commend TO the unemployed the cultivation
OF small farms or gardens near the towns.
Land should be rented for these purposes at
q low figure. payable IN produce. A place
to live in does not cost much, and an Irish
man and his family can earn their living at
least on one of those patches of ground verS
comfortably. 1t is too late, this year, TO
raise crops, but IL is not too late TO move
out, set up the shanty, the pig pen, and the
hen Ioost, from which the income will be
steady. The city, without doubt, will glad
ly furnish forth the larder with potatoes and
cabbages, and another harvest, well hus-
banded, will bring Independence. The COM
NUDITY furnishes q constant and dear mar
ket for butter, eggs, chickens, potatoes, all
kinds OF vegetables, and berries, while the
slackness of our garbage system still affords
sustenance TO all the swine for which any
one will gather the swiIl. We contend that
