CHAMPAIGN, March 7,1885. Dr. S. II. Peabody, Regent: D u r i n g the last three m o n t h s the e x t r e m e cold weather and tbe deep snow have prevented a b o u t all farm labor except t h e care of live stock. With a very few exceptions t h e s e h a v e d o n e well. More t h a n t h e u s u a l quantity of food h a s been required. We have been able to give comfortable shelter to all t h e stock. D u r i n g the t h r e e m o n t h s the sales have a m o u n t e d to $496.58. The chief items a r e : H a y , -$153.35; b u t t e r a n d milk. $122.50; cattle, $139; old horse, $60. T h e p a y m e n t s for t h e q u a r t e r have been $1,044.41. Of t h i s s u m $558.50 were for stock p u r c h a s e d and on hand, including steers a n d calves for experimental feeding, twelve Cotswold ewes, a n d steers for ordinary feeding. We h a v e n o w p a r e bred or grade Ayrshire, Hereford, Holstein and Short H o r n s t e e r s , n e a r one year old, for feeding in comparative test of t h e s e breeds. We have a n u m b e r of young Short H o r n bull calves for sale, and can now also s p a r e S h o r t H o r n and grade cows a n d heifers. We can sell h a y , but shall need grain. • On t h e whole, I t h i n k we are in good condition. Respectfully. G. E. MORROW, Professor oj Agriculture.
