During the winter months the gen

prove to be true in many actual cases.
Nevertheless, the average farmer has
considerable spare time in winter

for giving a touch of attractiveness
about the farmhouse.
Planning the Greenhouse.
The greenhouse need not necessarily
be an expensive affair. 1t may be
simply a sash house with a portable
roof. These houses are, however less
satisfactory than the more substantial
permanent roof, and the additional
cost of permanent roof should not be
very much greater
The cheapest construction and prob
ably the most convenient type of house
is the so-called "lean-to" house. This
may be built on the south side Of
the living house, barn, or other out
building, provided the pitch of the
roof Of the building is not such that
the snow will slide from it during the
winter, thus breaking the glass. The
boiler might be located in the base
ment and be used also for heating the
house, or for heat or power in the
barn.
Fig. l represents a structure of this
kind which could be built at a COM
paratively low cost. TIE south wall

field stone may be used These should
be laid in cement, and the wall should
be at least s inches in thickness.

Near the top of the wall a half-inch
bolt about s inches in length should
be firmly embedded in the stone wall
or cement to hold the sill firmly to
the wall.
The wall should be built 8 feet be-
low the grade line to insure "a firm
foundation. The angle of the roof
should not be less than 2S degrees
in order that 1t may not hold the snow,
and that the water after a rain may
quickly drain of and not drip into the
house. A narrow ventilator should

A GRAND FEATURE
Agriculture to be Taught In all Prim-
ary Schools Where There are
Eight Grade Students.

When In 1913 the questions are
placed before the pupils in the eight
grade the Michigan pupils of the pub
lie schools will hardly display the
lamentable ignorance regarding agri-
culture that was shown in the exam
nations for the Boys State Fair
School which is to be one of the lead
Ing features of the Michigan State
Fair. Sept. 16 to 81 inclusive. Super
intendent of Public Instruction Lut-
her l.. Wright has decreed that agri-
culture must be taught hereafter in
every primary school where there are
eight grade students. He is acting
under the new state law which pro-
vides that the superintendent OF pub
lie instruction must prepare and have
printed a course of study which must
be pursued in all public schools. The
addition of agriculture is perhaps the
most important change shown in the
list of studies which is now ready for
distribution. The course OF study re-
quires one half year of intensive work
with the text book and nature study
and school gardening leading up to this
subject. Both the course of study and
the school gardening fit in with the
successful projects introduced by the
Michigan State Fair this year through
the efforts of Secretary and Manager
]. T.. Harmon who inaugurated the
Boys State Fair School and the Mini
ature Model Farms Under the pre-
sent ruling the scholars will be requir-
ed TO pass an examination in agri-
culture before completing the eight
grade.
In this connection it is interesting
to note that the Hon. James r. Wilson,
Secretary OF Agriculture, has recogni-
zed the value of the Miniature Model
Farms and the Boys State Fair School
and through his Assistant Secretary
has written Mr. Harmon asking that all
literature regarding the two projects
be sent on at once. The Secretary sent
on copy of Farm Management Bulle-
tin, illustrating the methods of laying
out farms and giving a plan of map
for projecting the rotation; the rota-
ton scheme permanently forward on
the fields of the farm. The secretary
is very much interested in the projects
of Michigan and expresses his best
wishes for their entire success. Some
experiments along the same lines were
undertaken through the efforts Of the
secretary recently and are also proving
successful but the plan of making
such experiments public and educative
as under taken by the Michigan State
Fair, is not only heartily commended
but will be recommended by the De-
partment to other State Fairs.
