minimum necessary TO secure the de-

THE EXPERIMENT STATION
The college farm is under the person
al supervision of Prof. A. L. Blount,
who for twelve years filled the chair of
agriculture In the agricultural college
of Colorado, and has no superior IN the
west in his department. Under his di-
rection the portion OF the farm under
ditch is being prepared for expert
ments in horticulture and agriculture.
Through the farm from east TO west
runs an avenue leading from Mesilla
Park up TO the college building. This
avenue will be lined with trees Al
ready great variety Of fruit trees have
been set out of which the greatest care
will be taken and accurate records of
the results will be kept. To insure
against the failure of water supply from
the ditch, the board of regents has let
n contract for gang of six wells from
which the water will be pumped into n
reservoir. Water will also be forced
into a reservoir on the Mesa for the
purpose of irrigating the crops sur.
rounding the college buildings The
pump used for this purpose will be the
Pulsometer, which is being SO satisfac-
torily used for irrigation purposes.
Here on the farm the students will re-
ceive practical instruction in horticul-
ture and agriculture: and here worthy
industrious young men working TO Sc
cure an education will be given the
opportunity TO work and receive COM
pensation TO aid them In their laudable
ambition.
LIBRARY AND HEADING ROOM
Not least among the advantages af-
forded students In quest of a broad
mental culture is the library and read.
ing room. The library already consists
of upwards of one thousand volumes and
is being constantly increased by iudic-
ious purchases OF standard works in all
of literature, beside the
reading room is supplied with all the
standard periodicals, enabling those
who wisely use its privileges to keep
pace with the current thought in science,
literature and art, These are open TO
students and the faculty will endeavor
to guide them in the correct and profit
able use of these advantages.
BOARDING.
On this subject the recently issued
catalogue says:
"As yet the college can do nothing
at furnishing board Students and
teachers have heretofore found board
in private families ut reasona BILE rates,
and 1t is hoped and believed that they
will continue to find ample accommo-
dations of this kind. IL Is the univer-
sal testimony of educators that homes
In private families are the very best for
students Some take rooms and board
themselves at reduced cost This often
works very satisfactorily.
'"During the past year the price of
board with room has been from SIG to
$40 per month. Occasionally, where
one person required room alone. IL
has been ss5 per month. Where stu
dents propose TO furnish their own
rooms they should provide for this be-
fore leaving home. The freight on
such articles as may be needed and can |
generally be spared from home is very
light. To either buy or rent is not
economical.
Within reach of the college build
ng. are houses for rent at reasonable
'rices. Some families have resided in
'hese during the school year on pur-
bose to give their children an oppor-
unity TO attend college. Where prac-
