Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Seventh Annual Report October 2nd, 1904 The following pages will explain the subjects taught and the methods employed: Agriculture. Demonstrations in Practical Agriculture. n this exercise the class is taken to the field or stable and given instruction in performing the simplest fundamental operations in the daily work of the farm. For example, the student is taught the proper method of currying a horse, how to take apart and put together a harness, and harness and unharness a single horse or a pair, to drive and to handle a team under a variety of conditions. He is taught how to milk and how to handle the various farm tools. Soils, Composition and Classification. Preceding study of methods of cultivation, the student should know how soils are formed, of what they are composed, the relation of different kinds of soil to water, heat and air; the effect of varying proportions of humus, clay or sand, and the reasons why soils of different compositions have different characteristics; The mechanical, physical and chemical effects of water, showing the results from too much or too little moisture; The capacity of soils to hold water and plant food; The chemical and mechanical composition and their relations to crop production. Soils. After study of the composition of soils follows a consideration of the plow, harrow, cultivator and other implements used in the preparation of the soil for planting and in the planting and cultivation of the crop. As the school has a very good outfit of implements, the student is able to become familiar with them by actual experience, first learning by classroom exercises the use and adaptability of the tools, and later, by actual practice in the field, intensifying and making practical his class work. In the class room the student learns why and when he tills the soil, why he plows and when, the reasons for using weeders, cultivators or harrows, and then goes to the field and uses the implement, thus learning how to manipulate it in practise, and being able to study its work and its effect upon the soil or plant. Soil Improvement. Rational soil improvement is based upon a knowledge of soil composition and its effect on plant growth, and upon the effect of the use of different tools upon the soil.
