These courses afford the student opportunity for pursuing study along 

 that line of agriculture which he is especially suited to follow. The farm 

 as it is usually conducted is a unison of many branches of industry; and 

 these courses are so arranged, as to direct the student into that branch 

 which will call forth and centralize his special ability, and at the same time 

 will prepare him to meet successfully the peculiar difficulties of his chosen 

 work. 



In the courses in practical and scientific agriculture a field of work 

 which is unsurpassed by any other college in the United States is open to 

 our students. The national government endowment fund and annual ap- 

 propriations for original experimentation and instruction in Agriculture 

 and the sciences related to this industry, supplemented by liberal state aid, 

 enable the college authorities to make the fields, barns, orchards, and 

 gardens veritable laboratories of extensive and most practical investiga- 

 tion and instruction. Just recently there have been added to the equipment 

 of the college a new chemistry building, a new horticultural laboratory 

 covering over 20,000 square feet of space, a farm of one hundred sixty 

 acres to be used for experimental work in farm crops, and a new science 

 hall. There are at present in course of construction an Animal Hus- 

 bandry laboratory and a dairy barn. These buildings will be modern in 

 every respect, and will make notable additions to the live stock equipment. 



The Agricultural Experiment Station is bringing to light better methods 

 of feeding, more remunerative systems of cropping, improved strains of 

 fruits, and other improvements which bid fair to revolutionize certain 

 branches of Iowa agriculture. These investigations are studied by the 

 students first hand, and through the system of student employment a num-
