Among the developments at Glenn
son College we would mention one or
two items Of particular interest to
the division Of animal husbandry and
dairytng.
For some years 1t has been seen
that anew dairy building was needed,
but 1t had been determined to wait
for Its erection until a really good
structure might be built and a com
piete outfit placed in it. Many OF the
state colleges have placed the euuip-
ment for teaching dairying in por-
tion OF some large building, devoting
only the basement rooms to this Dur-
pose, but our ambition has been to
put up building, complete in itself,
Tor the use Of this division. We are
now about to accomplish that much
desired end.
The plan that has been approved
Is about GO by rs feet in size, two
stories, with a basement that will be
above ground on two sides. 1t is to
be of brick, with tile roof and stone
trm, and In every way substantial
modern structure.
The basement will be devoted to
me practical or manufacturing side

placed all milk, cream, butter and
cheese working implements, general
butter making room, cheese room,
class laboratory for student use in
handling all milk products, milk
room, wash, store and toilet rooms.
Also IN one corner OF this floor is to
be placed a complete mechanical cold
storage outfit, to be used in handling
Doth butter and cheese and as an aid
In any experiments that may be con-
Quoted with these articles.
This should give ample space to
instruct all students, for years to
come, in all the processes pertaining
TO dairying, and to do it in a thor
oushly modern manner. All these
work rooms are to have cement floor.
with walls Of same material, the lat
ter TO have an enamel finish. Win
doWs will not have wood cases, but
will be Of same finish as sides of
rooms, but with corners rounded

ods and by having been particular to
have plenty Of light in all rooms, the
structure should be sanitary ia, every
respect.
We have meGtioned only the base
ment. On the floor above, as one en-
ters by the front door, the room at
the right would be found to DE n class
room. On the left is another the
same SIZE, but to be used for ANALYSIS
OF milk, etc. In front of the entrance
VIII be found n series Of two groups
OF rooMs. One group will he the farm
butter rooms and the second the mar
ket malk rooms. In these groups will
be found complete small outfit for
the making of butter or small
scale, exactly as might well be dupli.
cated on the farm. It would have
separator, butter worker and churn,
SINK, haater, and, in fact, all the ma.
chimes needed by farmer to make
first quality butter. In the other
group would be found n similar lot of
implements that would be necessary
II mix was to be retailed. On each
SIDE OF these groups will be located
o1hces and another class room.
On the top floor viii he found two
offices, three class rooms and a lar
ger room or auditorium. Phis room
Will be fitted with windows that can
easily be made dark and with q pro-
lection lantern that illustrated lee
lures may be given al any time. This
room Will be particularly useful in
institute and short course work.
On the whole we feel that the
building will accommodate the dairy
work for many years to come and
give us thoroughly well equipped
department in that one direction.
A plan has also been accepted for
a new dairy barn, to be the first of a
group of farm buildings that shall aid
in developing the herds Of animals,
not only grade herd simply to pro-
duce milk and butter for college use,
but, more than that, as a means for
better giving instruction in all lines
OF animal husbandry and to include
good, If small, herds Of the represen-
tatlve breeds Of animals. In the ac-
ceptance OF the barn plan we have
the starting point In this direction,
and as the plan develops we shall
nave occasion to again mention this
subject more in detail
