IN DINAJPUR. 25 



Though these remarks relate chiefly to the district 

 of Dinajpu?', yet it is obvious that many of them will 

 equally apply to the other parts of Bengal. 



The improvement of live stock, and introduction of 

 dairies, the fencing and manuring of land, the intro- 

 duction of wheel carriages, and a number of improve- 

 ments of a similar kind, have not been hinted at, be- 

 cause the present state of society seems to render 

 them to a great degree impracticable. Yet the rapid 

 progress of agricultural improvements in England 

 encourages the hope, that a gradual improvement may 

 also be effected in Hindostan.
