D l .fbi The Dlvlslon of Dairy Husbandry l ei lb I fl HE Division of Dairy Husbandry is devoted to the service of dairying through l teaching, research, and extension. The staff recognizes a real opportunity in I teaching in the School of Agriculture. A most serious effort is extended in of- :K l -X i . . . . . . - - . fering a Well rounded curriculum covering the dairy field. This curriculum is designed g to give the student training in the fundamentals of dairy farming and a fund of knowl- if edge that with reasonable application on his part should fit him to make larger contribu- i K ml . . . 1 tions to the dairy industry of the state. l O .V The Dairy Division recognizes and appreciates the seriousness of purpose on the . . 1 i ETX ix part of the school students. As a result it extends further effort to improve its 5 offerings. It is a source of gratification and pride to the dairy staif to learn of former 'fig students in the School of Agriculture leading in dairy enterprises of all kinds. Their 2 ' NXJ .A i leadership is exemplary and far reaching in dairy development in the state. As time goes on and larger numbers are graduated we are looking for even larger influences from the School of Agriculture. In such hands the dairy industry has a bright future. li? Fw, 2.

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 .

The Dlvlslon of Veterinary Medlclne . l - . . . l X HE work of the Division of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Minne- 1 X ' sota, is largely in the field of research. Instruction, however, is given in both ' Q the College and School of Agriculture. Instruction in the School of Agricul- l 5 1 ture consists of lectures and recitations in physiology, both human and animal. In- ,, If-4 5 .u . ,gd 0 l 'Vg W lf S, D I0 4 l struction is also given to students in the School of Agriculture, concerning the causes and prevention of infectious diseases of livestock, as well as other disease conditions which are not infectious. These classes are conducted primarily to give the student the necessary information, and to enable him to keep his animals as free from disease as possible. The trend of modern medicine is largely for prevention and the work of this department stresses this phase. A diagnosis laboratory is maintained in conjunction with the Minnesota State Livestock Sanitary Board. Here diseased livestock specimens are examined from all over the state. Last year more than 78,000 specimens were diagnosed in this laboratory. The research problems that are being studied at the present time are in connection l v A Q 4 V A .0 TV 2 E with the control of bovine infectious abortion or Bang's disease. Work is also in progress to determine the causes and prevention of the diseases of little pigs, with especial ,kwl reference to anemia of pigs. There are also under way studies on diseases of poultry and other farm animals. l l iw' Page Thirty-ihree
