Book Description
Excerpt from Beginnings in Animal Husbandry Agricultural education under these conditions lagged, and how to encourage interest became a serious problem with the colleges. Educators insisted that the teaching should be largely based on pure science, and it was Often difficult for the students to see the application. Recognizing this lack Of interest, a few Western colleges conceived the plan Of giving short winter courses of a popular nature, in which practical laboratory instruction should be given. Work in dairying, horticulture, and live stock judg ing first received attention. This practical training was most favorably regarded by the students. These winter courses grew rapidly in popularity, and paved the way for more attractive forms of instruction for the regular students. Through this medium of the short winter Course, both interest and attendance in the agricultural colleges rapidly grew. New courses of study were established, more buildings and equipment were required, and then agricultural education sprang into popularity. The production of new types of text books, on subjects heretofore undiscussed in pedagogical form, logically followed in this evolution in agricultural edu cation. During this movement in behalf Of rural uplift, a few progressive men urged the importance of agricultural educa tion in the country schools of higher grade. This resulted in establishing agricultural schools Of secondary grade in different parts of the United States, both North and South. During the past few years, country life has become popular. As a result, there is a widespread movement in behalf of agricultural education, and the subject is now being taught in its various phases in many schools all over the land. Recognizing the need of an elementary text book for young people, the author has seen fit to prepare this volume on animal husbandry, the first of its kind devoted to this special field. It is his earnest hope that such lessons as either teacher or pupil shall find within these pages, may result in a desire for yet wider knowledge of and a more sympathetic interest in our farm animals.

Book Description
Excerpt from Animal Husbandry Series, Vol. 1 Fixing the Horns. The horns should always be polished and otherwise fixed so as to present a neat and attractive appearance. The same treatment is not applicable to all horns, as some are much more delicate than others. In some horns the quick is very close, thus care must be. Exercised in the scraping to prevent bleeding or the weakening of the shell. If the horn is too long, the first step will be to shorten the same. This should be done with a fine-toothed saw, but care must be taken not to cut too deep. Saw off the amount you think necessary to make the horn the desired length. After the cutting is done, then commence and file the horn at the point to its natural shape, beginning about an inch from the point and filing from the outside inwards, making it look as natural as possible so as to avoid detection. If the animal be a Shorthorn, commence filing the inside Of the horn, giving it a flat inside appearance, which is correct in a Shorthorn, although not necessarily in all horned animals. Next begin at the outside, smooth and round it, making it blend as nearly as possible with the already dressed inside.

Book Description
Excerpt from Animal Breeding Breeding a Science and an Art - Animal breed ing is at once a science and an art. It is a science in so far as it discovers and systematically arranges the truths and principles which relate to the improve ment of live stock. The value of in-and - in breeding, for instance, as a quick means of improvement illus trates such discovery. (see Chapter X.) It does not appear to have been known to the ancients. If it were thus known the knowledge was subsequently lost. The systematic arrangement of the truths and principles which relate to the science is yet far from complete, and it may be added, that many of these truths and principles are not yet understood. It is an art in so far as it successfully uses those principles in effecting improvement. The importance, there fore, of understanding the principles which make improvement possible will be at once apparent, since, until so understood, they cannot be turned to profit able account.
