The traveller i?.> England is iin pressed at the outset with the strength and permanence of all mechanical structure* and the thoroughness of all agricultural; work. The sides and embank ments of tin* railways which with ns are left waste are seeded down and often mown. The"cat - ! fle are fat, the Imrses tine. The land is luxuriant with the thrift of grass mid picturesque with hedges. Few scattered dwel j lings are seen from (lie railway j between Liverpool and London, i but the country is like a great j park. The grain is sown in large fields tp'Aulli us, and in it, and in wood- and corners of the hedges and at the feet of bridges, and whenever a weed may grow, wild poppies spring, bright and glow ing as the eornations of onr gar dens. Between Loudon and Dover we come into a district where hops are grown, and 1 noticed that the row appeared closer together than with us, although the tillage seemed lhe same. In everything we see English solidity and strength. The roadbeds of llie railways are the best l have ev er seen in many thousand miles of railway travel. Where with ns wooden.bridges, needing re pairs in ten years, would be thrown across (jeep cuts, the Ell •Hi liman has built stone Arches ihal will e.tuUtre for centuries. Where in -Ww York the architect lalat up buildings seven, eight or nine stories high, with walls twenty inches thick at the base, t lie architect in London gives a three foot thick ness to a wall of three stories; while we lay wood pavements mi sand or on a thin foundation of boards to be spoil ed in two years, the English lay 1 beni on solid beds of concrete that sustain the blocks until they are destroved hv actual wear.— We I >ii iit I lor immediate use, the Kd.olishmnn lor till time. Our methods have mown from the urgent needs of anew country of vast extent ; theirs are the re still ol (In' growth of tin energet ic people laboring through ages within a eonfined space. Each hitsils merits ami advantages, and the methods of each could profitably modify lliose of the oth er. The quick adaptability of the American would add nerve lo English solidity, anti onr haste* to achieve rapid results at the 100 frequent cost of abs'olule excel lence could well be modified bv .judicious study of English indus tries and engineering. And litis i~ now occurring lo a very great extent. I found in England a full nml lair appreciation of Anteri can invent ions ami improve meats, ami I am informed by inamifaeturers of machinery al home that then* is. a constantly increasing tendency iu this coun try it, add lo weight and Trength ■M machinery in emulation of ITiilish work. Wo ci if. Hit- Channel, and in I ranee wo liinl ,i Irong contrast lo what wo aw in Britain. There art* no fence dividing llie fields, Idil mi each iile of the railway il - hedge, wi ll liimmeil. which ex lend unbroken ;ill the way; dwellings ;ire caftered here and there, and mall village-are plen tv, in wliieli the people seem lo cln-lor a hee to hive. The lan 1 i> divided oil into little strips Ironi fifteen to thirty feel wide, and each i own with a ditferejil crop wheal mi one, oat- on an olhet and -u on (lie various • •fop alternating, u there ma.\ l>c -e\ eraldi linct patches ofeach crop. 11l ii in obedience to nmc v tom of rotation, each plat being mannoed by its*lf.—- Imanure is applied just after harvest, and ploughed in. The results of this tillage are marvel lons. 1 have seen grain on West ern prairies and California fields, but never such wealth of sheaves <m so little ground, li is garden care and garden euliiratiou ap plied to lield crops. Few or no barns are seen, and no sign of mowing machine or reaper. The grain is stacked iu the fields, Ili' straw being laid so smooth on the sloping lops of (he stacks as to form a perfect thatch. Tin' reaping is done by hand, often, indeed, with t.he syekle for this thrill is the thrill ofeonsfaiit la bor, and such tillage can only ex ist among a people that, are pa lienl, frugal and imliisti bills.— .Many women are seen w o. Ring in the fields. They often do Hie work of men, and it is they who, as in ancient times, glean -the lields in iln' track of the reapers. Once or twice in this part 01 France I saw a patch of Indian corn, dwarfed and poor. This crop does not take kindly to the soil of France. Not so the pop pies ; they are grown to some ex tent as a field crop, cut when at the proper stage of growth, bound into sheave about three inches thick and then set up iu conical slacks. In the pasture lands are ecu many white horses. The number of them is very gieat. In I’are the omnihusses are almo-l with out exception, drawn by white stallions. Fuel is scarce and dear in France, a> we see front small trees cut line, and brush wood hound up in fagots for sale, and from peat fields where tin peat, cut in the squared shape of large bricks, is set up on edge or laid in the shape of eobhousev to dry on the surface of the lield before being -ent lo market. Windmills are used for grinding grain and for other purposes;! they are very large, and frequent ly a single mill requires a regu lar crew of several men to man age it. Tins part of Fiance is level or slight I v rollinr;. The soil, though very rich from its careful tillage, is not deep, and is underlaid with limestone. The roads, stretching away in the distance, |<ok like white rib lions upon the ground. As the French producer shows labor and frugality in producing, so does be show care arid frugal ily in buying. 1 saw a load of bay as it came into Paris; the bay was bound into little bundles, no regard being had to laying ii straight. These were not more than three incites thick, and were manifestly calculated for the most economical disbursement to the animals for which t,he\ were designed. In some of the more rugged parts of France through which I passed on my way back from Switzerland, Hie methods of tillage varied, but in the grain growing districts the strip system for rotation was the favorite. In tin* wine growing districts the vineyards are placed frequently on the slopes of the mountains, even to utmost verge of the ara ble land, for the lies! wine is grown on a volcanic soil, and a bushel of the gray detritus from a mountain summit may l>c worth many a square yard of richer soil. In the grain growing fields the ploughing i done with ploughs' having a Iwo wheeled axle at*' (ached lo the forward end of (he beam to secure an even furrow, and the ploughing I aw wa shallow. In Belgium I in-crop- are grown on the alternating trip y lem. The yield was large. In lim e places where the liarve t wa re moved there w ere sheep grazing, guarded by shepherd dogs, and sometimes cattle in charge of hard' men. Mile after mile there j are no division fences. (Occasion ally a plantation of young tree designed to be cut on reaching a certain growth, and frequently long traight line-of poplar are seen breaking the monotony of the level land. Fields of ngar beets appear. In preparing tin land, very black and well rotted mamire i applied upon ihe in (ace and well worked in. A we approach the city of Bru el a few teneed field appear. Around the park in Brussels is a curion line of trees trained espalier. The bram he- extend in one di rection their full length, in the other only a few inches, thus# | sul>K<*riptio™>j "TT" • | giving Hu* park a foliage.
