The Health Board of this city has authority to
see that all cars used for the transportation Of
passengers in Ncw-York arc provided with the
means Of securing good ventilation There,
fortunately, its authority ends. If it could COM
pei good ventilation as we'll as good ventiLstors,
the public would have reason to rejoice. At
tention is directed TO this matter by the fact
that the conductor of a strect-car a recent cold

of too little fresh air rather than too much.

A Strange Freak.
Logan Republican, Jan. &c.


On the line Of the Central Branch, be-
tween Kirwin and Beloit, the writer wit
messed a strange sight last Sunday. The
snow which fell there the first of the
week, being very damp. and accompanied
by high wind, was rolled up into innu-
merable snow balls. AS far as could be
seen on either side of the track, the prai-
RE was thickly dotted with these balls
of snow, varying in size from eight to
twenty inches in diameter, giving it the
appearance of a vast playground, where
merry children had been sporting with
the first snow of the season. It was a
sight we never before saw or heard of,
and shows that the storm east of us was
much more severe than here.

Logan hepuDllcan, Jan. 70.
The people of Wa-Keeney are wide
awake on the railroad question. A letter
received at this Office from leading bust
ness man of that place states that they
have held large and enthusiastic meet
ing and appointed committee to visit
Topeka and confer with NJ. A. Lowe and
other officials of the Rock Island and Sc
cure, if possible, a branch of that road
from Phillipsburg to the southwest.
They ask the other towns along the pro-
posed line to appoint committees to meet
with theirs in Topeka, and show the
Rock Island folks that we are in earnest.
Logan cannot afford to miss this oppor-
tunity. Let us act at once.

dropping him postal card containing an
inouiry. He is in favor of returning the
present incumbent. and If it were neces-
gary, would take off his coat and do his
utmost to secure that end. Because he

THURSDAY EVENING SESSION.

THURSDAY EVENING SESSION.
The chair called the house to order
promptly at o'clock P. M.
Prof. Kellerman responded to the SUBJ
ject of Practical Hygiene.
Mr.. E. w. Brown, of Topeka, was next
called to give his views on Gardening.
He claims that nothing is 80 fine as fresh
vegetables, and says only the kitchen
garden can afford them. Mr.. Brown was
asked to give his views on cabbage. He
says the seeds for early cabbage should
be sown now. The soil should be placed
in fine condition. Compost can be used
to advantage. Mr.. Brown wishes to give
point on raising squashes. His success
comes from two things: AS soon as the
vines come up, he throws dirt up against
them; and if eggs are found on the leaves,
he turns them up to the sun, which de-
stroys them. The secret of his success is
in keeping off the bugs while the plants
are small. He thinks celery is not sue
cess in this country. Mr.. Brown has two
methods of fighting the striped bugs on
cucumber vines: one with his thumb and
finger, the other with a bellows and
poison. As to tomatoes, nothing can be
done to keep them from rotting, except
to keep up the vines. Where person
has only few vines, he recommends
driving stake in each hill, and trailing
the vines. For radishes, the ground must
be in fine condition. The seeds should
be sown now. Frost will not hurt them.
Mr.. Brown prefers Northern-grown seeds,
but his best results have come from his
own saving of seeds from the first crop
that ripens.
Major Pilkenton opened the ball on
fruit-tree planting. Trees should be
planted with the roots nicely placed in
the natural order. Straighten out the
roots with the hand, and fill in with fine
soil. He set out an orchard in 1872, and
it did not lose tree He thinks trees
can be grown ID this section of country If
good care is taken of them.
Prof. Walters, of the agricultural col
lege, gave his experience in tree planting,
stating that one-haf of the trees planted
are worthless. Many are dug in the fall
and destroyed by careless handling by
the nurserymen, who pack them careless
~ and ship in the same way; and when
the trees reach their destination they are |
dried out or dead. When trees, such as |
svergreens, are dug up, the roots should |

Governor Martin refused to take action
in the matter. The governor, in our
Judgment, made mistake in dismissing
the matter 80 lightly. 1t certainly is the
spirit of our constitution that every or
