AGRICULTURE. f | 1 HE time has come when a farmer, to be successful, should have scientific training. The Department of Agriculture gives a thoroughly practical and scientific training in all branches of agriculture. The Department of Agri¬ culture is divided into four separate courses, as follows: Agronomy, Horticul¬ ture, Animal Husbandry, and a Teacher’s Course. The course in Agronomy teaches work in soils, farm management, machin¬ ery, crops, dairy farming, and creamery management. The Horticultural Department teaches with two purposes; one to develop scientific horticulture, and the other to turn out practical fruit and truck growers. Special attention is given to fruit growing. The Animal Husbandry Department teaches mainly the judging, breeding and feeding of live stock. Veterinary Science is an important study in this de¬ partment. A department for the training of teachers in agriculture has been added to supply the demand for teachers caused by recent laws passed by the Legislature requiring Elementary Agriculture to be taught in public and normal schools. Instruction in Biology, Entomology, Agricultural Journalism, English Lan¬ guage, History, Mathematics and spe¬ cial instruction in the sciences is given, making the graduate of this course thoroughly educated. A Department of Agricultural Ex¬ tension and a two weeks’ Winter Course has been established for the purpose of extending the benefits of the College to people engaged in agri¬ cultural pursuits, but not able to take a regular course. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiNimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiij hi llllllmllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll ll ' ■l |IIIIUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII,IUIIIIIIIIIIIIUIlUlll ' 17
