tural chemistry ; the morphology and physiology of plants ; 
zoology ; the morphology, physiology, and pathology of domesti- 
cated animals ; the theory of breeding ; mineralogy and geo- 
logy ; drainage and water supply ; the growth of crops ; statistics 
of cultivation ; agricultural implements and machinery ; book- 
keeping and farm-management ; social economy ; and general 
agricultural administration. All this, and much more, is in- 
cluded in the time-table for the three years during which the 
student remains at the school ; and the practical work, that 
forms an indispensable part of the course, is also elaborately 
provided for. 
Intermediate Schools (Mittelschulen). — Of these schools tbere 
are now 16, of which 12 are for agriculture, 3 for forestry (at 
Weiss wasser, Bohemia ; Eulenberg, Moravia ; and Lemberg, 
Galicia), and 1 for fruit-growing (at Klosterneuburg, Lower 
Austria). None of the 12 agricultural middle schools are 
Government establishments, though they all receive subven- 
tions from the State. Eight are maintained by provinces, 1 (at 
Ohrudim, Bohemia) by the district, and 3 — at Modling (Lower 
Austria), Kaaden (Bohemia), and Baudnitz (Bohemia) — are sup- 
ported by societies. 
The following statement gives the principal facts as to the 
eight provincial schools : —

The agricultural schools at Modling, Tetsclien, Tabor, Dub- 
lany, the three forestry schools, and the fruit-growing»school at 
Klosterneuburg are called Lehranstalten, or colleges, the others 
being described as Mittelschule, or middle schools, though all 
the sixteen are grouped together in the official reports under 
the latter designation. The total number of teachers in these 
schools in 1890 was 138, with 573 pupils. 
The aim of the colleges at Tetschen-Liebwerd and Tabor, 
as stated by Baron von Hohenbruck, is to impart "a liiglier 
scientific education in agriculture," and " the necessary know- 
ledge in special branches." The course of lectures lasts two 
years. The college at Dublany aims at the " theoretical training 
of proprietors, tenant-farmers, and bailiffs." The course of 
lectures here extends over three years.
