Lifting Plants

Previous to frost is an annual source
OF anxiety to many amateurs. For
plants out of bloom, that have a great
many roots and naturally retain the soil,
no especial direction is needed; but for
geraniums and heliotropes, and other
plants in full bloom and bud, and whose
bloom it is desirable to retain, more than
ordinary care is necessary. The fora
departments of our county fairs are too
often museum of abortive efforts in
this direction. The conditions necessary
to success in moving growing plants are
the same as those needed in roofing
cuttings; namely, heat and moisture,
with a quiet, confined atmosphere.
Where plants are very bushy and
leafy, like rose and zonale geraniums,
all surplus growth that can possibly be
spared is removed with sharp knife,
reference being had to beauty of outline
and the saving Of flower buds. About
ten days before removal, the roots
around one half the plant are severed
with sharp spade. The distance from
the center depends upon the size of the
plant and the size Of pot in which it is
to be placed. If the plant is to be ex-
hiblted, the pot should be ofample size,
or larger than would be necessary for
wintering. Five days later the roots
should be severed on the other side.
This is to cause the putting out of new
feeding roots near the center of the

Fall-Planting Strawberries.

To the question: Whatare the wants
of the strawberry when planted in the
fall? M. Crawford, of Ohio, ans wers a
follows:
Now, what are the wants of the straw
berries when planted in the Fall? The
soil for the straw berry should be rich
and moist, but not wet. 1t matters not
whether it be sand, clay, or muck, SO
that it furnishes anchorage for the plant
and contains an abundance of the ele-
ments necessary to its growth. 1t
should be stirred to good depth. but
little or no poor subsoil should be
brought into the surface. 1t is we'll to
have it prepared some little time in
advance, SO that it may have time to
settle somewhat before the plants are
set. The surface should be rich. This
is especially important with Fall set
plants, as their roots have comparatively
little time to 60 far in search of food.
There is another advantage in en-
couraging surface roots; they are not
drawn out or broken by the expansion
of the water in the soil when it changes
to ice, but rise and fall with the ground
Roots that run deep are apt to be brok

worth more than two Of cotton where

government benches. The marquis of
Salisbury, as he entered, was received
with cheers In the course of his short ad-
dress, the marquis said it was not necessa-
ry for him to repeat the statement made by

that he might reasonably accept Office upon
the assurances given by Mr.. Gladstone.
Her majesty pointed to the serious
injury to the public service, if settlement
was any longer delayed or new complica-

with theunanimous consent Of his colleages
thought it his duty to assume Office, and he
hoped the next four or five weeks would
show thathe had adopted the proper course.
The marquis in concluding his address
made an appeal for the support Of all rea-
sonable measures. The marquis of Sails

said he felt sure all would agree
that timorous policy would be unwise, if
not fatal. He reckoned upon the support of

however, that the liberals ought to have
given more definite assurances.

Gratis were kept out. A quarter of a cen

been enforced with cruel proscrip-
tions. The democrats could r not

General Grant.

Mt. McGREGoR, June 25.-The day has
been spent by Gen. Grant practically out of
doors with his family, upon the piazza. He
today conversed much in writing. He
said that within two weeks he has increased
his food two eggs per day, with so per cent
more beef per diem. He is aware that his
weight is decreasing, and has on that ac-
count taken some interest in the plan to re-
new his strength. He has learned, and to-
day remarked the fact, that the cocoaine is
powerless to alfay the pains in the throat
until the sections of mucus shall first have
been washed away. AS to the immediate
cause Of discomfort, the patient last even
ing stated that his greatest difficulty at
present was with his breath. 1t is believed
that the general can scarcely breathe
through the nasal passages, owing to the
accumulation of mucous secretions in the
back Of the head. The general appreci-
ates the fact that he could not sleep without
the use of morphine, and knows to a nicely
the quantity that the doctor has given him
nightly. aa
