By a mistaken notion, tliat a considerable extent of land is 
requisite to enable a farmer to keep many head of cattle, a 
most wasteful proportion of it is sometimes retained for the 
sole purpose of pasturage ; and thus, compared with its in- 
herent productive power, made useless. This little boot 
cannot fail to be read with interest bv many a farmer.
