uESEnAL AGRICULTURE.

reference to oar agricultural claims and proa-
pects. Farming as huanoss, In tho raiaing Of

portions. being confined 70 small tracts OF land,
onco "mareh" in tho valloys. Whatever vcgo-
hbloB iayo been raiBod, however. hnvo baeu Of
largo yield, magnificent development, aud good
quality. But as got thcro is scarco enough
raised for homo-consumption, NTH tho excep-
tiou Of potatoes, that arc unusually thrifty aud
