On the second floor are located the departments of agronomy, 

 forestry, and bacteriology, and the museum, each department having 

 an instructor's room or office, and plant and tool stora^j^e rooms. 



On the third floor are rooms for the department of horticulture, 

 draftinir rooms, a class room, and a large lecture hall. The rooms 

 adjoining the lecture hall on either side have movable partitions, 

 which when opened increase the seating capacity of this hall. The 

 horticulture department is supplied with a refrigerator and a storage 

 room. Various laboratories are equipped with water, gas, and live 

 steam. 



About 50 feet to the rear of the agricultural building is a stock- 

 judging pavilion, octagonal in shape, 50 feet in diameter, built of 

 red brick, and of a style in keeping with the larger building. In this 

 pavilion the central ring, 25 feet in diameter, is surrounded by six 

 rows of seats, arranged in amphitheater style, and capable of seating 

 about 350 people. 



MISSOURI. 



The new $100,000 agricultural building at the University of Mis- 

 souri is the second largest and doubtless the most beautiful structure 

 on the campus (PI. XI. fig. 1). It is four stories in height, built of 

 native limestone, and has an aggregate floor space of about one acre. 



It contains the administrative offices of the college of agriculture, 

 the state board of agriculture, and the state dairy and food commis- 

 sion, and class rooms for the departments of animal husbandry, 

 agronomy, and agricultural chemistry. There are also laboratories 

 for students in agricultural chemistry and agronomy. 



A spacious, well-lighted, well-ventilated, and well-arranged audi- 

 torium is located in a wing of the building. This auditorium seats 

 about 1,000 people and will be used for a lecture hall during the 

 regular college sessions and as a meeting place for large gatherings 

 and conventions devoted to farming interests. 



MONTANA. 



The completion of a new agricultural building, for which the

 68 feet in width, with a high basement (the floor of which is on a 

 level with the gi'ound) and two stories above. The construction is 

 of pressed brick with sandstone trimmings and a tile roof. The in- 

 side finish is oak, with maple floors. The floor in the main entrance 

 and in the basement hall is of terrazzo or reinforced concrete. All 

 the heating, water, and drainage pipes are in a subbasement, which
