The Entomologist's laboratory is furnished with the necessary cases, collections, and apparatus for carrying forward investigations in this department of science, which are more minutely described in the report of that department. The Botanical and Microscopical department is furnished with the latest improvements and quite claborate outfits for carrying on the investigations appertaining to this department (See report of Botanist). The Chemical department is equipped with everything that will facilitate its work; all the apparatus and glassware being of the most approved forms and of the very best quality. The laboratory is so arranged that all of the manipulations may be conducted under well ventilated hoods, and has the latest improvements in the way of filter pumps, blast apparatus, extraction batteries, and batteries for nitrogen determinations. The batteries consist of series of apparatus for conducting a number of analyses of the same kind at one time, somewhat similar to those used in the laboratory of the Department of Agriculture at Washington. Our chemical balances and sets of weights, of which we have three, are the best that can be had. Our facilities for pulverizing and preparing samples for analysis, embrace the best that ingenuity has been able to provide. On the second floor, we have an elegant library and reading room in which are received most of the scientific journals bearing upon various departments of station work, and the greater part of the agricultural papers of the country. We have a library containing quite a full list of the more important works bearing upon the respective departments. The library has been secured primarily for the benefit of the station workers but the students of the University and the public have free access to it. It is expected, however, that the books will be used in the library and left there, so that any one wishing to investigate a subject will have the benefit of the full library at all times. The Director's office, privat laboratory and book-keeper's and stenographers offices are thoroughly equipped with the latest appliances for facilitating the work in their respective departments. Great care is taken to keep everything about the station work properly class |
