PREFACE

The law directs that the course of study and the equipment of all Farm-Life
schools shall be subject to the approval of the State Superintendent of
Public Instruction. This bulletin contains the courses of study in agriculture
and related subjects and the minimum of general equipment for these schools
that will be approved by him. It also contains suggested additional equip-
ment needed for work in the special departments and suggested text-books,
reference books, and lists of books and bulletins for the library.

It would be neither economical nor wise to start one of these schools with-
out the minimum of equipment found by experience, by careful investigation,
and by consultation with experienced teachers and experts in other schools of
this sort to be necessary for the successful teaching and training required of
such schools. Therefore the minimum general equipment contained herein,
together with the other equipment in buildings, laboratories, land, etc., desig-
nated by the law, must be provided by each school before the State Superin-
tendent will recommend the State apportionment by the State Board of Edu-
cation for its maintenance.

More than a year ago Prof. E. A. Hodson, of the Department of Agronomy
of the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, was em-
ployed to take charge of the preparation of this bulletin. In the preparation
of the bulletin he has carefully examined the courses of study in similar
schools in this and all other states. He has conferred with the members of
the Committee on Vocational Hducation of the Department of the High
School Principals of the North Carolina Teachers’ Assembly, receiving val-
uable suggestions and criticisms from time to time from the members of that
committee; he has consulted experienced and successful teachers of agricul-
ture and kindred subjects in this and other states; he made a special visit
to Cornell University, to get the benefit of the great library and the assistance
of noted specialists in agricultural instruction there in the preparation of the
courses of study and in compiling the lists of books and of the suggested
equipment. During the year he has visited most of the Farm-Life schools in
this State and observed their work. During the summer of 1915, in a confer-
ence in my office with the principals and teachers of agriculture, and the
heads of the departments of Home Hconomics of these Farm-Life schools, the
courses of study and the equipment for these schools were discussed and
criticised, and shaped, as far as possible, to conform to the experience of
these teachers and to their suggestions for meeting through these schools the
present practical needs of the North Carolina counties and communities in
which they are located. The revised course of study in agriculture for the
Farm-Life schools, contained in this bulletin, was the outcome of these confer-
ences, and that course and the prescribed minimum of equipment herein, were
heartily approved by the conference.

It is hoped that this bulletin will serve the purpose for which it has been
prepared by rendering valuable assistance in properly equipping and in wisely
arranging and directing the work of the Farm-Life schools of the State. It is
exceedingly important that these schools should be properly equipped, pro-
vided with thoroughly qualified and experienced teachers, and have their

work shaped to meet the needs of country life and to prepare country boys
and girls for making the most out of country life and country things. Upon
the success of these schools depends the establishment of other schools of this
sort in other counties of this State. Upon their success depends the success
of this hopeful movement to adapt the work of the country school to the
needs of the country people and to improve country life through the more
efficient training of each generation of country children.

The list of those who have rendered valuable assistance in the preparation
of this bulletin is too long to enumerate. I desire, however, to make general
acknowledgment here of grateful appreciation to all of them.

Very truly yours,
J. Y. JOYNER,
State Superintendent of Public Instruction.

RALEIGH, N. C., September, 1915.

INTRODUCTION

x

The purpose of this bulletin is to insure a uniform course of study in
Agriculture in the Farm-Life High Schools; to offer suggestions regarding
equipment for the schools, and to give such references and details concerning
the work as to relieve the teacher as much as possible.

The course is intended to be elastic enough to meet the needs of the
schools in every section of the State. If the school is located in a county
where, for example, truck farming is carried on extensively, the teacher
should arrange to give more emphasis to this course than to some of the
other courses which are not of so much importance in that section.

The work has been outlined to meet the needs of the boy or girl who is
expecting to take an elementary course in Agriculture but does not intend to
pursue the work farther than the high school. The course is arranged so
that a student who is preparing for college may take the regular high school
course and as much of the Agricultural work as possible. To prepare the
farm boys to make better farmers and farmer citizens; to help the boy to see
that in choosing Agriculture as a life’s pursuit he is choosing as noble a
profession as any other; to arouse the interest of the student in the work-
ings of Nature in order that he may have a more comprehensive view of
life and life processes; to improve the social conditions of the rural districts
and to relieve the drudgery of the farm by the introduction of machinery—all
of these things have been in mind in making out this work and it is hoped
that these schools will be able to go far in solving these problems.

Several changes in the course as outlined last year are needed to accommo-
date the teacher. The insects which attack the various crops will be studied
with the crop, instead of giving a course in Entomology; Manual Training
will be given as a supplement to other courses instead of a separate course;
and Mechanical Drawing has been omitted from the course at present.

The author of this bulletin wishes to express thanks to Prof. C. L. Newman
for many valuable suggestions; and to Prof. H. R. Fulton, Professor of Bot-
any in the A. & M. College: Prof. M. E. Sherwin, Professor of Soils in the
A. & M. College; Mr. A. G. Oliver, Poultryman in the Extension Department,
and Mr. A. J. Reed, Dairyman in the Experiment Station, for suggestions re-
garding the equipment and courses in their respective Departments. ’

The Library

A number of reference books is given in the outline of each course to be
used by both the student and teacher.

Select the books for the school with reference to the needs of the com-
munity.

Catalogue and index all books and bulletins in order that the student may
easily find what he wants and to insure them against loss.

Pamphlet holders will be found very useful for keeping bulletins.

For convenience in using, classify bulletins by subject instead of by number
or by state.

Obtain lists of bulletins for free distribution from:
‘U. S. Department of Agriculture, Division of Publications, Washington, D. C.
North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station and A. & M. College, West
Raleigh, N. C.

and other Southern Stations (see page 59 for addresses).
United States bureau of Education, Washington, D. C.

Get the monthly list of publications by request from the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, Division of Publications.
Have the Health Bulletin, issued by the North Carolina State Board of Health,

Raleigh, N. C., sent regularly to the school. :
Some agricultural papers should be received regularly. Agricultural papers
are usually of only temporary interest and will not need to be filed.
A list of publications from which to select is given below, and these may
be obtained through G. E. Stechert & Co., at the prices quoted:

The price given is for standard bred fowls. The difference in the cost
of ordinary stock and good stock can soon be made by the sale of eggs

at fancy prices for hatching.

35

The breeds recommended are general purpose breeds and are given in
order of preference for this State.
Barred Plymouth Rock.
White Wyandotte.
White or Buff Plymouth Rock.
’ Rhode Island Red (single or rose comb).
Orpington (buff or white).
1 colony house (see Fig. 10) with or without floor (to be made by stu-
dents).
2 feed hoppers (see Fig. 12), (to be made by students).
2 drinking fountains (to be made by students).

Punch a hole with a large nail about 1% in. from the top of an old
paint can. Provide a pan about two inches deep to hold the inverted can,
which when filled with water furnishes a constant supply of water.
Drinking fountains for small chickens may be made in the same way, but
use a tomato can and a smaller pan for a container.

Coops for each brood of chickens hatched (see Figs. 8 and 9), (to be
made by students).

Practice Work for Course in Poultry Raising

1. SETTING THE HEN:

a. The hen should be placed in a quiet and isolated place, so that no
other hen can lay in her nest.

b. Sitting boxes should be about 7 inches high, with the straw arranged
in a saucer shape to enable the hen to step into the nest without
danger of breaking the eggs.

c. Hens should be moved to sitting quarters after dark and allowed to
remain on china eggs or some eggs not intended for hatching for
at least 24 hours. Then after they have thoroughly quieted down
place them on the sitting eggs.

d. The hen should be carefully dusted during the period of incubation:
First, immediately after setting her, and second, three days before
hatching. This precaution is absolutely necessary to prevent lice
from getting on the young chicks.

2. MAKE INSECT POWDER.

(Caution the students regarding the handling of gasoline near fire and
against the danger of handling carbolic acid.)

Three parts gasoline, 1 part carbolic acid; mix, then add as much plaster
of paris as is required to make a very stiff dough. Spread in layers
about 1%4 inch thick to dry. After the mixture has been dried
thoroughly mash into a powder and bottle for use.

3. CARE oF YOUNG CHICKS:
a. Construction of coops. (See Figs. 8 and 9.)
b. Cover floor of coop with % inch of clean sand.
c. Whitewash the coop with a mixture or 3 quarts of whitewash to 1 table-
spoon full of “Creolin.” (This gives a sanitary odor and is very
effective in keeping lice away.)

36

d. Place the hen and chicks in the coop and allow the chicks to pick
around before giving them any food. (A chick should not be fed for ~
48 hours after hatching, since the yolk of the egg, which is in the
young chick’s stomach when hatched, must be assimilated before the
chick can handle any other food; feeding immediately after hatch-
ing is likely to give the chick indigestion.) Keep the hen confined
for the first week, but allow the chicks to run out.

e. Food for the first week:
Keep finely broken oyster shells available.
Hard boiled eggs and rolled oat meal mashed together dry.
Thoroughly cooked “Johnny cake,’ and never any wet dough.
Water or fresh skim milk should be kept before them all of the time.
Feed often (about every four hours) just enough for them to clean

up. Keep the chicks anxious to pick up what is given them.

f. Food for the second week:
Cracked wheat, screenings, or mixed chick feed.
Mash, composed of wheat bran 2 parts by weight, ground corn and

oats 1 part, wheat middlings 1 part.

Feed in dry hoppers.

g. Clean coops once a week,

4. CoLony HowussEs:

a. If floored, cover with sand, If not floored, cover the dirt with 6 inches
of pine needles or straw.

b. Whitewash, using the same mixture mentioned above.

c. Clean dropping board once a week. (Put the droppings in barrels and
cover with a few handfuls of land plaster, to retain the ammonia;
keep in a dry place. (Hen manure makes a very valuable fertilizer.)

d. The perches (which should be removable) must be covered with kero-
sene or scalded every two weeks.

5. THe Dust BATH:

Make boxes 14x18 inches and 10 inches deep. Put in about 6 inches of
clean dust mixed with a teacupful of sulphur.

The wire covering the feed should be stiff
woven wire, with about l-inch mesh. The
hooks at AA should extend through the
top, so that the wire hangs on the feed and
drops down as the feed is eaten. The hook

shown at B is provided to allow the wire

to be fastened up putting the food out of
reach of the fowls.

WORK BENCH
(Drawing and descriptions furnished by Prof. M. T. Fullan, Auburn, Ala.)

Work benches may be constructed by the schools at a much lower cost than
if purchased in the market, and such benches will be as strong and as service-
able as any others. Besides, this will afford constructive work in carpentry
which will be of simple nature, giving some idea of construction, at the same
time effecting a considerable saving which may be applied to some other
equipment.

Fig. 1 gives a view of the finished bench equipped with a simple vise, but
any vise which can be obtained may be fitted to the bench. On another sheet
will be found details of vises which can be made easily and at a low cost.
“Quick-acting” vises are very desirable and where the funds are available it
is recommended to purchase them. However, a strong and serviceable vise
can be built by the class which will serve the purpose very well, although it
is much slower in action.

Fig. 2 shows how the supports are built up, and Figs. 3 and 4 give respec-
tively the side and end view of the finished bench. A bench of this type was
constructed by two men (teachers) in four hours, at a cost of $1.50 for the
material. This included 40 cents for a screw for vise.

This type of bench is to be placed against the wall. The tool back may be
omitted when the bench is placed out in the room and another vise may be
fitted on the opposite side, diagonally across from the vise shown. It is noted
that there are two receptacles formed at each end of the bench which will
serve to hold tools. These may be fitted with the hinged cover if desired (not
shown in drawing). Also, a shelf may be placed across underneath the bench
resting on the 1” x 4” braces, This will be found of service to take care of the
longer tools or pieces of stock material, thus keeping them off of the working
surface.

The back may be made to suit the taste of the constructor and is intended
to be a support for the tool rack. It is stiffened by battens 1” x 3” x 18”.

WALL TOOL CABINET
(Drawing and Description furnished by Prof. M. T. Fullan, Auburn, Ala.)

A wall cabinet for holding tools can be easily made and is much better in
many ways than drawers for this purpose. Edged tools, when placed in a
drawer, are likely to suffer, due to the edges coming in contact with other
tools. This objection is not found in the wall cabinet, as screw hooks can be
placed so as to prevent the edges coming in contact.

Fig. 1 shows the cabinet with tools placed in it and is given as a suggestion
for arranging tools in a similar cupboard. The dimensions are shown in the
views in Figs. 4, 5, and 6, while the details of construction are given in
Figs. 2 and 3.

The sides are planed and edged to the measurements given and the top and
bottom joined to the sides with the “house” or “gain” joint shown in Fig, 3,
gluing and nailing the pieces or fastening them with screws. The back is to
be made of two pieces of material fitted as indicated in the drawing.

The door is built with a frame and panel. The frame is joined as shown
in Fig. 2, with the slip-mortise and tenon joint. The inner face is grooved
out to receive the panel, which is about 5-16” thick. All the four joints of the
frame are to be properly fitted and the groove made afterwards. Then, the
frame should be put together temporarily and measurement made for the
panel, allowing about a sixteenth of an inch all around the panel for swelling
of the lumber. A panel fitted too tight will invariably cause the frame to
become broken in damp weather. The joints should then be coated with glue
and the frame put together with the panel in position and clamped. Before

58

gluing up, the panel and frame should be planed and smoothed, ready for
stain. The door is secured to the body by means of butt hinges, as shown in
the drawing. A lock may be added in the form of a rim cupboard lock or a
simple hasp and staple with the padlock.

After the surface of the cabinet is well worked with sandpaper, using Nos.
1%, 1, 0, a coat of oil stain is applied. After 24 hours a coat of wax or
varnish is given the entire surface.
