REPORT OF THE VETERINARIAN The work on veterinary science in connection with the Experiment Station did not differ very materially from that of last year, it being carried on mostly in the form of correspondence. There were several pathological specimens sent to the Station for examination in order to determine the nature of some disease among the live stock in different sections of the state, but very little could be done in that line, there being no facilities for pathological or bacteriological investigations. Respectfully submitted, M. JACOB, Veterinarian. REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN There are on the shelves of the library at the end of the year 2,400 bound volumes, not counting over two hundred duplicate reports of various institutions. Of this number, 88 volumes obtained by subscription were bound during the year, and 75 were donated or purchased. The journals subscribed for are as follows: American Gardening, Annales Agronomiques, Annals of Botany, Botanical Gazette, Botanischer Jahresbericht, Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club, Farm Implement News, Gardeners' Chronicle, Gardening, Journal of the Chemical Society, Die Landwirtschaftlichen Versuchs-Stationen, Revue générale de Botanique, Zeitschrift für Pflanzenkrankheiten, Zeitschrift für Wissenschaftliche Mikroskopie. In addition to these about one hundred periodicals have been received gratis, including a large number of the best agricultural papers. Some thousands of pamphlets are also on file. Interest in the work of the Station continues to be manifested by increasing demands for its publications, and as a consequence the mailing list is rapidly growing. The addresses now number 10,555, and are distributed as follows: An effort is made to comply with requests for literature as fully as possible. When the information asked is not contained in any of our own bulletins, it can often be found in bulletins of other stations, and extra copies of these are filed by subjects to be used on such occasions.
