On the first of each month samples of water were collected from 
Castle brook, which crosses the Station farm, and also from the 
outlet of the main drain from the experimental plats. The solids, 
chlorine, free ammonia and nitrates were determined in these 
waters, furnishing us some indication of the fertilizing matters 
which are being removed from the soil.
