Beschreibung
Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. I would first invite attention to the agriculture of France. French agriculture has long had what many have advocated for England, viz., a Government Department Of Agriculture, pre sided over by a Minister, who takes under his paternal care the whole family Of French agriculturists. The collection of statistics, agricultural colleges, veterinary colleges, experimental farms, mechanical museums, schools, roads, drainage, horse breeding, chemistry, the necessary supply of food for the people, an experimental implement factory, and a hundred other things are under his control, and the expenses of these various institutions and plans are defrayed by the State.
