The helm and ropes of the establishment obey the motion of one mind with the same readiness and harmony.
A fact or two may serve an American farmer as a tangible measure whereby to estimate the extent of the operations thus conducted by one man.

To come up to the standard of scientific and successful agriculture in England, it is deemed requisite that a tenant farmer, on renting an occupation, should have capital sufficient to invest 10 pounds, or $50, per acre in stocking it with cattle, sheep, horses, farming implements, fertilisers, etc.

Mr.Jonas, beyond a doubt, invests capital after this ratio upon the estate he tills.
If so, then the total amount appropriated to the land which he _rents_ cannot be less than 30,000 pounds, or nearly $150,000.

The inventory of his live stock, taken at last Michaelmas, resulted in these figures:--Sheep, 6,581 pounds; horses, 2,487 pounds; bullocks, 2,218 pounds; pigs, 452 pounds; making a grand total of 11,638 pounds.

Every animal bred on the estate is fatted, but by no means with the grain and roots grown upon it.
