Annually two volumes of about eight or nine numbers have been published, containing abstracts of publications of the agricultural experiment stations in the United States and in foreign countries, notes on the various stations, editorials and articles on special topics in agricultural science, and kindred contributions. Private subscribers to the Record are enrolled by the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, at the rate of $2 per annum, payable in advance. Bulletins.

Several hundreds of them have been issued by the Superintendent of Documents at nominal prices to some and gratuitously to libraries, educational institutions, exchanges, newspapers, state and foreign officers interested in agricultural work, and to persons in active coöperation with the Department of Agriculture. Generally speaking, they are technical bulletins. They include organization lists of the experiment stations and colleges, proceedings of the Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations, and a general miscellany of scientific studies. The first bulletin was on the Organization of the agricultural experiments in the United States.
