1t should be remembered that with
sows Of mixed breeding improvement
comes chiefly from the sire If purely
bred. The more mixed the breeding
of the dam, the more surely will the
progeny resemble the sire. AS markets

matter much what breed the sire
comes from, but it is pretty certain
that the markets, Of the future will

It Is peculiarly unfortunate that hog
cholera should be brought into the
northwestern states. It might have
been kept out Of these. 1t was not
there originally but it has been
brought there. Hog cholera is al
ready in the Judith basin. 1t is in
other portions of the northwest. 1t
is there because it has been brought
there. There was no necessity for
have kept it out, but evidently due
precaution was not exercised or 1t
would not have been introduced. It
will not avail to say hat the climate
OF those states is SO pure that it will
not nurse hog cholera. 1t Is no more
pure than the climate of Great Britain
and yet hog cholera is plentiful there.
Hog cholera is a germ disease. 1t
will come into any country into which
the germs r carried, and it will
flourish there howsoever pure the cli-
mate may be.
When swine. therefore. are brought
into any part of the northwest, let
those who bring them make absolute
ly sure that they do not come from a
cholera infested region. Let them
make absolutely sure that they carry
them in properly disinfected cars.
These two precautions taken, they
need not bring in hog cholera.
The ranchmen Of the northwest
must not imagine that the pure air
Of that region will give them i'm
munity from hog cholera. 1t will not,
where the germ lis brought In but it
may lessen the mortality. They must
not conclude that the foods which may
grow will be a safeguard. These will
lessen the morality, but they wilt not
prevent the introduction of hog
cholera. When it comes 1t is brought
through. the medium of some agency,
and usually due rrecaution will pre-
vent it from coming.

UNIVERSITY QUINT "Sa'
OFF ON A TRIP

Grand Forks. N. D., Feb. s.-Coach
Archer, Manager Joseph Forster and
seven players Of the University Of
North Dakota basketball squad left
the city last evening on the longest
trip team ever made from the
local institution. They will be absent
for ten days, returning on the even
ing of Feb. 10. During that time they
will play seven games, FIVE of them
on the first five days of their trip.
The men who will take the trip will
be Murray, captain; Robinson. Muir
ply, Lowe, Thexton, Smith and prob
ably McCutcheon. They have lost two
| gamest so far this season, both by g.
narrow margin. The first one, their
first n Of the season, was lost to the
z. M. G. A. on their floor, but since
that time they have defeated the "Y"
twice. The other was lost to Fargo
college by a few points. The men are
leaving with the hopes that the great
er percentage Of victories will be on
their side, and believe that they can
accomplish that end.
The first game will be with the
Wahpeton science today. This will
be a warming up contest and the men
will probably not extend themselves,
being content to take the game by
a safe score. This team has already
been defeated by an overwhelming
figure by the local team, and as their
strength is known, no apprehension is
felt.

In the northwestern states the
ranchmen are giving much attention
to the introduction Of swine. This is
true of all the northwestern states,
particularly the western Dakotas'
Montana. Washington and Oregon.
This move is certainly a step in the
right direction. Pork at SO, per hum
dred live weight is certainly better
than wheat at 70 cents per bushel.
But there is a right and a wrong way
Of going into pork raising. Persons
who are not familiar with the business
are pretty certain to take the wrong
way. At least they are quite as apt
to take the wrong methods as the
method that is judicious and right.
What is meant by the wrong
method? It means first, that farmers
are generally, Of the opinion that they
must purchase high bred sows or soWs
that are purely bred and it Sec
ond, that foundation stocks may be
brought in that will bring hog cholera
with them. The lack of information
on these two points is going to cost
the ranchmen dearly in all the north
western states.
When choosing foundation sows, it
is not essential that they shall be
purely pred OF even ulsAAS SAouSus
unless the ranchman Is going to pro-
duce pure bred swine for breeding.
1t does not matter how mixed the
breeding. But it does matter that the
sows shall have good conformation.
Good conformation means a long body
and enough Of length Of limb to make
the sows active as graziers during the
season of grazing. 1t does not matter
much what the blood .components are,
providing the conformation is as
stated above. Mixed blood elements
are advantageous, rather than pre-
judicial, for the reason that the more
mixed the blood elements on the side
of the lam, the more rapid will be the
Improvement when such dams are
mated with pure bred sires Of any
breed. This is a lesson that It is to
be feared not many ranchmen have
learned and it is a lesson which they
are slow to learn. The'idea is almost
universal that the breeder must begin
with high grade soWs. AS a rule he
will succeed later with low grade sows,
because OF the less cost. But he must
give attention to- the selection Of long
bodiel sows. This will insure the
production OF relatively large sstters

Bolslnger did the am stunt for the

come the lead.
B~olsinger's endurance and determin-
alton to win was the noticeable feat
ure OF the last half. His two fouls and
four baskets added ten points to the
A. c. score. Mckee went in for Har-
ris, who was unable to get through
the Watkins defense. He added four
points, while Wilcox connected for one
basket. Blk did some first class floor
work, as did McQuillan.
The team work of the A. C. squad
could not make up for their poor bas-
xet shooting. The hill school men had
the cinch on the basket shooting, al
though their team work was ragged
in spots.
Sim and Boise proved a great pair
of defense men, aided greatly by Muir
ray, who VA compelled to play some
what on the defense owing to an in
tured leg. He connected for one nice
basket and four fouls.
Torson did good work but could not
connect for a ringer.
r, c. Freshmen Trio.
The remarkable fact is that Coach
Watkins has developed three fresh
men into championship caliber. Sim
is an experienced prep-school player,
and is playing a great game, although
he has never played guard before.
Thomas is fitting in nicely at center,
letting Captain Murray off from the
jumping. He put up a hard game Sat-
urday night, but had hard luck on
baskets.
Peterson was probably the liveliest
and smallest man On the floor. His
baskets numbered four.
The A. G. were greatly handicapped
In o having a foul shooter. Wilcox
tried six and vas unable to connect at
all. Bolsinger went in for the fouls
n speared two out Of four.
The game was close and hard fought
every minute. 1t was certainly a
heart-smasher for the loyal farmers
sons on the side-lines. They are still
boosting, and are determined to wit
ness a victory in March when Coach
Woods pets return at the F. c. gym.
In the meantime Coach Watkins is nor
resting. The schedule is well arrang-
ed, and, he will try and have Carpenter
and Haggart in shape for the last big
contest. Both men were out Of condi-
ton for the game.
After the game Saturday night the
A. c. management extended an invita-
ton to the Fargo college squad TO a
banquet at the Hopper Kettle Inn. The
coach and players responded, and it is
reported that the two teams got to-
gether around the festive board and,
forgetting the former rivalry, united
on the common bond of good cheer and
a hearty appetite.

Fargo college, 20; Agricultural col
lege 1S.
Fargo college is still in the lead for
the state championship honors. The
Dig game Of the season was won Sat-
urday night, when Coach Watkins re-
cruits sailed forth from the A. c..
gym with the big end Of the official
score-2O to Is. To man. local en-
thls1asts the score was a big surprise.
Others surnised that Fargo college
would blossom out in time for a, vic
tory.
The A. G.. gym. never held a. larger
crowd. The balconies were grooming
n the hall was crowded to the doors.
The north side was reserved for A. G.
rooters and their band. A roofing
squad of about eighty men made the
a ring with systematic yelling. The
hill school supporters faced the noise
from the opposite side, making up for
the smaller numbers by extra lung
power. \.
The A. G. band occupied the center
OF the floor for a preliminary concert.
The musicians, under the direction of
Harold Bachman, produced some ex-
ellen music. Following several lively
marches the A. c.. students sang the
Yellow and the Green, to the band &C.
SoA1pdAlAA1lSI1l' oIS il lie lllGSL D1tS
Of real college spirit was shown when
the band played the Fargo College
Alma Mater. The F. G.. section re-
sponded with cheers and applause.
At 1925 the whistle was blown by
Referee Clarke of Minneapolis, and the
festivities were in progress. The, A. c..
forward, Harris, tossed in a, ringer,
and it looked easy for the A. c. This
basket was the only point scored by
the A. G.. during the first half. For
the hill school Peterson was easily the
star Of the first half, dropping in three
pretty baskets. Murray connected
with three out Of five fouls and the
score was boosted to 8 to 2 by the time
the first whistle was blown.
Sim, the chunky little guard for
Fargo college, had three personal fouls
Tailed against him. One more would
have disqualified him. There was no
little anxiety in the Blue and Gold
camp over this fact.
Both teams came back the second
half with pep, and it was hit and
miss for some few minutes. The A. G.
came to fora brief period and with
some good passing and shooting came
up dangerously near the F. C. score,
although at no time equalling it. With
everything pointing to a cloudburst
for the farmers, Boise broke up the A.

Woldring is the pitcher sent to the

Mike to spill the ink on a contract
for 1914.
Names is a young first baseman,
