II. Agricultural Chemistry.

In this course there is one class, to which lectures are delivered once
a week throughout the session; or, when found more convenient to
students of Agriculture, a larger number of lectures a week are given
during a part of the year only. The chemical and physical properties of

soils, of the atmosphere, and of plants, the chemistry of the processes of
vegetable life and growth, the composition and chemical preparation of
manures, etc., are discussed.

Text-books:—J. F. W. Johnston and C. A. Cameron—"Elements of Agricultural
Chemistry and Geology" (12th edition). For reference:—S. W. Johnson—"How
Crops Grow," and "How Crops Feed;" N. T. Lupton—"Elementary Principles of
Scientific Agriculture."

Farmers who are not regular students of the University are invited to
attend this special course without charge.

Very liberal provision for this School has been made in the way of
material arrangements. (See page 55.)
