SPECIAL INVESTIGATION FOR THE PUBLIC. 



A large number of specimens of marls, mucks and unusual soil forma- 

 tions have been examined and analyzed in response to individual appli-

 tendance on the farmers' institutes last winter, but we attended the 

 round-up at the College in February and gave an address on Beet Sugar.
