NEW BUILDINGS AT
 CONNECTICUT COLLEGE
Large Dairy Barn With Modern Equip ment, and Horse Barn-Appropria- ton of $f0,000 For Each.

During the past year many build ings of a permanent nature have been erected at the Connecticut Agricultural college at StOrrS, including the dairy barn and the horse barn.
 The completion of the new dairy barn marks a distinct advance in the department of dairy husbandry. The old barn was not suited to the present day needs of a dairy-it was too low in the ceiling, the ventilation was poor and the light was inadequate, besides it did not adapt itself to the use of labor saving devices. The legislature of 1911 appropriated $10,000 to be used for the erection Of a new dairy barn; $80OO of this sum was used in the erection of the building itself and the balance of the appropriation was used to defray the cost of moving the silOs. grading, building retaining walls, and other in cideutal expenses connected with the erection of the structure and making it available for use The building is a model of construction. 1t is built of concrete blocks and stucco. It is fitted with the King system of venti- lation, and Louden stanchions and fixtures are used exclusively. It is built to accommodate 50 head of stock. Concrete and steel comprise the in teriOr inishings, including side walls. ceilings, floors, stanChions and feed managers. The building is especially we'll lighted, and the system of venti- lation is perfect. In striking contrast to this modern dairy building is the old barn built a quarter of a century ago.
 Horse Barn.
 The horse barn likewise built of con- crete blocks and stuCco was completed this month. The interior furnishings are in keeping with modern ideas of horse barn construction. It is fitted with box stalls as well as other stalls. Wood is used to some extent. es- pecially in the floor of the individual stalls and the partitions between the stalls
 The main floor, side walls and ceil- ing are of concrete. The appropriation for this building was s10,O0O and the construction and grading has been ac- complished within that amount
