22 Director's Report of the 



An important change has been made in the basement of the 

 cattle barn by doubling the window space and by substituting a 

 wooden wall for the stone masonry in the south end. With the 

 increased light and dryness thus secured this basement appears 

 to furnish comfortable and healthful quarters for live stock. 



In view of the need for much more milk to be used in the new 

 dairy building, it will be necessary to enlarge the stock capacity 

 of the cattle barn. This can only be done by building a wing, 

 one story probably, and most conveniently on the east side, that 

 will accommodate twenty or thirty animals. I recommend that 

 $1,500 be secured for that purpose. I also recommend that $1,000 

 be secured for the maintenance of general repairs to the Station 

 buildings. The general funds appropriated for the use of the 

 Station should be wholly applied to the maintenance of its various 

 departments and must be if it is conducted along the varied lines 

 that are now undertaken.
