_4th. Garden._--One acre of land in England, produces more vegetables than five acres in the United States, taking the year throughout. N.B. This matter has been most grossly misrepresented. _5th. Grazing Land._--During five months in the year, there is no pasture for cattle. _6th. Price of Land._--Varies from 50 to 100 dollars with improvements, that is, with a good house and barn. _7th. Timber._--Sufficient exists at present; but should the population increase rapidly, it will become a scarce article. _8th. Game._--Scarce; which is generally the case through the States. No country in the world is worse supplied with game, and in a few years the game will be entirely annihilated, owing to the extreme inclemency of the winters, and there being no cover for them in the woods. {441} _9th. Fish._--Taking the States through, the supply of this article is trifling. _10th. Farmers._--The generality of this class are Germans of the lowest grade; industrious, but nothing further, and forming no society for an English yeoman. The rest of the population is composed of descendants of the old settlers and of low people of Irish origin. _11th. Residence._--An emigrant requires at the least twelve months. N.B. The United States teem with jobbing lawyers, land speculators, and swindlers. _12th. Grazing and stall-feeding cattle for market._--This line might be followed to advantage with a capital of 4,000 dollars, and with what is of more consequence, the knowledge of dealing or trafficking, for without such knowledge the noble would soon be reduced to nine-pence. A twelve months' residence is, therefore, indispensably necessary, for without being fully initiated in the diabolical arts of _lying out_, _swearing out_, _swindling out_, and _thieving out_, ruin is inevitable. _13th. Society._--There is none for an Englishman of the old school, who would scorn to tell a lie, or see his fellow man in want. _14th. Happiness._--Must be found in your own family; the fruits of your farm will supply every want, and whilst the government of the United States continues as at present, you will be secured in that happiness. {442} _15th._--One matter I had almost forgot, which I must not omit to mention, as you most likely will be asked questions on the subject by many of that most useful and invaluable class, English husbandmen. _1st. Wages._--The highest wages given at this time for _harvest_ are, 2_s._ 3_d._ per day, English money, and found in provision and bad whiskey. _2nd. Working hours._--From sunrise to sunset, full sixteen hours. _3d. How long does the harvest last?_--About three weeks. _4th. Is it warm in harvest time?_--Excessively so. The thermometer ranges from 86 to 120. It is impossible to have a just idea of it without actual experience. And, what is of more consequence, an English husbandman would be more _debilitated_ in _three years_ in the United States, than in _sixteen years_ in England.
