Europe which has not a better system.
The immigrants who come to our shores
from abroad will be found to have a far-
better school training in what are de

to the customer. livery large town and
city is a gold mine for the market rar
dener who is "up betimes" and offen
his fresh, wholesome-looking goods jt
neat and tasteful packages. Untidr
packages repel the finest class of custos
ers, but good taste will inevitably attrw
them.
A good illustration of this is afforded
oy tne experience oi tue owner of a ten
acre tract of land at Andover. M
who found very naturally that general
farming did not pay on so small an area.
He therefore determined to adapt him
self to the situation by following i
higher method. He planted one-half ol
his little farm to a great variety of email
fruits, and devoted the remainder to the
growth ot vegetables. These he arrange)
so that for seven months he obtains crop!
which can be either disposed of at gtxxl
prices in the markets of Boston or the
nearer city of Lawrence, or put np in
various forms for sale to Boston ruetom
ers during the winter. In the lattercase
the fruits and vegetables are careful ,j
se'ected and as carefully preserved,
pickled or put up as nearly as possible
in a fresh state.
Last year, besides the fresh fruits and
vegetables sold, some 10,000 quart jui
of produce were disposed of in this aj.
Nearly all the work was done in the fam
ily, thus saving much expense, and the
income was about $3,500. Such a resu't
can be obtained, of course, only by huh
culture, which implies forethought, skill,
industry and good business capacity.
But it shows what can be done ou a
small tract wisely managed.
Value of Pumuklm.
A correspondent of the Country Got
llemen gives some figures to prove the
value of pumpkins as a food for stock,
lie tells o a friend who is a thorough
farmer and keeps a dairy. Last year the
September drouth found him with ten
fresh cows and a scarcity of pasiure. He
had a One crop oi well-ripened pump
kins, and for three months lie fed them
regularly, feeding most of them in the
barnyard. No attention was made to
taking out the seeds, but the raws ate
few ot them, as most of them fell out on
the ground and were eaten by three hop
kept in the yard. The hogs got their
share of the pumpkins, and when eating
them regularly would drink neither swill
nor water. When the pumpkins wen
gone it was necessary to feed seven pecks
of corn, ground cob and all, per cow.
He says:
" My friend estimates that his pump
kins saved 200 bushels of ears of corn,
or $02 worth. A few were fed beforethe
main crop was drawn, hut forty top-lwi
loads (the box holds fifty bushels of ap
ples) were put In one of the feed pass
ages of the barn basements and fed irom
there. This man's estimate makes them
worth about $1 50 per load a mnch
higher value than ia commonly awarded
to them.
" Tumpkins matured very finely thii
season, and were very ripe, thick snd
nutritious. My friend thinks, as I do,
that pumpkins do not injure the com
crop in which they grow. It is possible
that they take something from the soil
that would be used by the eucceedinj
wop, but this is difficult to determine,
and in the absence of definite knowledge
on this point it will be safe for dairymen
to grow pumpkins on the principle that
