Note 403 — Chapter I · THE NEW RURAL ECONOMY
Reading edition
Owing to the advantages which the small holding has for dairy purposes (personal attention to cattle, &c.), it is still the custom in parts of the country, e.g. Devonshire, for the large farmers to sublet small dairy farms out of their holdings, and to supply the lessee with all the stock, including the cows and the cottage. See Levy, Large and Small Holdings, chap. ix.
