Best Varieties OF Squashes.

The old Hubbard squash is tho stand
by with farmers and market gardeners.
Nine-tenths of the late fall and winter
squashes found in tho markets are Hub
bards, and, other than summer squashes,
there ore probably more Hubbards
planted than all other sorts combined
For the farmers garden, however, there
are other varieties that will give near
ly as good satisfaction and should be
tried in a small way, according to
American Agriculturist, which says:
The Boston Marrow is more prolific
and is an excellent autumn sort, but
will not keep we'll after Christmas. Es-
sox Hybrid is good sort and of fine
quality, but not of desirable shape for
market. The Deo Wing and FordhCok
are squashcs of recent introduction.
Faxon, another new squash, is too vari-
ablo in color to be acceptable to city
consumers, but is good garden sort.
Marblehead and Butman are somewhat
like the Hubbard in shape, but have
not become popular. although they arc
good varieties. The Turban, like the
Faxon, is liable to sport and produce
squashes Of different colors. For the
home gardener tho new White Summer
Crookneck is worthy Of a trial. 1t aver
ages little larger than the old Crook
neck, which it resembles in shape, but
its skin is of beautiful ivory white
color, and its quality is not excelled by
any other summer squash.

@ o. The end ladders can readily be
made after the rack is ready to fasten
together. I will say that ladders on my
rack are 8 feet high, and back ladder is
arranged with loose iron pin to boom
the load on at any desired height.
The holes OF D D inside wings are
made. for purpose Of hinging wings on
to main frame of rack and correspond
with holes in cross benches B B, where
half inch bolt inches in length
fastens them together and is itself held
in place with key through it. This
makes combination rack which by at
taching end gates and tight board floor
can be used to haul hogs, tile pump
kins, ETC., and by placing few boards
on side wings large load Of corn in
the ear can be hauled. AS I have al
ways hauled great deal Of feed each
winter, I detach the sides, place it on a
sled and make very good feed rack of
it, upon which to haul feed from the
field to the barn.
My rack is all made of red elm and
painted with two coats of oil and vene-
tian red, which makes quito a durable
paint for farm tools and better by add
ing few pounds Of white lead. A rack
of this kind will be found very Conven-

Landlord vs.. Tenant.

An interesting caso was tricd before
Sqti q Dean of Newark, one lay last week
9he Trustees Of Welsh Tract Baptist
Church brought action against Harry S.
Kendall, who had tonanted tho farm, but
had quit, for removal of quantity of
straw, otc.. so the amount of SEQ. Tho do
fendant acknowledged that ho had rc-
moved tho said stuff, but had n right to
do 40, and that ho died net owe tho trustees
anything.
1'he law ir rotation to such action says:
If any person shall carry from demsed
promises, OF the quantity of lvc acres or
mere any hay, (other than salt hay), straw
cornhusks or manure, without the consent
Of the owner Of tho pramiscs, hc shall
forfeit and pay to such owner double tho
valro of such hay, etc with costs"
The Squire considered that tho plea
that "unthrnshed grain was not straw or
that the removal OF unihreshed grain was
not violation of the law" to bc II moro
legal Action. The law had been passed to
prevent tho impoverlshmont OF tho land.
The decision was that tho defendant was
indebted 10 tho plaintiff for double the
amount Of stuff taken away, which was SO
and costs.
