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.
