THE DAIRY BUILDING.
The broad acres of the western farm, the
diaries of New England and New York and the
centuries of experience of the hereditary dairy.
men of Switzerland and the old world are to be
brought into close competition in the dairy
building, which is 20U feet long and 100 feet
wide and has been constructed at a cost OF
$4,000. On the first floor in the most con.
spicuous place will be displayed the butter

feet, the Model Dairy and Dairy School will be
conducted. Four hundred spectators can be
seated in the amphtheater seats which surround
this ROOM The cheese exhibits will be display ed
on the second floor, and here. too. will be con.
structed a cafe in which dairy products Of var.
ious kinds form a conspicuous place on the menu
and where the call Of the north countryman for
his limburger and the demand Of the Swiss OF
the Frenchman for his frontage de Brie' will
each receive instant compliance.
THE FORESTRY BUILDING.

ings in its construction and design is the for.
estry building. 1t is almost incredible to con-
ceive that building 500 feet long and 200 feet
wide can be built without nail or an ounce OF
metal In its construction, yet this feat has been
accomplished in the forestry building This

is one of the strongest buildings on the ground,
and its location on the very verge Of the water
makes it necessary for it to withstand all the
strength Of the fierce lake winds that prevail
all the winter. The rustic is naturally the idea
which has been uppermost at all times in the
construction Of the forestry building and the
effect accomplished is one certainly difficult To
surpass. A colonnsde consisting Of a series OF
columns composed of three tree trunks twenty
five feet in length and from sixteen to twenty
inches in diameter surrounds the building and
supports the roof of the veranda. In every in
stance tho bark in its native state has been con-
scientiously preserved on the timbers and
scarcely at any point can the trace of the wood
