In the building being erected
adjacent to the east side of Phar

pigs, and other animals used for
experimental purposes by the col
lege of pharmacy, will have a
more roomy home than they now
enjoy in the loft of Pharmacy hall.
The change is abode is being
made because of lack of sunshine,
warmth, and sanitation in the
loft. The shelter under construc
tion is to be model in every re

quartz glass which permits a.l
the beneficial rays of the sun to
enter, and the building will be
equipped with two sun light lamps.
By these means the animals will
obtain aa much sun light as any
living out of doors.
The animals will be confined In
all iron cages, which will have
moveable bottoms. The cages and
animals wiU be sterilized with
steam, killing all Insects and ver

heated from the university heat

'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.
