MUNICIPAL AGRICULTURE.
The Liverpool Corporation possess no fewer than three farms. These comprise the West Derby and Walton Sewage farms,and theCarr Hall farms situate about a mile from Burscough Junction, aud containing about 78 acres of good agricultural land. This latter farm was acquired by the city fathers not far short of half a century ago for a totally different purpose from that to which it is put at the present time. For many years now it has been used for growing potatoes, hay, and other farm produce, and also as a place to which lame and sick horses belonging to the Liverpool Corporation can be sent, and where they can run about until they recover their normal condition. It is interesting to learn thatJhe annual inspection of this farm by the Sanitary -Sub-committee of the Health Committee has just taken place, and the members were, of cburse, gratified to find that this farm is another of the prosperous municipal, undertakings yielding a substantial sum annually to the corporate coffers.
