V 0 , , Q KLI The Division of Animal Husbandry 'LL . . . Ill ERMANENTLY successful and profitable farming in Minnesota requires the main- ly I Y tenance of farm livestock on nearly every farm. This is true because the soil lx and climate of Minnesota favor particularly the growing of those crops known as feed crops. These crops are all utilized and marketed to best advantage and with greatest profit when fed to some form of livestock. Because of the importance of the Jypfl fl livestock industry within the state, it is essential that young men training themselves to I5'iI - follow the business of farming secure training in the various phases of livestock pro- duction and marketing. The courses of study in Animal Husbandry offered in the 4 School of Agriculture have been developed with the purpose in mind that the informa- ll rp f tion secured from them by students may be put into direct practical application in the I operation of a livestock farm. The courses taught cover such subjects as the selecting, XII buying and selling of commercial grades of livestock and purebred animals of the im- portant pure breeds. Methods involved in the improvement of animals through breed- gig II - . . . . jf' I mg, and the most successful and profitable practices in feeding farm animals for economy I ', 1 I and profit are taught in the courses in livestock breeding and livestock feeding. Suc- Wil cessful methods of management for various types of livestock farms and the demands lrjli of the market are taught in the courses in livestock management and meats.

The Division of Agricultural Engineering HE development of American industry has been largely due to the accumula- illxtion of data and knowledge of nature's forces and materials which has enabled engineers to plan and construct buildings as well as special machinery adapted to use forms of power other than human. In recent years the use of such power and machinery has been extended to agriculture and it has helped to create an overproduc- tion of agricultural products. This no doubt is a blessing in disguise and it should not lead to a depression, neither should it result in a non-employment situation or a low wage scale. To avoid such a calamity sincere effort should be made to Hnd types of employ- ment in which a worker can command a wage commensurate with his skill and ability. This should lead to the building of more and better rural homes equipped with modern conveniences to make farm and home work more enjoyable. In the search for em- ployment for human hands, what can be found that will add more to human happi- ness than the improvement of our rural communities, the manufacturing of labor sav- ing devices, and the building and proper equipping of our homes, our churches and our schools? The School of Agriculture is keeping pace with this development by offer- ing such courses as Drawing, Farm Buildings, Farm Implements, Gas Engines, House- hold Physics, and Mechanical Training. ,,..- . --.... , ..

T . . , if' X The Division of Poultry Husbandry 6 , at 6' HE popularity of poultry raising seemingly is on the increase. This, no doubt, 4 A is the result of the tremendous monetar value of total poultr roducts. The Q R , Y Y P ,X y Nil poultry industry draws enthusiasts from all classes of people. Especially is this li l gl true of the farm school student body. In the Central S. A. U. M., approximately two 'YXW hundred and fifty to three hundred students annually register in poultry courses deal- 1157, 4 1 U ing with several phases of the subject. Among the large enrollment the greatest number 6 l lui elect the general course which offers them the practical side of housing, feeding, and w ' I ' a fl management of the laying flock. Others continue and receive instruction in incubation ii and brooding of chicks. Still others, who are vitally interested in the possibilities of Q the poultry business as a possible source of livelihood, study the judging and selection P of fowls for exhibition and economic ualities. The also learn the latest methods ll q Y 4 I 1 of killing and dressing applied to the various market classes of domestic fowls. Each Sli i l . ' ll of these courses is intended to give the student a practical viewpoint so that he may id ppl! go back to his home, put in practice the knowledge he has acquired, and derive greater YQ profit and more pleasure from his poultry flock. It is the practical side which is stressed. ' ' The theoretical is mentioned only when it facilitates the understanding of the practical. Q ' 1 l ' ! W U ' , . I .
