Report of Chemist 
To the Director of the Storrs Agricultural Experiment 
Station: 
Sir:—The work of this department during the past year 
has been to analyze various samples of feeds, cheese, butter, 
soils, etc. 
In addition to the general analytical work required of 
this department, an experiment was started to determine the 
relative amount of nutrients in different varieties of en- 
‘silage corn both before and after putting in the silo. This 
work has not been completed because of the inaccessibility 
of the samples in the silo. 
Considerable time has been spent in determining the 
amount of carbon dioxide in the air of incubators and under 
sitting hens. A report of this work appears elsewhere. 
A start has been made in field experiments to determine 
the effect of lime on crop production and soil fertility. 
Respectfully submitted, :
