Most people have heard of tie hang.
ings gardens of Babylon, the modern
roof gardens and the gardens or float
ing islands in which vegetables used &c
be grown for the citizens of ancient
Mexico, but probably few have heard of
a garden on board a ship, with farm
yard attachment. The splendid ship
Mowhan, now in port, and the largest
vessel which has ever been here, had
such an arrangement on board during
her trip to Oregon On leaving Belfast
for Portland she took on board as bal
last 1000 tons of Irish soil, which, when
leveled off, made quite a stretch OF
ground, and as the soil of Ireland is
proverbially fertile the ships company
proceeded to put it to good use by plan =
ing a stock of garden truck in it-cab-
bages, leeks, turnips, radishes, lettuce,
peas, beans, etc. The seeds came up all
right and the plants flourished finely,
and when the ship was in the tropics,
grew with great rapidity. As they
progressed towerd the Horn and the
weather grew colder things came to
perfection rapidly. The crew and
ships apprentices amused themselves
by wedding and cultivating the plants
and the captain and officers took
regular walks in the garden daily and
all had green vegetables to their hearts
content.
AS they came around the Horn the
garden was replanted and by the time
they reached the equator rything
was abloom and all hands Toasted on
fresh vegetables daily. The only draw

which grew so rapidly that they could
hardly be kept down, and the drove Of
pigs, which were kept in the farmyard
attachment, and which on several oc-
casions, when the ship was bucking into
a Worcester and rolling heavily, broke
out of the bounds and made serious
inroads on the garden. 1t is a serious
matter to call all hands on board ship,
and is only done in emergencies, but
when the pigs got into the garden there
was more pounding on forecastle scut-
ties and handspikes and blowing of
boatswain's whistles than if the ship
had been laid aback by typhoon or all
the masts had been carried away, and
every sleeper was aroused to help get
the pigs out of the garden.
The last pig was killed and served up
with green vegetables just before the
Mowhan entered the Columbia. On the
arrival of the Mowhan here the Irish
soil was discharged on the elevator
company's dock and piled up neatly, so
that any exiled patriot who desired "a
bit of the Gould sod" can be accommo-
dated. The pile will doubtless be COW
cred with shamrocks in the spring and
will furnish boutonnieres for whole

less many a sack of it will be carried of
