Some Farm Animals 



By Prof. Louis D. Hall. 



Department of Animal Husbandry, College of Agriculture, 

 University of Illinois. 



[Professor Charles was largely instrumental in arranging 

 for nature study instruction for rural communities presented 

 from a trolly train side tracked at convenient places. The fol- 

 lowing outline is furnished by one of the party of instructors. 

 It is given in its rather disconnected style so that it may convey 

 the question and answer method of instruction used. A good 

 teacher needs to be as keen a cross examiner as a successful law- 

 yer. — Editor's Note.] 



Boys and girls, you go to school, don't you? How many 

 go to school? How many study geography? How many races 

 of people have you learned about in your geography? 



Five. 



How many races of sheep does your geography tell you 

 about? Not about any, does it? How many races of sheep do 

 you suppose there are? 



Two. Five. 



There are more than two — there are more than five. There 

 are about twenty that we have in this country. Twenty different 

 kinds, and here is one of them.
