acre- The other vareties of clay soil in the county are also treated in at analogous manner, though the processes are differeit, mail being used where it can be obtained, and bunt clay also to a limited extent. With reference to the farm buildings in Essex some advances to e better state of things in this respect have been made on the estates of Lord Petre and a few others; but much still remains to be done. The common practice appears to be that the tenant should erect the buildings and provide the labour, the proprietor finding the materials. The side walls are usually of wood, and the roof of thatch, though we saw some slated; the yards are profusely littered with straw ; the hcraepond frequently placed so as to receive the whole liquid manure of the farm, the hay and corn stacks aie built up close at hand; and anything more suggestive of the necessity of fire insurance than the whole range of premises it is hardly possible to conceive. In this county fncen* diarism has of late years been very prevalent, and no one who looks at the mass of inflammable me* terials, collected as it were in a pile, and inviting the lucifer match of some discontented labourer, can wonder that crime has followed such temptation.mi_ _ ____-c .A.mencnt imnrnvpmpnt
