i Farmers do not generally realize the
| advantage, the profit, of good garden,
because they do not sell what is raised IN
| it, nor buy vegetables if they do not raise
| them, and yet if they do not raise them
they have to buy other things TO use in
stead, or use up what they might other
wise sell. There is no better way to esti-
mate the value of garden produce than by
| its price in the market Men who raise
We getables to sell get from two to five
| hundred dollars per acre, at whole
sale prices, and the consumer pays
much more Now if the laborer and me-
chanic in the city (where bread and meat
are nearly as cheap as in the country find
it economical TO buy vegetables at prices
that would pay the gardener from four
| hundred to one thousand dollars per acre,
the garden is surely worth half as much
to the farmer A good garden Is worth
more money, saves more money, than ten
| times the amount of land will yield IN
ordinary field crops, and every man who
neglects it loses his best opportunity TO
make money. But poor garden Is a
| disgrace 10 q farm, and time and money
| thrown away-poor soil, planted too late
/ and covered with weeds-this is its his
| tory, and failure is the result.-RurdI Men
| Yorker.
