AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
For Dairymen. Orchardists. and
Farmers-Held In
January.

Subjoined Is the announcement for
the Short Course in Agriculture and
Special Dairy Course that is to be
given in January at the Oregon State
Agricultural College. This course is
especially designated for farmers, who
wish to gain practical knowledge OF
dairying, horticulture and soil chem
istry and other special features that
are essential to successful work on
the farm. There are farmer boys, not
afflicted with the mania for getting a
86 clerkship in town, who desire to
become modern, up-io-date farmers
able TO make the farm pay good
profits and to have country life not
the hermit existence aud dull drud-
gerry that it so commonly is, who
would be greatly benefited by at
tendance at this short course. Such
boys would gain more knowledge OF
practical use to them in the two
weeks in agriculture or the six weeks
In dairying than they could gain in a
whole years reading from the best
textbooks
The expense of taking these short
courses at the Agricultural College is
very small. and it would be the best
investment that Rogue River farmer
could make to go himself, or send his
son, to Corvallis and gain the praoti
cal ideas that are enabling the modern
farmer to make his farm pay better
dividend than does the average town
investment.
