CURIOUS CitLCULLTION.

A human being is supposed to consume anneally tht pro-,
duce of rather inure than 3fr acres of land, namely, pall an
acre for bread, of ditto for beer, cider, &c. 1-50th ditto,
for vegetables, and ‘,2i ditto mumal food; 39 stoue ot which
each person, on an aver Ige
.population of !en millions, is
computed to devour. It is estimated that there are in
England and Wales 1,759,000 horses for labour and pleasure,
and that they, with colts, &c. require for their su:Tort
7,500,000 acres of land. in the county of 51 duiesex •
the number of taxed pleasure horses in 1797, was 1'e,7!66;
for agriculture, &c. 12,709—t0tal 30,97 5. The cultivated
lands in Lngland and Wales, allowing 3,603,000 acres for
hedges, copses, wood, water, and roads, is computed at
39,027,000, of which about 14,000,000 are supposed to
be arable: namely, 5,550,000 under wneaL 1,0 0,060
barley and rye; 3,500,000 oats and bans : 1000,000 clover,
rye grass, &c.. a like quantity under tuaiip. and other
roots ; and 2,800,000 lost annually by the i;enerally inju-
rious system of fallow.
The commons and waste lands are slated at 7.889,000
acres, in king the whole snperticies of the kingdom
46,916,000 acres. -The metropolis consumes butchers meat
to the amount of seven millions sterling annually. A calf
fed for the London market is stated to consume as m-ch
milk.as would make a hundred weight of cheese. The
number of sheep in England and Wiles, according to the
evidence given on passing the wool bill, exceeds loch mil-'
lions ; of w hich, including three millions of lambs, about
fifteen millions are killA annually. The total annual pro-
duce of 46,916,000 acres is estimated at 126,720,000/. which'
costs in labour, artificers, and horse-keep, 56,720,000/.
leaving an annual net merease in value on the produce of-
of the land to the amount of 70 millions sterling ; of which
the landlord is snpposcd to receive 42 parts, taxes and
tithes 13, and the farmers 15. This latter allotnient• we
presume to have been made at a period infinitely less pro-
ductive to the farmer than the present.
