a profit of 2,500 dollars a year from
three acres of land. All the place is covered with
bushes and saplings with a few large trees
Gauze bags envelop the bushes, and some
of the clumps of trees are surrounded with
wire netting, and the owner sells upwards
of 30,000 preserved insects a year at prices
varying from a few cents to fifty dollars

Forethought

Not much planting to be done, only
the succession of lettuce beets beans and corn.
Set out late cabbage and celery; plant
cucumbers for pickles July 10th; continue hoe
-ing. The drier the weather, the more need
to lighten up the soil. Give egg-plants
and melons a last spraying with arse-
-nate of lead. Work strawberry and aspar
agus beds; about the 16th of this month
make a large last planting of corn,
both early and late varieties. In flower
garden, hoe and weed by hand, train
vines pinch off the ends of Chrysanthe
mums to induce stocky growth. Sow
seeds of perennials, pinks, canterbury bells,
phlox and numerous other varieties.
