THE STATE DAIRY SCHOOL.
NFrom the Landmark
a bill will be introduced at the com
ing session providing for an approprla-
ton to the state agricultural college
ment of an agricultural building to he
used as a dairy school and for other
teaching and investigation in asricul-
ture.
This movement has the hearty APP
| probation of such bodies as the YER
! mont Dairymen's association. the Yer
| mont Horticultural society and the Yer
mont farmers legislative assembly.
The Landmark has had the opportu-
nifty to learn that il Is the wonder OF
other States that Vermont does nothing
| Mt all for its State college and II is Just
as true that for years the question has
| been asked in other states why The
| Vermont State Grange has not seen to
IT that the State was not long since pro-
vided with a model dairy school building
