The work of tlie farms has included experiments and studies relating 

 to the breeding and feeding of live stock, the production of butter and 

 cheese, field crops, natural and artificial fertilizers, cereals, grasses, 

 forage plants, trees, plant diseases and injurious insects. 



The more strictly scientific side of the work is carried out at the 

 Central Farm at Ottawa, and is organized in thirteen divisions: — (1) 

 Field husbandry; (2) annual husbandly; (3) horticulture; (4) cereals; 

 (5) chemistry; (6) forage plants ; (7) botany; (8) poultry; (9) tobacco;

(10) economic fibre; (11) illustration stations; (12) apiculture; (13) 

 extension and publicity. 



It is impossible to mention in detail the many important results 

 obtained by these experiment farms. Suffice it to say that through 

 them Canada is in possession of a body of exact knowledge of all 

 branches of agricultural industry, accumulated and tested in each 

 climatic division of the Dominion for a period of thirty years. Such 

 knowledge, specific in character, enables Canadian farmers to follow 

 practices demonstrably certain to lead to an increased output.
