550 APPENDIX. 



FARM DAIRY INSTRUCTION. 



This circular will tall into the hands of some who do not intend to become 

 factory operators, but rather dairy farmers. Such students should take the 

 Short Course in Agriculture, which opens and closes at the same time as the 

 Dairy Course. 



In the Short Course every line of instruction is arranged to give the largest 

 amount of help possible to young farmers who have but a limited time for 

 study. Not only are the leading lines of agriculture considered, but farm 

 bookkeeping and' business accounts, farm blacksmithing, farm carpentry, etc., 

 are taught. There are thirteen instructors in this course. 



There will be lectures on dairying by Dr. Babcock and practical instruction 

 in butter-making by an assistant. 



Thorough instruction will be given in the use of the Babcock milk test and 

 the separation of cream by all the leading hand separators. The churning of 

 cream and working and packing of butter will constitute a portion of this 

 instruction. 



An Illustrated Clreular describing the Short Course studies will he sent on 

 application to R. A. MooRK, Madison, Wis. 



ENAMINATIONS. 



At intervals during the term, and at its close, the students in each of the 

 sub-courses will be subjected to examination, written and practical. During 

 the term students are given lifteen written examinations, and they are also 

 marked by five instructors in the ditterent lines of practical work. This in- 

 cludes the running of the separators, cream ripening, butter-making, cheese- 

 making, and milk testing. The students are marked on the scale of one 

 hundred as perfect and sixty as failing to pass. At the close of the term a 

 written statement, signed by the dean, will be furnished, giving the work 

 performed and his standing, as shown by the examinations. No statement of 

 standing will be given except to students who have attended the full term and 

 who have taken all the examinations. 



FACTORY AND ADVANCED DAIRY INSTRUCTION. 



Opportunity is offered for dairy instruction along theoretical and practical 

 lines at other seasons of the year than during the session of the Dairy School. 

 This instruction will embrace the two following lines of work : — 



1. Practical creamery work. 



2. Advanced dairying. 



PRACTICAL INSTRUCTION. 



During that part of the year in which the Dairy School is not in session a 

 limited number of young men without previous factory training will be 

 accepted as "factory pupils" in our creamery, coming for the purpose of 

 preparing themselves thoroughly for the Dairy School instruction given in 

 the winter. 



A circular describing this work will be sent to any one applying for it. 



Opportunity will also be given for students who have taken the Dairy Course 

 or its equivalent to continue practical work in special lines. The University 

 makes no charge for this instruction, nor will it pay anything to the pupil for 

 the work he may do.
