FARMING TRIALS.

Parliament may well be called upon to think of the
British farmer. Various measures of relief are pro-
atand others are being demanded. The grays
ty is to reconcile the claims of landlords and
tenants. The man who gains by inheritance, or secures
by the @eying' from snooe•dal labour, some acres of
land, may naturally desire MOM pad therefrom. If
It were • mill, • shop, a mine, or • humble craft, the
owner of the property could demand security from the
lbw and sorely land proprietorship has • claim to pro-
tection. Tenants, on the other hand, rightly contend
that with a commodity so necessarily limited in supply
se land is, some special treatment is required. They
urea that the State should prevent the few monopolists
of the eon from making those conditions whichu
the body politic, but which have been enforced
through the undue competition of would-be lessees.
WHhout going into the question of reform, or debat-
ing the respective advantages of Ulster. Glamorgan,
and other systems of tenure, does it not seem likely
that emigration would solve some of the difficulties?
No one can reasonably meet that removal to the
United States, or to one of our colonies, means abso-
lute riddance of every vexation, for Ott trait of the
serpent is orer at= all. But that many • fanner or
term labourer has bemefitted his position in life by
such a removal is an uncontested fact. There an
those who combf not. for personal or family reasons,
leave their native land; as there are those who would
not leave. These must be content to struggle on here.

put tip with apparently increasing family expenses in
Beettad, from our ever developing luxury, with a too
probable diminution of revenue.
There are, however, those not withheld by personal or
relative obligations from considering emigration, and to
whom the deliveranee from some "Terming Trials" may
be obvious. Rabbits and harm though recently intro-
doced into Australia and New Zeeland, do not receive
