The King of France is now on the point of establishing an Academy of Experimental Agriculture, which will bid fair for proving of the highest utility to that kingdom. A farm of 3000 acres is marked out for them in a royal domain, within ten leagues of Paris, where they are to make experiments necessary to establish the art upon uncontroverted principles. There are also to be a Court of Justice, and appeal from all parts of the kingdom, in the enclosure of commons and other lands, in such a manner as to facilitate greatly that circumstance in rural economy, which is so much wanting in France. No less than 300000 livres a year is assigned to this Academy, to support its expenses.
