FARM REPORT.

Dr. S. H. Peabody, Begent, The farm receipts for the three months ending Sept. 1st were. .$ 380 50 The expenses for same quarter were 1,030 18 The receipts were exceptionally small, while the harvest work made the expenditures large. The work is, in general, well up for the season. We harvested about 2,500 bushels of oats, and 250 tons of hay. The oats were badly "lodged" by wind and rain, and not all were secured. We have threshed a little over 2,400 bushels and have some in shock. We have also threshed about 210 bushels of timothy seed. Our corn promises a good yield. Pastures are now suifering from the dry weather. The farm stock has kept in good health and, generally, in good condition. The continued depression in the improved cattle interest and the little demand for such cattle are the most discouraging circumstances we have to meet. Respectfully submitted, G. E. MORROW, Professor of Agriculture.

The vouchers of the Experiment Station were referred to the Auditing Committee.
