But where does all the marketing come

the soil which | have given above. Ii you Will
take q walk with me q mile or two outside this or

that every halibushel potatoes or mess or two OF

a email tract of building lots the other day just
outside the wall near the Stettln Railway station,
and entered into conversation with man who was
hceing potatoes. All sand as It 49, he told me that
If tie gardeners can get possession OF these bits OF
land for two or three seasons they can make them

! which was forming in one corner it clear to
nv MIND that even sand bank may be cultivated
where the induce ment is sufficient On one side

There are no sewers; in their stead every street
has deep gutter on each side, and such quantities
