in all live stock Departments. This was largely facilitated by an 

 appropriation of $5,000 for the purchase of teams two years ago. 

 At the present time we have a good equipment of horses, and an 

 extremely good working herd of dairy cattle that have been bred 

 upon the University farm. The fact that they have been so bred and 

 that records of individuals have been kept for the past twenty 

 years, is now giving us largely increased faciHties for instruction 

 in the principles of breeding, and a continuance of the same policy 

 will add largely to our facilities in the next few generations. 



In the past five years, starting with a single pair of Qieshire 

 swine, we have been able to develop a herd that stands second to 

 none in the country in this breed, and in the past two years have 

 won a large share of the prizes offered for this breed at the State 

 Fair. 



We expect now to establish a breeding herd of sheep along 

 measureably the same lines, and to increase them as fast as facilities 

 permit.
