Excursions to neighboring points of special interest have been made a feature of the Course in Poultry Husbandry Such excursions arc conducted in other courses also whenever practicable. The ,,"ord hou r in the following schedules mcans one lecture of one hour each ,,"cek for t\\"el\"e ,,"eeks, or one period of two and onehalf hours of laboratory or practice cach week for twelve weeks. The City and the University Tthaca is situated in Tompkins County at the head of Cayuga Lake. It is a city of about fifteen thousand inhabitants. It is reached by t.he Lehigh Valley and the Delaware, Lackawanna, and 'iVestern Railroads. The University stands on a plateau about four hundred feet above the lake. The officers of instruction and administration at Cornell University mUllber nearly seven hundred. The campus and grounds COVCl" one thousand and ninety-nine acres. WINTER COURSES '3 The main buildings of the University are oyer thirty-five in number, provicling quarters for t.he several colleges of the University. These are the Graduate School, and the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Law, ~'leclicine, Agriculture, Veterinary Meclieine, Architecture, Civil E ngineering, and Mechanical Engineering. The New York Stat.e College of Agriculture at Comell Uni\-ersity occupies new buildings erected by the State. These builclings are large and well equipped, and afford an attractive and comfortable home for the College. Social and Religious Advantages Every year the students in each of the se\-eral Winter Courses have fonned clubs. These societies meet once a week and debate subjects of special interest, discuss various problems, sing college songs, and indulge in other fomls of social enjoyment. Every wi.nter-course student is urged to attend these meetings. The ""inter-course students are wclcomed at thc meetings of the Agricultural Association, the Lazy Club, the Pouitry Association, the Round-Up Club, and the other organizations of students in the College. The meetings of these societies are devoted to discussions of Jive agricultural subjects and to the promotion of friendship among the students. Usually on the first Thursday evening of each month the Dean of the College meets the faculty and the students of the College in the Agricultural Assembly. At this meeting the Dean gives a talk on matters of special importance to those interested in agriculture and country life, or a reacling, followed by singing and social entertainment. Each ·winter the students in the various ·Winter Courses compete for the !vlorrison Winter Course Trophy Cup. Last year the contest was a series of debates, as a result of which the cup was awarded for one year t o the students in the Winter Course in Dairy Industry. Religious services, provided for by the Dean Sage Preachership Endowment, are conducted in Sage Chapel throughout the college year, by eminent clergymen selected from the various religious denominations. These services are su?plemented by the Comell University Christian Association, a voluntary organization of students and professors fonned for their own religious culture and the promotion of Christian living in the University. The Christian Association has its home in Bam es Hall . It has a pennanent secretary. It has also a carefully selected Biblical library and com- COLLEGE or AGRICULTURE fortable reading and recreation rooms. Courses in Bible study are conducted throughout the year, and special courses are provided fo r students in t.he Winter Courses. In addition to the Young Men's Christian Associat.ion there is a flouri shing Young Women's Christian Association, with quarters in Barnes Hall . The students of the University are welcomed by t he numerous churches in the city of Ithaca at aU their services. Positions The College docs not promise to find positions for students registered in any of its courses, but it has opportunity to recommend students for a large number of positions. Thus far it has been difficult to find students for all the places which the College has been askcd to fill. Many students who have completed a Winter Course have obtained an increase in salary in the following season sufficient to pay the entire cost of the coursc. Such results, although not guaranteed, are not uncommon ; they show that there are excellent opportunities for trained men. A student desiring a recommendation from the College must fulfill the following conditions: ( l ) he must be of good character ; (2) his previous record must be good; (3) his work in the Winter Course must be satisfactory. Tn the case of the Dairy Course, previous experience in a wellconducted dairy plant is strongly advised for those who expect the College to recommend them for positions. Tn the case of t he Poultry Course, it is recommended that persons inexperienccd in t he handling of poultry spend at least a ycar in acquiring practical knowledge of the business before entering the Winter Course in Poultry Husbandry. Students who have not prcviously had a considerable amOllnL of farm or poultry experience cannot. as a rule, be recommended to positions of responsibility until they have spent a season on an approved poultry farm. This is particularly true for thc better positions, in which managers or superintendents are wanted to take charge of poultry farms. The salaries obtained by students after completing the Course in Poultry Husbandry range from $15 to $75 a month with board and room, the average being about $35 to $40. WINTER COURSES '5 DESCRIPTION OF THE WINTER COURSES I. CO URSE IN AGRI CULTURE !I'lost of the young men who come for a 'Winter Course expect to engagc in general farming or hope to obtain positions as superintendents of farms on which diversified agriculture is practiced . It is for these that the general Course in Agriculture is especially designed. Persons who plan to specialize will register in one of the professional courses or groups. On the other hand, the Course in Agriculture can be taken with advantage also by those who plan to do special work in agriculture later. It gives an opportunity for laying a broad foundation of general knowledge as a basis for subsequent specialization. This course gives a general survey of agriculture in practically all its phases. It is strongly advised that persons desiring to pursue one of the Special Winter Courses should first take the Coursc in Agriculture and postpone their special work to the following winter. Choice of subjects. Students may choose from the following courses such subjects as they desire to take and are able to schedule without conflict. No student may take more than a total of eighteen hours without special pennission, and sixteen hours is as much as the average student can carry satisfactorily.

" COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE Certificate of Proficiency A student who has completed all the work of the Winter Course in Dairy rndustry and has passed all the required examinations, may become a candidate for a Certificate of Proficiency in the kind of dairy work in which he is engaged. The candidate must complete onc year of satisfactory work in a responsible dairy position approved by the Department of Dairy rndustry. The candidate must report regularly, on blanks fUrnlshed by the Department for the purpose, such information in regard to his work as may be required, and each month must send a sample of his dairy product (milk, cream, butter, or cheese) to the Department of Dairy Industry to be judged. H e must have his work in readiness for inspection by a representative of the Department at any time, and report of such inspection must be satisfactory to the Department. A cer tificate will not be granted on a year's work if a part of the year is spent in making one product and a part in making another product. For example, six months in a cheese factory and six months in a butter factory will 110t entitle a man to a certificate; but two seasons of six months each in anyone line of work will be accepted as one full year, if the factory does not run for a longer time. If the candidate is regularly employed in the manufacture of more than one kind of dairy product (for example, if he is making both buttcr and cheese), he may become eligible to work for a Certificate of Proficiency in eaeh of these lines by complying with the requirements stated above. Briefly, the requirements are as follows: (I) Satisfactory completion of all the subjects given III the Winter Dairy course; (2) Satisfactory monthly reports of the work during at least one year; (3) T he sending each month of a sample of the candidate's product to the Department of Dairy Industry, to be judged; (4) Satisfactory inspection by a representative of the Department of Dairy Industry. On satisfactorily completing these requirements, a certificate will be granted. Under certain conditions a longer period than one year of work may be required. WINTER COURSES '9 A SPECIAL ONE WEEK COURSE FOR MANAGERS OF FACTORIES AND CREAMERIES Beginning Thursday morning, March 2, 1916, and closing Wednesday night, March 8, 1916 This course is intended for managers of creameries and factories who cannot be absent from their business for any considerable time, but \\·ho wish to come t o the College in order to acquire the latest knowledge in thcir special ,York. All the regular branches of cheese making and butter making will be taught, and special attention will be given to the use of the moisture and Babcock tests, creamery overrun, construction of factory and creamery buildings, drainage and water supply, commercial starters, relation of bacteria to dairy products, market milk, dairy inspection, judging dairy products, keeping factory accounts, and the like. The only requirement for admission to this one week course is that the applicant shall have had at least one year of experience as manager of a factory or a creamery. The only fee is $5, payable at registration. This covers the use of white suits, apparatus, and materials required in the laboratory and practice work. For cost of board and other expenses, see page 8. III. COURSE I N POULTRY HUSBANDRY The Winter Course in Poultry Husbandry is one of the means by which the College of Agriculture attempts to meet the needs of farmers. The course is intended also to assist in supplying the large and growing demand for trained poultrymen to take charge of poultry plants owned by others. Although it is manifestly impossible to give in twelve weeks full preparation for so exacting a business as poultry keeping, this course will start the studcnt in the right direction, enablc him to avoid many mistakes, and offer him facts and principles of value gleaned from the lifelong experience, study, and observation of others. Persons expecting to take up poultry raising profcssionaUy should register in the Course in Poultry Husbandry, not in the Course in Agriculture. A meeting of all wintcr-course students in Poultry Husbandry with the staff of the Department will be held at five o'clock on the afternoon of registration day, November 9, in Poultry Building 375. 3' COLLEGE or AORICU LTURE Special Expenses Laboratory fce (to pay in part for materials used) . .

On sat.isfactory completion of these requirements a certificate wil! be granted. Under certain conditions a longer period than one year of practical work may be required. No student who has failed to completc the full twelve weeks of attembnce in the Winter Course in Poultry Husbandry is eligible for a certificate. IV. COURSE IN FRUIT GROWING Each year since the establishment of the Winter Courses the demand for special instruclion in fruit growing has increascd. The opportunities for profitable fruit raising on the comparatively cheap lands of the East, within casy reach of the great markets, arc attracting capital and energy. It is in response to this general demand and these opportune conditions that a Winter Course in Fntit Growing is offered. The studies included in this course are intended to help the fmi t grow,-.,. to manage his orchards better than in the past; to WINTER COU RSES 3J fit t~ose \"ho ha~'e had some experience for positions of responsibility ; to give the begInner the &'l.licnt principles, and acquaint him as far as possible with the best practices, of commercial and amatcur fruit growers throughout the country. Required Subjects All students in this course, except those who have already satis~ factoril y completf'd thc Winter Course in Agriculture, arc required to take the subjects that follow. Those who have completed the Winter Course in Agriculture will not be required to take again subjects in which they have already passed, and may elect others from the Course in Agricult ure in their place.

COURSE IN HOME ECONOMICS The main object of the Winter Course in Home E conomics is to provide scientific training in subjects pertaining to the home. Special attention is given to household sanitation, selection and preparation of foods, problems of nutrition, house construction and decoration, household management, and sewing. The instruction is of interest to both men and women in so far as both are concerned with the problems of the right maintenance of the home. The aim of the course is t o inCTLase efficiency in household administ:ration, to g1ve the breadth of view and th~ interest which come with intelligent labor, to teach not only how to do the work but also why it should be done. COLLEGE 01~ AGRICULTURE The equipment for instruction in this course is the same as that for the longer courses in home economics. A well-equipped laboratory is pr'Ovided for practical instruction in foods. Library privileges are offered. For several years past, some 'Of the students in the course have been women who found it possible to accompany another member of the family attending one of the other Winter Cour$Cs. Some have combined with the Course in Home Economics instruction in another of the Winter Courses. In order to keep a proper social balance in a community, farm girls should be given social and educational opportunities equal to those given to boys. Household problems, as well as the problems of the farm, rest on science; hencc there is equal need for a course of training to prepare women for their tasks in life. Special Expenses A food laboratory fee of $7.50 is required to cover the cost of materials used . Those taking the course in sewing will be charged an additional fee of S2. For the purchase of books and a thennometer, from $3 to $5 should be al~owcd. Required Subjects I. Foods. Lectures. three hours a week; two laboratory periods a week, of three hours each.

COURSE IN FLOWER GROWING New York is distinctly a flower-growing State. The financial interests of the indust.ry arc greater in this State than in any other State in the Union. There is coming to be a keener competition among flower growers, and the most progl:cssive young men realize that they n.ust equip thelllSelvcs with all the information possible if they arc to make a success of the business . Two courses are offered for those especiall y interested in commercial floriculture. These, wil..h other required subjects, should give the student a broad kno\,"lcdgc of the subject and beLtc..r equip him for his life work . Interest in flower growing, however, is not confined to men engaged in the (;ommerciai side. There is an increasing dema nd by amateurs for information regarding t he culture of plants to be used abou t the home or the school grounds. Cou rses have been arranged with lohe object in view of meeting t.his demand. These courses arc outlined on page IS. Those following are planned especially for persons who intend to engage in commercial floriculture. Course 2 is equally well su ited for those interest.ed in vegetable forcing under glass.

COURSE IN VEGETABLE GARDENING With the rapid growth of our cities and with vegetable food occupying a place of constantly increasing importance in the dietary. the demand for vegetables has undergone a great development within the last few years . An ever-increasing number of farmers arc looking to the growing of vegetables as a source of all or part of their income, both on highly specialized vegetable farms and in connection with other less intensive types of agriculture. In view of the wide and growin~ interest in the subject of vegetable culture, the Department of Vegetable Gardening has arranged a series of courses to meet the needs of those who wish to specialize to a greater or less extent in this field. Particular pains are taken to so shape the work that it will be of service to men who have already gained field experience. The principles advanced are illustrated by reference to the practices of widely diverse growing centers of the United States, and the discussions are becoming more interesting from year to year, as the proportion of actual vegetable growers in the class increases. To students who are in a position to consider sJX'nding two winter-course l:>Cl;ods at the University. it is recom mended t hat the first be devoted to general agriculture, thus establishing a !,ou nd basis for the more highly specialized vegetable work of the second year. 38 COLLEGE OF AGR ICULTURE Required Subjects I.
