" Without cultivation of any kind ... 42-8 per cent.* 



Cultivated 28'6 „ 



Pasture (terreno de pasto) ... ... 14*6 „ 



Woods, orchards, and gardens ... 14'0 „

" The average value of this superficies, according to 

 annual production ; and the capital which it represents, is 

 as follows : — 



Class. Annual produce. Capital. 



" Cultivated £180,400,000 £220,720,000" 



Pasture 31,960,000 153,280,000 



Woods, gardens, &c... 31,568,000 49,280,000 



" If we take into account that the 42'8 per cent.* of un- 

 cultivated land has also its 'prairie value,' it may be 

 safely calculated that the landed property of Spain repre- 

 sents a sum of £560,000,000 (five hundred and sixty 

 millions sterling). 



" The number of inhabitants of Spain who devote them- 

 selves to agriculture is, according to the census returns, 

 4,821,875." 



The same article gives a summary of the 22,291 mills 

 and flour-factories of Spain, by which it appears the 

 motive power used is as follows : — 



Total 22,291 



From a current number of a daily paper we cut the 

 following advertisement, as showing the value set on water 

 in thirsty Spain : — " To be let, the grazing-grounds 

 (dehesa) of Junco Eeal, in the district (termino) of Chich- 

 lana. Contains 1,075 fanegas of brushwood and 237 of 

 cultivation (labor), with six wells." 



* 45-8 is the figure stated, but as that wotild exceed the 100 we 

 have reduced it accordingly.
