TIIE Journal (like Agricultural Society of Ireland
for last month contains an article by Sir ROBERT
KANE, entitled, "The Large or Small Farm Question
Cooside.ed," in which be promulgates his sentiments
on the economical condition of Ireland. The reputa-
tion of Sir ROBERT KANE, and the public position
hick be has held, give a sort of scientific, and at
the same time official, weight to his opinions, and
therefore common sense and common arithmetic,
coming from him, may carry an authority which, on
the wretched subject of Ireland, they seldom obtain
by their intrinsic merits. The clamourers against
small holdings and the division of the land may per-
haps give heed to him, when he proves by figures that
small farms, in the existing circumstances of Ireland,
are a necessity ; since on the large farm system
there would 6 employment for no more than
two-fifths of the present agricultural popula-
tion, the other three-fifths becoming paupers,
jo be supported from the produce raised by the la-
bour of the former. Perhaps, too, such an authority
will be believed when he says that a small farm
(meaning not the thirty acres of the Farmers Estate
Bill, but farms of from ten to fourteen acres), " will
always," when the skill of the farmer and his ap-
pliances are equal, " produce more, acre for acre, and
pay a higher rent than the large farm ;" and he sees
no reason why the appliances should not be equal,
for there is, according to him, among the cultivating I
classes of Ireland, " a vast quantity of capital which
would be rapidly drawn forth under a proper small-
farm system." "If the real circumstances of the
small farmers of Ireland be looked into, it will be
found that the investment of a capital of from 801. to
90/. on a farm of fourteen acres" would be by no
mears beyond their capability. " There exists," he
continues, " amongst our poorer classes a show of
poverty beyond what even the reality would justify.
They are afraid to let it be known they
have money, lest their rent should be raised ; they
are afraid to improve their land, lest their rent
should be raised ; they are afraid to wear
good clothes, lest they might appear to
be deriving more front tf e produce of their
farm than the miserable means of physical exis-
tence which their landlord will allow them to retain.
Hence the money hid in thatch and hived in barns.
hence the secret and illegal deposits in savings'
banks in fictitious names."

It is hardly possible, we should think, for the most
exclusive admirer of English farming to read this
paper, and continue to believe that the most
available remedy for Irish poverty is the
clearing of estates and consolidation of small
farms into large ones ; and if the writer
is correct in his opinion that there exists in the
hands of small farmers sufficient capital for car-
rying on " a proper small-farm system" in such a
manner as to yield, acre for acre, a greater produce
than that of large farms, the road to the economical
regeneration of Ireland is sufficiently plain. The
reader who has followed Sir ROBERT KANE thus far
is anxious to know how, in his opinion, this " proper
small-farm system" is to be arrived at. e are
sorry to be obliged to tell him that, on
this subject, he will get no help from Sir R.

three conditions—a state of war, a state of peace, or a
state of fear and precaution. That which we should
