5. Farmers Week, Feb. IA to 10Th. !
The winter courses are business and
not academic courses, hence no stan
ard of entrance requirements is insist
ed upon, save that each student shall
spossess good common school educa-
ton. The registration in the course
of Home Economics, which will natu-
rally appeal to women only, is neces-
sarily limited to t:elve. The winter
courses are an evolution from the
dairy school the first session of
which was held in 1891. Less stress
will be laid than hitherto upon cream
cry work and more stress upon farm
dairy work and upon general agricul-
tural instruction. The expense of at.
tendance is small outside of the neces-
sary cost of board and lodging. The
entire cost of four weeks session
need not exceed thirty dollars.
