CONSTITUTION OF FARMING. 1 j 1) 



It is probable that in France, also, a similar revolution 

 will take place, as the possibility of applying a larger capital 

 to farming increases. Small farms will be entirely given 

 up where they give no prospect of paying, and others 

 will be formed anew where indications are given of profit- 

 able results. Finally, the average extent may, without 

 inconvenience, be much less than in England ; a radical 

 change in farming is as little to be desired as it is in 

 property. But again, this is not the real question : we 

 have to inquire, not so much why farming and property 

 are not larger, but why they are more profitable and more 

 intelligent in England than in France \
