FARMERS' SHORT COURSES Instruction in Practical Agriculture upon the University Farm at Davis—Location of Farm and Expenses of Same The University Farm, the selection and purchase of which was provided for by an act of the California Legislature of 1905, is contiguous to the town of Davis in Yolo county. The farm adjoins the town on the south and west and the main buildings are not more than one-half mile from the town's business street. The location is very convenient, as Davis is situated at the junction of the Oregon and Central overland railway routes and many trains pass each way daily. The purposes of the University Farm and the duties of the Regents of the University in connection therewith are defined by the statute (Chapter CXXIX) as follows: They (the Regents of the University) shall appoint the necessary instructors and inaugurate and provide for the conduct of instruction in agriculture, and in such other branches of learning as are allied thereto, and as are calculated to better qualify and inform the students attending in the theory and practice of agriculture. This instruction shall be conducted in connection with, and as a part of, the College of Agriculture of the University of California, provisions being made by the Regents for such attendance on the farm of the college students as may be deemed best and necessary to the completion of their college courses. The University Farm and the instruction thereon shall be so conducted as to meet the needs of persons who desire instruction in agriculture, horticulture, viticulture, animal industry, dairy will be glad to answer any about the work to be given be raised by this announcement, ditional copies of the circular gladly sent to any address us. We want every person innia who is interested in agriculture know of the unusual opportunity University is able to offer institution in agriculture. EQUIPMENT The Farm covers an area hundred and eighty acres of valley land, chiefly a sandy very productive.

It is all of irrigation and main canals ing with this system now traw farm. It is well equipped with stock, chiefly mules, and will complement of farm wagons, machinery. Portions of the farm been set aside for distinctly mental work, e.g., forty fruits and vines, of which or planted; forty acres for import of cereals; thirty acres to it to show results of different ditches and different methods ing water; thirty acres of gro alfa are on the farm and ab acres more have been planted son. Variety and culture to gar beets and legumes are un on some twenty acres: the r of the farm is in hay, grain a mer fallow.

This instruction shall be conducted in connection with, and as a part of, the College of Agriculture of the University of California, provisions being made by the Regents for such attendance on the farm of the college students as may be deemed best and necessary to the completion of their college courses. The University Farm and the instruction thereon shall be so conducted as to meet the needs of persons who desire instruction in agriculture, horticulture, viticulture, animal industry, dairying, irrigation and poultry raising, and to prepare them for the pursuit thereof; and shall be used for experimental and investigational work in connection with the agricultural experiment station of the University of California. Short courses of instruction shall also be arranged for in each of the leading branches of agricultural industry, so regulated as to provide for popular attendance and general instruction in agricultural practice. PURPOSE OF THE COURSES For several years the University has endeavored to give practical instruction in agriculture through short courses at Berkeley and other points in the state. A serious handicap has been found in the lack of field operations under the direct control of the University whenever such courses have been offered. With the large farm provided at Davis and the equipment so far secured this handicap is removed and the University is pleased to offer opportunities equal to those of eastern institutions of longer standing. The aim of the short course is to give the latest and best knowledge in a condensed and concentrated form to farmers and creamery operators who can spend only a brief period away from their business,—to put into a nutshell, as it were, what is now known of the principles underlying the agricultural processes and their application to farm practice. The dominant feature of the courses will be their emphasis of the practical aspect of the farm operations and the actual participation by the students in the work under consideration. EVERYBODY MAY COME The Farmers' courses are open to all persons who are at least seventeen years of age. No entrance examinations will be given nor any requirement imposed except an earnest desire to learn and to make the best use of opportunities freely offered by the BUILDINGS The Creamery is a two-story building 60x80 and has rooms for seating and cheese making.

For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address: F. J.

Ramsey of the Southern California pathological laboratory at Whittier, discussing walnut culture and top grafting, says: "In walking through an orchard dead twigs are frequently found; but this is due primarily to the starved conditions of soil or else to peculiar weather conditions in seasons past.

Ramsey of the Southern California pathological laboratory at Whittier, discussing walnut culture and top grafting, says: "In walking through an orchard dead twigs are frequently found; but this is due primarily to the starved conditions of soil or else to peculiar weather conditions in seasons past. This die back should not be attributed to blight, although there are instances where the blight does cause some injury to the young growing wood of the walnut tree, but in a few instances is the abundance of dead branches in a tree due to this cause. "It differs from pear blight in this respect, that it does not endanger the vitality of the tree. The pear blight, also a bacteria disease, on the other hand, is not only destructive to the fruit of the tree, but the very life of the tree itself. There is also this difference, that after the pear blight has once obtained a firm foothold in an orchard it continues to grow worse year by year, and finally will wipe out the orchard itself. "With the walnut blight it is different, as we may have a bad case of blight in an orchard or locality one year and have practically none the next. Thus, while much has been said concerning the destructiveness of this blight, it cannot be said to have ruined the walnut industry. "We have given up all hope of practically destroying the blight by any spraying or external process. "We firmly believe that the only practical and rational solution of the walnut blight problem lies in the use of resistant varieties, both for future plantings and to a greater or less extent for the present acreage by top-grafting."

It week the Cow talked, now the Horse will talk: "I like to work—I like to eat better. Give me oats, barley or molasses, all the same to me, and I will show you a glossy coat and will always be ready to work. Come to think about it, I believe I like molasses better than either, as it sweetens up my hay, of which I do not always get the best, so that otherwise considerable of it is trodden under foot. I will eat it up clean if you will." Put Molasses on It. I know of a family of 23 head of horses keeping fat on 6 barrels molasses per month sprinkled on their hay at feeding time. Working hard, they were as well fed as though they had barley costing ten times the $9.00 per month which the molasses cost." Put Molasses on It.
