his men at the rate of 18s. per week, and cider during the hay 
harvest. A liberal sum is spent in food for stock on the farm. 
Mr. Harding sells his calves young, at an average of about 
30s. each, and sells his dairy produce in the shape of milk, which 
his proximity to Clifton enables him to do with great advantage. 
He has held the farm for six years, and his returns from his 
dairy during that time must have been great. 
The land he occupies is of good fair quality, and his manage- 
ment is neat, good, and highly to be commended. 
The Brook Farm, Westbury-on- Severn, Gloucestershire, the 
property of C. Cadle, Esq., and Mrs. Boughton, and occupied 
by John Cornelius Cadle, contains 46 acres of arable and 90 
acres of pasture and orchard land, in all 136 acres. The trees 
in the orchards consist of pears and apples, the produce of which 
is made into perry and cider. 
The tenancy is a yearly one, with a Michaelmas entry. 
Mr. Cadle has two cottages, and employs 3 labourers ; those 
occupying the two cottages receiving 12s. per week each, paying 
no rent, the other one receiving 15s. per week. He also employs 
extra labour in summer, and expends altogether in labour about 
29s. per acre. Nearly all his sheep and cattle are bought in and 
resold fat. The amount spent for manure and for food for the 
stock is not large. 
The Live Stock on the farm consists of 3 cart-horses, 2 colts, 
6 dairy cows, and 4 three-year-old heifers, 6 two-year-old steers 
and heifers, 16 yearlings and 13 weaning-calves ; 15 ewes and 
21 lambs, and 16 cross-bred tegs; 2 breeding-sows, 9 fatting 
pigs, and 5 stores. 
The whole of the live stock are evidently well cared for. 
The arable and pasture land and the orchards are fairly well 
managed. 
Webb's ' Practical Farmer's Account-book ' is kept. 
The gates, fences, &c., are in good condition, and Mr. Cadle's 
management, with a view to profit, is certainly to be com- 
mended, 
UUej/ Farm, the property of the Rev. F. Arnold, and in the 
occupation of Robert Alfred Day, is close under the Mendip 
Hills, and about 11 miles from Bristol. 
The farm is in five detached portions, some lying a consider- 
able distance from the homestead and on the Mendip Hills ; it 
consists of 2'5 acres of arable land and 155 of pasture, in all 
180 acres. The land is wet and not of good quality. The 
house and buildings for a farm of this size, and occupied as this 
is, as a dairy farm, are simply wretched ; the house is certainly not
