Not illustrated. 1892 Excerpt: ...are green. The combined science of all the agricultural colleges in Kngland could not produce on say some of the chalky subsoils of East Anglia, the thick permu. nent pasture that lies here like a green heavy carpet on the clay. In that lies the explanation of the mystery. The cow has saved Cheshire. For a working man to look after two or three aeres of meadow in addition to performing his usual tasks is a very light matter as coml#ared with what it would be to dig or otherwise work a much smaller quantity of arable.
