kinds. I Wcas disappointed to find the agriculture on this vast 

 Imperial estate apparently not superior to that of the surrounding 

 peasants, and in this it offered a contrast to the neatly culti- 

 A'ated estates of Upper Hungary. I was now far south, and the 

 oriental laziness, which has often been observed as belonging

 domain comprises 39,618 acres, and is managed by 1 director, 6 

 stewards, 8 assistants, 1 builder, 1 forester, and 1 head-machinist. 

 There is a stock of 800 work-oxen, 330 cows, 26 bulls, above 

 1000 swine, and young stock in proportion.
