By the liberality of the Surveyors' Institution fifty guineas 
were offered in prizes in the following classes : —

The following were the chief regulations under which these 
prizes were offered : — 
1. The designs can be shown either separately or ns part of the farm 
dwelling house. 
2. A short specification, with estimate of cost, must be sent with each 
competing' design. In awarding the prizes, the expense of erection and 
equipment will bo taken into consideration, 
3. The designs must be sent to the Society's house, 12 Hanover Square, 
AV., on or before Saturday, June 1, 1889, with a distinctive motto legibly 
written on each drawing and on the specification. 
4. Each competitor must enclose his name and address in a sealed enve- 
lope (to accompany the designs), on the outside of which only his motto and 
the class in which the design is competing may be written. 
5 All the designs sent in for competition will be exhibited in one of the 
buildings in the Society's Showyard in Windsor Great Park, aud the awards 
will be announced on or before the first day of the exhibition. 
Unfortunately these prizes failed to attract more than a few 
competitive designs. Neither of the Cheese Dairy classes con- 
tained a single entry, and in the classes for Butter Dairies the 
Judges (Mr. Allender and myself) were bound to report that 
they were dissatisfied even with those designs to which prizes 
were awarded. The winners of the First Prizes in both these 
classes were Messrs. T. Bradford & Co., and in addition to 
this there were two other entries in each class. 
The Council having resolved that the Prize Designs should 
be published in the Journal for the general information of 
members, Messrs. Bradford's plans are reproduced in the follow- 
ing pages, together with the specifications which accompanied 
them :— 
Specification of Butter Dairy, for Farm of over 100 Acres. 
The Dairy as shown on the Plan on page 732 is designed for the work of 
a large Dairy Farm of 80 to 100 cows, or, with the addition of another 
Separator, a much larger quantity of milk could be treated, and the work 
would not be stopped by an accident to either of the Milk Separators.
