FARMERS'
COUNTY
UNION AND
AGENTS
Evidently the Farmers' Union feels
about the county agent as uo
those who have demonstration work
in charge, for no better statement
of the qualifications of agents and
administration of their work as con
ducted in Nebraska could be given
than the following resolution passed
at the National Convention of Farm
ers' Educational Union recently held
at Lincoln, Nebraska:
"We welcome the farm bureau or
demonstration agent sent to us by
the United States government. We
need the assistance of his scientific
knowledpce. But we feel that to be
of most heln to the farmers he
should combine both the scientific
and practical side of agriculture.
That is, after taking the college
course lie should make good on the
farm by applying to it his scientific
knowledge before going out as a
teacher of agriculture or farm ad
viser. "We further recommend that the
Question of demonstration agents or
farm advisers be left to the farmers
of each state dr county as to wheth
er they shall have such agents. We
further recommend that the farm
ers of each county shall have the
power to Belect the agent for their
county."
OFFER rbULTKY INSTRUCTION
Courses in poultry husbandry are
soon to be offered at the University
Farm. The courses of instruction
are now being organized, and poul
try houses are being built on the
farm incident to laboratory work.
The first course in poultry husban
dry will be offered at the regular
winter short course of the College of
Agriculture and during the xecond
half of the year's work of the SclwoJ
of Agriculture.
With the establishment of this
work, the Extension Service announ
ces that it will now be able to sched
ule dates for poultry lectures and
judging demonstrations over the
state. Local organizations wishing
more information as to how such a
meeting may be held are invited to
correspond with the Extension Ser
vice of the College of Agriculture,
University Farm.
SELECTING PULLETS
November is the time to select the
best pullets and breeders for next
spring. They should be laying this
month. It is the early layer that.
when once at it, keeps at it all wint
er. The pullet that win not lay in
moderate weather certainly cannot
be expected to do much in January.
Select only well-matured pullets.
Your house is too small to allow
room for runts. They are suscepti
ble to disease and are bound to be
star boarders. Strong, healthy
stock produces eggs that hatch, and
with proper feed, care, and comfort
able housing will lay in spite of the
cold. Poultry Husbandry, College

MOLDY FEED DANGEROUS
Horses ure very susceptible to
mold poison, and great care should
bo riven to their grain feed as the
past summer has been very favora
ble for the development of molds,
oanppinllv In oats. Some forms jf
mold acts auickly an in a similar i
way to ptomaine poisoning in the
human family, while others require
a considerable period of feeding to
.imlnn thn BvmntomB. There has
.already been considerable loss this
jfall from this trouble. -Denartment

CARE OF THE CARPET SWEEPER
Do not allow the carpet sweeper

FALL I1EST FOR CALVING
It is a rather common practice to
have cows calve in the spring, yet
this is not usually the best time. It
is a fact that a calf born in the fall
will usually get a better start in life
than one born in the spring. bulle
