THE ONTARIO 
 
 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, 
 
 GUELPH. 
 
 -•->*«€^ 
 
 This College is the only institution in the Province specially 
 adapted to the education of farmers' sons; and the course has 
 been so arranged that students may spend five months of the busy 
 season of the year on their own farms. 
 
 Inqntrtcs about the College. 
 
 " What is done at the College? Are foremen sent with stud- 
 ents to show them how to clean stables; groom, harness, and drive 
 horses; feed cattle, milk cows, and look after sheep; plow, harrow, 
 aiJ dnll; dig drains and post holes; cut and cure hay, etc., etc.?" 
 
 Those who ask such questions have a somewhat mistaken idea 
 as to the scope of work undertaken at the College. Such practical 
 operations should be learned before students enter the College. 
 
 It is, of course, the duty and aim of the professors, instruc- 
 tors, and foremen of the College to give all the practice possible, 
 accompanied by suitable instruction, in various operations, say in 
 tht combming and mixing of foods for different classes of stock on 
 the farm, the feeding of animals, the judging of live stock (horses, 
 cattle, sheep, and hogs) , the care of milk and making of butter, 
 the prunmg and grafting of fruit trees, and the use of carpenters' 
 tools for general repairs, etc. ; but the main object is to instruct 
 students in the principles which underlie farm operations and train 
 them to enquire and determine for themselves why certi n methods 
 give better results than others in the tillage of land, times and 
 ways of seeding, harvesting of crops, feeding and management of 
 live stock, etc.,— the aim always being to combine knowledge with 
 practice m farm operations ; to teach the sciences which bear more 
 or less directly on these operations ; and, at the same time, to fur- 
 nish a practical education in English, political economy, etc.,— 
 such an education as every farmer needs.

Course of lastrnctloi and Appmtlceshlp. 
 
 Pull courses of lectures with practical instruction in class-rooms, labor- 
 atories, stables, yards, and fields, — in af^riculture, live stock, and dairying; 
 veterinary science and practice; Bnjilish grammar, literature, and compos- 
 ition; book-keeping; and those branches of natural science and mathematics 
 which have a direct bearing on the work uf the agriculturalist, such as chem- 
 istry, geology, botany, bacteriology, entomulogy, arithmetic, mensuration, 
 etc. 
 
 thorough train: 
 carpenter shop 
 green -houses a 
 horticulture; a 
 veterinary sciei 
 2,000 plots, for 
 potatoes, etc. ; 
 books and pape 
 
 The forenoon of each day, except Saturday, from 8.45 to 12.05 (3>^ 
 hours) i.s devoted to lectures and practical instruction in the above subjects. 
 In the afternoon, all first and second year students are sent alternately to 
 work in the outside departments — in the fields, among the live stock, in the 
 dairy, in the poultry department, in the carpenter shop, in the garden or 
 green-houses, and in the experimental department.

 Terms of Admission. 
 
 Students are admitted on the 14th September. Applicants for admission 
 must be sixteen years of age; they must also have spent at least one year at 
 work on a farm, and have a practical knowledge of ordinary farm operations, 
 such as harnessing and driving horses, plowing, harrowing, drilling, etc. 
 The subjects of examination fo^ entrance are — 
 
 (1) Reading, writing, and dictation. 
 
 i2) English Grammar — parsing and analysis. 
 
 (3) AriUimetic— to the end of Simple Proportion. 
 
 (4) The outlines of General Geography, and the Geography of Canada. 
 
 Certificates of university matriculation, first-class teachers' certificates, 
 and second-class teachers' certificates are accepted in lieu of passing the 
 entrance examination. 
 
 Cost 
 
 The net cost for board, washing, and tuition, to an Ontario farmer's 
 son, is from |50 to |60 a year. If he gets the Countv nomination for free 
 tuition, his net outlay for these items need not exceed $40 a year; and the 
 College Session is arranged so that students can be at home on their own 
 farms for opring seeding, haying, harvest, fall seeding, and some of the fall 
 plowing— from the 16th April till the 14th September. 
 
 By this arrangement farmers' sons can get an education at very small 
 cost, and with the least possible interference with the work at home. 
 
 Eqnlpment for Work. 
 
 In the class-room, in the laboratories, and on the farm, our equipment 
 for work and practical instruction is all that can be desired. 
 
 Our farm is in good shape, well tilled and well managed. We have 
 eight breeds of cattle, nine breeds of sheep, and five breeds of swine, for in- 
 struction in the live stock department ; sixteen varieties of hens, to illustrate
