The Agriculturist recounts English farming under strict leases. Rent runs from 20 to 15 dollars per acre yearly, land must remain in good condition with at least 50 dollars per acre invested in artificial fertilizers.

A stone dairy on a hillside near an icehouse uses two slate lined pipes buried in the ground to circulate air.
