REPORT OF THE CHEMIST. 



To the Director of the Cornell University Agricultural Expert- 

 Dietit Station : 



Sir:— 



I submit herewith a summary of the work of this division of 

 the Experiment Station. 



All the actual analytical work mentioned below was done by 

 Mr. W. P. Cutter, the assistant chemist, or under his immediate 

 supervision. The number of analyses to be made was so large 

 that additional help was necessary in the laboratory of the Station 

 during a small portion of the j^ear. 



Upon Mr. Cutter, also, devolved the preparation of the samples 

 of fodder to be used in testing methods of analysis, and their dis- 

 tribution to the several Experiment Station Chemists, who con- 

 sented to make the analyses for the Association of Official Agri- 

 cultural Chemists ; and much time was given by me in the course 

 of the summer to the preparation of the report to the Association 

 on these results, and a complete bibliography of journal literature 

 on methods of analysis of cattle foods. This work appears in the 

 Annual Report of the Association, now going through the press. 



The material equipment of the laboratory of the Station is essen- 

 tially the same as it was at the time of the last report, no impor- 

 tant additions having been made. 



Yours Respectfully, 



G. C. CAEDWEEE, 



Chemist.
