SPKCUL, TEIIM OF SCHOOL Every boy and girl who was unable to attend school this fall and who would find it necessary to leave school early in the spring should write to the School of Agriculture, Lincoln, Neb., for particulars re garding the special term which will open December 3.

Prac tically ali general courses will be of fered the same as the bomnnintr nf uie regular school year. Among the agricultural courses to be ofFered in both the college and school of agriculture are farm man agement, dairying, horticulture, poultry husbandry, diseases of farm animals, live stock judr 1g, soils and fertilizers, blacksmithin. and carpen try. Manv innuirps am hoinrr ro. Lceived and those planning to attend should notity the Registrar of the University or the Principal of the School of Agriculture at once.' FATTENING POULTRY FOR MARKET The season of greatest demand for market poultry is approaching. Most of the market poultry on the Nebraska farms and town lots can be profitably fattened if good rations are fed and the stock is handled in the right way, according to the poul try department of College of Agri culture. A grain ration of GO per cent finely ground corn meal and 40 per cent shorts, moistened with but termilk or skim milk to a mortar like consistency, makes a very pala table and highly digestible ration. Full feeds should not be given at first but each feed should be increas ed until on the third day the birds are getting all they can eat in a twenty-minute feeding period, mornintr. noon and niirht. Best. m. ults are secured when the birds are uiauuium iu a crate or a sman yard. WINTER BEES Preparations should be made now for winter bees, according to the department of entomology of the College of Agriculture. The tem perature of the hives should be kept at about 57 degrees. If the temper ature is below that the bees will spend their energy keeping warm, while if it is very much above they will fly from the hives. With a tem perature of around 57 degrees, the bees remain in almost a dormant con dition, thereby saving their energy for spring. If wintering out of doors is con templated a good plan is to place each hive within a box about six inches greater in its dimensions than the hive, and fill the intervening snace with sawdust or lnavna. A small tunnel should be lef for an en trance to the hive. The entrance should also be kept free from ice so as not to suffocate the bees. VACCINATE AGAINST BLACKLEG Now is the timn tn vnnmnntn acrainst blackleir. according to thn department of animal pathology of the College of Agriculture. Cattle up to two years of age are suscepti ble and vaccination should be done twice a vear. The irovernment vac cine is supplied free of charge thru the University and there is really no excuse for large losses from the dis eases.
