This Valuable Department Now Thorough
" Taught at Clemson.

a very interesting feature OF Glenn
son College is the veterinary depart
ment established last spring and III
charge of Dr. w. E. A. Wyman, vet
erinary surgeon, a graduate Of the
University of the State OF New York
and the New York College OF veteri-
nary surgeons. Here the boys are
taught by lectures in the class room
and practical demonstrations in the
operating house how to treat lame and
sick domestica1ed animals as the horse,
the COW, ETC. The regular course ex-
tends over space OF three years, thus
ensuring a thorough practical and
theoretical training. In establishing
the course, three years were deemed
wise as the student otherwise would
only have a limited knowledge of the
foundation Of the fertile farm-name-
ly live stock. The young men are in
structed in the many branches of
making up medicine. For instance,
anatomy is taught in the class room
and in the winter the student is re-
quired to dissect out all the muscles,
arteries, nerves, ETC., of the horse and
other important animals. The many
patients brought to the free clinic
once a week serve as a splendid ex-
ample to bear out the theory taughtin
the class room. All the necessary ap-
pliances and instruments to cast and
to operate animals are kept.
DR.. W. E. A. Wyman strives to exc
cute all operations with as few instru
ments as possible to teach the student
to get along with as inexpensive an
outfit as compatible with modern sur
gerry. Of course the main stress is
laid upon such operations as the fu-
ture educated agriculturist is most liza.
bic to come across, as caStration, spay-
ing, treatment of fstulae and espe
cially lameness. The operating house
is commodius structure with stalls
to keep patients in order to demon
strate bandaging. treatment of wounds
and of giving medicine. a pharmacy
is attached, we'll equipped with all
drugs used for the cure of disease or
preservation Of health of the domestl-
Gated animals. Here the student Is
instructed how to compound prescrip
tlons and acquaint himself with the
crude drugs and their preparations.
Ia the winter the student works on
the cadaver and studies in the dissect
ing room the parts mainl y concerned
in operations.
A blacksmith shop will be added to
the operating house and the student
under the guidance OF DR.. w. E. a.
Wyman will learn how to shoe the
horse and mule properly; how to cor
rect faulty gait, as interfering, forg-
ing, etc. how to shoe for diseased
conditions, as founder, quarter crack,
corns, etc. The lectures in the class
room are supplemented by charts,
drawings, separate models, as the foot
of the horse, the brain, the udder, the
foetus, the heart, etc.
Special inducements are extended to
anybody wishing to devote all his
time to the study of veterinary scisnce
under DR.. ". =, 4. Wyman. The
veterinary department of the South
Carolina Experiment Station has
finely equipped laboratory for investi
CATION Of contagious and infectious
diseases. Here the micro organisms
producing the diseases are cultivated
and studied. New growth removed
from the animals body by operations
or otherwise is examined, whether of
benignant of malignant type, IS
cancer for instance. Milk is tested for
tuberculosis: Parasites found without
or within the animal are classified and
advice given as TO the best means Of
destroying them Outbreaks of infec
tious and contagious diseases amongst
domesticated animals are investigated
and advice given how to stop the fur
ther spread Of them.
