STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE 
BULLETIN NO. 5. 
EXPLANATORY. 
The material in this bulletin was ordered printed by 
the State Board of Agriculture at its December meeting, 
1887; and in connection with this it was thought 
best to make a general announcement with reference to 
the work of the Experiment Station. 
The departments now recognized and organized as 
the Experiment Station are : 
1. Agriculture. 
2. Horticulture, Botany and Entomology. 
3. Chemistry. 
. 4. Meteorology and Irrigation Engineering. 
5. Veterinary Science. 
These Sections, wishing to give information or direc¬ 
tion with reference to their work, have each prepared a 
brief circular. 
The public in their communication with the Station 
with reference to work or information, will please be 
guided by these circulars. 
Bulletins will be issued at least quarterly, corre¬ 
sponding to the months of October, January, April and 
J uly. 
If there be matter of special importance, it will be 
issued at once, without waiting for the regular quarterly 
issue. 
Address all correspondence to 
The Agricultural Experiment Station, 
Fort Collins, Colorado.
