SCHOOL of practical agriculture has
been established in the province of
Bucnos Ayres, under direction of the
Argentine government. This is the
first institution of the kind in that
country, and great hopes are enter
tanned of its elevating influence ON ag-
riculture in Argentina.
DRIED peat or turf, cut from bogs. is
largely used for fuel throughout Eu-
rope. Some of it is nodded much as
bricks are, and it is also pressed into
compact balls. One hundred pounds
of peat have heating capacity equal
to fifty pounds of hard coal, or to near
ly one hundred weight of wood or soft
coal.
TEA culture in British India and
Cey1on has proved quite successful
from cultural point of view, but its
commercial success depends upon in
creased markets for the product.
America and Australia are regarded
with interest by Indian and Ceylon
planters as possible buyers of their
surplus.
An Agricultural Organization socie-
ty has been formed in ireland, largely
through the efforts of Hon. w. L.
Plunl1et, son of the archbishop of Dub
