Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Observations Upon Government Assistance to Agriculture in Certain Countries of Europe
Dairy cattle-breeding is also receiving attention in connection with this work though the methods employed are somewhat different from the above. The main virtue of the scheme lies, no doubt. In the generous introduction of new and better blood into the country and were it not for the poverty of the farmers. The same results could be obtained with a much smaller expenditure of money. It will be remembered, however, that half what is required is met by a tax which the counties lay upon themselves and it seems to be the opinion that no other money expenditure has been more directly successful in carrying increased revenue to the farm.
The assistance given to swine breeding is organized in much the same manner as' in the cattle-breeding scheme and the details of it need not be described. The pro duction of pork is a great industry in Ireland, and the attempt is being made to develop the country into a larger and more in?uential competitor for trade in the. Markets of Great Britain.
