Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Exhaustion of the Soil: In Relation to Landlords´ Covenants, and the Valuation of Unexhausted Improvements; Read Before the London Farmer´s Club, April 4, 1870 A comparison of the conditions and practice of the agriculture of this country at the commencement of the present century with those which now prevail, brings to view many important changes. Among the more prominent of these is, not only the great improvement in those descriptions of machinery which were then in use, but the introduction and the very general employment of a large number of entirely new machines, adapted to almost every requirement of the farm. Not less characteristic elements of modern advancement and still continued progress are the improvement of our breeds of stock and the use of oilcakes and other purchased cattle-foods, contributing to early maturity and to a greatly increased production of both meat and animal manures; and lastly, the employment of large quantities of imported, and what are commonly called artificial manures, as distinguished from those which are produced on the farm by the feeding of stock. Coincident with these changes has been a rise in the value and rent of land; much greater in the case of the light than in that of the heavier description of soil. As a necessary consequence, too, much more capital has been expended in the cultivation of a given area of land.
