instructed, without cost, in the cultivation of the trees 

 and plants which are useful to the farmer. 



In the military garden at Munich, a complete fortress 

 is building, on a small scale, by the pupils in- the Mili- 

 tary Academy, in order to instruct them better in the 

 art of building fortifications ; and several pieces of 

 ground which are situated near the fortress are appro- 

 priated as points from which to besiege the fortress, 

 and to afford instruction to the engineers in making 

 entrenchments, in posting troops, and in other similar 

 matters. 



In this garden there is also a Swiss dairy and eighteen 

 of the most beautiful cows, some from Switzerland, 

 some from Ansprach and from the Tyrol ; and two of 

 the finest bulls have also been procured. The chief 

 object of this establishment is to distribute in the 

 country, for the benefit of the inhabitants, an improved 

 breed of horned cattle ; hence all calves are sold into 

 the country at a low price. 



In connection with the Swiss dairy is a farm of con- 

 siderable size, which may be regarded at the same time 

 as a School of Agriculture, because the intention is to 

 have all sorts of experiments performed there which 

 tend to the introduction into Bavaria of a better system 

 of cultivation. 



In connection with the Veterinary School, which is 

 also in this garden, there is a botanical garden estab- 

 lished for the instruction of the pupils of the school, 

 in which all such herbs as are useful in curing the 

 diseases of animals are cultivated. 



All these are objects which every sensible and 

 enlightened statesman will certainly regard as im- 

 portant.
