dens and iields, chemical and physical laboratories, and carried out 

 zealously the objects of experimental stations. 



The first of these experimental institutions was established in Eng- 

 land in 1842 by Mr. Lawes, on his estate of liothamstead, and this served 

 as a pattern for similar ones in Germany. The following list comprises 

 the agricultural experimental stations in Europe at the present time:

The work of these stations is by no means exclusively theoretical. 

 Practical purposes had called for their establishment and have demanded 

 their continuance. The station of Halle controls 8 deposits of manures, 

 and makes several hundred analyses every year. The station at Bonn 

 superintends 34 deposits and manure factories ; that at Dahme controls 

 2 deposits. Ida Marienhiitte manages a superphosphate factory and the 

 manufacture of sulphuric acid. All stations perform technical and chem- 

 :»cal tests in the interests of farmers, such as analysis of soil, &c., to a 

 great extent, and derive therefrom a part of the means for their main- 

 tenance. Among the tasks undertaken are various examinations of soil ; 

 the physiology of plants and animals -, the chemical and physical prop-
