Peter Henderson, in abiding to a
market gardener near Rochester who
obtains 5000 an acre from his fifteen
acre cabbage patch, says that New
York market-gardeners would by no
means be satisfied with so small an
amount on their high-priced land. He

hundred acres with Cantaloupe mel
ons, which are sold in New York at
prices which give him over S., 900 a

A solution of oxalic acid has been
used for removing ink stains from cot
ton, linen, or the fingers, but it is at
tended with the danger of injuring
textiles and8th skin. A much safer
and better treatment of ink or rust
stains consists in the application of
two parts ofypowdered cream of tartar

oxalic acid: Shake up the ingredients
