It has been the practice of the writer to give a brief course of lectures on the History of Agriculture to Junior andS enior Students in the Four-Y ear Course in Agriculture Jin order to cement together the reading in the library which they are required to do. (A ppendix A). A still briefer course of lectures has been given on Rural Economics in order to help the students in -work ing oat apian in farm management. (A ppendix C). At the close of the spring term of this year the students asked permission to have the lectures printed, and an edition limited to one hundred copies has been issued by them. If any of these copies should fall into the hands of any one besides the writers students, he trusts they -will take into consideration the purpose for which the matter has been prepared. There is no special reason for printing the lectures on the History of Agriculture and the lectures on Rural Economics tegether, except the desire of the students to have these lectures between the same covers. No one can appreciate more fully than the writer the imperfect character of this sketch of agricultural progress, and the author promises himself that should the proper leisure come to him, he will endeavor at some future time to give the History of Agriculture a setting more in keeping with its importance. June 3, 1899.
