Two manuals will be furnished. This course demands a larger 
amount of field and observational study than option 1. The 
faithful performance of the work outlined in either of these sec- 
tions should give the student a general knowledge of the funda- 
mentals of plant structure and growth. 
Course 3. Practical Horticulture: Students registering in 
this course elect one of the following subjects: fruit-raising, 
vegetable gardening, or floriculture. In addition to regular text- 
book assignments, the reading of specified bulletins relating to 
these matters is required, and the performance of experiments. 
Students taking this course should have access to some piece of 
land, however small, upon which they can raise crops for experi- 
mental purposes. The practical problems of tillage, irrigation 
and drainage, fertilizers, spraying, seedage, insects and fungi will 
thus be worked out on the basis of actual experience. 
' Course 4. Poultry Culture: This course treats of the under- 
lying principles of the profitable production of poultry products. 
The essential business elements which lie not only in the quali- 
fication of the poultryman but also in the quality of the stock in- 
vestment will receive special consideration. The care and man- 
agement of all the operations from the time the egg or the chick 
is produced until it reaches the consumer will receive much at- 
tention. Each student is urged to be actively engaged in some 
part of the business while taking the course, for observation, 
study and work go hand in hand in successful poultry manage- 
ment. 
Course 5. Cooking: This course gives some methods for 
the simpler dishes used in the diet. It includes text assign- 
ments giving something of the needs of the human system as re- 
gards the elemental foodstuffs, the preservation of food, with a 
few special diets for children and the sick. 
Course 6. Zoology: The course is intended to give a 
grounding in the subject of general zoology with especial refer- 
ence to its economic aspects. It includes text assignments, writ- 
ten lectures and simple dissections of a number of common ani- 
mals with a view to gaining an understanding of the salient 
points in their comparative anatomy. Notes of the life histories, 
form and habits of animals are included in order to show the 
adaptation of animals to various circumstances and conditions of 
environment. The course is intended for teachers and others 
with a taste for or a knowledge of the facts and materials of 
Zoology.
