THE AGRICULTURAL COLL

The new catalogue of the state
agricultural college and school of
science, at Pullman, for the year
1886 is now in the hands Of the
state printer and shows some very

work is concerned. There have
been enrolled during the year 305
students, the following counties of
Washington being represented:
Adams, Asotin, Columbia, Clark,
Garfield, Island, Jefferson, King,

Ore has been milled during the
past winter from the Gilt-edge, Ban
ner Gold Bug, Keystone, Elkhorn,
Oyerlander, Ozark, ST. Charles and

formly satisfactory.
Patsy Clark, the Montana mil

One of the most important dis

economic trend that is given to the
work. The following departments
are offered: Mathematics, civil en-
glneering, mining engineering,
chemistry, botany, zoology, agricul-
ture, horticulture, English language
and literature, economic science
and history, modern languages in
GLIDING German, French and Span
ish, and the mechanical engineer
ing courses, including mill, steam,
hydraulid and electrical engineer
ing.
Any of the above may be taken
as a major, which is pursued dur
ing the entire four years of the coll
eye covrse, the rest of the students
work being made up partly of re-
! quired and partly of elective stud
les.
There are two members of the
faculty for each of the following de-
partments, viz: Chemistry, botany
and zoology, civil engineering, me-
chanical engineering and English
literature. The course in mining
engineering, which has been some
what improved, is in charge Of the
civil and mechanical engineering
and chemistry departments. The
$4,000 plant of the mechanical de-
partment, and the extensive chem
zeal la laboratory, afford fine oppor-
tunlties for the development Of the
mining engineering classes.
The courses in agriculture and
horticulture aim at liberal edu-
cation in which these subjects and
the sciences upon which they are
based are made the foundation of
the work.
The other work the institution
is arranging in this order: The
school of farming, the school of
dairying, the school Of pharmacy,
the school Of veterinary science, the
the school of business, the prepar.
atory school. In all these the
courses are shorter, and, with the
exception of the preparatory school,
have not so much an educational
aim as a training for the objects in
Dictated by their respective names.
The school Of pharmacy, which
is rather a revival than a new es-
Enlistment of the work, presents a
very thorough and rather heavy
two years course in that line. The
school of farming aims at giving a
two years practical training in
agriculture and horticulture to the
bows who come from the farm with
common school education, and
after brief time go back to the
farm for their life work. They hav-
practical lessons in grating, prune
ing, planting, stock breeding and
feeding, dairying, etc, which are
an invaluable aid to successful
farming.
The school of dairying teaches
practical and scientific dairying.
These shorter courses emphasize
the industrial aim of the institu-
ton, while the longer courses illus
trate the application of higher edu-
cation to industrial subjects.
The scope Of the institution is
broad and it's foundation has been
laid upon the most liberal prin-
ciples, if we may judge from the
catalogue. 1t is undoubtedly des-
tined to great sphere of useful
ness in the DEVELOPMENT of the
