DAIRY .scHool OPENS SOON
State College Gives Comprehensive
instructions in Butter Making
and Farming.

Announcement is made of the open
ing of the eleventh annual session of
the Dairy school at the State COL
lege of Washington, beginning Janu-
airy Z, 1907. This popular school has
always been we'll attended and under
the arrangements for the coming ses-
sion those purposing to attend will
find it of unusual value.
While the original idea of the Dairy
creamery manufacturers, it must not
be understood that these are the only
objects in view. The school, as plan
ned for 1907, contemplates special
work for dairymen. 1t is recognized
that at the foundation of successful
dairying must be found a clear idea
of dairy farming. Accordingly, spec
ial effort will be made to give prac-
teal instruction in the management of
dairy farms This will include the
handling and care of stock and also
the many phases of milk production as
they are presented in Washington.
The instruction given the creamery
men and cheese makers will be as
complete as before, and it is hoped
that with enlarged facilities both in
equipment and teaching force an in
creased number of students will take
advantage of the opportunities offered.
Circulars giving full information will
be gladly sent on application, and
correspondence with all who may be
contemplating attending is desired.
Address all inquiries to F. F. Nader,
Registrar, or to E. E. Elliott, profess
sor of agriculture.
