Among llio subjects discussed were •Lowering the cost of milk produc¬ tion'/" "The secret of horso power," "Fgg Production" and "Lowering of I'ig Jlortality". Jlr, Walton says: "Charts of the digestive systems of aniinals were showii and the chemical analysis of feeds expkiined. Culling Uie ffuck and herd was a keynote of tbo Hchoiil, anil much time was given to   record   keeping  on   the   tarm.
One of the important things laought out nt the school was that proper weeding will lower the cost of thu l.roduclion of milk, eggs, and pork from 20  to 40  per cent.
