Tho Garden and the Farm.


In a somewhat extended journey we have
had our eyes open to see the farmers gar
dens. We have seen the poor patches, called
gardens, in which peas and beans were
struggling with mustard and other weeds,
and, as far as we could see, the weeds gen
orally had the best of it. Peas, beans, cab
bages, cucumbers, beets, squashes, and, rare
ly, tomatoes, make up the usual variety
How rarely we see an asparagus bed, while
spinach, egg plant, satisfy, okra, and even
sweet corn are seldom met with. How
farmer can do without asparagus and sweet
corn, is beyond our comprehension. The
one, when once established, will yield for
years a supply in early spring, just at the
time when all green things arc scarce, and
therefore the more acceptable the other, as
easily raised as any other corn, and no one
who has once tasted its delicious kernels
will ever again 20 to the field for roasting
ears.
We must mention one notable exception
to this general neglect. Not far from Glen's
Falls. N. u, We passed farm which at
tracted attention from the excellent condi-
ton OF its fences and the neat appearance of
Its fields. Upon nearing the house, our eyes
were delighted with the sight Of a large and
well Kept kitchen garden, in which there APP
peared to be an extensive variety OF esculent
vegetables. Had it not rained torrents, we
should have tried to ascertain the name of
this exemplary farmer-we know from the
looks Of his garden that he reads the Agri-
cuiturist, and we congratulate him and his
family that they can enjoy SO many of the
good things that earth affords to those who
will take little trouble to procure them. If
farmers would grow a few acres less of corn
or wheat, and devote the labor required for
these to n roDl Kitchen garden IL would nav
in the saving Of meat, and doubly pay in the
amount of satisfaction and contentment it
would bring. Farmers, do you know that
the sameness and unattractiveness Of the ia
bic has much 10 do with the desire of your
sons to leave home Contcntment with dali
ly pork and potatoes, with IN occasional va
ration to cabbage, is hardly to be expected.
A family garden is humanizing. -dmeri-
