The Winter Course in Agriculture
University of Nebraska begins Dec
ember 31,1901 , and continues for elev
en weeks. The course is designed to
meet the demands for simple and
practical instruction in agriculture ]
It occupies but a short time , and tha |
at a season of the year when farm
work is least pressing. No examina ?
tions ior entrance are required. The
course of instructidHjis designed to
give wuch knowledge as will enable
young farmers not only to increase
the products of the farm in amount ,
but also in quality. In agriculture ,
horticulture , animal husbandry , and
dairying , the instruction is of such'a
character as will more than douole
the earning capacity of any young
man who will take the course. We
urge persons who may read this para ,
graph to write to the University of
Nebraska for further information ,
and we hope that the sons of many of
our readers will decide to attend the
school.
