A few years ago the government made an appropriation of 

 about $250,000 for the enlargement of the various branches, 

 and $9,000 a year is given for the payment of lecturers and 

 assistants. 



The professors are resident, have free houses, Tight and 

 fuel. They are paid besides $864 a year, and an increase of 

 $162 for every five years they remain in the college. 



Should Canada ever be fortunate enough to have similar 

 provision for the promotion of agriculture and the elevation 

 and education of farmers and farmers' sons, whoever is charged 

 with the organization cannot do better than spend a few months 

 at the Halle and Copenhagen veterinary and agricultural 

 colleges.
