APPARATUS AND EQUIPMENT 



Good work in agriculture may be done with very little equipment. 

 It is desirable that the school be equipped for regular laboratory work 

 in botany, chemistry and physics. Ordinarily, the same microscopes 

 and balances that are used for botany and physics may be used in 

 agriculture, so as to avoid the expense of duplication. The Babcock 

 milk-testing outfit furnishes an apparatus to demonstrate centrifugal 

 force to a class in physics. Such of the following equipment as is not 

 already on hand is desirable for a class of ten: 



Two compound microscopes, magnifying to 500 diameters, to cost 

 $18 to $25 each. 



Two balances, weighing to centigrams. 



One spring balance. 



Ten lenses or small magnifying glasses. (Students should own 

 these.) 



One Babcock milk-testing outfit complete, with special bottles for 

 testing skim-milk. May be purchased of the Creamery Package 

 Manufacturing Co., Chicago, 111. 



One saw, square, hammer, etc. 



One graduate, 100 cc. 



Three thermometers. 



Three tall lamp chimneys, or large glass tubes. 



One dozen pint fruit- jars. 



One dozen quart fruit-jars. 



One-half dozen beakers (drinking-glasses may be substituted). 



One dozen four-inch flower-pots, with saucers, and one dozen 

 six-inch. 



Four dozen test tubes. 



Six porcelain crucibles (iron spoons may be used). 



One gasoline burner or laboratory burner (a stove may be used). 



Ten tape measures. 



One set of samples of fertilizing materials.
