FARMERS* SHORT COURSE.

Students who have not the time necessary for the full course, and yet desire better to fit themselves to be successful farmers, may give exclusive attention to the technical Agricultural studies, including Veterinary Science, and complete these in one year. The studies of the second, or winter term of this course, are arranged so as to be profitably studied by those who can be in attendance only during that term. Students will be admitted to this course on passing a satisfactory examination in the common school branches, but they will receive greater benefit from it if they have made better preparation, especially if they have a good knowledge of Botany and Chemistry. They should not be less than eighteen years of age. Special fee $5 per term. They will be admitted to the following classes:

1.. Elements of Agriculture; Agricultural Engineering and Architecture; Animal Anatomy and Physiology; Shop Practice. 2. Animal Husbandry; Rural Economy; Veterinary Science. 3. History of Agriculture and Rural Law; Veterinary Science; Economic Entomology or Landscape Gardening.
