During 18/S (according to Macmillan's Magazine) 391,174,000,000 eggs were imported into England from the Continent. The cheapest and most essential product of the soil is grass. The better the system of agriculture the better will be the grass produced. There is in France an agricultural school for girls. The pupils are 300 girls from six to eighteen years of age. Twenty-five sisters of charity are the teachers, and the farm, cultivated wholly by the pupils, contains 400 acres. The pupils are in great demand on account of their skill, and go out as stewards, gardeners, dairy-women, &c.
