A SPLENDID OPPORTUNITY.

Tie winter course of lectures, to be
given at the Agricultural College at
Logan. ought to attract large number
of our young men and women. We have
already published the college circular
relating to this matter The course
viii insist of ten weeks tuition in the
art and science of agriculture, and in
the domestic arts. 1t will commence
on January and will be free and with
out preliminary examination.
The agricultural lectures will cover
the following subjects: General agricul-
ture and agricultural chemistry, SO
lectures; 80 lectures in horticulture, 10
in entomology, Gin botany, Is in veter-
mary science, and daily lectures on
dairying, or practical exercises in the
dairy rooms. In addition to these lee
lures there will be a special course Of
reading, or the selection as a substi-
tute of some one class in the college.
Under agriculture the subject of til
Iage, of dairying. of stock breeding
stock feeding, irrigation, manuring.
ETC., will be considered, while under
entomology the lectures will be devoted
entirely to insects injurious TO farm
crops, their life, history and means Of
exterminating them.
The college has now very COM
plete dairy department, well organ
lied and in the hands of an expert
The lectures will survey the science of
dairying, while exercises viii be taken
in the dairy rooms in butter making,
and, if there is a demand for it, in
cheese making. Special attention is in
vited to this course, as Utah is buying
large amounts of it's finest grade of
butter from the east. The making of
the best grades Of butter is the most
profitable branch of farming that is
open to Utah farmers.
The dairy covers an area of 81 feet
by IS feet, and is equipped with hand
and power churns, butter workers. with
the centrifugal cheese watts, the Bah
cock milk tester and all other neces-
sary appliances.
Fifty lectures will be given in cook
ing. so exercises in cutting. sewing and
fancy work, 20. lectures in hygiene, 20
lectures in household chemistry, 10 lee
lures on the farm garden; a. few les
sons will be given in household book
keeping. There will also be optional
lectures N dairying and laundry work,
and a course of reading along special
lines.
The lectures on cooking will be ac-
companied by practice in a well or
ganized modern kitchen, accompanied
by table setting and serving. and pre-
siding over dinners. The department
is well equipped with sewing, laundry,
kitchen and dining rooms. These will
be brought into use to illustrate the
lectures. The above lectures will in
cluce not only the art of housekeeping,
but Of entertaining.
We repeat these particulars, which
are set forth in the circular, because
we desire to direct particular atten-
ton to them as we believe this course
Of lectures viii prove highly beneficial,
and that young men and women will
gain therefrom practical information
that will be of value to them all their
lives and also be for the public vel
fare.
This is an opportunity that does not
offer itself everywhere. The cost Will
he nothing. Board can be had at SO
week, and Logan, though a little colder
than locations in the lower valleys, is
a pleasant place to stay in and the sur
roundings are unexceptionsble.
Persons desiring to take the course,
or to obtain further information on the
subject, should address Professor San
born, the President, at Logan without
delay. A two-thirds rate can be Sc
cured for students on the railroad. AL
together we consider this opportunity
one that many should seize with de-
light. and we expect 10 hear that the
winter course at the Agricultural col
lege is attended by a host of intelH-
gent young people.
