DEPARTMENT OF FARM MECHANICS. 



Teaching Work. 



The leaching work of this Department during the past year consisted 

 in a three-hour course entitled " Farm Mechanics, " for which 34 students 

 were enrolled in the first half year and 40 in the second half year. For 

 the coming year, this Department will offer " Farm Mechanics " in the 

 first half year and during the Winter-course, and " Farm Engineering " in 

 the second half year, the last being provided in response to the frequently 

 expressed desire of many of our students. 



Before laying out the work of either of the above courses it was 

 thought best thoroughly to canvass the entire field of agricultural engineer- 

 ing and to decide in detail on the subjects and the amount of time wdiich 

 it would probably be best eventually to allot to each of the Departments 

 of Farm jMechanics, Rural Engineering and Rural Architecture, as 

 broadly outlined in the report of the Director for 1905-1906. Tentative 

 schedules were therefore prepared for two sets of courses, one set being 

 laid out to suit the requirements of the general student, and one to suit 

 the student who wishes to specialize in engineering work.
