The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 71

English Farmers

English Farmers.

"Something may be said of another class of people who, devoting themselves to farming pursuits in the United Kingdom, have few, if any, prospects of improving their position. They cannot hope to be freeholders in England, but they may become owners of properties in New Zealand at a less annual cost than they have been accustomed to pay in rent. They can get as many bushels from an acre as they can in Great Britain; they can keep their cattle in the open air the whole year round; and they can lay down land to grass which will feed the year round from two to five sheep to the acre.
