with the comparison between it and
Missouri. You would not fence such
land or pay taxes on it. Vow would
think that, like self-rightoousncss, the
more man had of it, the worse he
was oft; and yet those men make more
money off their lands than you do.
But it is their domestic market that
enables them to. do it. They can sell
milk, blackberries, strawberries, rasp-
berries, turnips, carrots, cabbages, pars-
nips, eggs, chickens, young geese,
lambs, and calves, and all such things,
at their own doors and at high prices,
and all their staples arc sold at home.
