Movable School of Agriculture At Oregon Grange Convention
At the Oregon State Grange convention a movable school of agriculture attracted wide attention. Oregon Agricultural College shows an exhibit of a practical, home-based laboratory program with faculty on hand to explain. Experts propose three-day sessions across multiple departments to educate farmers in domestic science, dairying, poultry, horticulture, and more, though funding was unavailable this year. A Michigan milk can cooperative reduces costs for farmers. A new mail collection device tested on the Illinois Central promises safer, faster handling of bags, with a live pig demonstration proving no damage to mail.
