watering Plant. I'm Summer.

Plants growing in theopen ground and fully ex-
posed to the sun are frequently ruined by the
very means taken to save-by watering in hot,
dry weather. Generally moisture soon eyapO-
rates, leaving the soil dry and hard-almost i'm
pervious to air as well to the dews. But this is
not the only nor the greatest evil which results
from the ordinary slight wsterings which plants
get. The temporary superficial moisture causes
the roots to seek the surface, where, in the in
tervals between the waterings, the heat and
drought destroy them, and the plants become
stannted or die outright. The remedy lies in a
more through irrigation and in a different mode
of applying the water. In the case of young and
large herbaceous plants, the best way is to care
fully scrape away the soil around them to the
depth of an inch or two, forming a shallow basin
into which sufficient water should be poured to
moisten well in the ground as deeply and as wide
ly as the roots extend. When the water has
soaked in, the dry earth should be returned,
which will prevent 9 speedy evaporation. Among
small plants, which cannot be treated in this
way, make holes with an iron rod or a sharpened
stake several inches in depth, and fill them with
water, which will thus reach the deepest roots

Out west these are "sure crop" when heat
and drought kill almost everything else. They
appear to be proof against all efforts to destroy
them, and neither Ere, poison nor the knife has
more than a temporary effect upon their vitality.
In one locality the plant has been moved before
seed time, plOwed early in the season, and raked
up by the roots then cut with the hoe at inter-
walls of five days during the months of June and
July, and finally cut again with the hoe and
broadax later in the season. In another locality
the thistles were dug up and burnt; in another
they were hacked of close to the ground and salt
strewn over the roots; in another they were satu-
rated with strong brine and sprinkled with aqua
fortis, and in another they were covered with re-
fuse lime from the gas works to the depth of
several inches. One bold farmer, whose wrath
against the weed must have been uncOmmonly
fierce, actually pulled them up by the roots, then
dug hole where the roots had been, and filled
it with benzine. Hethinks be killed the thistles
thus treated, but is not quite certain; nor is
there, we are panied to say, asingle well anthem
ticated eradication. Thistle commissioner
have been appointed, but it is easy to see from
their report that they fear and anticipate fine
showing of the sweet Canadian flower next sea
son, in spite of hoes, ploughs, broadaxes, salt,
aquafortis, lime and benzine. As final resort it
is recommended by a Chicago journal that a
pound of nitro-glycerine be placed under each
thistle and exploded by electricity.-EGsterR Pa

Hsw 90 Grow the ol~anacr.

The oleander is a very ornamental plant when
properly grown, but we seldom see fine speci-
mems There is scarcely of my readers who has
not seen dozen oftall straggy plants. propose to
give few directions how the fine plant may be
grown. Take healthy cutting, place it in
bottle of water and let it remain there till roots
appear; then pot it, shifting it into larger sized
pots as the roots require room. Do not try to
have itbranch until it blooms 1t will then have
a long straight stalk-a good fountain for the
plant you desiere. After blooming, three shoots
well start; allow these to grow, these are the
flower shoots. But after these have boOmed cut
back all the shoots to within four OF five inches
of the former branches. Do this each time the
plant blooms.
Two years ago we had plant given us which
was three years old and several feet high. In the
autumn my husband remorselessly cnt it down to
within FIVE inches of the first branching, but af-
ter starting the following spring it grew rapidly
The oleander has many good qualities. Ii will
bloom well for its owner all the summer, and
then after emitting down in the fall, may be put
in dry cellar for the winter, doing better du-
ring the following summer for its long rest.
While growing it requires an abundance of wa
ter. 1t would be good plan to allow it to stand
in pans constantly full of water till after bloom
ing, when the water should be gradually with
held till out in, and then it should be put in the
cellar and no more water given till the following
spring. 1t is well to pot the plant every three
years Dust before starting them in the spriug).
If you do not wish them in larger pots, pare the
ball of the roots with sharp knife on the sides
and bottom, re-pot in strong, rich loan, and set
in shaded place, and in few weeks the roots
will form anew.
