The Use of Water in Planting.-The
great requisite to success in transplantine
is to bring the soil in eonjunctian with ali
the roots and root-fibres, and to secure q
firm setting to the plant. In nearly every
case this can best be secured by the use Of
water in planting. After an opening has
been made to receive the roots, and the
plant or tree is in position, let earth be
freely scattered over the roots until these
are hid. Then tura water into the hole
until it is nearly full. While this is soak.
ing away. shake the plant slightly for 9
few times. to cause the particles of eartf
to settle against the roots. More eartt
should also be filled in before the water
is all absorbed. The last earth returned
to the hole should not have water applied
to it. This may be slightly firmed with
the feet to advantage.

PLEA.
A Revengeful Woman.

Not long ago a butcher in this city sold a
woman a piece of meat, which, when taken
home, was found to be bad. 1t was re-
turned, but the butcher refused to take it
back, replace it with another piece or re-
fund the money. The woman ''nursed her
wrath" as Burns says, ''to keep it warm"
and she planned to get even. One Satur-
day night when the butcher and his assist
ant were busily serving a number of Gus
toners, the irate female walked into the
shop, and throwing a dead cat on the meat
block, exclaimed: ''Tlat makes ten, l will
get the other two by Tomorrow" None of
the customers in the shop at the time took
bologna, nor did they ask for "a nice piece
of rabbit. "--kingstOn Freeman.
