A bill has been passed by the Legislature of Michigan establishing an Agricultural School and Experimental Farm, to be located within ten miles of the Capitol - Lansing. The purchase of land is to be not less than 500, nor more than 1000, acres in one body, and to cost not more than fifteen dollars per acre. Tuition to be forever free to pupils from the State of Michigan, and to be under the direction and supervision of the State Board of Education.

Michigan is a great agricultural State, and she does well to build up in her center an institution where her youth may be educated in the profession. The education of farmers' sons, now-a-days, drives them from the farm simply because it is not such as it should be. All the learning must go to the city, and all the ignorance remain at home. Agricultural schools in less than a quarter of a century will, we trust, correct, and perhaps reverse, this state of things. We should, in justice, say that much credit in this matter is due to the able Secretary of the Michigan State Agricultural Society, J. C. Holmes, Esq., for his indefatigable efforts to attain this object Mr. R. B. Leuchars, of Quincy, Mass., author of the popular treatise on the Construction, Heating, and Ventilating, of Hot-houses, has just returned from Europe, where he has spent the winter months. We are indebted to him for an interesting account of "The Crystal Palace at Sydenham," as he found it, which should have appeared last month.
