lp
class work are all well equipped. The ,
agricultural laboratories are equipped
with the best specimens of farm ma- at
chinery, such' as. improved plows, 1(
reapers, binders, traction engines, farm s
levels, fiber-testing machin'es, appa- ei
ratus for laying tile drains and for a
making cement fence posts, and the a
necessary apparatus for -making anal- r
yses of soils said fertilizers. e
In' the Animal Industry department h
the laboratory contains modern cream a
separators, churns, Babcock testers, c
sterilizers, milk coolers and other ap
paratus used by the students in cream
ery work. In the horticultural labor
atory are found models of fruits, flow- I
ers" and vegetables and connected with t
the department is a large garden, in I
which may 'be found all varieties of a
fruits and vegetables which grow in
Louisiana. TIhe tnost recent addition
to the equipment is a lartge modern t
hot house.
The department of Veterinary 1
Science has plaster models of horses,
manikins, suiirgical Instruments, charts,
and is constantly supplied with living
animals, which are brought to the
clinic for medical or surgical treat
ment.
The chemical laboratory is,: perhaps.,
the best etilulpped one in the south.
The apparatus is of the best quality
ahd the most approved design. It con
tains 'a large laboratory for * general
and ihalytical chemistry and special
laboratories for agricultural chemis
try, electr6-chemistry, sugar chemis
try, organ~l chemistry and engineer
ing chemistry, and four small labora
tories for research work. The labor
atory will accoimbriodte 'about 375 stu
dents. Much of the appa'ratus can. be
mianufactfired in the laboratory.
The Civit Engineering laboratory
contaiins .dr.awing rooms, dark rooms,
and instriiction rootis to accommto
date 'i20 'st fdents, , All the best esigi
t neering ihstruments are kept, such as
; trarrsits, `compasses, levels, th odolltc,
plane tables, planimeter, rods, tapes
and chains.
The Mechanial Engineering labor-.
atory has accommodation for about
100 students. It contains several
n steam engines, steam turbines, boil
- ers of various types and designs, and
r a refrigeration plant, and all other
e apparatus necessary for the study ofi
- mechanical engineering, as well as gas
engines, oil engines, gas producers,
it hydraulic machinery of various kinds,
na 50,000 pound strength-testing ma
chine and numerous instruments
about which the layman knows noth
ing.
The laboratory of the department of
Electrical Engineering has just been
:h transferred to the basement of Heard
in Hall. It contains all the latest models
of of direct-current and alternating-cu"
in rent generators and motors of the
n i latest commercial types and made by
rn the best companies. The laboratories
are also equipped with transformers,
ry batteries, voltmeters, wattmeters, gal
s, vanometers and many other pieces of
ts, apparatus necessary to a well ap
,g pointed laboratory.
he The Mechanical Arts laboratory has
Lt- accommodations for about 200 stu
dents in the drawing rooms and in
ps, the wood shops, foundry alnd forge
th. shops. The wdod shop is fitted up
ity with full sets of hand tools for wood
n- work, grindstones for grinding tools,
ral turning lathes, surfacers, wood trim
lal mrers, etc. The foundry is equipped for
is- melting iron, brass and other metals i
is- and for making castings. The forge
etr- shop contains 16 forges with electrical
ra- blowers, each forge supplied with an
or- vils and full sets of tools.
tu- The Botanical laboratory includes a
be sufficient supply of compound micro
scopes arind all other apparatus neces

Experiment Station Work
SERVICE IN SCIENTIFIC AND FI
AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION.
1. The Louisiana Experiment Sta
tions are represented either in the list e=
O(f officers or on committee assign
moents in nearly all leading National
Agricultural and Scientific Associa
tions, and these members contribute If
some of their time to official work,
committee work or preparation of pa
pers for these organizations.
HOG PRODUCTION.
Some of the most valuable work of
the stations has been done in deter- 1
n mining the cuecession of crops best i
suited for cheap production of pork:
1. In determining the best winter l
grazing crops for hogs,
2. In denionstrating the increase i
soil fertility from the pasture method I
of feeding crops.
3. They have demonstrated that
a crop of corn and cow peas together
grazed by hogs is worth twice as much
as a crop of corn alone fed to hogs.
4. They have demonstrated that an
acre of sweet potatoes, followed by a
crop of oats, will produce as much
pork as would 75 bushels of corn.
5. They have demonstrated that all
of the colored breeds of hogs thrive
in the state.
6. They have demonstrated that
mn much of the poorer uplands planted
al to peanuts and potatoes will produce
is. more pork than will 'much of the rich
alluvial land when 'devoted to corn.
7. The Experiment Stations origi
nated the organization of Boys' Pig

FEED STUFF AND FERTILIZER
CONTROL.
The samples of feed stuffs, fortiliz

Board of Agriculture are analyzed by
the Experiment S.ations, and the
farmers are thus protected from fraud
in these products.
2. A great iany analyses are made
for the benefit of the farmers of the
state.
EXHIBITS.
1. The stations have furnished a
large part of the agrl 2ultiiral exhib
