 second annual report is exhausted, while of Bulletins Nos. 16, 17 

 and 18, and of the first annual report there are still a limited num- 

 ber on hand .for distribution. 



Arrangements are made to attend to the examination of objects of 

 general interest to the farming community, to the full extent of 

 existing resources. Requests for analyses of substauces^-as fodder 

 articles, fertilizers, etc. — coming through officers of . agricultural 

 societies and farmers' clubs within the state, will receive hereafter, 

 as in the past, first attention, and in the order that the applications 

 arrive at the office of the Station. The results will be returned with- 

 out a charge for the services rendered. Application of private parties 

 for analyses of substances, free of charge, will receive a careful con- 

 sideration, whenever the results promise to be of a more general 

 interest. For obvious reasons no work can be carried on at the 

 Station, of which the results are not at the disposal of the managers 

 for publication, if deemed advisable in the interest of the citizens of 

 the state.

 Station" must have express and postal charges prepaid, to receive
