WHAT Wa RAISED On AN ACRE.-A
farmer living in Maine makes Il statement
of what he has raised last year on an acre
of land-almost enough we should think, to
support family. He planted one-third ofhis
acre with corn, and usually produced thirty
bushels of good corn. This quantity was
sufficient for his family and for fattcning
two or three large hogs. From the same
ground on which the corn stood, he raised
two or three hundred pumpkins and al ann
pie supply of beans. From bed six yards
square he usually obtained sixty bushels of
onions; these he sold for 81 Il bushcl. which
amount purchased his flour for one year.
Thus from one-third of an acre and an onion
bed he obtained his bread-stufls and two
or three hundred pounds of pork. The re-
mainder Of the ground was appropriated to
all kinds Of vegetables for both summer and
winter use He also had flower garden,
raspberries, currants, gooseberries in great
abundance, also few choice apple, plum,
pear, peach and ounce trees.
