"The course in agriculture for the rural common schools, as outlined by the committee on instruction in agriculture in its ninth report to the Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations, was designed to extend over two years, the seventh and eight years in schools having eight grades. The first year was to be given up to a study of plant production, and the second year to animal production and some matters concerning dairying, farm mechanics, a nd farm accounts. The experiments thus far tried in teaching agriculture in elementary schools have been directed mainly along the line of plant production; hence there is much more material in teachable form on this phase of agriculture than on any other phase. On this account, and for the further reason that a bulletin dealing with the whole subject of elementary agriculture would be so large as to preclude its wide distribution, it has been decided to limit this bulletin to exercises illustrating some of the more important principles of plant production, leaving to subsequent bulletins the application of these principles to particular crops."--Scope of the bulletin (p.8).
Excerpt from Exercises in Elementary Agriculture: Plant Production Dairying is an industry of sufficient importance in most States to deserve special consideration in a course in elementary agriculture. The subject would naturally be introduced by making a somewhat more detailed study of the dairy type of cow than was given under animal production. This would be followed by a study of milk, its composition, how determined, and relation to price; handling, and the relation of cleanliness, straining, aerating, and cooling to quality; and uses for consumption as milk or cream, for condensing, for cheese making, and for butter making. In regions where dairying is not an important industry it may be desirable to take up the study Of some other phase of agrotechny, such as sugar making, canning, wine making, or olive-oil making. Rural engineering in most of its aspects is considered too technical for pupils in the common schools, but in every community there will be some Opportunity to examine the plans and structure of good types of buildings, fences, irrigation systems, etc., and to devote some time to drawing simple plans of farms, buildings, and other works. Ad vantage should also be taken of any Opportunity to visit implement warehouses and have the structure, Operation, and care of different types of farm machinery pointed out to pupils. The importance Of good roads, hygienic water supply, and sewage disposal should be emphasized. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
