Prospectus of the Wyandot Pioneer.

In view of the rapidly improving condition Of
the county of Wyandot and town of Upper
Sandusky, and for other reasons not neces-
sary to be mentioned, 1 have purchased new
press, type and other printing material for the
enlargement of the PIONEER. 1t is my intention
to attempt to get up as large and neat paper
as any one printed in any of the adjoining coun-
ties; and in so doing shall have to look to the
citizens of the county for the support necessary
for it's continuance. The liberality of the peo-
pie will, therefore determine the success and pub
Iication of the paper, and it will be expected
that each man interested in the future growth
and prosperity of Wyandot county will freely
lend his aid in securing subscribers.
The PIONEER, in politics, will be Democratic
and at the same time, claim nothing for itself
that will not be extended to others. While the
editor has his PECULIAR NOTIONS of political and
other matters, he believes that other men have
alike privileges to their opinions. Although /
may publish a political paper, it must and will
be free from ALL FACTIONS, and controlled alone
by the editor. When say this, it is not my In
tention to say that the advice of friends will not
be received, for SHALL at all times be pleased to
counsel with my friends upon all matters per-
tanning to the best interests of our county and the
publication of the paper. If however, might
differ with others in opinion, that difference can
alone be changed by full conviction of my
error.
The FARMER shall not be neglected, as good
~ portion of the Pioneer will be devoted to his
A of ~; loc y; ;pIl
consented to aid me in this department of the
paper, and with his aid, hope to be able to rem
der the country subscribers, good service.
The mechanic and laborer will always find
the columns of this paper open for the defence
of their rights and the advancement of their
prosperity. In fact all classes will find our pa
per ready to vlndicate every thing calculated to
promote the greatest good to the greatest num-
Der.
With this exposition Of what the Pioneer will
be, I ask every gentleman, who can, to come up
and subscribe, and get as many more as ne can
to do likewise. The prosperity of every town
and country depends more or less upon the pa
per Of the county; and that the paper may be
what it ought to be, let it have good living
support.
JoB OFr1cE.-The selection of job type in the
Pioneer Office being large, job work of every de-
scription will be neatly and expeditiously execu-
ted, at low prices.
The following rules and charges will in every
particular be strictly observed, and it would
therefore be we'll for subscribers to observe these
rules: +

Melons, Squashes and CucumberS.
The American Agriculturist gives the fol
lowing as mode to avoid the destruction
of these vines by bugs. 1t says, as the
cost Of seed is trfing. we have for the
past few years always succeeded in get
ting good vines by the following process
Instead of planting a few seeds in hills al
the distance they would ultimately be re-
quired to grow, we have put in large
quantity over the whole ground; so that
atfirst we had hundred plants where
only one was needed. Sometimes we
have had plant come up ON every two
inches over the whole bed.
AS fast as the expanding leaves of the
vines interfere with eace other we cut of
the weaker ones with pair of shears, SO
as not to disturb the roots of those re-
naming. The "bugs" have always ma,
terially assisted in the thinning process
but we have never failed to find twice or
thrice the needed number of plants en-
tirely untoched. When beyond the reach
of danger from insects, all the weaker
plants are removed; and solitary vine
left here and there has been enough to
cover the ground. T.E
The same ground will yield much bet
ter. by having the vines at equal distances
from each other, than if two or three are
left together in the same hill, since the
roots have more room to grow, and they
find a greater amount of nourishment
when thus isolated. The fruit will also
be more solid and of better quality.
q 1t should also be remembered that air
and light are essential to the growth and
maturity of the fruit; and it is better to
occasionally cut out thrifty plant, than
that the ground be too densely covered.
Just vines enough to thinly cover the
ground, will produce better than double
this number.
