SIX MONTHS COURSE IN DAIRY.
ING

'eTSlty u lQano now O1IerS 6lA
months course in dairying to give q
practical working knowledge of mod
ern dairy methods to those who dc
not feel that they can spend foul
years to take the regular dairy cours'
or who can not come to the entrance
requirements for the four year 4
course.
A common school education Is all
that is required for entrance to this
six months course which opens In
October and closes in March. Students
having had some high school work OF
having had some practical experience
in some line Of dairy work will az
a rule get more good out of the course
than the new beginner. Arrangements
will be made so that those who are
qualified may have more advanced
work than the beginner. Those who
enter this course must be at least
eighteen years OF age.
The object of the course is to train
men for some special line OF dairy
work which they would like to fol-
low later. Or the student may take
a general course In dairy manufacture
ing and milk production. Better re
suits are usually obtained, however,
when the student specializes either
in creamery or dairy farm work.
In the creamery work the following
are the main subjects taught. Test
ing, butter-making, dairy engineering,
ice cream-making, factory manage
ment, and dairy bacteriology. In the
farm dairy work the student receives
instruction in milk production and
some veterinary science SO that they
may know how to care for and man.
age dairy herd.
The University Creamery, as well
as the dairy farm, afford excellent
opportunities for the student to Sc
cure some practical experience along
with the studies SO that he may have
an opportunity to put into practice
some of the things which are taught
In the class room.
The ever growing demand for men
trained In the science and practice
Of dairy work affords excellent op.
portunities for employment at good
salaries to those who complete the
six months course. The dairy bust
ness in Idaho is growing rapidly as
Is evidenced by the large number OF
in from The east. Along with this
increase in the dairy business OF the
state will come an increased demand
for men especially trained to carry
on the dairy work.
This course coming as 1t does at a
season when there Is comparatively
little to do on the farm, need not
take much valuable time from the
farm work. Those interested in this
course should write at once for a re-
cent circular which gives more de-
tails regarding it.

Clean Seed In Demand
During the past spring and winter
seedmen throughout the state have
found it difficult to locate pure seed
According to the State Pure Seed
Law they are required to show a
purity test on all seed sold within
the state of not more than one nox
ious weed in ten thousand seeds Of
the seed on sale. The noxious
weeds are defined In the seed law
and include mustard of all special
ties, alfalfa and clover dodders,-
love-yine as 1t Is sometimes called, -
buckhorn or plaintain and severa
others which are not so common.
Now is the time to clean seet
grainb efore the weeds mature. Some
of the weeds are nearly the diamete
of our grains, making 1t impossible
to screen them. The weeds can d.
pulled at this period and seed crop
that ordinarily would be unsaleaDl
under the Pure Seed Act can b
cleaned t. pass Inspection by a FEY
hou labor with a s,sthc hoe, Q
pull 4, by hand.
The office Of Seed Commissions
State Capitol, Boise, receives man
inquiries regarding location OF pur
seed from farmers desiring to pu
chase the same. Farmers who WI
pull the mustard, plaintain. dodder
other weeds from their seed field
will now confer favor upon then
selves and upon the prospective pu
chasers by sending in their name
giving acreage and kind Of seed.
