The 4,000,000 acres added in 20 years to the Pasture of Great 
Britain is thus not wholly due to the laying down of Arable Land to 
Grass. Compared with 1889, the Arable Land of Great Britain in 
1890 is less by 117,000 acres, and the Pasture greater by 152,000 
acres, nearly the whole change taking place in England.
