Farming in England and France. — S. Howard, Esq,, 
of the Boston Cultivator, is nov/ visiting Europe, and 
makes the following comparisons between these two coun- 
tries : 
In England the fields are mostly square, divided by 
green hedges, and each is devoted to a particular crop. In 
France, the land is cultivated in narrow strips, without 
fences, except by the roads, It is not uncommon to see 
strips of wheat, oats, lucerne, clover, and the different 
kinds of vegetables, each of a rod in width, along side 
each other, and all belonging to the same person. In 
England, the numerous flocks and herds add to the land- 
scape. In France, you may travel for miles without see- 
ing a sheep or a cow. England strives to produce all 
the meat she can, and by doing so increases the fertility 
of her soil. France keeps the smallest number of domes- 
tic animals she can get along with, and, consequently, 
decreases her productive powers. England raises turnips 
and other root crops largely, France raises hemp, tobac- 
co, and the cereal grains. The crops of the two coun- 
tries show the immense superiority of the English system. 
The very grass of England is more luxuriant.
