The Squash as a Late Crop.
IS. r. Rnl,etin.I

<. F. Bul etin.
 One of the most prolific and F; ofitable crops that can be raised i lhc squash. A good yield will we from l5 to 25 tons to the acre, md the seed may be planted from the 18th to the last of June. In deed, on deep loamy soils planting after the middle of June is better than before. If planted earlier, the blooming is likely to take place dur ing the hot spell in August, and the bloom is then quite likely to blast and produce no setting of fruit. The late planting blooms after the hottest weather is over and then the sets of fruit are abundant, and there is plenty of time for the fruit to ri- pen before frost appears. We have seen the best of crops of squash gown on the same land af;er a croI of early potatoes had been harvested Squash are excellent food for dairy cows, making d good flow of rich highly colored milk and makes the best of butter. Fed in connection with alfalfl hay during the winter, a dairy of fresh COWS will make about as much butter as in the spring with the best of grass. Squash are also excellent feed for hogs during the winter season, keeping them i'll good order and in the best of health much better tha4 dry barley. Those who have stock will do well to plant squash.

The dog story which has been re- ceived by cable from Berlin, brings to mind one of Bismarck's college pranks. lie has always been fond of dogs. When he was a student and a country squire. he never went out for a walk unless accompanied by a couple of hounds at his heels. At Gottingen, where he led wild, reckless life, he was summoned be- fore the Dean for entertaining some boisterous friends with whom he travelled into the Hartz. He ap- peared with a large bloodhound at his side. The interview was a short one and they retired to their quarters. The Chancellor's favor- ite dog was Sultan" a Danish mastiff. who was always with him when he walked or rode at Varzin.

He beat him with bludgeon and broke his arm, poured kerosene over his clothes, and set fire. to 1t, shot him through the lungs and finally locked him up in room with a mad dog, and the agent deeply affected, whispered through the key hole that as soon as the dog got through with him, he'd let him have a copy of MOody's Anec- dotes" for sixty-fve cents, which was thirty per cent. off.

Since Edison invented tine tele- phone and phonograph he has more orders for new inventions than he can attend to. One party wants him to invent boneless shad; another asks him to turn his atten- ton to a gas-metre that won't al- ways lie in favor of the company !; a third desires that he will invent q purse winch will always contain a dollar or two and while he is about it, he might as well infuse some of his inventive genius into a flight of stairs that won't creak like all pos sessed when man sncaks into his house at night.

Yesterday afternoon says the Stockton Independent of Junc 2Sth, fire caught in a fine body of grain
 lying in the sink of Corral Hollow
 creek, three miles from Bantas, and
 before it could be checked 1000 acres of the finest wheat of that section were totally consumed. We could not learn the names of the parties who suffered this dis tressing loss, but understand that the fire caught from sparks from the stovepipes of Chinese cook house, There was a stiff wind
 blowing at the time, and but for the fortunate intervention of q field of green wheat, the fire might have destroyed the whole valley. About 300 of the farmers and cit izens of Bantas gathered at the fire and fought it vigorously with wet sacks. The wheat was expect ed to yield about 25 to 30 bushels per acre. There was no insurance on the grain although farmers on the west are insured largely this year. The grain was just ready to cut. The loss is estimated at $2O,OOO.
