instead of five as at present met the
same fate only Chicago Michigan and

colleges were In favor of allowing
football practice to hetjin on Septem-

that the rules regarding the lixuit of
participation in athletics should apply
fm'.y to football track and baeuall
a knocked out by the same vote as
the first recommendation.
Before the meeting Director Huff of
illiinoia Dt. Raycroft of Chicago and
;Keen Fiixpairlck of Michigan who
came over Instead of liaird who was
unable to g"t away were busy talk-
Jn over dates. Illinois fixed up some
t"!ifative baseball dates 'with Wiscon-
sin and Michigan but Huff refuned to
jvfi tv!(.m out. The only definite date
awvifj was that between Wisconsin
and Nebraska for a baseball game on
Kay 11. Aii'ltic Manuser Giiiespie
of Northwf Ktern was on htitid but did
jtotliinf In the way of getting basebail
or track dates.
pn-t.-n'.iUve Wilson of North-
w"s!h'd refused to say anything about
llio reucit that Northwestern might
quit the conference. Some of those
r:rser.t tho'tht North western shou'd
'ake only a passive part In affairs in
view of the fact it practically uas dee
away with Intercollegiate athletics at
Evansten.
In the voting where It required a
two-thirds vote to pass a proposition
the negative vote of Northwestern
just offset the favorable vote of Chi-
cago and Michigan both of whom are
much more Interested in the plans
proposed than is Northwestern. Chair-
man Hutching said he doubted
whether the conference wanted North-
ivestern out and even If it did he did
not gee any way to get the Methodist
college out. The matter was not
brought up in the meeting.
Chicago Iowa and Michigan came
instructed to vote In favor of all the
revisions recommended Wisconsin
and Illinois In favor of all but the
?evcn. garr.0 rule. Northwestern and
Pttrdue against all revisions. Minne-
sota wa? understood to be opposed to
the reforms and voted that way while
Indiana apparently yoted against ail.
"Day of the Big Man
Is Comirg"- Cochems
Athletic Director of St. Louis Univer-
sity a Firm Believer in Mutcle
and Brawn.
Edward S. Cochems St. Louis ifni-
versity's athletic director Is a great
believer In the triumph of brawn. He
says it is Just as vitally necessary for
men and women to exercise as It is
for them to eat.
"It is the man with the body free
from achfcs and pains who really en-
joys life" said Cochems. "That is one
reason why I arn such an enthusiast
on the great frame of football. Rugby
develops physical giants and we can't
have too many.
"Just let me make one little predic-
tion; 1907 will be the year of the big
can la athletics.
"DuiUih the paat year it looked as
if a new era wa3 coming when the
iitdit and agile man would excel In all
forms of athletics. Recent events
rhow however that the big man is
corning into his own.
"In football despite the new rules
the big men are not down and out by
any means. French Kinney and Orr
were leaders on our team last fall and
will be of more use than ever next
year.-
"Ralph Rose the giant shot-putter
of Michigan was a champion at throw-
ing the weight until Wesley Coe came
along. Coe Is big enough but com-
pared with Rose be Is a pigmy.
"In pugilism the practical defeat of
the wily middleweight Philadelphia
Jack O'Brien at the hands of the
heavier and sturdier Tommy Hums
makes it certain that the day of the
siusjger has not passed and that the
agile clever boxer of the Corbett-
O'Brien gchtol cannot defeat and
therefore will fall to hold attention
agaitiht the big bruiser the fighter of
weight and tremendous muscular de-
velopment like Jeffries."

ter power dam at Eeokult. Ia. is con-
structed it will raise tie level of tie
river nearly 40 feet at that point and
will consequently back up the river
to a point about one mile north cf
Burlington. This will form as Im-
mense lake 41 miles Ion? and several
miles wide in some places. This will
be one cf the finest bodies of water In
the upper valley and will be most ad-
mirable for beating and rowing. It is
believed the region will partake much
of the nature of a watering resort
and will attract thousands cf summer
visitors. In this case the propo-sed
rowing association will be one of the
most popular and important organiza-
tions for outdoor sport in the west.
The athletic board at the Universi-
ty of Xebf.iska has a; '; meed the
election of William C. ("King") Cole
as football coach for the coming sea-
son. The salary is to be f 1800. Cole
is a graduate of the University of
Michigan and finished his career as
a player under Yost in the season pf
1502 playing tackle and end. He had
played previously at Marietta college
Ohio to which he returned in 1303 to
become head coach. In 1504 he wa3
Yost's first assistant at Michigan and
in 1505 he was elected head coach at
Virginia university retaining the po-

sif.lon during the Reason of 1906. His
teams at Virginia have been univer-
sally successful hig pupils losing but
one contest each year under his in-
struction. In 1905 Virginia defeated
West Point while the only defeat of
1906 was In the game with Carlisle
the Indians being victorious by the
slim score of 18 to 17 the Virginians
missing one goal. Cole'c election to
the Nebraska coachship was due to
his splendid recommendations as to
character habits temperament and
football ability. He is to have some
fine material at Nebraska next fail
and football enthusiasts at the Corn-
husker institution predict for him a
successful season in 1907.
Maxey Long the world's record
holder at the quarter mile is out with
an explanation of why our athletes
only last four or five years giving the
reason as too much indoor running.
Comparing the indoor and outdoor
seasons we find that the former is
fast outstripping its rival both in the
number of meetings held and the size
of the entry lists. It Is safe to assert
that in the period from November 1
to April 1 the athletic meets will av-
erage at least one a week. The prizes
are better indoors because the crowds
are larger and the managers can af-
ford to "sweeten" the trophies to a
degree seldom equaled by the pro-
moters of BUitimer garnet. The fact of
having a porta every week alone at-
tracts more athletes to the Indoor sea-
son because once In form they are
able to get into a race much oftener
than during the oummer.
Ed McKcan the old Cleveland
shortstop has accepted terms to man-
age the Dayton team in the Central
league next season. McKean lg some-
what over weight but still Is able to
get around some.

At tie recent meeting cf the Hypno-

Literary Bullets.
Thomas Jefferson and a publisher'!
reader according to the former's
press agent met one day ia New
York.
The talk turned to li.ature and
the reader mentioned that a novel
after 13 rejections had been accepted
by him and had cained for his house
nearly $10001)0.
"A mighty good book it Is too."
said the reader. "Have you read it?''
"Yes." aid Mr. Jefferson.
"Well what do you think of it?"
"There is only one thing to be said
in IU favor" Mr. Jefferson answers).
"A friend of mint riurini? the Kmn!h-I

bail was unable to get beyond the

himself.
The late Hamilton Aide an English
playwright was a curiously versatile

novels verses and essays; he was a
more or less popular composer; he
turned out divers successful dramatic
pieces and he painted landscapes de-

t.j tie Farmers' Review. We tiv
heard a great deal about rust of oats
bet as yet not much has b-a seen in
tils locality. I do not know that th
farmers have yet taken tie mat'.et
aeriously. and think that they are do-
ing nothing to check the ' spread cf
rust. We generally sow our oats her
anywhere from the 1st to the 15th of
April. Most of these oats are fed upon
tie farms and so the fertility goes
tack to the 1-nd. The greatest ob-
stacle to successful growing cf oats
in this locality is the fact that they
are not put in rotation enough as in
the case of corn pastute and mead-
ows. I think that the yield of oats
can be very much increased here If
we would frequently change the cat
ground to pasturage and put cattle on
it then put la corn for two years anl
then bring the same back Into oats.
The ground is generally prepared by
cutting Etalks then sowing after disc-
ing twice and harrowing twice and
sometimes the ground is rolled.
WATER-BARREL ON WHEELS.
Handy Device For Use In the Garden
and Orchard.
Here is the sketch of a handy
wheelbarrel suggested by a Prairie
Farmer correspondent He writes
that he finds this arrangement handy
about the garden orchard or farm
buildings. It is useful whenever a
man desires to fill a barrel and move
it without help. For Instance in car-
rying water to the garden one man
is able to do a3 much with this cart
practically as might be done with a
horse barrel and s'one boat
A good idea of the method of con-
struction may be secured by referring
to the cut At a point just above the
middle of the barrel a hanger projects.

The Round of Nature.
Nature has a system of her own.
There is an endless chain of causes
each operating on tha other. At the
experimental field near Rockford. III.
recently a group of farmers were dls-cus-sing
the lack of seed in a field of
clover. Mr. W. L. Frisbie said: "The
lack of seed in the clover is duo
largely to the lack of wild animals
and predatory birds. We have killed
off the minks weasels skunks squir-
rels owls and hawks which preyed
on the field mice. That has permit-
ted the field mice to multiply and
they have killed off the bumble bees
by eating the young bees while in the
larval stage and also perhaps by eat-
ing the honey stored for winter. One
thing in nature depends on another."
A Good Word for the Hens.
Don't get discouraged if the hens
ire not making you rich laying win-
ter eggs. They have to rest for a
abort time each year and if this ree
takes place during a part of the wirft
ter it is likely that the eggs win
hatch better and the chicks bo moro
vigorous than If forced to the limit
