The instruction in Dairy Manufactures, for creamery buttermakers and cheesemakers, eight weeks from October 3 to November 22, includes lectures and practice work in the production of butter and cheese, while the two weeks' course in Market Milk and Cream Supply, October 17 to 28, is intended for milk producers, dealers, and also their patrons. FARMERS' WEEK. During the period covered by short courses, one week was set apart, October 10 to 15, for a special programme of lectures and exhibits calculated to be of interest and value to farmers and their families. The lectures included a course in home economics, by Miss Clara Palmer, Instructor in Domestic Science at the California Polytechnic School, San Luis Obispo. The exhibits included the buildings and equipment of the farm itself, and also special exhibits in horticulture, viticulture, grains, veterinary science, livestock, dairy, and poultry; and of farm machinery sent for the purpose by manufacturers and dealers. The University Farm was represented at the State Fair, held at Sacramento, September 3-10, by a display of livestock, exhibits from the poultry, dairy, veterinary science, and cereal departments, and a collection of photographs illustrating features of work at the Farm School. Demonstrators were in attendance to display model methods of operation, and data collected from experiments conducted at the Farm by students were presented. Two new buildings have been erected at the University Farm, one for instruction in forge work, carpenter work and the study of farm machinery, with a full equipment of blacksmith and carpenter tools; and the other to contain offices and class-rooms for the division of Animal Industry.
