souri, State Univerrlty has made its
announcement of short winter course
in agriculture, animal husbandry, hor-
ticulture and dairying.
The course will open December 80
and close March 81. 1t is designed
to meet the needs of farmers sons

longer courses which extend over a
period of several years. Many farm
ers' sons and young farmers desire to
prepare themselves to become more
skillful farmers, stockmen, dairymen
or orchardlsts. The instruction is in
everything practical, having in view
especially The needs of men who must
Immediately turn to practical account
the facts learned in the classroom.
Each year the school receives calls
for young men who are properly train
ed to take charge of stock farms, dali
ries, creameries and orchard planta-
tions. Thus far the supply OF men has
not been equal to the demand. The
courses are designed to prepare young
men for these positions and are given
entirely free Of charge The only pay
s. and a small deposit to cover the
cost of brcakage in laboratory work.
No examinations are required, it being
only necessary that the students be
more than 1G years old.
Tho Missouri Agricultural College
has maintained courses of practical
instruction for farmers, dairymen,
stockmen. etc. for years. The attend
ance has grown steadily and the facil-
tiles for instruction have been rapidly
improved to the present day. Special
lists in every department have been in
stalled and thoroughly trained men of
fer to the students the best knowledge
In every branch of farming. No other
year in the history of the college has
seen so many improvements as the
present one.
Aside from all these. the student is
given course in bookkeeping, black
smithing and carpentry, of which cv-
cry farmer should know something.
Supplementary to the agricultural
course is the one in animal husbandry,
I'm which the student is given instruc-
tion in breeding, feeding. stock judg-
ing, veterinary science and poultry
farming.
A new horticultural building has
been completed for the work in hor-
ticulture and botany. 1t Is said to be
the finest of its kind in the country. 1t
will be finely equipped and offers eX-
cellent facilities for work.
A course in landscape gardening has
proved very popular and many stud
cnts take advantage of it.
