breeds of GesSenay f5aanenJ, a. fz< nous white hornleSS breed, and the
 Toggenburg, herds of which are De-
 ing sold every year to go aDrOads bJ the black race of the VaIais; and by
 the chanois race of the Alps. The
 breeding of pigs, more important in Switzerland since the initiation Of breeding the Yorkshire with the na- tive race, is much facilitated by the using of waste milk and the ezter-
 sion of the cultivation of potatoes, Very fine specimens will be exhibited Poultry will comprise an equally in1~ portant division. The Swiss are famed agriculturists and that activity will not be overlooked.
 The aromatic herbs, growing fn the savory pastures, have made SwffZeT- land a. country whose milk produc- tion is most important, and a special
 place has been reserved for the ex- hibits of cheese, butter, condensed
 milk, milky flour, etc. Cheese fac- tories will be operated in plain sight of all, and the various phases Of the
 making of the Emmenthal and Gruyere cheese will thus actually be products. This part of the Fair" will be of much interest, for the pie turesque peasants in costume will give it a festal air.
 Switzerland is also the country Of the vine, where the sunny banks Of the lakes, the hill sides and the southern valleys offer a fertile ground for the culture of this noble plant 1 The Swiss vine cultivators will exhib- ! it their choicest wines at Lausanne, which visitors will be able to taste and compare. The different pro- cesses of the cultivation, and the bat | tie against the disease of the vine will also be shown
 Another object of rural industry is fruit-tree culture. Complete co1Iec- | tions of fruit, and the use of the same for cider and preserves, will l be on exhibition The market gar dener who like the fruit-tree cuItur- | ist, finds fertile soil in the alluv1or.s of the valleys, will occupy an import ant place. Horticulturists will also present their outside and hot-houss I plants, which will astonish visitors Lawns, borders, and gardens, in trees are scattered, will show that ! these branches of Swiss activity are not behind other countries. The for- | est in Switzerland-and of noun
 tains as it is-plays an enornous part as a source of revenue and as protection against the powers of na~ | ture The pavilion for forest cul~ ture, surrounded by timber exhfofrs illustrating the exploitation of the iTI- | dustry, and by nurseries and collec~ | tions of forest plants, will be muc6 l frequented. Hunting, fishing (with | the aquarium), will also figure Tn this | division.
 | The operations of the farm will bs well covered by an exhibit Of tarm machinery and agricultural frnple~ | ments, and practical denOnserat5on will be given of them each day Here | one will be able to notice, among other things, the frequent application | of electricity, and the service II H | able to render on the farm. A model construction will show the possibility | of the erection, at a moderate pT7cs< | of a farm building fulfilling the es< sential conditions for it's successfu exploitation. An exhibition of ma | terial, useful to agriculture. will o1< fer a general view of all the mater iaIs which the actual cultivator uses l in the way of fertilizers" substances intended for the feeding of cattle
 and seeds of all the plants cultivated
 in Switzerland, etc.
