Tn Animal Husbandry I, II and V Hi is department did only the 

 work relating to daii';y cattle. 



During the early part of the fall term a judging team was made 

 ready for the National Dairy Show. The preliminary training was 

 given to about a dozen men. From this number three were chosen to 

 compete in the name of this college at Ihe coniest. They were, L. 

 J. Keed, 0. E. Piper, J. H. Hamilton. Thirteen other states entered 

 teams. As a team our men took sixth place. In the individual winnings 

 L. J. Reed was awarded the scholarship offered by the American Jersey 

 Cattle Club for best work in judging the Jersey classes. 



At the beginning of this year we made a strenuous effort to pur- 

 chase enough raw material to adequately provide for the several classes 

 in Dair}' Manufactures, and at the same time to so apportion those ma- 

 terials as to manufactured products and markets that sulTicient revenue 

 should be derived from materials sold to cover all expenses for the 

 same. With the conditions under which our men have been obliged 

 to work in the old building we feel reasonably well satisfied with the 

 progress made in this direction. Upon the completion of the commodi- 

 ous and well appointed building now under erection we hope to be able 

 to place our entire scheme of Dairy Manufactures upon a more per- 

 manent and stable foundation. 



In all that has been attempted we have had the earnest co-operation 

 and faithful support of C. E. Newlander, H. E. Dennison, and 0. A. 

 Jamison as regular instructors, and of Simon Hagedorn and Charles 

 H. Dear during the special winter courses.

REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ANIMAL HUSBANDRY. 



To the President, Michigan Agricultural College : 



Dear Sir — I have the honor to submit herewith the report of the De- 

 partment of Animal Husbandry for the year ending June 30, 1913. 



During the Fall Term, 1912, instruction was given to 204 freshmen 

 in Animal Husbandry I. This class was divided into two sections 

 which we had hoped to further divide for the practical work in the 

 pavilion, but owing to the increased correspondence and personal at- 

 tention required by the live stock equipment it was impossible for 

 both members of the department to devote their time to this work. 



In Animal Husbandry II, 43 junior agricultural students were en-
