The Rest Land for Squashes.

Most all of our land in this state will
produce big crops of squashes. 1t has
often occurred to us that, considering
the value of this product for feeding
stock, that more attention is not given
by the farmers to the cultivation of
different varieties of the squash family.
A cotemporary, in speaking of this
product, says:
The best land for squashes is fresh
ly turned sod well manured; the mar
row squash will bear good crop on
land that is dry and sandy, provided
it is well manured; but the hard she'll
ed squashes, such as Hubbard and the
Marblehead, do better upon rather
strong land. Squashes do well upon
drained meadow also, but in moist
seasons such squashes do not keep so
well as those grown upon drier land.
Most gardeners who live near large
market and manure well, grow the
squash as late crop after an early
crop of green peas, spring beans, cab
bage, spinach, lettuce orr dandelions.
The squash being of tropical nature,
there is nothing gained by early plant
ing, and the crop is less subject to at
tacks from insects of all kinds when
planted rather late.

composed of mem bers of the legislative
body. The members would feel called
upon to vindicate their own wisdom
by altering or rejecting proposed for
them, and the chances are that real
y wise measure would fare worse than
it would if offered by a single repre-
sentative on his individual responsibili-
ty. In fact, if the Commission should
devise any particularly good thing, its
recommendation would probably lessen
the chance of that good thing getting
done.
The railroad problem is settling it
self good deal faster than any Con-
gress could settle it. Ten years ago
there was not even single fanatic
who contemplated as possible the rate
for transportation which the railroads
have of their own sweet will maintain
ed for half a year. If the practical re-
suit is bankruptcy for any company,
that event will educate more people
than any number of elaborate reports.
Or, if the result is that the roads
have all survived, that experience will
educate both people and managers, so
that rates which were once common
will become forever impossible. Or,
again, if it appears that railroads have
escaped bankruptcy only by taxing
local traffic unreasOnably to support
through traffic, it will instantly become
a practical question for the business
men of every State whether they wish
to surrender the through traffic or tC
see it preserved at such cost. AS
matters stand, stockholders, bond
holders, shippers and consumers are al
getting educated by the same events
and very rapidly. 1t may be doubted
whether any Commission could possi
bly disseminate as much information
in as short a time, and in a form tC
stick in the mind as long. Men re
member lessons that they pay fol
roundly.
The best OF it is that the railroaC
managers are getting educated. The1

they cannot afford to make transporta
ton so profitable that new roads by tn
score will start up to divide the busi
ness. They have learned that unlim
tied dilution of stock has its disadvan
tages. They have learned that publ
distrust of the good faith aud wisdom
of railway management is particular
ly expensive inconvenient crop to Gu
tivate. They have learned that me
nopoly is in greater danger just in pre-
portion as it becomes more powerfr
and profitable. These are wholesom
lessons. We doubt whether any Con

The TOttering Empress Eugene.
Buffalo Courier.

To-day saw that former beauty, the
former Empress of France, entering
her temporary London residence. The
tall, erect and stately figure is bent and
dropping; the queenly air is akin to
that of the mendicant; the fair locks,
in their luxuriant wealth of tresses are
white as the driven snow, and thin and
scanty in their appearance; the large,
expressive and animated eyes, half
violet and half blue in recurrent tints,
are gray, watery and leaden-looking;
the oval face is wrinkled and worn by
cruel care, and the blush of beauty is
supplanted by sepulcharal whiteness.
1t has been my lot to see other queens
in exile, other magnates dethroned,
but no one so strongly arouses sympa-
thetic sorrow as does this widowed,
childless, parentless, isolated ex-em-
press. But one consoling comfort is
hers. 1t is in feeding the hungry, cloth
ing the naked and comforting the
afflicted. Where the poor wear not
their wants on their sleeves, there you
will find the prematurely aged and tot
tering lady, rescuing a social wreck
and holding out hopeful beacon.

THERE Is one big item in the bill of
expense of the joint committee of SEN
ators and Representatives in Congress
who accompanied the Garfield funeral
train from Washington to Cleveland
that is simply scandalous, namely, over

that at least some of the members of
that committee were in ignorance of
