pharmacy will be in session at the
agricultural college next Tuesday and
Wednesday, May 23d and oath.
This board meets here three times
each school year, once each in Octo-
Der, February and May, and is doing
good work in maintaining the stand
ing of the pharmacists of the state.
1t is noteworthy that there is in
North Dakota a great lack of men
with sufficient training along this line
of work. Able pharmacists are in
great demand and control good sal
aries. Frequently in the past Profess
sor Kimberly who has charge of phar-
macy at this college has been obliged
to write to the pharmacy schools of
other states to find men capable of
filling positions in this state.
At this session of the board, the
college will be represented by class
of eleven men who have been here
during the past few months preparing
for this examination.
The erection of this building will be
under the supervision of Mr.. Tibert.
the instructor in woodwork.
The number of swine to be seen
scattered about the farm in temporary
quarters and the nature and the vari-
ETY. of housings occupied by the farm
sheep give evidence that the contem-
plated swine barn is an urgent need.
The details of the construction of that
building are being rapidly agreed upon
and the building will soon be started.
During the recent period of inactivi.
ty in the fields occasioned by the wet
weather of last week, Mr.. Crest has
been actively engaged in constructing
walks and cinder paths about the farm
buildings and these constitute greatly
appreciated features of permanent i'm
provements.
The double power windmill which
was recently erected upon the cattle
barn is attracting the attention of
many visitors and elicting numerous
compliments. We North Dakotans re.
joice to see our persistent winds har-
messed and forced to perform some
useful task. Now Hardsman Lanxon
fills the hopper with grain, starts the
mill and goes on with his other work
while the wind and mill grind feed for
the farm animals.
Plans for poultry house are being
worked over and criticised by the
members Of the agricultural depart
ment of this institution. A building
is to be erected to take the place of
the one destroyed by fire last winter.
Mr.. Crest has constructed a number
of colony houses which are accommo-
dating the flock reasonably we'll at
present but the large number of broods
which are coming off regularly now
will soon overtax the present housing
facilities. The new house is designed
to take care of the guinea pigs and
rabbits required by DR.. Van Els in his
veterinary work, in addition to hous-
ing the poultry.
Professor c. B. Waldron returned

now being distributed about the
campus.
The base ball team left Thursday
on trip to Bismarck and jamestown,
Walter Allen who has been depended
upon mainly for the pitching end of the
game and was one of the best all
round members of the team was called
away from the college last Saturday,
SO that he and Fred Birch who was
unable to accompany the team on this
trip will be out of the games.
The tennis courts are at last com.
pleted and will probably be broken in
today. Finished as they now are they
form very attractive addition to the
college campus and will certainly
answer any demand of the most exact.
