Thinning Plants.


Among the numerous duties which
the gard iner is called upon to perform,
there are few more important than the
ludicious thinning of plants, yet impor-
tant as II is the work is often delayed OF
not half done; this is because, to many,
it is very disagreeable work to do.
When the plants are small, which is the
time TO thin, it seems like waste OF
land to leave the plants as far apart rs
they ought to be, so they are often left
to stand twice as thick as they ought to
be. The gardener makes an effort to
leave the largest and pull out the small.
est, but he no sooner gets plant oAt OF
the ground than it appears to him that
he has pulled up the largest and left the
smallest. thus keeping up a constant
irritation, which no doubt is increased
by the frequent sharp pains that shoot
down the spinal column to rem nd him
that the position he is obliged to assume
to do the work properly is not a natural
one.
These combinations of troubles which
never fail to put in an appearance, often
cause a postpOnement of the work be-
yond the proper time, if not entirely.
The man who will invent machine
that viii thin plants as fast, and as
well, as the seed-sOwer will sow the
seed, will be worthy to have his name
enrolled among those who are consid,
cred the worlds benefactors. But a
present we must bend our back to til.
work and dare to do our duty, by thin.
ming plants to a proper distance; theirs
IS rarely ever anything gained by leav
ing plants thick.
Among the difficult plants to bi
thinned may be named the beet. Th,
seeds of this plant are so constructed
that there is often two or three plant.
that come from what appears to be only
one seed. These plants come up sc
near each other that the leaves inter.
Irvine, thus making it difficult tO remove
one without removing them all; but un
less they are thinned to one plant in
place, the crop will not be satisfactory
especially If they are early beets for the
table. Carrots are also somewhat diff
cult to thin, though if taken whensmal
are not as bad as beets Onions Are moi
qnite as bad as many other plants, mol
is-it so important to have them thinned
if the land is very rich Squashes, GU
bumbsrs and melons need thinning
quite As much as any other plants, and
although it is but little labor to do il,
it requires more than an ordinary
AMOUNT of courage to do it properly
especially the squashes, which ought tt
be thinned to three in a hill. These who
have not already thinned> the plants il
the garden should Lose no time in doing
so.-MdssachaSettS -Pioughmdsl.

Transplanting Trees in Japan.

Before ransplanting trees, two pieces
of paper or cloth are tied to the
branches on the east and west, or north
and south sides of the tree, so that il
may be planted as it stood before in re-
latiOn to the sun. Particular care is
taken In removing the tree. Large
roots which extend so far into the ground
that it requires great deal of labor to
dig them out are cut off at certain
points, either by the saw or any other
cutting implements, fibrous roots being
carefully protected. The spot where
the tree Is to be planted is dug little
larger than the roots absolutely re- u;re.
If the tree is large, two or four strong
posts or stakes of convenient size and
length are set about it before digging,
and are connected by one or more hor-
izontal Stats. The stem of the tree is
wrapped in straw mating, and tied
firmly to the horizontal Stats. Where
two horizontal Stats are used they are
fixed to cross each other at the point
where the stem is tied. The tree is
thus in suspended condition, there
fore though we dig around the
roots quite deep, it may not only be
prevented from falling down, but its
iibrous roots, which would otherwise
be injured more or less by the heavy
pressure of the whole tree, can be saved
to large extent.
After having removed the tree to the
desired place, particular care is taken
in covering the roots well, and also in
watering, especially if the soil is rather
light. Press the dirt, which is thrown
into the hole n little at a time, firmly
around the roots, taking care at the
same time to set them in their natural
position as far as possible. On the
contrary, if we throw in dirt upon the
roots all at one time and carelessly, all
the roots, large and small. are crowded
together in one mass, many OF which
will be injured, even if the tree is not
killed. This is especially true of those
trees whose roots are rather stiff, as, for
instance, the Persimmon trees. After
the tree is planted it Is examined from
all sides to see that it has been planted
straight, and then it is tied to three
posts which are so set about it as to pro-
tect it from the wind. The tree is gen
orally planted not as deep as it stood in
the previous place, but earth is heaped
around it to some extent above the
level of the ground. it being believed
that by thus doing the roots may get
more warmth than they could other
wise.
February is generally co nsidered the
best time for transplanting trees in
Japan, though some hold the opinion
that November is better than any other
month for thas purpose. AS general
rule, however, it is believed that any
tree may be safely transplanted just at
the time when its leaf buds begin to
show little green color. Other things
being equal, never transplant tees be-
hind the proper season, though the
earlier planting may do no harm to the
plant. After planting make a sun
screen which should be taken away
rainy or cloudy days. At planting wa
tering is considered important. Spread
ing little wheat bran on the bottom of
the hole before planting the tree is said
to make it grow vigorously.-S. Arckd-
Dd, in N Z. Farmer.

A Young Lady as an Itinerant Jeweler.

"Have you any jewelry that you wish
mended, or clocks to repair or regu-
late?"
1t was young woman neatly dressed
who asked the question at the front
door of a house on Taylor street re-
Gently.
The mistress of the establishment re-
mcmbered that she had brooch with a
pin lacking and handed it over to the
itinerant jeweler to operate upon.
Her actions showed that she was an
adept at the business. In neat box,
about fifteen inches long and five high,
were ranged full kit OF jeweler stools,
including a spirit lamp and blow-pipe.
A new pin was speedily attached TO the
brooch and turned over to its owner.
Chow much is it?"
TWENTY-FIVE cents was the reply.
Having paid the amount the inquisi-
tive lady of the house asked the travel
inc jeweler whether she had much work
to do.
''Oh, plenty" she answered. ''In
some houses l am kept nearly a day
overhauling clocks and doing little odd
Jobs of mending. In some places l
have fixed as many as dozen clocks. -
''Do you have much regulating of
clocks to attend to?
..You would be surprised if 1 should
tell you how many people there are who
do not know how to make clock run
faster or slower. But there are very
many There are some people. too,
who have expensive clocks who do not
care to tamper with them, and in such
places 1 am always asked to look after
them"
How do you. manage to make re-
pairs where it is necessary to drill
holes?n
.'Oh, that is simple enough. 1 have
drills and a small lathe that can attach
to a sewing-machine, and there is
scarcely house now that does not pos
sess one of those useful articles. -
care there any other ladies engaged
in the work you are?''
Not in this city that / know of. But
expect that there will soon be plenty
of competition, as there are many young
girls learning the business at the East.
But we can all find plenty of work,
guess, as there is an awful amount OF
breakage in jewelry, and we can, il
worst comes to worst, always work fol-
less than men with big establishments
and high rents to pay. San francisco
Chronicle.
