more subvtantially fed than those of the average

lu evitland, while the prim pair! for agricultural
labour is more uniform than in England, the form of
peyonent sonic very much. and the oonditioes of the
ploughman's life are very different in one part of the
etientrr from what they are in other,. In mime dis-
tricts, including the bighly-onitimied meth.matern
counties, every ploughman in a householder. living with
hie family i• a cottage situated sear the steadieg of the
farm upon whist. he works, while the anntral districts,
ineluding Stirling, Perth, Forfar, end Hineardine, are
cultivated under what is called the " Batty syetem."
To Dare the building of cottages, the labourers as the

In a common apartment, in most came by themselves.
Their wages toosiot of motley. milk sod meal. The
money varies how £l6 to no • year. according to the
age or qualification' of the ploughman, but the pay-
ment in "kind" is in almost every ems identical. Of
oatmeal the lament resolves 174 lb. per week. and
of new milk 12 gills per day. Some potatoes are
generally added in winter; but this is properly a
gratuity.
In Perthshire, widish may be looked up= am in the
centre of the system the men breakfast and sup on
porridge and milk, and dine at mid-day upon "brae"
and milk. In all eases the whole allowance of milk is
used, bet in roost instanoso • portion of the meal is sold, ,

tea, ehmen, baeon, god herrings may no doubt
occasionally enter into the dietary of the bothyman,
but, upon the whole, his fare is almost absolutely
uniform As regards milk, the only wish of the men
is to get mom of it ; and as r. the dist as • whole,
we believe a Forfarvbire ploughman expressed the
general opinion when he m to us that "he had lived
36 years on meal and milk, and ha did not like =Ohba/
elm." There are many races of men whose food is so
wimple and as unvaried as that of the bothy-inen : the
South fies Weeder with his bread-fruit and mow
nuts, the Hindoo with his rice, the Arab with his milk
and dates, the Neapolitan with hia maocarooi, the Gumbo
with his endless beef, and. meet curious of all, Um Tierra
del raceme with his single orypiceamic plant, • tree-
growing fungus, edam raw. We doubt, however. if any
other dietary could be so accurately estim sted es to
weight and quantity as tmo fficoesh ploughman's uniform
allowaness of milk and meal.
