Squashes should be planted in a warm, light, rich soil, after the weather has become settled and warm, about the 

 middle of May or June. Plant in well-manured hills, in the same manner as Cucumbers and Melons — the bush 

 varieties 3 or 4 feet apart eacli way, and the running kinds from 6 to 8 feet. Eight to ten seeds should be sown in each 

 hill, thinning out, after they have attained their rough leaves, and danger from bugs is over, leaving three or four of 

 the strongest plants per hill.
