ground OH the western slope CT the
hill west OF the school-house, and pro-
poses to devote it to farming purposes.
The idea of a kitchen garden in these
wastes is certainly a novelty. But
Mr.. Berg has a better thing even than
the artesian wells SO successfully ad-
vocated by the late A. Sutro Kendall.
Major McCoy's large sc, 000-gallon
tank is on the summit above him, and
from this Mr.. Berg has arranged to So
cure an abundant supply OF water for
irrigating purposes, and as the warm
days cofne upon us we may expect to
see that portion of the wilderness bios
som like a rose. We expect, ere long,
to see Mr.. Berg offering in the market
everything fresh and green that III
tempt the palate.
