2. Agricultural Statistics, Tenure, and Depression. By "William Botly. 



In previous papers I have shown the national importance of agricultural sta- 

 tistics, with illustrations from history, both sacred and profane, as being a safeguard 

 against scarcity and famine. 



I will now review the acreage of corn, green crops, flax, hops, &c, in the United 

 Kingdom in 1878, with the number of cattle, sheep, pigs, and agricultural horses, 

 with increase or decrease in the year 1878 as compared with the previous year 



* Orchards, Fruit-trees, Woods, and Plantations do not include Ireland, and are down to 

 1872 only.
