STURTEVANT, Edward Lewis, agriculturist, born in Boston, Massachusetts, 23 January, 1842. He was graduated at Bowdoin in 1863, and served during that year as captain in the 24th Maine volunteers, after which he was graduated at the medical department of Harvard in 1866. Dr. Sturtevant settled in South Framingham, where he devoted himself to agricultural pursuits on a liberal scale, and to the cultivation of favorite breeds of dairy cattle, also contributing frequent papers to the press and delivering lectures on topics relating to his chosen work. In 1881 he was called to the charge of the New York agricultural station at Geneva, where he remained for six years. He is a fellow of the American association for the advancement of science, and was president of the Society for the promotion of agricultural science in 1887. Besides making large contributions to agricultural papers, he edited the "Scientific Farmer " in 1876-'9, the North American Ayrshire Register" and the annual "Reports of the New York Agricultural Experiment Station" (1882-'7), and, with Joseph N. Sturtevant, published " The Dairy Cow," a monograph on the Ayrshire breed of cattle (Boston, 1875).
