TUBERCULOSIS
COTTAGE FUND

The Degree of Honor have yet to
raise $4,000 of the fund before we
will be able to build our cottage at
Dunseith. We would like very much
to start work as soon this spring as
the weather permits. And whether we
do or not depends largely on the gen
crosby of the public.
The sanatarium at Dunseith is at
present over crowded and many pa
tients have been turned away for lack
of room.
Every effort will be put forth on our
part to secure this money before April
LIST. Think of the patients who should
be there today getting the help which
only place of this kind can give, and
who if not given almost immediate
help will be beyond recovery.
1t may be you have a loved one suf-
fering from the dread disease, who
may at an early date occupy one of the
rooms in this cottage, and nowhere
could they receive more help than at
Dunseith. Everything that medical
skill and proper care can do is done
for them. And owing to the climate
no better place can be found for the
proper care and cure of this disease.
To raise our part of the fund the
Valley City Degree of Honor have de-
cided to give a supper in the near fu.
ture and the price of the supper tick
cts will be left to the generosity of
the buyer.
When buying these tickets do not
think alone of the supper and If it will
be worth the price, but of the way the
money is to be used and of the hearts
that will be made lighter and of the
homes made happy by the restoration
to health of some loved one, made pos
sible by this donation and make it h
generous one.

tubers of suitable size for planting
next spring. These should be careful
ly preserved az seed for the coming
crop.
Such system Of reserving seed, II
persisted in by all potato growers Of
any state, will apparently greatly ad-
vance not only the yield per acre but
also the type of the tubers produced.
The agronomy department in 1912
found that large tubers cut into four
pieces and used for seed produced
from 20 to % per cent greater yield
than small tubers also cut into four
pieces and used for seed.

HIGH SCHOOL BASKET
BALL TOURNAMENT
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20. 1914.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1914.
The High School League of North
Dakota has divided the state into four
districts for the purpose of league
contests in order to determine cham
pionships which have heretofore been
somewhat in doubt. Basketball tour
naments and other contests will be
held in these districts under the aus.
pieces Of the state institutions with Of
ficials from outside the district. The
winners in these district contests will
then meet in a state contest and de.
eide the championship.
To close the basketball season the
Board of Control has chosen Dickin-
son, Minot, Grand Forks and Valley
City for the places at which the dis
trict tournaments will be held. These
tournaments will be held next week,
the local one In the Normal school
gymnasium, either Thursday and Fri.
day or Friday and Saturday. Only
High schools belonging to the league
may compete. In this district the fol-
lowing schools may compete: Car
rington, Casselton, Fargo, Hunter,
Jamestown, LaMoure, New Rockford,
Cakes, Tower City and Valley City.
The contest will undoubtedly be be-
tween Valley City and Fargo in this
district. March and the winners of
the four district tournaments will meet
at Fargo on the Agricultural College
floor to decide the championship.

PLANNING THE FARMSTEAD.

Suggestions That Will Save Time and
Money For the Farmer.
There is perhaps no place and prob.
ably no line of work that is more loose
~ or poorly planned than some Of the
farmsteads of this country, says II. E.
Colby in the Dairy Farmer.
When you realize that the farm IS a
manufacturing plant, when one takes
into consideration that here the raw
materials-thes soil, the seeds, the crops.
the animals-all are products that are
to be used either as means of manu-
featuring the highest class quality Of
human food or as food itself, then one
will realize the Importance Of SO ar
ranging the farmstead that the work
can be carried on most conveniently
and economically.
Frequently there are natural condi-
lions that must be taken into consid-
Grafton in laying out place Of this
kind, but with the present day meth
ds Of building and equipping it is pos.
sible to overcome almost anything OF
this kind without serious Inconvenience
and when once it is arranged remem.
Der it must stand for years. 1t is
mistake to try to economic time that
will mean few dellars or little work
that will occupy day or two when
building is in process and then spend
ten or fifteen minutes every day for
the next twenty years, simply because
this saving was made in the first place.
1t is important that the products Of
the farm should be handled In such q

This is the time Of year when .
great many South Dakota farmers
think about potatoes. 1t is also the
time of year when the dweller In tho
city and small town, and the great
city and the nation at large, also
think about potatoes somewhat.
A potato grower has potatoes es-
pccially impressed on his mind be-
cause it is time to dig the crop, and
the others because it is time to find
out whether the pocketbook is long
enough to reach a winters supply OF
the tubers.
The present time of year should not

way that they will begin at one end
Of the plant and come out finished
article at the other end. For example:
The dairy barn will be in one place,
the milk house where the cream Is to
be handled and the milk is to be sep
arated may be considerable distance
from that. and the calf and hog barns,
where the skimmilk Is. to be fed, will
be equally distant in another direction.
There is no reason why the farm
should not be planned in such a way
that the milk can be taken directly
from the barn to the milk house and
from there to the hog house and calf
barn and henhouse without duplicating
the path back to the stable or without
running back and forth.
DO not think that the Dairy Farmer
advocates the close proximity Of the
milk house to either the COW stable OF
the hog house If the very best Of pre-
cautions are not used to prevent con
terminating the m!,,: and c:com Xitb
doors common to these buildings. But
II proper measures are taken the
buildings may be conveniently arrang.
ed. This is done in very many of the
best farm plants, but it is not to be
recommended Unfortunately. for too
often the help becomes careless Of
those little precautions that prevent
contamination Of the product from
outside sources. But If the milk house
is properly arranged. so the milk can
be taken from the COW barn and the
skimmilk delivered directly to the 9TH
er barns and the cream put away care
fully where it will be free from any
odors or influences that would cause
it to deteriorate, there can be a great
economy of work about the barns.
Frequently one finds the farmer in
feeding his cattle carrying the feed
back and forth over the same path
when the feed rooms could be 50 ar.
ranged that one process would answer
the purpose better. Just bear few
Of these things in mind when you are
rearranging your farm. When you are
getting the stables and the feed room
ready to handle the herd during the
winter Just see If there isn't some lit
tie simple way in which you can
change things so as to economize on
the work that will be done during the
winter. Remember that one or two
minutes saved each day amounts to
considerable during the year. not only
in time, but in labor and effort. It Is
these little conveniences. these little
attentions to detail. that make farm
work easier and relieve it Of the drudg.
cry and that put it on a plane above
the manual labor to which so many
are prone to relegate it. Just remem
Der few of these hints and adapt
them to your needs. It Is not the In
tention to make any hard and fast
rules, because every farmstead has Its
own problems of management to meet
and they can be met only by TIE mer

Just what these conditions are.

Producers of tubers may be divided
into two classes: 1) Potato breed

No doubt nntato breeders have al.
ready been giving attention to the Sc

These hills will be depended upon by

HOG CHOLERA SERUM PLANT
Why Orders Received at Bookings
Could Not Be Filled.

The Experiment Station at Brook
ings has received many requests dur
ing the past month in regard to Sc
curing hog cholera serum. For the
information of the people, the ex-
pertinent station is not manufactur-
ing hog cholera serum. The rules
of the federal department Of agricul-
ture, under which the station money
is expended, will not permit of police
duty in the state. Experiments have
been conducted with the serum by
the station. and others will be con-
Quoted this fall. The station published
Bulletin No. 1873, which tells all about
the disease, symptoms, treatment,
etc. This bulletin is free on applica-
ton to the director of the station at
Brookings.
The last legislature made an appro-
priation of $4,000 for the manufacture
of hog cholera serum at the state in
stitution. The college was unfortu-
nate in losing its veterinarian, hence
a little delay in the manufacture OF
the serum. However, his successor in.
forms me that the serum is now
ready for distribution. Requests for
this serum will be filed in order.
South Dakota ought to have a
laboratory where all the different
kinds of serum could be made at the
expense Of the state and sold to the
people at cost. This will come about
in time.
Some criticism has been made Of
the station throughout the state be-
cause it did not make this serum for
the people, hence this explanation.
The station is not negligent, and In
this connection I might state that no
experiment station in the United
States uses the federal funds for the
making and distribution Of hog chol-
era serum.-Professor James W. VIII.
son, Director Of Experiment Station.
