The district, with its capital city, Fleeceborough, really is distinct, well marked, and defined.

The very soil and substrata are characteristic.

The products are wheat, and cattle, and sheep, the same as elsewhere, but the proportions of each, the kind of sheep, the traditionary methods and farm customs are separate and marked.

The rotation of crops is different, the agreements are on a different basis, the very gates to the fields have peculiar fastenings, not used in other places.

Instead of hedges, the fields, perhaps, are often divided by dry stone walls, on which, when they have become old, curious plants may sometimes be found.
