It is recommended that the appropriations for buildings, etc., on the Expermental and stock farms be referred to the Executive Committee, as the estimates are not in, but a sum of $2,000 should be appropriated for the purchase of materials that may be needed before that Committee can have a meeting. The Horticultural Committee asked an appropriation out of the fund belonging to that Department, for a dwelling-house, and barn near i t ; but your Committee, upon fuller information, are of the opinion that these buildings are wanted for the use of the Experimental farm, and should be placed upon the land devoted to that object. The cost therefor should come out of the fund appropriated for that Department. Your Committee cannot, in the present condition of our finances, recommend the canvass for students proposed in the resolution of Dr. Scroggs. A. M. BROWN, Chairman.
