N GARDEN.

In transplanting as soon as the roots
are covered press the soil down upon
them.
Use well rotted manure for the grape
vine. Fresh manure produces too much
growthsef vine.
For spraying apple n other trees
affected with any of the insects which.
eat leaves or fruit a spraying pump is
necessary.
With Strawberries too much organic
matter in the soil produces excessive
foliage, with little fruit. A sandy or
loamy soil is best.
Judicious pruning will encourage the
growth OF fine, large fruit. Cutting
back slim wood at this season. before
the buds start, is a means of thinning
the next crop and so increasing the size
of the fruit.

case2 Or is there even a fairly plaus-
iblezreason why the general delivery
window should not be open at all

to whom it most assuredly belongs?
It seems that other towns, even as
populous and important as Mitchell,
manage in some way to meet the
just and legitimate requirements of
the public by keeping the general
delivery window of their postoffce
open at all seasonabIe hours. People
in town will look after their own
interests as may seem proper, but
under the presenL..Tegime OF the office
people residing ont of town justly
feel that it is plainly tinged with
under-inhumanity. We earnestly de-
sire u mail matter when called for,

why WI don't get it. Respectfully.

prizes it highly is because on the In
