been published descriptive of this
course and Is now being circulated
among prospective students.
Already there is a keen demand
for this literature and indications
point to large attendance for this
new course. There will also be off
cred during the winter term, a short
course in farm husbandry including
very practical courses in live stock
work, such as animal diseases, feed
ing, stock judging. milk testing and
dairying, and also several courses in
farm crops and soils. A large amount
of fine stock and equipment makes 1t
possible to give strong courses in all
of these subjects. These twelve
weeks are designed for young men
who can not take the full three
years course. To be of greater SER
vice and reach out into a larger
field SO that more young people may
receive the advantages Of the Farm
School, these courses have been in
troduced. Two new faculty members
who have been very successful in
similar work in the North Dakota
College of Agriculture will have sup

courses.

Farmers Told to Salt Corn

Minnesota farmers may have saved
thousands of bushels of soft corn
this winter if the method explained
below is feasible and works alright.
This method has been tried success
fully in Illinois and Iowa, where
large quantities of soft corn were
husked this fall, and reports from
there are that it works fine. Several
farmers living near Marshall have re-
ceived advice from their old neigh
bors in Illinois about sailing the
corn and they consider it very re-
liable. The Farm Advisor Of La
Sale county, ILL.,, also recommends
this method.
About one barrel of salt is used to
each 1000 bushels of corn. The salt
causes the moisture to condense on
the outside of the ears, but no heat,
ing takes place. On some very wet
ears a little mold may grow on the
outside, but there is no heating
burning, ~or turning black.
This method, of saving the corn
was used in 1881 and several farm
ers used it in 1915 and many viii
use it now.
Harry A. Wheeler, Federal FooG
Administrator for Illinois, looks fav'
orably on the plan of sailing the
corn and James A. Larson, assistant
secretary of state of Minnesota, alst
recommends the method.

Seven Millions Loaned to Farmers


The Federal Farm Loan Board an
nounces that during the month OF
October, the IL Federal land banks
paid out to farmers Of the United
States in S per cent loans under the
Federal Farm Loan System $7,S74,-
044. This was practically double
the amount paid out. during the pre-
vious month and indicates that the
process of making loans through the
Federal land banks is being speeded
up materially. The total amount
now paid out to farmers is $21,040,-
1873. 1t is fully expected that from
now on more than $S,000,000 will
be paid out each month.
During October the IL Federal
land banks received applications for
loans amounting to $27,416,463, and
approved loans amounting to $780,
119,240. This brings the total ap-
plications for loans in the hands of
the IL Federal land banks up to a
grand total of $193,250,945. This
represents the applications only of
organized farm loan associations.
totaling approximately 5000, one
half of which have actually been
chartered and the other half OF
which awaits action by the Federal
land banks. In addition the Federal
land banks estimate that there are
approximately 1000 other farm
associations being organized in the
United States, which, when their
applications are filled, will bring the
grand total of applications to nearly
double the present amount.
The applications in Minnesota
amount to $4,77S,50O and the loans
closed to $694,900. .. -

Courses in Traction Engineering

Courses in Traction Engineering
Superintendent Miller has an
nounced several new courses in farm
engineering which will make up a
special winter course to be given
from January z to April 1. The
enormous demand for tractor oper-
ators as well as men qualified with
knowledge of steam engineering,
electricity and farm mechanics has
made this course a necessity. The
course will include the following
subjects: Gas engines and tractor
practice, steam engines and steam
practice, electricity with laboratory
practice, woedshop, forge shop, farm
lstructures, and farm mechanics. The
men taking this special course will
also be given instruction in business
English, practical arithmetic and
spelling.
The Farm School is admirably
equipped to offer special work in
these courses. The new engineering
building with a large amount of
machinery on the demonstration
| floor, modern and well equipped
woodshop, forge shop and engine
room, together with the drafting
room and especially equipped labor
atories, makes it possible to do the
very best of work in these subjects
A large number of standard makes
of farm tractors will be available for
student practice. A smoke stack is
being built in the engine room in
order that the work with steam en-
gines may also be handled in the
very best manner. This work in.
! cludes practice in running engines
setting values, putting in fiues, de.
termining brake and boiler horse
power, belt lacing, babbitting, etc
The work with gas engines includes
exercises in operation, valve timing
and ignition, trouble exercises, bat
tery testing, adjustment of carburet-
err and other necessary operations
