Where is the use, Jim, of our working and working to raise so many vegetables? we never can use them all. MOther said last year there was no necessity for raising more than we could eat, and now this potato patch is larger than ever.' And as he said this, the little speaker threw himself upon the soft ground, struck his hoe into the soil, and looked up at his brother to see how he would take it.
