At one of the farmers meetings held in
connection with the last State fair in New
Hampshire Hon. Joseph B. Walker spoke
of English farming, His remarks are very
interesting. We take them from the Man
chester Mirror
went across the water a year ago and
tried to keep both eyes open, and [ will
speak of what the agricultural eye saw. 1t
strikes you at first that England is a small
country; it is but 400 miles long and its
greatest width is 100 miles; it is but five and
half times as large as New Hampshire,
but while we have a populatisn of 35 to
every square mile, England has 400 to
square mile. This ls an important fact bear
ing upon English agriculture, and accounts
for many differences
In England you are struck by finding
more large towns than you expect, and the
large cities you read of are much larger
than you expect to find them. With such
dense populations, England must pursue
different methods of culture from us. Again
the climate is different from ours; it is mild
or, for though their latitude is about the
same as Newfoundland, the atmosphere
is moist and mild.
[ saw cattle and sheep getting pretty
good living out of doors in.January. While
visiting farm l0 miles from London on the
Il
ting out cabbage plants, and he said they
would be fit to eat about Christmas.
The annual rainfall in England ia not
very large, but the showers are very fre
uuenr YOU are never safe to go abroad
without an umbrella. There ia much mois-
ture in the air and this gives the country
verdant appearance. They suffer little
from drouth and can raise cattle better
than we. England is a finished country ;
- Il, Al
nothing to do but settle down.
The best soil they have is soil we would
do nothing with mean the clay soil.
Without undertaking, England would be
able to do nothing at farming. There are
no forests in England. Land is worth too
much to raise wood on except in some OF
the mountains east Of Scotland.
We find no wooden buildings there. The
Euglishman cannot afford to buy any lum-
Der, 80 he buys brick and stone, and buildt
of them, Their architecture is better thar
ours. and some Of the poorest cottages
which are hardly as good as barns, have 6

The sample cottage of the laborer ii
found in Ann Hathaways, the home of the
wife of Shakespeare. 1t is very poor anC
mean affair, containing one room with
chimney through which you can see th'
sky. The house of small farmer is o
stone, small though comfortable, and no
az good as those Of New Hampshire farm
era. There are no barns in England ex
cent horse barns. They have hay stacks.
Once on going out West got left in

resist the extreme demands that are GER
tain to be made upon him by the extreme
man from the section that elected him re-
mains to be seen. He has declared that he
will veto all allowances of rebel claims, and
possibly we may rely upon his purpose to
do so, but of his ability to hold in check the
vehement aud aggrandizing Southern lead
ers who will now leap to the front and en-
!. force their demand to control affairs, we
|may take the best possible view and yet re-
Ep ain very doubtful. The universal expert
snce of the country has been that North
ern man chosen by the Solid South has al
ways been "doughface," and has always
anced obediently to the music of his mas
srs.
Mr.. Tildens election is indeed "a
ange." 1t brings into power after sixteen
ara of exclusion, the men who went out
control by their adherence to the policy
tlisunion. They now resume the con-
ol they forfeited. 1t is new reginae-a
Aew order of things. Whether it will re-
turn to the country the same sort OF Sec
tional temper and policy that characterized
the rule of the same class Of men before
the War must remain for experience to dis
close. We confess we fear it will. We
shall have Confederate" policy and a
Confederate" Government. The ideas OF
Calhoun and Jefferson Davis are to be
y 9oIstea 70 the masthead triumphant over
those of the Northern statesmen, and their
practical operations will be of the old sort
sectional, not national &; for the South,
not for the Union for party's sake, never
for the general good. ?.
Well let us await the disclosure of the
future with fortitude, at least. What il
right and just must triumph. Much has
been accomplished, thank God that ever
Bourbon Democrats cannot undo.
