Copies of our present laws for the regulation of the trade in Com- 

 mercial Fertilizers may be had by all interested, on application, at 

 the Massachusetts State Agricultural Experiment Station, Amherst, 



Arrangements are made, as in previous years, 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 

 substances — 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 without a charge for services rendered. Application 

 of private parties for analyses of substances, free of charge, will 

 receive a careful consideration, 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. 



All parcels and communications sent to "The Massachusetts State 

 Experiment Station" must have express and postal charges prepaid, 

 to receive attention.
