Ret)ort of the Apriculturist. 



To the Director of the Cornell University ^Agricultural Experiment 



Station : 



Sir. — Tke work of the agricultural division has continued in 

 the same lines as in past years. The more especial problems 

 studied during the year have been, in relation to the amount 

 of food required to produce a given amount of milk and butter; 

 in relation to the raising of winter lambs; various problems in 

 regard to creaming and churning; and the production and care 

 of farm manures. Work has also begun in the culture of tobacco 

 and in some new methods of constructing silos and prt serving 

 ensilage. Three bulletins have been published during the year 

 and a fourth is ready for the press. BuUetias published are 

 Nos. 39, " Creaming and Aerating Milk," 40, " ilemoving Tassels 

 from Corn," and 47, '' Feeding Lambs and Pigs." There has been 

 no change in the working force of this division during the year 

 and the success of the work done is largely due to the iidclity 

 and earnestness of Messrs. Watson and Eice. 



Eespectfully submitted.
