AGRICULTURAL AND DAIRY EDUCATION.
The Government have promised to devote £5000 to subsidies to agricultural and dairy schools which are or may be in existence dnring the current year. - This is only a temporary grant. 1 It was expected that the Government would adopt a regular scheme of assistance to such education, but they are waiting till the Department of Agriculture has been established, and that will probably not be till the latter part of the session, if even then. Something has been done aa a temporary expedient. Mr James Long; Professor -of Dairying at Cirencester Agricultural College, has contributed to the " Transactions of the Highland Agricultural Society " a long article showing what is done by the State in European countries, and in the United States and ' Canada, to instruct farmers in the science and practice of dairying. He finds that more or less State aid la given in 13 countries— France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Russia, Switzerland, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Belgium, and Spain ; and he contends, that British dairy farmers will be more and more beaten in their own markets if we do not keep abreast with foreign countries in respect of thia branch-of technical education.
