 ^T 3 Horticulture : Is mentioned, not for re- 

 ference, but most serious regret. No commu- 

 nications appear in our volumes on this sub- 

 ject. And yet the management of a Kitchen 

 Garden, as it is called, is of the first impor- 

 tance to every farmer ; and is most lamenta- 

 bly neglected. Few of our farmers sufficient- 

 ly attend to their gardens ; and too many ne- 

 glect them entirely. If more vegetable food, 

 and less flesh, were consumed on our farms, 

 the more health and comfort would be the re- 

 sults. Nor would economy, in our domestic 

 affairs, be found the smallest consideration.
