ExPnusRrs IN PLANTING PorArors.-
1r. Elisha Beatty, who resides on Muscatine |
Island, informs us that during the past season he
planted potatoes ct various dates from the 25th Of
April to the I'd Of July, and they seemed to do bet
ssr up to the last planting He planted the follow
ing varieties, 10 in all: Blue Neshaunocks, Black
Nsshanuocks, Peach Blows. CALIFORNIA; Irish Caps
Tinkeyss, Long Reds, Baltimore Pinkeyes, London |
whites, and Round Blacks. He has presented to |
- half sbushsl Of Blue Neshannecks planted onthe
ID Of July They are Of ordinary size and about the
BEST ''praitiss" We ever ats Mr.. Beatty's expert
nsuts arc well worth remembering.
THs Posx TsADR-The Davenport Dss-
esrst sn1 Gssss talks thus lugubriously about the
prospect OF the pork trade at that place. It seems
70 fear that the dealers Of this city will be a. log
gish a they were last year. We don't doubt it.
eve have bssn informed that prominent pork

contracts with the farmers for their pork. Now we
do not exactly relish the idea of letting dealers from
ether cities take from rs the business which, if the
proper exertions were made, would otherwise fall |
70 ear lot If the pork Of this county goes to other
places, Il it not reasonable to suppose that large
amount OF the trade of our county will 90 there!
We hear Of two or three firms in this city who in
tend packing little pork this winter, but they will
not invest any great amount Of capital in the bust
ness. Our merchants can easily see the great i'm.
Dortancs Of having oil the pork of this county and
@ much ~ can be drawn from adjoining counties |
packed in this city If the farmers carry their pork

With Auscatine merchants; and there is more goods

ether time during the year."
WILL the RAILROAD COMPANY FExor ITS
fsAcK!- This il 4 question of earnest import to |
the citizens of Nuscatine county, There are about |
30 miles Of railroad in this county, and, We believe,
not ono mile Of it is fenced Our citizens have |
suffered heavy losses by the killing of stock, and in
many instances failed to obtain indemnity from the
Railroad Company. But this il not the strongest |
argument in favor Of law compelling railroad |
companies to fence their tracks Fearful accidents
70 human life have been occasioned By their |
neglect Of this simple duty. The follow.
ING from Wisconsin paper puts the matter in
it proper light, and We recommend it, suggestions
TO the favorable consideration Of our lawmakers:
Now. while the recent terrible disaster on the
1oftnweeeern Railroad is fresh in the public mind
snd the frightful picture Of the mangled and torn
victims - still fresh upon the memory, let US ask
~ kds!rood CompGns<s sver Be required to fence
tAssr tracks The running over Of cattle BY the
eerS u OF almost daily occurrence, and nine tenths
Of the accidents that occur are to be attributed to
this cause. No railroad should be allowed to run
sPassenger car one single mile until the track is
cattle guards.
n,ssssss;ne. states this morning that the train
whish<car out the company to Watertowu on
Tuesday to assist in taking care of the wounded,
San over COW going out, and killed horse on the
return trip. We trust the next Legislature will
take the matter into consideration and compel the
railroad companies to take this one step at least in
the right direction. -A;1socSkse Free Democrat
