Short course in Agriculture.

The 1902 0S bulletin descriptive of
the University of Wisconsin short
course in agriculture has just been
issued IN attractive form, with
twenty-five illustrations giving
views of the various buildings,
classes, grounds, and fine stock at
the college Of agriculture. The
work for the new year, which will
begin December z, 1907, and con-
t1nue till March Is, 1908, includes
classes in fifteen different depart
ments of study, under the direction
OF thirty three men in the faculty
OF the agricultural college. The
principle object of the short course
is to give young farmers of limited
time and means an opportunity for
better preparation for their life
work. 1t is therefore planned to
present in two successive winter
terms of fourteen weeks each the
largest amount of information and
practical training possible in SO
short time, without undue crowd
ing. AS the work is given in the
winter, the young men are more
easily spared from the farms, and
can meet together at the college,
gaining not only by their studies
but by their association with one
another and with the faculty, and
by their opportunity of meeting
prominent as riculturalists of Wis
consin and other states.
