COLLEGE NOTES.

Dean E. S. Keene delivered lee
ture on Manual Training" before
the Harvey High School, Friday
evening, Feb. 25th. This is the third
number in the College Extension
course at that place.
Prof. Randlett will address the
Farmers Club at Larimore this af-
ternoon, Saturday and will 7lso
speak to a similar audience at Nun.
icl. on Tuesday.
In the various sections of the
stock judging classes there are just
two hundred and sixty men engaged
as students. A series of contests
will be conducted at the close of the
term. In fact the contest is already
on and has been during the entire
term, as only those of the highest
standings are eligible to the prelim-
inaries. The premiums will be choic-
err than ever before and the whole
plan is exciting lively interest.
| The Red River Valley Corn and
Glover convention held in Grand
Forks last week, was attended by the
following members of the college ia
Guilty: President Worst, Profs.
Shepherd. Waldron, Dynes and Rand
lett. President Worst delivered on
address on "The Life and Character
lof Washington" on the evening Of
i the 22d. Prof. Randlett exhibited
one hundred choice samples of corn,
each made up of ten ears. This corn
was collected from various parts of
the state, including localities in the
extreme northern and western por-
lions. About half of the entire ex-
hibit was grown by country school
pupils. This display attracted much
attention and made convincing argu-
ment, as all such exhibits do, that
cessful's.
Dean shepperd and Prof. Martin
attended the North Dakota Dairy.
mems association, Thursday and Fri
day, at Jamestown.
Mr.. A. l.. Fitz, who for two years
has been conducting milling and
baking tests at this station, will
leave Monday to assume his new du-
ties at Manhattan, Kas. The selec-
ton of Mr.. Fitz to fill this position
| is a fine recognition of superior
ability. It may be considered as a
promotion, both in point of position
and salary, giving him complete
charge Of milling and baking tests
in one of the leading wheat produc-
ing states.
The basketball game this evening
Saturday between the Agricultur.
al College and Fargo College is the
second game between the two teams
and promises to be unusually fast
and exciting. The A. C. won the first
game by narrow margin and have
the advantage of playing the second
game on their own floor. Present
indications, however, seem favorable
to victory for Fargo College. The
practice of the A. c. team during the
week has been far from promising.
A condition known to every coach,
that of staleness, has been very evil
dent in the work of some members
i of the team. A victory for Fargo
; College would enable the supporters
of the team to lay claim to the state
championship. If the A. c. wins it
will tighten the hold that team has
already on premier basketball 1onors
| within the state.
DR.. Harris spoke before the Poly
! technic Society on the various phases
of the work done in the Chicago
Packing houses. He showed num-
Der of slides illustrating the various
stages in the transformation of the
live animal to dressed meat and
some views of the stockyards and the
activities therein. In his lecture he
also outlined the process of manu.
facture Of some packing house pro-
ducts, such as sausage, dried beef,
butterine, canned meats, etc. He
presented some figures which showed
that the receipts of live stock at the
Chicago yards were less this year
than last, which accounts to some
extent for the Increased price Of
meats.
