238 RECORDS OF OLD TIMES 



The highly distinguished quahty of our flocks 

 and herds ; the fleetness, tractability, noble bearing 

 and stamina of our thorough-bred horses ; the 

 grandeur, strength and docility of our draught 

 horses ; with the high feeding qualities and delicacy 

 of our porcine denizens of the farmyard, have been 

 shown as superior to all other countries in the show- 

 yards throughout the world. Let it not then be 

 said that our tenant farmers and their contented 

 labourers are lacking in energy or in emulation in 

 the great struggle that is going on throughout the 

 world ; and whilst we have our beloved Queen 

 and our popular Prince of Wales showing them- 

 selves good farmers and lovers of the land, England 

 has nothing to fear, and we shall be proud of our 



country. 



Great, glorious, and free, 

 First flower of the earth 

 And first gem of the sea.
