Overview

Excerpt from Transactions of the Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland, Vol. 9: With an Abstract of the Proceedings, the Premiums Offered by the Society in 1877, and List of Members Suffice it to say, that within the present century, agriculture in both Mid and West Lothian has advanced rapidly, in draining; in the deep culture of the soil; in the extended use of machinery; in the introduction and appliance of steam power to many of the most laborious offices of the farm; in the use of extraneous feeding stuffs and artificial manures in the scientific knowledge possessed by the leading farmers; in a word, in almost every thing pertaining to the satisfaction of the proprietor, the prosperity of the farmer, the happiness of the labourer, and the welfare of the community at large, as meat and bread consumers. Not that during the past seventy odd years there have been no depressions; great lessons are seldom taught without a certain amount of sacrifice on some one's part, and the agricultural panics of the present century have doubtless driven many a help less, honest, and struggling farmer to the wall.
