Revival of Farming in England.
In ajx article in the Contemporary Review, Mr Harold Moore estimates that had British farmers last year realised from the land a value equal to that obtained 20 years ago, their income would have been probably £40,000,000 to £60^000.000 more than it was. Yet Mr Moore, who biflfeelf farms 600 acres, has hope for the future. Hift hopes are based upon an [ improved system of farming all round. , He is enthusiastic about the steam digger, which, at a cost of a little J better than £l per acre more than the present system of culture, doubles or more than doubles a crop. Mr Moore also sees no earthly reason why the British farmer should not replace the foreign dairy produce that floods the 1 market, costing the country about £30,000,000 a year. He alleges that [ England is altogether behind with the Dumber of cows as compared with . other countries, and he states that another million of cows is needed to , provide for the consumption of butter by the populations of the towns and i villages.
