BoYs iCookeJQr Idea For PIGS Helps uJin State Prize

Pushed pigs prove profitable
pigs, say the Blue Valley Cream
cry Institute, in recommending
creeps for baby pigs.
Pigs fed in a creep during the
time when they are between four
weeks and eight weeks of age have
the advantage of rapid development
at the earliest age at which they
can be pushed and, at the same
time they pass through the wean-
ing state scarcely noticing the re-
moval of their mother. Baby pigs
will begin to eat ground grain and
drink skimmilk when around three
to four weeks of age and are us
ually weaned when they are eight
to ten weeks of age. It is during
this time they get a good start or
a poor start towards maturity.
Since profitable pork production is
mostly problem in efficient feed
ing for quick growth, creep for
little pigs offers the first chance to
get pigs started on quick growing
feed.
Development of the habit of add
ing full feeds in later life cannot be
started too early. Through the use
of creep, the young pig learns the
feed cafeteria of self-feeder is al
ways open day or night and so gets
the habit of eating and keeps it
self growing continuously. Both of
the last two Maryland pig growing
contests were won by boy who
provided creeps leading into a spec

Long Prairie Girl
Dies In Minneapolis
Was Taken Ill At Terry, Montana
Last NOvember-Funeral Was
Held Friday Morning

AS noted in the Herald last week
Miss Erma Kidding died suddenly
in Minneapolis, Monday, February
"a. afternoon, three hour after hay
ing undergone an operation which
was expected to restore her to
health. Present at the bedside
j. B. Kidding, and a brother, Geo.
Kidding, of Hysham, Montana.
Miss Kidding, accompanied by
her mother, left last week for
Minneapolis for medical examin-
alton and treatment. She was TAX
en- i'll last November at Terry, Mon
tana, where she was employed at
the time, and for a time her con-
dition was critical. She spent some
time in the cities in vain quest for
relief and for the past two months
had been at home with her parents
Mr.. and Mrs. J. B. Kidding.
She was taken to the cities last
week, where physicians reported
that her condition was not serious
and recommended an operation
which was expected to restore her
health. George Kidding, who was
here from Montana, left Monday
for Minneapolis to be present at
the operation and before leaving
stated that his sisters condition
was favorable and that relatives
here had every hope that she
would soon return to the village
definitly improved. Her weakened
condition, however, was unable to
withstand the shock of the operat-
ion and she passed away three
hours later.

THE PESTY CROW

Nimrods who wish to try out
their new guns or do some target
practice should HE themselves to
where the crow is found and shoot
as many of these black pirates as
possible before the spring nesting
period arrives.
Plenty of shooting will be expert
ced and a world of good will be
accomplished towards eliminating
one of the worst pests in existence,
from a conservation standpoint.
Crows will destroy thousands of
game and song bird eggs during
the Matching season, and everyone
shot and killed means one less
winged enemy to cope with.
Our game birds have decreased
alarmingly the past ten or fifteen
years, but the pesty crow seems to
be on the increase throughout the
country. We have paid too much
attention to shooting the game
bird and not enough attention to
shooting the crow.

Magic Power Ascribed

Mirrors In ancient times were
not as nowadays dedicated exclu-

also largely to that of magic.
Their power of rejecting real

Holdingford 21-AIbany 8

Holdingford with two victories
over its rival, Albany, encountered
no difficulty in defeating the AL
bany quint in the final game of the
tournament Friday evening. Com
ing after the whirlwind Bertha
Swanville game, the audience found
it hard to get the interest out of
this game that they might have,
had it been played before the ex-
ira period game of the evening.
Holdingford accounted for only
two points in the first half while
Albany failed to get any counters
of any kind or description.
Albany scored one field goal in
the third period and one free throw
in the last quarter to account for
the three points credited to that
team. Holdingford showed no pow
er in the first half of the game but
in the third, quarter got under way
to score ii points. Substitutions
were made frequently during the
last quarter with the result that
Holdingford was held to five points
it was easily apparent that Albany
at no time in the game after the
first half had an outside chance
to win. The game ended with

Ancient Builders Idea
of Hunor Quite Modern

The builders of the old churches
In England were not so serious but
that they now and then perpe-
trated joke, even in stone. On
more than one of their creations
they carved in relief a scene repre-
senting a monk preaching solemnly
to a flock of geese. The same hui.
morOus spirit is sometimes to be
detected in the domestic architec-
ture of early times.
Just upon the boundaries of Bed
fOrdshire and HertfOrdshire former
ly stood an old rambling farm
house. The living room was long
and low, and on the center beam
that went across the ceiling was
inscribed this legend: IF you are
cold, 60 to HertfOrdshire."
This seemingly inhospitable in.
vitation was explained by the fact
that one-half Of the room was in
one county and one-half in the
other. The fireplace was in Hert.

Chamberlain's insistence that to go
to bed and to come down again
constituted exercise enough for any
man must have been a sore trial to
his doctors.

Although dopted to win, Long

The opening game of the tourna-
NIX saw the Melrose high school
quint take the floor against the
upsala five and from the opening
whistle there was little doubt in
the minds of the audience as TO
which team would finally emerge
victorious. Melrose, keeping sew
eral of the first line boys on the
bench got off to slow start but,
never the less, were able to smass
6 points during the initial quarter
while holding their opponents
scoreless.
Melrose was able to garner Eve
points more during the second
quarter and Upsala forged its way
into the scoring column by annex
ing field goal and two free throws
to score points. The score at the
end of the first half was II to in
favor of Melrose with neither team,
as yet, showing much power. Hoehl,
Zirbes and Kaufman were injected
into the Melrose lineup at the be-
ginning of the second half while
Matson, for Upsala, was substituted
to take the place of K. Nelson, who
was forced to leave the game via
the personal foul route.
The playing of w. johnson, of
Upsala, was clearly a feature Of
the game as far as his team was
concerned. The Upsala attack CEN
tered around him but he proved
himself too fast for his team mates
and single handed was unable to
do much against the height and
guarding of the Melrose team. Mel
rose came into it's own in the sec
ond half of the game scoring II
points in the third quarter and ad-
ding II points to their total of %
in the final quarter to win the
game handily by score of "a to 8.

team in scores counted, amassing

team accounting for points. He
was tied for top honors by his
team mate, E. Johnson, who also
accounted for points. Following is

SWanyille 19-Bertha IL


The most exciting game of the
tournament was played Friday
evening when the Bertha and
Swanville high school quints clash
ed in a game that went an over
time period before the latter came
through for a two point victory. 1t
was hotly contested battle
throughout and these two teams
were by far the most evenly match
ed quipts to take part in the sub
district contest.
From the opening whistle until
the final gun the teams were at no
time more than three points apart
and for most of the game were
deadlocked in ties that were made
as quickly as they were broken.
The first quarter ended with the
score tied 6 to with both teams
displaying unusual power both on
the offensive as well as the de-
fensive. The half ended with the
score 9 to 8 in favor of SwaDville
but the difference between the
two teams was so slight that no
one dared hazard an opinion as to
which team would eventually win
out.
Swanville still maintained one
point lead at the end of the third
quarter although Bertha during
this period succeeded in tying the
score on two occasions. Bertha
forged ahead in the last quarter OF
play to lead their opponents by as
much as three points at one time
but Swanville, nothing daunted,
fought back in a whirlwind fashion
and regained a precarious lead OF
one point with but few seconds
to play. D. Seaver, of Bertha, when
called upon to make good from the
foul line did so to the great salts
faction of the Bertha fans to again
tie the score II to II as the game
ended.
An extra three minute period Of
play was required to break the
tie and F. Super, of Swauville,
with only 20 seconds to go made a
field goal to insure Swanville's first
appearance at district tournament.
The defensive play of F.. Super and
Besemon, of Swanville, who were
ably assisted by K. Smith at center
and the Olson brothers at forwards
who showed unusual offensive
strength, featured the game
throughout. Not to be outdone by
their opponents, Bertha, gave all
it had and led by Foster, Bertha
center, the Seaver boys together
with Bottemiller and Elkjer gave
the fans an exhibition of basket
ball that will long be remembered.
The fans, as general rule, regret
ted that two such strong teams
had to meet and to eliminate one
or the other but such is the history
of tournaments and Swanville, with
the best team in it's history, had
just enough extra power to take
the boys from the north part of
Todd county into camp. Following
is the lineup and summary:
