OFFER NEW COURSES
VIII Instruct Summer Students Ii
Methods of Teaching Agriculture
Open New Field.

One of the most interesting fea-
lures of the work that will be given at
the university's summer session this
year will be a thorough course in
Methods of Teaching Agriculture. "
Dean Carlyle is now making a far
and-wide search for a man who is
capable Of properly handling the sub
ject and believes that it will open Up
a new field in agricultural education
"Our students are all taught agiic,.l.
ture and can go right into the field
as practical workers, but they are not
trained as teachers in their line" said
Dean Carlyle.
What is true at the University OF
Idaho in this respect is true also at
nearly all other agricultural colleges
in the country, Wisconsin anil Minne-
sofa being practically the only ex-
ceptions. 1t is Dean Carlyle's plan to
commence work along this line in the
summer session and to continue it. if
possible, through the regular four
year agricultural courses.

BIG SHEEP SHIPMENT
Portland Firm Gets Idaho Fed Lambs,
Ewes and Wethers Fed by Uniyer-
sity Farm.

What is said to be the largest ship
ment of sheep ever made by an Amer
| lean experiment station VIII be start
| ed by the University of Idaho's sta
ton at Caldwell on Friday of this
week to a Portland market, the con-
signee being the Union Meat company
of that city. The shipment will con-
sist of three double-decked carloads
of lambs, ewes and wethers, or a to-
tai of 1856 head. OF this number $40
are lambs and 225 are ewes and
wethers.
The entire flock was purchased by
the university last December and since
that time have been fed for expert
mental purposes on the Caldwell sta
tion farm. The sheep have been fat
tened on Idaho-grown feeds, and have
made some very remarkable gains.
The ewes and wethers have been fed
on a mixture of one-half barley, one
fourth corn and one-fourth oats with
alfalfa and mixed hay. The lambs
were fattened in three separate lots,
one being fed straight barley, anu
alfalfa hay, another alfalfa hay and
a mixture of three-fourths barley and
one-fourth corn, alfalfa hay and a
mixture of three-fourths barley and
one-fourth corn, and the third alfalfa
hay with a one-half barley, one-fourth
corn and one-fourth oats mixture
No definite figures on the big expert
ment have yet been worked out though
it is thought that some very valuable
data will be obtained A bulletin
showing the exact results of the ex-
pertinent will be published in the near
future.
