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. ill -■1 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. If you cann as outlined in tl Dairy Course, v months. In th cheese- making, 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 If the foregt note of the fact the College at ai one or more bra: or dairying, or t There is no i special courses.
