a farmer in Paxton, Worcester Co..
Mass, who settled upon an abandoned
farm about two years ago, is reported
to have raised on eight acres this year
$500 bushels Of potatoes, $4,000 Gu
cumbers-the latter from a single acre
500 barrels Of cabbages, 700 bushels
of tomatoes, $50 barrels of carrots. coo
bushels of parsnips, 100 bushels of
turnips. 400 bushels of beets and hoo
heads of caulitlower, besides squashes
and some other truck ad libitum, and
all the vegetables used by the family.

products were marketed at a profit,
