Gentleman's Magazine 1891 part 2 p.136
but I wish that the system did not stand so grievously in
the way, in many districts, of better farming and more
successful English, as opposed to foreign, work. I should
like to see a combination of all classes to bring about good
and cheap mutton; plentiful game, butter, and eggs;
vegetables and fruit in perfection and in plenty. Lastly,
from the game- and sheep-stocked moors let us hope soon to
hear the drowsy hum of bees, whose various homes shall be,
with the other living things, on every farm. If town and
country are neither of them misled by any
"Peggy-wi'-t'-lantern," but combine for the benefit of all,
we may yet attain a golden prime, both in our cities and on
our moorland farms.
GEORGE RADFORD.
