BETTER HOMES FOR THE FARMS

The Department of A*ricnlture Establishes a Brandi for Information on House* 11014 Topics. Secretary Wilson of the department of agriculture has always recognized the influence for good farming which flows from an attractive farm house, and has developed a branch of the department which, through its correspondence and its publications, has become a bureau of information on household topics. Bulletins on subjects relating to food and to homemaking have been prepared which have had a circulation of more than 10,000,000 copies. One of these. The Economic Use of Meat in the Home, reached an edition of a million and a* half copies. At the same time this branch of the department has given special attention to agricultural education, assisting states to plan and organize schools, to secure teachers, and to prepare courses.
