the chief contributions, amountinor to more than the moiety of 
the whole, and suggesting something about fox-hunting. 
In the arable section the large proportion of the Avheat, the 
narrowness of the oat-crop, and the very nearly equal areas of 
the barley-crop and the artificial grasses, are noticeable ; and the 
unexpectedly small proportion borne to the whole by the " hold- 
ings under two acres." The extent of the turnip-crop, rein- 
forced by its adjoining and related section of other root and green 
fallow crops, constitutes an agreeable space to a farmer's eye ; 
the ' bare fallow ' being A ery little more than a match for this 
secondary assemblage of roots and green crop. The diagrams of 
Ireland and Scotland, Avhich are drawn on a larger scale for the 
sake of more space in the smaller areas of arable, Avill exemplify 
some striking differences in the matter of potatoes and of oats 
respectively. But the remarks are many that Avould occur to 
different spectators, according to their bent of observation ; and 
we shall leave our photograph to suggest its own reflections.
