PouLTKY Work. 

 Tor a considerable nnmber of years experiments on the best 

 methods of feeding poultry for egg production have been con- 

 ducted in this department. In the spring of 1011 all poultry 

 work was transferred to the head of the poultry department of 

 the college. There has been so much construction work in this 

 department during the past year, however, in the effort to get 

 it properl}^ established and equi])ped, that the poultryman has 

 no report to offer at this time.
