 of modern times would cast aside. 



SOME CONSEQUENCES. 



Old ways of husbandry must be changed in many 

 points. In the first place, " the culture of corn must 

 shrink in extent but rise in revenue ; that is, there must 

 in future be more of it, and of better quality, though in 

 a smaller area. For that end it must be cultivated in 

 a cheaper manner, that the net proceeds may be higher 

 and the ground harvest richer." Every husbandman 

 who reckons well will understand this necessity. In 

 the second place, the requisition of the present time on 

 the husbandman proclaims that " in the place of the 

 wheat culture that used to be so imperative, #n increased 

 culture of fodder must step in. The breeding of cattle 

 must be improved. The manure must be much more 

 rich and abundant." In the third place, " the demand 

 requires the culture of commercial plants wherever it is 

 possible." In the fourth place, modern times demand 

 *of the husbandman that he mingle some other occupa- 

 tion with his agricultural one (something that has a 

 relation to agriculture), in case he fails in his care of 

 his cattle and farm. 



A highly important part of the school garden is the 

 cultivation of the agricultural " experiment field " en- 

 joined by the Austrian school law. The pressure of the 

 population upon the means of subsistence in England 

 and Saxony, in the last twenty years, makes it impera- 

 tive that the same land shall yield at least double the 

 amount it has hitherto yielded. But societies of all 

 kinds, unions, writings, essays, expositions, premiums,
