NEW LIVE STOCK 



BUILDING AT THE MINNESOTA COL 

 OF AGRICULTURE. 



A building, to be used in connection with the instruction in live 

 stock at the Minnesota School and College of Agriculture, is now in 

 process of construction and will be completed during the fall. The 

 building will serve as headquarters for the live stock department of 

 the station, as well as the college, but is designed principally for the 

 instruction in live stock judging and other branches of animal hus- 

 bandry. 



It is quite unique-for a building of this sort, and includes a number 

 of features not usually found in the live stock pavilion or the barn.

limited number of animals and are intended for temporary use, to 

 house the animals while they are being used for instruction purposes. 

 Stock for this purpose is frequently borrowed in order to obtain 

 suitable specimens for illustration, and such animals will be stabled in 

 the barn forming a part of this building while they are at the college 

 grounds. Stock belonging to the college will also be more conveni- 

 ently housed in this building during the period when it is being used. 

 The new building will be of brick, with blue limestone foundation 

 and Indiana buff Bedford stone trimmings, and will have a slate roof. 

 It will have a frontage of 136 feet, with a depth of 76 feet in the main 

 part. As shown bj T the front elevation (rig. 1), it presents the appear- 

 ance of a central part with wings on either side.
