The Experiment Station was established in 1888 as an institution to be used by scientists to conduct scientific agricultural experiments to discover ways of improving and increasing vegetable and animal food products. The results of these experiments are presented in a series of bulletins, circulars and other publications that are published at regular intervals. The early reports were presented in the form of bulletins. The later reports are presented in the form of mimeograph series. The contents of the publications are basically the same.
