the fact that the gravel used has been

authorities agree that a successful
job cannot be made unless clean gravel
is used.-C. D. Lyon.

Necessity Of Water.

Both plants and animals need water
to supply the large amount of water
necessary to be kept always in their
tissues. but the plant needs 1T for an
other reason than the animal. Plants
cannot absorb food except in liquid
condition, and in this way great sur
plus of water is taken in by the plant
over what 1t retains in its tissues.
This surplus is eyaporated through
pores in the leaves and is what the
botanist calls Transportation. In view
OF this preeminent need of water in
our farming operations the question of
the conservation of what water we do
receive, either in the form of rain and
snow or in the streams, becomes OF
first Importance. Well directed cul
ture conserves moisture and consti
tntes one of the chief differences be
tween profitable and improbable
farming.

USE CARE IN TRANSATLANTIC
Attention and Careful Nursing Re
quired to Compensate for the
Shock In Moving.

Moving plants from one locality TO
another is more or less of violent op-
Grafton. BY the process the plant is
deprived of quite number of its feed
ing roots and for time is cut OF from
it's water supply; consequently it is
necessary to exercise considerable
care with the plant until 1t again be-
comes established in the soil. To help
insure this an abundant supply OIL
moisture in the soil at all times is es-
sential to keep the plant from whiting
and incite it to take hold OF the SOIL
quickly. In sections where irrigation
is practiced the transplanted plants
should be irrigated Immediately after
setting, and frequently afterward until
danger of their dying out is passed.
This can be told by the plants freshen-
ing up and starting new leaves. 1t Is
also very essential in setting the
plants out to firm the soil well around
the roots. This is very important and
should not be neglected Many plants
have failed on account of not doing
this. Proper firming of the soil helps
to exclude air from the roots and
prevents the plants from drying up.
In sections where irrigation is not
! practiced plants are preferably trans
| planted during rainy spell. II this
cannot be taken advantage of 1t will
be necessary to water the plants by
hand until they are established. When
| doing this do it thoroughly; a little
water is sometimes nearly as bad as
/ none
In moving the young plants from
the seed bed to the field and until set
out they should be protected from the
rays of the sun to prevent whiting
This protection can be given by wrap
ping the roots up in wet sack or car
rying to the field in bucket or tut
with a little water in the bottom K
keep the roots moist. When digging
the plants out of the seed bed use
shovel or spade and avoid breaking OF
as many roots as possible 1t is alst
better to wet the bed first. Ii thu
plants are very tall 1t will be well t
cut off a part of the top. The opera
ton will not hurt the plant and help
to keep it from whiting, as 1t pre-
vents excessive evaporation of moist
ure from the plant through the leaves
Before transplanting the soil shout

GARDENING MADE INTERESTING.

If the beans you are watching hap

the way they climb their pole and then
watch the other vines and note the
difference in the way they twine-

others in the opposite direction.
All vines have a wonderful fascina-
ton when one begins to study their
habits for their ways of working seem
as intelligent and their movements as
voluntary as those of person-bnt

things.
