If <:. dairyman can increase his dairy production 5 per cent., if a farmer can increase his yield of barley two bush- els to an acre, if a rancher can save just one horse by what he learns of veterinary practice, then, says the uni- versity, he will be amply repaid for the lime and expense of his six-weeks' short course at the university Here are some of the things that will he taught: To judge livestock. To immunize hogs, so that swine may he protected against hog cholera which yearly causes California hun- dreds of thousands of dollars of un- necessary loss. To test milk, so that "boarder" cows that produce less value in butterfat than the value of their feed may be removed from the herd. To make the highest quality of but- ter, cheese and ice creamâthe supply of competent men to operate cream- eries is not equal to the demand. To bud and graft, so that the fruit grower may produce and modify his own plants as he may desire. To mix and use insecticides and fungacides, fumigating, etc. To plant and care for citrus and de- ciduous orchards. To pick olives. To hatch, rear, feed, breed and care for fowls, grow their feed and build poultry yard equipment. To keep farm accounts, so that it may be plain where is the gain and where the loss in different farm op- erations. To build irrigation equipment. To perform simple surgical opera- tions on farm animals. To care for farm machinery.
