soldiers vs.. Vegetables.

All eyes are now turned to the months that bring
the vegetables and al mouths open and water in that d.
reetion Il is believed that the gardens and truck
matches the country over are the agencies, and the
only ones that can cope successfully with the amiable
gentlemen who consent for trAing remuneration, to
sell cooked food to hungry customers. 1t Is thought
that green peas going to knock board down to next

keepers. These may be but idle faneies born of an
empty epigassrium and Aaecd purse, hut they are
cherished with exceeding iOndness.

expectations for the market gardeners affirm that raise
what they may, nothing be brought to town, be-
cause the country swarms with a Of beings no
subsst on green vegetables purchased at night when
the owner is rot present Now this is very good way
for the hueksters to secure in advance short crop
which, of course will bring high prices. The earth is
as fertile as ever the promises to be an unusually
tine one for fruits and vegetables, great deal Of land

disastrous character are sure to befal the crops
Rut these omniyorous and Unsuitable soldiers are at
the bottom of all our rural wees! Who can keep
soldier out Of garden after he has pulled down the
fence and burned it, and his commanding officer has
cursed you for a niggardy coward and Union, man be-
cause YOU dared TO object these Outrages? This Is
severe upon the vegetable and not very eredtable

orner Of cart full Of vegetables comes TO town. and
M, being able to sell them all at the fixed high price,
sbsratey carries them back home and feeds them to

officers are responsible for accidents OF this Sort
The market nan has nothing to do With t-there Is no
combination for high prices among the hucksters ana
there is pressing necessity for giving pet pigs "nA'
poor people would be glad to pay a reasonable price

As for the unfortunates who are neither market gar
deners officers nor soldiers their case is hard one
They can neither steal the vegetables nor curse the
gardener and it is quite out Of their power to regulate
production TO suit prices or, in default Of that TO
sluander green peas and asparagus on pigs They
keep no pigs wear no uniform, draw no pay from the
government and have no power to digest green beets
