the character of the farenirs et this district at the pre-
sent day. They appear to me to possess more of that
commercial energy, that restless activity ant steady
pereinetaue that capacity for large operations which
diitte!zoiee our commercial and manufacturing men of
the Merin claw, than any egricalturists I had before
met with. All the farms of this district are large,
some of them very lure, and the ordinary atone of
culture it a high ore. Indeed, re thin and weak
is the natural staple of the soil, that, unless
well farmed, its produce most be very small.
In Arthur Your g's time all the land be-
tween Dayton and Trhwell • was rabbit warren,
where now is some of th 3 most spirited fanning in
Koghed. Here bee two gentlemen of the name of
Chattaton who occur two large firms as tenants of
Mr. Cnsplin, and certainly nothing could be finer
than tht crops of bards% I saw growing on their land.
A third brother resides on another large term at a
pla-e, the name of which I forget, a few miles die
tun. All the'. three carry on their business in part-
ntrehip, and hive a tomtit farm of large extent at a
distance which they also hold jointly. So successful
hare they been, that asides the large capital re-
quired to early on their immense business, they have
heenenabied to purchase the whole perish of S tenigot,
eontaining 1,500 acres, and which they have taken
two-thirds of into their own hanes, and are about to
obtain recession of the remainder at Michaelmas.
