COLLEGE ACTIVITIES ' Aen has been a considerable discussion lately pro and con concerning extra-curriculum activities in college and a widespread feeling that these flings were to a t oo great degree absorbing the attention and consuming the time of the undergraduate student 1 •was waited on only a few days >>JIo by an eager reporter who was unhappy until she got my attitude on such matters. I did a great many tblags is college besides carrying my studies--and 1 did that well, if I dc say so who shouldn't--and as I look back over the years I have only one keen regret and that is that instead of wasting so much really good time earning my living I had not borrowed more money and so given myself more time to read more and to take part in more of the activities of college and especially in athletics. The man who in college does not learn some athletic accomplishment well is making a mistake-- a mistake which he will begin to realise about the time he reaches middle age. When a man in college lets his Interest in the extra-curricular activities of the institution take precedence of his studies, when he says, for instance, that he would rather make the baseball team or be class president, or editor of the college daily than to make Phi Beta Kappa, he has the wrong point of view. The main trouble with college activities today, as I view them, is that In institutions like my own, ten per cent of the students do eighty, per cent of the extra-curricular work of college and many of these by taking on an excessive burden In addition to their scholastic duties, often make a mess of both. If we could Induce fifty per cent even of the undergraduates of college, who have no other obligations than those involved in carrying their college work, to take up some outside activity, and load would be divided, and the burden would Injure no one. College would be benefited If a large percentage of students were more interested In their studies, and more interested, too, in the things outside of their studies, which half of them at least have plenty of time to cultivate.

Bart 9th Street Pier Cleveland, Ohio Contamination of Milk Quite Easy to Prevent From the act of milking, as well as from any subsequent handling, milk may become contaminated. If the udder and flanks of the cow are covered with dirt from yard or btable, the process of {nil king will dislodge a greater or less amount of this filth, causing It to fall into the milk pail. Everything that comes into contact with the milk, such as palls, strainers, cans, etc., may be a source of trouble if not kept clean and dry. Milking with wet hands always results in contamination of the milk and should not be practiced. The flanks and udders of the cows should be carefully wiped with a damp cloth before milking in order to remove dost and dirt which would otherwise fall into the milk. The cows should not be groomed, bedded or fed just prior to milking, because by so doing the air becomes laden with dust, which gets into the milk.

When pasture Is abundant, it is the nature of cattle to feed during the cool part of the day or at night and to lie in the shade during the hot part of the day, therefore every permanent pasture should have enough shade to accommodate Its cattle. Various trees may be planted for this purpose. They must be protected at all times so that live stock cannot tramp closer than five to six feet from the trees or they may be killed. Four posts should be set and a fence built about each tree. They should be planted on land which has good surface drainage so that mudholes will not be found during rainy weather. Cows should not be salted under such trees. Shade trees on too high land or close to a wire ferfce may invite loss from lightning. <"%nnihia*" Clothes "Tfcfe expression "clothes made from sunshine" has been used in referring to cellulose products, because without sunshine cellulose would not be stored up in plants. ^ Community Dairy Milk X Milk that cotpes from contented cows, tuberculin tested and properly fed.

Since spring and summer grass is relatively low in nutri-- ents, a cow producing 25 to 30 pounds of milk per day must eat about 150 to 300 pounds of grass to get enough feed for her dally requirements. Since this is practically Impossible, a grain supplement must be given. For cows producing 30 to 35 pounds of milk per day, a mixture of the ordinary farm grains, such as oats, corn, wheat bran, and barley fed at the rate of 1 pound of grain to 4 to 6 pounds of milk produced per day will be sufficient. For. cows producing more than 35 pounds of milk per day, the ration should contain one high protein concentrate. Digestibility of F-od* Experiments with dairy cows which have been conducted by the Ohio ex> • perlment station Indicates that most - of the dairy rations are not as digest? ible as generally considered. Rations which were low tn protein seemed to depress tire digestibility more than rations which had a higher proteiQ content. However, there was considerable variation in rations that had similar amounta of protein.
