tered a little time previously the plant
will fall out Of the pot at a slight shake.
But at times the roots adhere SO tightly
that slight tap Of the edge Of the pot
against the potting table will be re-
quired before the plant will fall.
Fig. 2 shows the next operation, with
a dracena in hand. Meehan, in his IL
lustrated monthly, explains that in our
American practice the empty pot would
be placed in an upright position, instead
Of on its side.
But to return to the potting process,
pointed stick is used to press apart the
mass Of roots, which have coiled in
wardly by the confinement heretofore.
The illustration represents round stick,
but in America flat one is preferred.
Fig. 8 shows the repotting process,
this time with Kentia palm. The earth
used to fill in the space between the
smaller ball and the larger pot is pre-
ferred to be as dry as possible. It is then
rammed in as tight as possible with q
fiat stick. This, by the way, says Nee
han, is why the fat is preferred to the
round stick, as previously noted, that
the same one will answer both opera

Elm Leaf Beetle.

The best remedy for the elm leaf bee-
tie is spraying the foliage with paris
green i'll water-a pound to 200 gallons
preferably at the time when the beetles
are Matching from the eggs in early
spring and commencing to feed. If the
tree is large, good force pump and
from 25 to so feet of rubber hose will
be needed, the hose to he carried by the
aid Of ladder into the tree, so that all
the foliage may be reached with the
spray. 1t is also important that when
the larvae descend the trunk of the tree
about the middle Of July for their trans
formation the pup@, which often are
found in large numbers on the hard
ground or pavement at the base, be de-
stroyed by sprinkling with hot water,
kerosene, strong soapsuds or tobacco
water.-Country Gentleman.

He has been in continuous business
here as a clothing dealer ever since
until he sold out his stock in June
and has always enjoyed prosperous
trade. He was always a liberal ad-
verLiser. He believed absolutely in
the power of printers ink to draw
trade and his success showed how
shrewd he was in that belief. AS a

interesting one. We have so many
makers of choice butter and cheese
Inat competition will be lively and
the exhibits will be gilt edge. John
MathiesOn is superintendent here and
the premiums are for home made dairy
and separator butter as we'll as for
the creamery product. There is also
good chance for our brag cheese
makers to compete.
The premium list this year shows
that especial prominence is given to
the educational exhibit. Graded and
rrual schools, as we'll as high schools,a are
included in the competition and it is
hoped that every school in the county
VIII make at least one exhibit.
We call especial attention to the
