What is the matter with Mexico?
Manufacturing at all, My boy has
lived there for nearly two years and
says it is a good country and a pros
porous people, and improvements and
new industries continue to come and
English money continues to pour into
that country building railroads and
factories and buying coffee plantations
and silver mines. The American pop
ulation is increasing every day and
now a Chicago firm is building an
American hotel that is to cost half
million dollars. And yet Mexico has
a silver standard. Gold may he the
best standard for us when We get use
to it, but it is an awful ordeal we are
going through in getting broke in.

Two causes more than all others
combined are the sources of loss: Oh"
to get dry while tranSpHnting and the
other is failing to press the soil so that
they will come in close contact.
The one can be avoided by having a
shallow vessel into which 4 quantity
of rich, sandy loam can be put and
ency of cream. into this the plants
shoUld be put. stirring around care
fully so thatthe soil will adhere to the
roots
Have the ground prepared in a good
time. When it can be done it is al
ways best to transplant rs soon as pos
sibe after the ground is prepared
With all plants it will be best to set
the plants reasonably deep. generally
putting the plant up TO the first leaf at
least; see that the soil is pressed close
around the roots.
If the weather is warm and dry it is
nearly always best to water two or
three times after setting out, taking
care to thoroughly wet the soil, as
one good soaking of the soil about
the roots is worth Il half dozen sprink-
!ings. If care is taken to do the work
properly there will be very little loss;
properly there will be very little loss;

the 1st of July, old style, but is now
celebrated on the 18th Of July, new
style.
II an accurate calculation could be
made it would be found that 100 times
as many men had been wounded since
then in celebrating the anniversary Of
the fight as were hurt among those actu-
ally engaged in it. In this United

ancestors had not, any more interest in
the battle of the Boyne than a pig has in
