THE DIVISION OF DAIRY HUSBANDRY VER a million and a half cows are at work every day in Minnesota and by ' th tim tl . e' nino' m'lk' fr don ne rl ' half million dollars has been wif! e e IC we C, 1 mais e a 3 a ha contributed to the income of 150,000 farmers in the state. The general pur- pose of the Division of Dairy Husbandry is to serve the interests of this great in- dustry in every way possible. In carrying on these duties the Dairy Division deals with two quite distinct lines of work. One is a farm activity and the other a manufac- turing problem. The first is that of getting the most milk with the least feed and work. the second how to utilize the milk to thc best advantage after the cow has been pur- suaded to let us have it. Students in the School of Agriculture are interested in both of these lines of work but most directly concerned with the problems of economical production. The purpose of the course known as Farm Dairying is to teach the important facts about milkg how to apply the Babcock testg its composition. food value, and how to produce and market milk and cream under sanitary conditions. The leadership of former students of the School of Agriculture in all dairy enterprises of the state is a source of pride to the Dairy Division. Many of the leading breeders of purebred cattle, numerous Creamery secretaries, and the leading men in dairy lines in almost every neighborhood of the state speak with pride of their school days at University Farm.
