PRACTICAL FARM WORK 

 Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report: 



The past season at the Farm of the State Livestock Sanitary Board 

 has been a generally successful one, especially good crops of hay, 

 wheat, corn, silage, carrots and turnips being harvested. 



During the past year the number of cattle on the Farm has been 

 materially reduced, while the stock of hogs has been increased to 

 enable the Laboratory to meet the greater demands for hog cholera 

 serum. 



The management of the Farm has assumed control of the boarding- 

 house for the farm hands, the house having been thoroughly renovated 

 and refurnished throughout, and placed in the hands of a competent 

 housekeeper. 



The farm help has been organized with a working foreman in direct 

 charge of all field and stock work, with a herdsman and helper, a 

 hog man, and three teamsters under him. 



The policy of placing out young bred dairy bulls, of which there 

 are a limited number, in the hands of farmers, has been adopted,
