The only high class cultivation really so is to be found in the goind lands round the villages and hamlets, and it depends generally on the density of the population, and what they can lay out in manure and irrigation, as to whether the goind can be extended or not. As manure and water can be applied to the farthest corners of the village, so will the productive powers of the soil be increased, and a possibility of raising the finer crops exist. But manure is scarce, and such scanty supply as there is, is more often used for cooking, and for fuel for brick-making, than for re-invigorating the soil. Stock is at a minimum; the cultivated land is 480,274 acres; the number of beasts, all told, is 262,032, not much more than one to every two acres; none of the manure is saved in farm-yards, but the beasts are allowed to stray out in the jungles ; 240,847 are of the cow tribe, and, for eight months in the year, the women of the lower castes are engaged in making cow-dung cakes to stack in front of their houses for fuel for household purposes, or to sell for kilns, in order to add some small mite to their daily earnings. Rente. -The rents on the different kinds of soils in all the parganas are given in the annexed table. They were those used for the assessment of the district. They have been deduced only from the lands held by tenants- at-will, and paying a money rent. Applied throughout to the zamindar's sír, to the Brahman's mudfi, and the batái lands of the village, assets would have amounted to Rs. 25,57,756; but the assumed assets for assessment have been taken only at Rs. 23,77,236, Goind.
