42 ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 



The whole south end of the building is given up to horticulture and 

 field agriculture, etc. 



The. north end to animal husbandry, dairy husbandry, laboratories, 

 etc. Just over in this direction and about that spot will be an open court 

 and three wings; one to the north; one to the south, and one to the east. 

 The three wings are the. same size, 45 by 116 feet, two stories high. Now 

 this is the dairy work. I ought t o say in this portion of the building 

 dairy offices,, classi rooms, laboratories, and all that sort of thing. This 

 room right here, 45x116, is the manufacturing room. Here is the milk 

 room, cold storage under, the receiving platform, wash room, the cheese 

 room, etc., and here is the boiler room. The engine that runs the ma- 

 chinery is put in here. The cold storage will be in the room here. Over 

 this are rooms for domestic scien ce, kitchen, and dining room and labora- 

 tories. In another part, two stories given up to operating rooms of 

 veterinary science, and this portion of the room, 75 feet long, for veteri- 

 nary clinic. 



If we take a notion to break i r oolts,, w^e will hitch up in here and 

 break a colt in that space very easily. Breaking in to the saddle or the 

 sulky. We shall do that kind of work. Here in another portion of the 

 building is what we call machine ry room. This building in both stories 

 is farm machinery. In the lower floor reapers, binders, and mowers, 

 engines, etc., and the upper floor the smaller tools of the farm, and in this 

 room will be the workshop fixed up for the various shop work connected 

 with farm machinery. It is a quarter of a mile around it; two acres of 

 floor space, and' it is a lot over 400 feet from this point to this point. Every 

 room in the building will be in use. It is the first Jt^S its^ kin)d' in this 

 country, the greatest building for agriculture I know anything about. 

 It has no m'ore money put into it than some State has put in their build- 

 ings, but as much money as some States have put for thisi purpose. 



The University of Lightfoot has $20,0'00 for agricultural instruction. 

 This great study needsi serious consideration. Some must be done on. 

 the farm and some in college.
