| Show 6 the ithe market where is it what is it A gardener has contributed his views as fol lows iowa on the market question which though in few words we doubt not will not only meet the conc concurrence urence of all of our farmers and gardeners gardener but receive a welcome response from all other citizens particularly hose those who do not raise their own vegetables beef pork etc of which class the tho number in this city is not a few nor do we imagine that there will be any dis sention fention from the opinion here expressed on the part of I 1 those persona persons who tho thol not professional garden era have every season larger or smaller quantities quantifies of wholesome a aud and id seasonable vegetables to dispose of over and above what they require for home use and which with the facilities of a market might be rendered alike available to the producer and consumer a luxury to the one and a pecuniary advantage to the other As these inquiries have been bean made through the newa N ew 2 it seems not improper for any one to give their opinion on the subject therefore the I 1 an sw r that a market is a place of sale for the products of an agricultural district where vegetables fruits meats etc kire are collected coll coil eced to seh sen where the habitants inhabitants of a city can find such daily supplies as may be needed to furni h their tables without being oli olo obliged liged to go to a distance to obtain them hence it is thai that markets are always to be found in large citi cleis cities s for the benefit of the com community olt y at idree whatever is there brought to be it sold bold d by the gardener and producer is or should be fresh and of or the first quality now for the want of r P macket a quantity of vec vegetables tables are produced that are of no tise use to the gardener and many who woud be clad glad to purchase go without because the gardens are so far from the center of business for conveniently pur purchasing purchase chasi ilg tig in small quantities like most other people I 1 am naturally rally raily a little seif selfish ih I 1 therefore the refoe hope ere long to see a market in this city and for what reason 11 because cause it will add to mv interest and at the ame same t time add no little to that of the public every article of the garden could then be made more generally subservient to the tire comfort of the whole community mul mui lity our correspondent corres p ondene has presented the he essential part of the argument in clear concise terms he has told us what a market is for and some of the mutual benefits arising but has us no idea of what kind of a structure is most approved for markets in large american and european cities we take it for that our citizens generally have some notion of what a market should be some per hap may have seen a market building at some previous period of their lives but have now no distinct recollection of it others possessing 11 more retentive ive lve memories 1 may be capable of describing the market in their several native towns but to arrive at the b st plan we must ascertain the proportions divisions and general arrangement of some of the best markets in the world it may he be thought that these notions are somewhat extravagant which is quite correct when lowing all things as they hey now exist but we are looking ahead when according to the ratio of past increase our city will number its Us aundrel hun drel drei thousand inhabitants till then we should be content with a more common and less costly style of market and other public building bit bat we want to keep ourselves posted in all the latest and most useful improvements of the age for this cause we solicit the desired information that a market would greatly add to the order of the city and to the convenience of its inhabitants an we think no ona ons will for a moment question it would concentrate he the vending of fruits vegetables etc thus at once facilitating the buying and the selling and securing greater uniformity and fairness of prices it would effectually obviate the disagreeable and wearisome task of perambulating through the city to find a few vegetables which to those unacquainted in the tb 0 city is peculiarly objectionable while it cannot but be aversive to the feelings of the citizens themselves it would also as urged by our correspondent afford an opportunity for the file profit abia abla disposal of many palatable vegetables in their season which would otherwise become useless and thus prove to some extent disastrous to the interests of the cultivator we throw out these hints for what they are worth there are grounds owned by the city affording a most eligible site for a market whether they may be devoted to that object we know enow not they they are at the disposal of the city authorities whether those grounds might at some future time be appropriated to a more use ful fui ul purpose we cannot say but in our opinion al at present for the benefit of farmers and gardeners for the convenience of the citizens and for the common good of 0 the city no project presents whereby a part of the unoccupied portion of the city hall lot can be more profitably occupied than with that thai might at least answer the purpose of a city market curing coring hay the following extracts from the tho published views of S W jewett esq of connecticut on the curing of hay should attract the he attention of farmers whose views if diff different ferent from these we should like to have in reply in our opinion lony loni there

one tenth to four fifths ot of the nutritive part of hay Is to lost by the maker la in the process of drying or what might be more properly called a process of distillation we have reason to believe that in vermont alone there Is lost during one season in this way more than five hundred thousand dollars worth of nutriment la in hay which it it bad been wisely retained might have nourished many hungry flocks and herds berds as nature designed it instead of being resolved again into its constituent elements and wafted wafred away by the winds when the haymaker hay bay maker Is desirous ol 01 stacking or mowing his hay a little underdone he may do so with impunity by adding layers of dry straw or old oid to absorb the gases which would pass off by overheating or in the field under the
