facture of butter, cheese, cream and other dairy produce. The 

 students here are given every opportunity for practical exer- 

 cises in this technical branch. 



The clinic for the care of animals is in the immediate vicinity 

 and affords a very important opportunity for instruction in 

 veterinary science. 



Apart from the hospital itself the clinic contains operation 

 and demonstration rooms, as well as a workroom for finer his- 

 tological examination. In connection with this should be 

 mentioned several important and quite unusual features of 

 great advantage to the university. In the first place the ex- 

 perimental station of agriculture for the province of Saxony 

 is at the service of all students attending the university here. 

 The character of the ground everywhere in the immediate 

 neighbourhood presents so many variations in its formation 

 and geological structures as to give the students unusua^ 

 facilities in studying this branch of science. For the specia 

 study of fruit growing industry there are gardens of great 

 value, and presenting a large variety of the ordinary fruits. 



Outside of the city itself, but still within easy access are 

 several estates containing herds of horses and cattle, all of 

 which by special arrangement are at the disposal of students 

 for investigation. 



There is thus combined in this one city of Halle in a most 

 unusual manner practically every facility for the complete 

 study of agricultural science. The general departments of the 

 university are opened up to such students in every faculty and 

 each laboratory can be made full use of. The arrangements for 

 studying animals and their produce, dairy and horticulture 

 and arboriculture are unique and the facilities are such as to 

 render its study interesting and beneficial pot only to the 

 student but likewise to the teacher and the investigator no 

 matter how high his station may be.
