EXPENSES. 127 



estimated at seventy-six dollars and thirty cents, 

 which, added to the above amount, makes the 

 entire expense of the season one thousand five 

 hundred and fifty-seven dollars and eighty-nine 

 cents, leaving four hundred and fifty-three dol- 

 lars and eighty cents as a margin of profit. 



In addition, there was a most abundant home 

 supply of all the good things of the garden 

 throughout the year, and in view of this I sum 

 up my profits for '71 at one thousand dollars.
