Shall We Try Market Gardening !

Every season furnishes its crop Of
unsuccessful merchants, or mechanics
who ask our agricultural editors if
markct.gardening does not pay large
profits, and if there is not n good
chance in this business for an indus
trious man to better his fortune.
Judged by the high prices the av.
erage citizen pays for his vegetables
in the large cities, it seems to him
there must be money in vegetables.
If he could remove to the country and
say within an hours ride, he could
attend to his city business without
loss of time, and hiring good garden
err, he could have cheaper vegetables,
and fruits, and add something TO his
income by sending the surplus to
market. Nothing looks more feas.
ible on paper; nothing is more de-
lusive in practice, Every business,
to be successful requires responsible
head, thoroughly acquainted with all
its details, aud giving it his personal
attention. There are many points in
market-gardeuing that can only be
learned by experience, and ifa stran-
ger undertakes it, he will pay dearly
for his education. Some three hundred
dollars to the acre are needed as cap
ital to carry on the business to advan-
tage, even when man is practically
acquainted with it, and knows where
to invest every dollar, The questions
to be solved are location in reference
to market; soil, what kind and how
much; what tools are wanted; what
seed to plant; what teams are needed
and what labor TO carry on the bust
ness successfully, and no waste. The
cultivation of a few square rods for a
family supply of small vegetables,
might prove profitable and healthy,
while market.gardening in the same
hands would prove disastrous. Mar
ket-gardening is remunerative bust
ness when n man understands it, but
it is far from being an easy road
TO wealth for those who have all the
details to learn. American Agricul-
turist for FEBRUARY.

Culture and the Eye.

London Globe.
And now a London oculist tells us
that culture diminishes the size ofthe
eve. Well, what if il doesg. Few
observing people viii be willing to
admit that the beauties of an eye dc.
pend greatly ON size. Some small
ewes have been known to do vast exc
cution in variety of ways, and every
one may see for himself that culture
gives to the eve a variety Of OK
pressions that The finest Of ox-eye
never attained Of itself. The fine I'M
varying, shining, animal eye counts
for little now, except among people
whose crude preferences put them
out Of court on other matters than
ewes, There is an education Of the
eve as there is Of the person or car
riage. and who has not felt the force
OF a well bred, well poised glance the
moment il Is levelled on him ! The
eve that knows what il is about is the
only eve that can give itself beauty
at will.

TRUCK FARMING.

Southern World tAuania)l
Public sentiment at the South, just
nj this time, seems TO be strongly in
favor ofwbat IL known as truck farm
Ing. which is, in fact. but Diversity
ing the products Of the field, orchard
and garden. Instead Of risking all
upon the price ofcotton and receiving
the revenue for the years labor at the
end Of the year, the tendency now il
to increase the articles produced and
80 pitch crops a. that revenue will be
received all along during the year.
Twelve or thirteen years ago an effort
was made in Georgia TO ship vege-
tables and fruits 20 New York. The
merchants Of Charleston and New
York sympathized with the movement
and encouraged il all they could.
The difficulties then in the way were ::
/. There were not enough engaged
in fruit culture and truck growing 70
justify the handling Of j. by railroads.
2. Railroad transportation was slow
and inadequate.
There were u few who believed
that, in the near future, the people
and the railroads would wake up
TO the importance Of truck farm
ing (among them, ID. Redmond, now
Of Florida, the lamcnted Charles
Wallace Howard, and the writer Of
this articlc,) but the movement had
to be abandoned then for the reasons
given.
In North Carolina, Virginia, aud
South Carolina, truck farming has
been carried on for years with graft
flying results. II is profitable in the
neighborhood Of Savannah and
Augusta. In the vicinity Of Augusta
such men Ms Robert Shaw and Mid.
dloton Seago have become historic
characters in connection with this
enterprise and success in truck farm.

South Georgia has walked up at
last to her destiny. She needs but
truck farming TO pour into her midst
the treasures OF the Fast and West,
and her citizens will have the proud
satisfaction Of knowing that they are
the architects Of their own fortune.

j. ID. Cunningham stated that he
cvaporated one year 5000 pounds of
fruit, which sold rapidly at eight
cents per pound If care is taken
in evaporating fruit, and of it after
ward, il will command twenty cents
per poand. The general opinion
was that it paid only to ship the early
and better grades of fruit, and to
evaproate the other grades. Mr.
W. w, Hurlbert, of the Southern ox-
press Company of Atlanta, says:
Shippers of melons, in some in
stances it is said, have realized $500
per car load. The average yield is

mated that Georgia will ship 5000

Biennial SessiOns-A Measure which
Should be Crushed.

There is no idea which more regularly re-
ours to the mind Of the ill-informed politician
than that OF restricting the power OF the
people over their own affairs. The Legis-
lature OF this State would seem to be affected
with this form OF deluson just ut present.
The proposition Is to abolish the present
system of assembling the Legislature every
year, and to substitute for it the plan Of
holding sessions only once In every two
years. In our Judgment 1t is an absurd and
foolish notion.
No doubt the people may now and then
elect a poor Legislature, and 1t may enact
bad laws; but the proper remedy for such q
misfortune can only be found at the ballot
boxes. and the more directly, promptly, and
eiIectually this remedy is applied the better.
We shall be no more likely to have wise and
perfect Legislatures under the biennial sys-
TEN than under the annual. But it Is ex-
ceedingly important that we should be able
to correct the errors OF bad Legislature
without any unnecessary delay.
Moreover, 1t Is desirable that the represen-
tatives Of the people should come together
to discuss the affairs Of tho commonwealth
at very short intervals Where such discus
sion constantly recurs, every form Of public
discomfort Is soon appeased. To stop such
frequent sessions OF tho Legislature is like
fastening the safety valve OF steam engine.
The Democratic party claims to be the
party OF popular rights, and 1t has q very
queer look to see an Assembly In which the
Democracy have majority OF the members,
adopting measure 80 anti Democratic and
30 opposed to popular self-government As
this measure OF biennial sessions.

In 1876 the Republicans stole tho Presi-
dency and made Fraudulent President, and
now they go out with SECoR robson at
their head. A fitting exit for such party.
Whether RoDEsoN will continue opera
tions on the paltry field offered by the town
of Camden, in New Jersey, cannot be told.
But the country has to be thankful that the
party of Robesonism no longer controls the
road that leads to the United States Treasury.

Forests and Floods.

We printed the other day letter addressed
to tho Hon. S. S. Cox. giving an account OF
the destruction OF fine river near Almeria,
in Spain, by the cutting away OF forests at
its head. This is but one OF many instances
in that country which illustrate tho folly Of
stripping the land OF woods. and teach les
son that Americans need to learn.
Madrid long suffered from the denudation
OF the high central table lands on which it is
situated. The river Manzanares, which runs
under the walls. became so shrunken In con-
sequence OF the removal OF trees that Span
ish poet likened it to DIVES IN hell begging
LAZARUS for drop Of water. The health Of
tho capital was seriously impaired by tho
want Of good water supply. Since the In
PRODUCTION OF water, Mt enormous expense,
from q source over forty miles distant, the
hcalthfulncss of Madrid has improved, parks
and plantations have sprung up, and manu-
factories have been started These benefits
the people might have had before, without
cost. had the forests been preserved The
river Guadalmcdina, at Malaga, is absolutely
dry for great part OF the year, owing to q
similar recklcssncss in removing the nat
ural reservoirs that once fed 1t. When
the spring rains come, they fill the river bod
with torrent that swiftly reaches the Med
terranean, and Is lost. The flood Of 1875 at
Seville, was due to tho destruction of wood
lands along the valley OF the famous Guadal-
quivir. The inundation that subsequently
overwhelmed Murcia came from the river

regulated by tho presence of timber. In
