The importance of the study of the science of agriculture lies in the fact that it embraces so many of the other sciences. To understand the relation of these to field culture it is neces- sary to make a continued study of them, until they are partially masteredg then when their relation to farming is -evident, they may be ipplied. In order that the student may get a good hold on these allied sciences, the Agricul- tural course for the first two yearsis very similar to the General Science course. The third and fourth years are reserved for specialization. So short a time does not allow the student to master all the lines of farm work, so the train- ing offered gives an opportunity for definite study in any chosen line. To some, Agronomy offers the largest field, while others see more in Animal Husbandry. Our Horticulture depart- ment is developed until it is second to none. 1'he Dairy course also is gaining rapidly in popularity. The Veterinary department sup- plements both the Animal Husbandry and the Dairy course. The object of this department is two-fold: to train men to do the regular farm work more intelligently, and to fit others to carry on experi- mental work. ln all parts of the world there is an imperative demand for trained teachers in agricul- ture, so for this reason many of the ripper class- men in this course are planning for the teaching profession rather than on using their knowledge If 1 f x is 1 M W li i l D A L V. it K, - vrtll U QQ 4 l if .
