Preface
This book is designed to introduce students to the study of Animal Husbandly in the schools, and also in colleges when only a short time can be given to the subject. Possibly it may be useful to the farmer or general reader who desires a book treating of the several classes of farm animals.
Now that agriculture is becoming recognized as an educational subject, there is an increasing demand for the subject-matter involved. Especially is there a demand for knowledge concerning the farm animals. It has been the aim of the author to cover the work very largely from a practical point of view. This is done with the thought that the pupils should be brought into close touch with actual farm affairs. In all courses of study involving the consideration of material objects, it is important to recognize that the pupil should study not only about the thing, but should study the object itself. In Animal Husbandry, especially, the importance of studying animals in all their circumstances cannot be too strongly recommended. Unfortunately this is not always possible, since many of the schools lack facilities and are far removed from the farms.
The arrangement of the subject-matter in a textbook of this class is important. There is utter lack of agreement among Animal Husbandry instructors as to the method of presenting the subject. The method here employed was chosen after careful consideration as the most adaptable for beginners. Each class of farm animals is considered separately, the subject-matter being arranged under similar chapter headings. This has been done to clarify the text, and to make it possible for the teacher to consider the types and breeds of the several classes, the judging, feeding, management, and the like, without respect to a particular class, if he so desires.
The author realizes that it is often difficult to introduce Animal Husbandry into the schools, largely because of the lack of facilities.
vi Preface
With this difficulty in mind, many exercises or practicums are suggested in the Appendix, in order that the teacher may choose such as he requires, or as his facilities permit. At least one exercise should be used each week. The exercises may be considered in any order to suit the convenience of the teacher. Neither the substance nor the form here proposed is vital. The teacher can modify them to suit his needs or plan others along similar lines.
When at all convenient, the teacher and pupils should visit stables, where animals are housed. This will provide an opportunity to study at first hand the subject-matter discussed in the text, and will add greatly to the interest and value of the work.
Realizing the difficulties of presenting Animal Husbandry in the schools, the author will be glad to correspond with teachers concerning their work, and also to receive criticisms or suggestions as to changes they find desirable in the text.
