The accompanying illustration shows
ture on corn by Professor G. P. Bull of
University Farm. Special attention will
be given to this subject again during
the short course which lasts one month
beginning Jan. 20, 1913. At this time
Professor Bull will be assisted by NJ.
L. Bowman, joint author of Corn"
Another special lecturer expected is
Professor G. G. Hopkins of the Uni
versity of Illinois, who will lecture on
soil fertility. Professor Hopkins was
born and reared in Minnesota and is
therefore familiar with it's conditions.
NJ. L. King, who gave the country two
new types of silos, is expected to lead
the siio discussion, while Fl. G. Van
Pelt, an author and teacher of note,
formerly at the College Of Agriculture
at Ames, Ia, will lecture on types of
dairy cattle. G. l.. Carlson of NebFas-
ka, who aroused SO much interest in
horse breeding at the short course last
year, is expected again.
Unjust not be inferred from the pres
entation of special features that the
general field Of agriculture will not be
Systematically covered. Systematic in
struction along all agricultural lines
of general interest will be given by the
Institutional fierce Of the. College OF
Agriculture at University Farm, st.
Paul. There are no entrance require
ments except the payment of the very
small fee of SIS. A large number of
representative farmers are expected.
In former years, women as we'll rs men
have enrolled for the course and young
and old have benefited alike by its
teachings. The fact that most of the
members Of the classes are expert
enced farmers Of a considerable de-
gree of maturity makes it possible to
cover large field in short time.

A practical method for killing and

by most butchers and small packers
No feed or water is given for at least

is held in the left hand and narrow
double bladed knife is inserted in the
neck. just back of the head and near

sible. The skin Of the neck should
wound The bird is then thrown into
barrel to bleed and the process re-

killed. The birds are scalded in the
usual way. but if they are to be
shipped do not allow the head or
shanks to get into the hot water. As
soon as they are picked, the birds
should be put into simmering water
for ten seconds. then plunged into
