There are four of these, all frame and model in every respect. These are the delight of the farmers who visit the big school. They are designed for instructional and scientific experimental purposes, of course, and at the same time are supposed to prove valuable object lessons to visitors. The II. rae Barn is 60 by CO feet, the Cattle barn 106 by 104, Sheep barn 94 by 41, and the Ilog barn 65 by 31. These buildings, with their equipment, are worth something near $55,000. pital, a 2 feet. two-stor- y 7 he Poultry building, removed but a short distance from the barns, is a structure 25 by 230 feet, and 100 feet on each side is devoted to pens. Here are to be found all the standard breeds of chickens, and uuder the experimentation of Prof. Drydao, who returns this year after a two years' vacation, the experimenting that has already attracted world-wid- e attention will be continued. Considering the extent of tlnse farm buildings, their perfect modeling, together with the high bred animals which they house, it would certainly appear that no small stress is laid upon the agricultural aide of the College. But in this respect there are still other things to mention the orchards end small fruit section of the farm, covering about ten seres. The old orchard is indeed a thing of beauty, and a new one of several hundred trees gives great promise.
