INTRODUCTION. 
There are few branches of agriculture that take as little fertility from 
the soil and at the same time returns a profit to the farmer as dairy 
farming. While teaching dairy farming is not the purpose of this 
bulletin, yet it is the basis of the lessons presented. These lessons 
present the subject from the standpoimt of clean milk production, 
milk products, milk as a food in the home and as a supplement to 
other food materials, and have been prepared to give to the organized 
school work in elementary agriculture additional impetus in dairying, 
to provide material for instruction that is within the range of elemen- 
tary pupils, and to furnish a topic for home projects that may be 
worked out with profit to every community and with real educational 
value to the pupils concerned. 
SOURCES OF INFORMATION. 
Practically all the subject matter for class use and instructions for 
home projects will be found in bulletins available, either free or at a 
small cost. Almost every State agricultural college has published
