Excerpt from Fourth Annual Report of the State Board of Agriculture: With an Abstract of the Proceedings of the County Agricultural Societies for the Year 1868, to the General Assembly The article on Farmers' Homes, by Prof. Spencer Smith, of St. Louis, will be found interesting and valuable. It is an important subject and one upon which the majority of farmers as well as other! Probably need and desire sound practical advice quite as much as upon any other. The elevation or perspective view, and ¿oor plans of a farm house which accompany the article, were designed more than a year ago, by Mr. Wm. Rumbold, of St. Louis, an architect of distinction, since deceased, expressly for the agricultural report of 1867, but were not placed in the hands of the engraver in time to be completed for that issue. The design of a Cheap Country House of Canadian origin, will meet the wants of many who wish to build. Neither of these plans are in all respects free from faults, but they afford a desirable basis, to which additions and alterations may be made so as to adapt them to the requirements and wishes of very many who may contem plate building. The Illinois Industrial Lectures constitute a valuable feature in this report, none the less valuable for the reading of Missouri farmers on account of having been delivered in Illinois. It is earnestly hoped that it will not be long before a similar plan for instruction will be introduced in our State.
