Whatwas Raised on an Acre.

A farmer living in MAINE makes state,
ment of what he had raised last year on
an acre of land-almost enough, we
should think, to support family. He
planted one-third of his acre in corn,
and he usually produced thirty bushels
of good corn. This quantity was suffi-
cient for his fan lily use and for fatten.
ing two or three large hogs. From the
same ground on which the corn stood
he raised some three hundred pumpkins
and an ample supply of beans.
From bed 16 yards square he usu-
ally obtained sixty bushels of onions;
these he sold for 81 bushel, which
amount purchased his -four for one
year. Thus from one third of an acre
and an onion bed he obtained his
breadstuffs and two or three hundred
pounds Of pork. The remainder of the
ground was appropriated to all kinds of
for both Summer and Win
ter use. He also had a flower garden,
raspberries, currants, gooseberries in
great abundance, and also few choice
apple, plum, pear, peach and ounce
trees. IN. e. Homestead.

steam yacht "Critic" for trip to the
Light House. Aside the yacht q yawl
boat was fastened for the purpose of
giving the party plenty of room. The
yacht Is an extra large one and Is con.
structed In first class manner, with q
view Of making fast time. The owners
are experienced in this line and fully
cuderstau d how to manage the craft, so
that there on board had no fears for

In order that those who desired to trip

selves, The moon shone bright on the
water and the air was cool which made
the trip q pleasant one, Shortly before
midnight the ladies prepared feast |
for tn. party, consisting of cakes and |
ice cream, to which the party did am
pie justice. After supper several sets
were danced, everyone had swing and |
at 12.45 the party steamed away from

sleepy but well pleased with their trip.
Much credit Is due to those who man.

good fellow as is also the mem bers of
the family, who treated all the party
with the utmost kindness and the trip
was one long to be remembered.
