agone Woods had been proud of the
splendid steed that had done double

SCHOOL FOR DAIRY
AND MEN
Missouri College of Agriculture
Has Special Short Course
in Dairying.
in Dairying.

A course which will prepare a
man for a position in any kind of
dairy work will open January 4,
at the University Of Missouri. 1t
is a special short course in dairy
ing to last seven weeks. 1t will
cover every phase of the work.
The efficiency of the instruction
given is shown by the fact that
almost all of the men who have
taken the course in the past are
doing dairy work now. Some are
managers of private diaries,
some are testers in COW testing
associations, some are butter
makers in creameries and others
are makers of ice cream. Men
who studied dairying in this
course have taken the highest
prizes in the Educational Butter
Scoring Contest held at Column
bia.
The course has classes in re-
ceiving, handling, grading, test
ing and pasteurization Of milk.
Theory and practice of churning,
the study of the factors influence
ing overrun, moisture and per-
centages, the making of ice
cream, and marketing are other
subjects studied. The student is
also given a chance to study the
production side of dairying. He
is taught the care, handling and
feeding of the dairy herd.
Al the University of Missouri
the student gets his instruction
in dairying under actual work
ing conditions. He spends half
of his time practicing the best
dairy methods in the best man
aged dairy in the state.
P. M. Brandt, Superintendent
of the short courses will send
out announcements giving cost
of board, fees and other informa-
ton to anyone who writes to
him.

What We Buy From Europe.


Washington, D. c., December /.
The Department of Commerce
today issued a statement show
ing the different kinds Of articles
imported into the United States
from European counties. The
compilation of these data was
made necessary in order to intel
ligently answer the numerous
queries received, since the Eu-
ropean war began, from mer-
chants and manufacturers in
practically every country in the
world. According to the report
the United States is dependent
upon England for a large portion
of the cotton goods consumed in
this country, approximately &c.
100000 yards of cloth, valued at
$4,000, 900, being imported in
to the United States annually.
Germany supplies the Ameri-
can trade with a large quantity
of chemicals, and last year sold
$2O,0O0,0 900 worth to United
States merchants. Other impor-
tant articles imported from Ger
many to the United States are
cotton goods, palm oil, potash,
salts, wood pulp, toys, machin-
cry, cutlery, gloves, silks, paper
goods, clover and sugar beet
seed, rice flour, cocoa, spirits,
wines and malt liquors.
France supplies the United
States with a large amount of
luxuries, among the most impor-
I tant being silks, art works, au-
tos and wines. We also import
perfumeries, diamonds and mo-
tion picture films from this coun-
e try. France contributes few
necessities to the United States,
Italy supplies large quantities

olive oil, prepared vegetables
cheese, still wines, art works.
