Fenton Barns. 
Fenton Barns, the well-known occupation of Mr. George 
Hope, has already figured several times in agricultural publica- 
tions : in this Journal, in the 'Transactions of the Highland 
Society,' and more than once in the different agricultural news- 
papers. The account given in the following pages is therefore 
less full than it would otherwise have been, especially in those 
particulars which have already been dealt with in detail by 
Mr. Stevenson, in his able Report on East Lothian Farming,* 
and by Mr. Algernon Clarke, in his Report on Steam Cul- 
tivation.t 
Mr. Hope's occupation consists of 660 acres at Fenton Barns, 
and 230 acres at Dirleton. The whole of this is arable land,
