Excerpt from The State of Agriculture in Europe: An Address Delivered at the Annual Exhibition of the New York State Agricultural Society at Syracuse, September 13th, 1849 Saxony. - In Saxony, a country greatly favored by na ture in the character of its soils, the chief attention of the great landholders and of the government, has been long directed to the improvement of the breed of sheep, from which the celebrated Saxon wool is obtained. This King dom exhibits generally a very different appearance from the' neighbouring country of Bavaria. In passing from the latter kingdom to the former, you seem to pass, says Mr. Royer, from the desert into the land of promise. Two-thirds of the rich proprietors in Saxony, he oh serves, cultivate their own properties, and have establish ed an order, neatness, and method, which, though far from agricultural perfection, you seek for in vain in France.
