ISLAND POND VEGETABLE FARM
We had the pleasure Of going over
this celebrated farm last Saturday,
and must confess that we were truly
surprised at the style in which il was
kept, every rod of ground being uti-
lized for some purpose. The vege
tables and fruits were a pleasure to
look at, and our people here can be
supplied with almost anything they
need in the farm produce line in their
proper seasons, instead Of sending to
the cities for them Our thanks are
due Mr.. Willoughby the genial pro-
prietor, for generous supply of new
potatoes, radishcs and lettuces, we
enjoyed them muchly.
