II. ANIMAL HUSBANDRY. 



I submit herewith a report of the Department of Animal Hus- 

 baiidry for the year from July i, 1905, to June 30, 1906. 



I. TEACHING. 



During the College year 1905-1906, instruction in Animal Hus- 

 bandry was offered in five distinct courses and in Poultry Husbandry 

 in seven courses. The details of the latter will be found in tlie 

 accompanying" report of Professor Rice. In the courses in Animal 

 Husbandry proper, the registration was as follows : 



First Second 

 term. term. 



Course 31, General course in animal husbandry 63 52 



Course 32, Advanced course in animal husbandry 14 8 



Course 34, Advanced course in animal mechanics 35 



Course 35, Practice course in feeding and stable man- 

 agement 4 



Course 36, Elementary animal husbandry, given only to 



students in the Veterinary College 16 



Total 93 99 



In addition, instruction was given to Winter-Course students, as 



follows : 



In breeds and breeding 49 



In feeds and feeding I49 



In special lectures to poultry course 23 



Total 221 



Making a grand total of 313 students for one term. 



The work of instruction was carried on fairly successfully, and 

 the records made by the students were exceptionally good wlien it 

 is considered that the work was very much hampered by enforced 

 removal from the old dairy building at the end of the Easter Recess. 

 On account of being unable to secure any accommodation elsewhere, 

 a part of the work usually given to students in Course 31 was neces- 

 sarily omitted.
