1. The Farm of Mr. G. E. Daintree, near Lit tie port, Cambridgeshire. 
This large farm, held from several landlords, consists almost entirely of 
peaty soil on a subsoil described as buttery clay. A portion near the main 
homestead is on higher ground and mostly under grass. It is held under 
yearly tenancies with freedom of cropping till the last year of tenancy. Sale of 
produce is allowed under certain restrictions. These stipulate as to the pur- 
chase of artificial manures in proportion to the value of hay or straw sold off. 
The land is farmed chiefly on the five-course rotation — one-fifth roots, 
one-fifth oats, two-fifths wheat and one-fifth beans, peas, mustard, and seeds. 
Sometimes clovers and grasses. Seeds are left down two or three years if 
the plants are strong and good. 
Only a small portion of the grass land is mown for hay, the balance is 
pastured with horses, cattle, and sheep. The following shows the extent of 
the farm and the annual outlay : —

There is also used for feeding a large quantity of home grown grain, 
generally about twenty acre3 of barley and seventy acres of oats, witli all 
the beans, and tail corn. 
The stock on June 11, consisted of — 
96 horses. 70 pigs. 
227 cattle. 100 head of poultry. 
370 sheep. 
The horses were mostly good useful Shires with a few Hackneys, and a 
number are bred annually. Several of the foals were suffering from what 
was termed “ joint evil,” which occasions a considerable loss each year.
