of teaching such subjects and the one adopted throughout the institution, as note

the departments of 'Forestry, Animal Husbandry, Poultry and Horticulture, the Dairy

Department conducts a large dairy, produces mills for this special purpose, prepares

it for sale, having a special room and equipment in the new dairy building for this

purpose, and then delivers it to customers in the usual way, just ;as the products

of the other departments cited are sold.  The miljc being produced with greater care

and more elaborately prepared for market, the price charged is in excess-of that

charged by local milk dealers.  Your committee believes that this is a perfectly

legitimate function of the institution and necessary to the proper  conduct of the

Dairy Department, and it cites the precedent of numerous other State institutions-

where the same practice prevails in their dairy departments, viz:  Wisconsin Uni-

versity, University of Illinois, etc.

"We see no reason to recommend that the practice of selling milk, as it

is now done, be discontinued."
