There was then, last year, a total of 68 acres of roots and rape. 
This year there will probably be no less than 81 acres (izicluding 
istubble-turnips). I say " probably," because, of course, the oat- 
turnips and the bean-rape were not in at our July visit. Mr. 
Lane informs me that about 70 to 80 acres is his maximum of 
roots ; but reckoning stubble-turnips, the quantity is sometimes 
increased to 90 acres. 
I do not think that any words of mine will add to the interest 
these figures ought to excite. The fact that on 200 acres of 
land, 60 to 80 acres of roots can be regularly taken, without 
interfering with the corn-cropping of the farm, is one well 
Worthy of attention ; and although few farmers, perhaps, may 
liave land so thoroughly adapted for the purpose as this farm, 
I cannot doubt that with such management as is here ex-

England.
