The Squash and Its Culture.

The squash is not the popular vegetable
that the tomato, potato and beans are;
but it is very generally grown in our gar
dens. 1t is a vegetable not to be despised,
however, for when prepared properly it
makes a dish that is not out of place on
any table.
There are a half hundred named sorts
of squashes, but in garden culture for
summer use it is necessary to name only
one sort, and that is the yellow Crook
Neck" This variety is surpassed by no
other, but a great many still adhere to the
EARLY Bush or Patty Pan" This is
a very good variety, but the Crookneck is
little better.
These summer, or hIsh, kinds can be
planted any time froa~ March to August.
but the insects are usually very destruct-
i've to the late pantjpEs, and in some sec
tons it is labor tkroSn away to plant
squashes after Ia 1Et of May. There

Winter squashG Nsich are like pump
kins in their habits, are grown almost ex-
clusvely for winter use. Many years ago
the Cashaw, which may be regarded as
a winter squash, was very generally pant
ed in the south, but we rarely see it now
adays.
Summer squashes are only fit to be used
when young-before the rind has been
hardened, and unless gathered promptly
soon becomes worthless, except to make
seed. They mature very quickly. Planted
late in March or early in April, the young
squashes will be ready for use in May.
Where the land is rich and the seeds
drilled along in the row, allowing finally
plant to stand every twelve inches in the
row, a row fifty feet long will supply
enough squashes for some weeks for a
good sized family On rich soil we have
oftentimes allowed the vines to stand,
even thicker than twelve inches. The
rows should be four or four and a half
feet apart The hill plan is the plan most
generally observed by growers hills made
AKA feet and or 10 seeds planted in each
hill.
Squash plants are easily fired by having
too much coarse unfermented manure,
all such manure and turn it over often
enough to get rid of the rankness before
applying it in the drill
Unfermented manure had better be ap-
piled broadcast, and early enough to al
low of it becoming thoroughly fermented
before the plant roots come in contact
with it. For poor soil a good fertilizer is
mixture of bone dust, with rotted ashes
and little nitrate of soda. If there is
any fertility at all in the soil good cult
walton alone ought to make a fair crop
of squashes.

that municipal authorities have no

In several cases courts have held certain
contracts for water or light void for the
reason that they granted exclusive frau

THE TAMMANY TICKET.

A Dispatch from New York says
of the Tammany ticket nominated
last week
"Robert A. Van Wyck, the can
didate for Mayor, was born in this
city 40 years ago, and his family
has been here for some two cen
turtles. lie was graduated from the
New York Law School in 1872,
joined Tammany, left it to go into
the County Democracy, then went
back to The old organization. He
was elected to a justiceship in the
City Court in 1889. Now he is
presiding Justice of the City Court.
The Justice is q member of the
Holland Society and of many other
social clubs. He is unmarried.
"Bird S. Coler, of Brooklyn, a
banker, was unanimously nemina-
ted for Comptroller, and Colonel
Jacob Q. RUPERT, Jr., of New
York, was chosen for President Of
the Council in the same manner.
Justice Van Wyck not only voted
for Bryan last year, but worked
for the success Of the ticket. Mr..
Coler was one of the very few Wall
street bankers who voted for Bryan.
He supported the silver cause on
the principle of loyalty to party.
Colonel Rupert has always done
as Tammany has done"
