Cornell University reported, in 1911, twenty-five of 

 her former poultry students as connected with poultry 

 Departments in Educational Institutions. One of these 

 entered the Bureau of Animal Industry, and another be- 

 came a Professor, Bureau of Chemistry, Washington, 

 D. C. More than half of them have contributed leaflets 

 and bulletins to our poultry literature. One is Assistant 

 Professor in Poultry Husbandry at Cornell University, 

 and several others assist there also. Two are women : 

 one a teacher of Poultry Husbandry in the Georgia 

 Normal and Industrial School ; the other is Assistant 

 in Poultry Husbandry at Cornell University. 



Professor James E. Rice, the first Professor in Poultry 

 Husbandry at Cornell, is still its animating spirit. A 

 man of genial temper and full of conservative common 

 sense, he is ranked as leading Professor in Poultry 

 Husbandry in the United States. 



Connecticut issues a Quarterly "C. A. C. Bulletin." 

 The one for the autumn of 191 1 tells of a course in Poul- 

 try Husbandry covering the period from February 14 to 

 March 24. Instruction is divided between the class- 

 room and the poultry plant practice work "and teaches 

 practically every phase of the poultry industry." There 

 are 71 general lectures, by professor Frederick H. Stone- 

 burn. Special lectures by experts and outside professors 

 are also a feature. Each student is expected to do as 

 much practical work as his time permits, "including 

 construction of houses, judging, scoring, besides the 

 usual work with feeding, incubation, brooding," etc.
