Is another column will be found
an ADVERTISEMENT of Land, for sale,
which shows tn some extent a new
departure. From the time when
persons first came :, this portion of
the State, the policy of each individ-
ual has heen tnget more lanl. When
planter had oni means to cultivate
five or six hundred acres OF land, he
was not satisfied unless he Owned
five or ten thousand acres, which
kept other purchasers at distance.
This policy has continued, and the
tillable land, Of the county, would
now be owned by dosepoi 30 men,
except that as the origina owners
died, their lands wee divided by
their heirs; and in other instances the
Sheriff has divided them with fore
closures. As il Is, the tracts owned
by individuals are entirely to large
for the welfare Of the community.
1t is safe to say tina. amy tract Of ~,
900 acres, owned and occupied by
one man, would be worth less than
pne half of the same track, if the 9th
eg half was owned and cultivated BY
two hundred men. II SO about any
particular tract, is it not necessarily
true about the entire countys
At present majority of our rcl-
lew citizens, voters and Lawmakers
would be called tramps in any other
portion Of tie civilized world, be-
canse they have no fixed home, no
certain location, but wander from
farm TO farm. doing days work here
and there; AT most spending year
~ any one place, for which they can
have no local attachment, and on
which the only improve,nen,(?) they
make is the burning all the surplus
fence rail II would be infinitely
better for the county il portions of
these great tracts should be divided
up aud sold, even at very low prices;
for every sale would render the re.
mining land more valuable, and
every ncy land owner would become
4 saqre responsible citizen.

day surprised by a summons to Jacks
bedside, and it came from Rachel her
self.
"Poor Jack seems out of his head, -
she said, land as you and he were such
good friends, 1 thought you wouldn't
mind helping is to watch with him
occasionally"
"Wouldn't mindl" Kate's heart was
throbbing to %suffocation as she stood
by the couch and looked down upon
the sleeping sufferer, with his poor,
bandaged arm and deeply flushed
cheeks. She had expected to find him
looking pale, but. thinking he had a
high fever, she stood watching him in
silent pity long after Rachel had plead
ed fatigue and left her alone with the
handsome patient.
Of course her womanly compassion
soon conquered her pride, and a few
pltying tears fell upon Jacks hot
cheeks as she smoothed his brow and
murmured some low, caressing words.
Then Jack suddenly opened his eyes
and caught the fond wisful look and the
sweet loving words after which there
was no earthly use in her trying longer
to conceal her feelings; and then, some
how, before her considerable rival again
entered the room, Kate found herself
actually engaged to Jack Brandon, and
learned at the same time that his sup
posed love for Rachel and his broken
arm was a shameful hoax, and that
Rachel and Laurie had both feen in
the plot.
Of course Kate threatened to break
the newly-formed engagement straight
way, but, having once conquered, Jack
was not afraid of that.

The Penn's Grove record., 1884-06-21
Mot YETI

Petite Cote the name given to the
strip of land between Sand wich and
Amherstburg, Detroit, extending seye-
raj miles along the river, is perhaps the
most extensive radish growing region
in Ontario. Thousands of dollars worth
of the vegetables are sold in Detroit
every year, and the yield is becoming
continually greater. The growers form
an exclusively French settlement, some
of them living on land inherited from
their ancestors during half a dozen
generations, or since the land was first
pre-empted by white men in the last
century. They are a very conservative
people, opposing modern innovation in
the way of improved methods for cult
waiting the soil. and live in pretty much
the same fashion as their f~orefathers.
They stick to their native language
with a jealous pertinacity. Many of
them well along in years, who were born
on the spot where they live, are unable
to speak or understand English. In
their schools French is the leading
branch of study. They are invariably
Woodworking and frugal, and a family
of eight is frequently sustained from
the product of a few acres.
The gardens lie on both sides of the
road running down the river from Sand
witch, and hardly any of them extend
back more than a mile from the waters
edge. The soil is a rich, sandy loan,
well adapted for garden purposes, and
is kept in the highest possible state of
cultivation. The plats average not
more than a few acres each. The
radishes are grown from seed raised on
the ground, and are planted as soon as
the frost is out of the soil. Hot beds
are almost unknown, and the few that
may be seen are used only for growing
the less hardy varieties of vegetables.
for radishes are not the only product Of
the gardens.
A person who has had business deal
ings with the gardeners for years past
says it is surprising what a profit is
made off a small strip of land that in
other localities, or in the hands of a
diff rent people, could not be made to
produce enough to sustain a eow. On
these cramped up plats, rarely contain
ing more than five acres, three-fourths
of the extent of which is planted with
radishes, as high as $500 worth of the
vegetables nave been sold from one
acre. The average profit is somewhat
less, but il is large enough to comfort
ably support the grower and his family
for the whole year.
