Instruction is also given in Dairying, Veterinary Science and Practice, Chemistry, Geology and Mineralogy, Forestry, Horticulture, Land Surveying and Building Construction, Book-keeping, Engineer's, Smith's Carpenter's, Wheelwright's, and Harnessmaker's Work, Riding, Ambiance, and various other subjects necessary to the Young Colonist.
Many Students of the College are settled in almost every part of the Empire, with whom, as well as with other trustworthy Correspondents able to render valuable assistance to new-comers, regular communication is kept up.
The work of the Institution has been periodically recognised as of great value by Statesmen of the highest rank at home and in the Colonies.
