Size of British farms. — According to the agricultural returns 

 for 1873, the average area under crops, fallow, and grass in each 

 holding, or separate tenure, was in England and Sotlaud 56 

 acres, and iu Ireland 26. This was exclusive of land let in " allotments," 

 that is, small patches assigned to laborers to be cultivated for them- 

 selves, out of work-hours. In the eastern counties of England the av- 

 erage extent of holdings was, for the most part, higher than the general 

 average, being, in Cambridge, 59 acres; Essex, 82; Huntingdon, 69; 

 Lincoln, 55 ; Norfolk, 56 ; and Sufiolk, 72. A comparison of the census 

 takeu in 1871 with that of 1851 shows a diminution in the number of 

 small, and a corresponding increase in the number of large farms. In 

 17 representative counties, out of 59,870 farmers making returns in 

 1871, 12,075 cultivated less than 20 acres ; in 1851, these counties re- 

 turned 12,941 of this class ; in 1871, of farmers holding not less than 50 

 and less than 75 acres, 6,370 were returned ; in 1851, 8,253 of the same 

 class; of farmers holding less than 100 acres, in 1871, 33,162 were re- 

 turned ; in 1851, 39,139. On the other hand, the number of farms of 

 300 acres and upward, in 1851, was 7,771 ; in 1871, 8,410 ; the number 

 containing 500 acres and upward, in 1851,2,755; iu 1871,3,194; the 

 number of 1,000 acres and upward, in 1851, 492; in 1871, 582; of 2,000 

 acres and upward, iu 1851, 64 ; in 1871, 90.
