 'Paladin D n," two popular and prominent Individuals on the college of agriculture campus came to an abrupt halt on Wednesday. No, they did not have tough Iuck, In the quarterlies. Fitz and "Paladin" were two fattened calves which were slaugh tered Monday. The master farmers of Nebraska will feast upon the remains of the former, while the latter will provide nourishment for the farmers' fun feed. Both had varied and successful careers. Fitz was the reserve grand champion at the state fair in the 4-H club Shorthorn baby beef class. He was raised by La Vera Gingrich of Fairfield, who is at present enrolled as a freshmen In the college of agriculture. "Fitz" Raises H. C. L. "Fitz" was an especially hand some animal. His coat was of spotless white. The Nebraska Farmer was compelled to pay twenty-five cents a pound for him before he would consent to grace the table at the banquet, which the magazine will give Jan. 7, In honor of Nebraska's master farmers. The beef of both nnimqig wm be put in the coolers to age for a month. Prof. H. J. Gramlicb, chairman of the department of animal husbandry, stated that he did not expect all the master farm ers to be Englishmen, but that the beef is thought to Improve In flavor and tenderness through aging. "Paladin" was a pure bred Hereford. He was bred and fed by the college of agriculture. He tipped the scale at eight hundred and fifty pounds, although his life waa short, only ten months. Has Fsmlly Tree. He had relatives of which be could have Justly been proud, be ing a full brother to 'Paladin Do mlnlo." His brother was exhib ited by the college two years ago and won honors at all the leading stock shows in the country. "Paladin" was not reserved for breeding purposes because he had a "lime back.' Farmer boys know that this means that he had a white streak down his back. This made him the more popular with Here ford breeders than a fe'low with a "yellow s'reak" down his tack is with the members of a tbill team. And so "Paladin" waa sent to the block rather than to the ex hibition ring. sr- f
