EXPERIMENT STATION WORK. 



The chemical work in the Experiment Station has been equally pressing, 

 the time of the Assistant in Chemistry being fully occupied. A part of 

 this work may be outlined as follows: 



1. Fertilizer Analysis. The collecting in the open market of samples 

 of all kinds of fertilizers offered for sale in the State, analysis of the same 

 and tabulating the results for publication in the Bulletin for information 

 of farmers and gardeners, demand a large amount of work and skill when 

 we consider that some sixty specimens were collected. The fact that the 

 fee for license to sell each fertilizer is $20 is an agreeable consideration. 



2. Analysis of milk, butter and dairy products from the Farm Depart- 

 ment in solution of many practical questions, requires much and careful 

 work. More than 100 specimens have been analyzed during the year. 



3. The analysis of grasses, fodders, silage, feeding stuffs of many kinds 

 required by the Farm Department, has brought a large amount of work. 

 Some fifty specimens have been analyzed in this way. 



4. Analyses in smaller number have been made for the Horticultural, 

 Bacteriological and Entomological Departments. 



5. Analysis of drainage water to determine the loss of raanural matter 

 from the soil.
