gardens make no Profit, but actually
suffer a loss, when ne crops are COM

and labor. but there is considerable
pleasure derived. the value of which
cannot be estimated. No matter how
small the plot owned or rented may
be the one who can beStow a portion

are some things grown in garden
that cannot easily be- procured in mar
ket, when the freshness and quality
are considered. No one can bug tOma-
toes in market equal to those taken
from the vines and placed on the table.
If plot is very fertile. and is no larger
than half an acre, the amount OF pro-
duce that can be grown thereon will

charge Of murder.
The Iowa Supreme court last week
rendered decision in case appealed
from the Howard county District
court which has more than local in
terest. The case was that of Colby VS.
Fitzgerald, in which an injunction
was issued by Judge Hobson against
the defendant for the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors. The defendant con-
ducts restaurant in Cresco and
sold what is termed "non tox," a bev-
erage wellknown in many towns of the
state. There was no evidence that
defendant sold intoxicating liquors,
but the plaintiff simply showed that
, defendant held government license
taken out at Dubuque for the sale Of
| liquors, and Judge Hobson held this
to be prima facie evidence that he
sold intoxicating liquor aud granted
an injunction. The Supreme court
has sustained the District court. E.
R. Acers of Decorah appeared for the
plaintiff and P. F. McHugh of Cresco
for the defendant.
