 Scarcity, and he may keep his cow - s and 

 the milk which ihe wall produce, in lefs than 

 a month, will pay the rent of his ground. 

 The peafant, who has hitherto been able to 

 keep but one cow, will be enabled to keep 

 two or three, if he will apply h'imfelf to the 

 cultivation of the fame root.
