cussion of the time and method for
pruning will be taken up.
As to TranspIanting.
The writer observed a little trick
in transplanting that has been used
for number of years by one OF the
most successful Minneapolis market
gardeners. Instead of pulling the
plant which is to be transplanted,
he lifts it out of the soil with all the
soil that wishes to cling to the roots.
A dibble or stick is never used to
make a hole for putting the plant into
the SOIL Instead Of this, he takes
nice piece of straight-grained sid
ing about one-half inch thick and
four inches wide The length is regu-
lated by the width of the trans.
planting bed or the box of soil in
which he wishes to put the plant.
One edge of the thin board, is sharp
ened into a sort of blade. He sets
the sharp edge of, the board on the
soil at an angle of about forty-five
degrees and pushes it down to a
depth of two to two and one-half
inches. The upper back portion OF
the board is then pulled forward
without raising the tool from the
soil. This throws up a little ridge
of soil in front of a nice, smooth,
open furrow. The plants are then
taken with the soil adhering to the
roots and laid along in this furrow at
the distance that one wishes them
to stand when transplanted. To reg'l-
late the depth of the plant, the col
lar is planted just to the soil line and
the plant is given little push with
the back of the finger. This pressure
is Just sufficient to hold it in place
on the oblique slope of the furrow.
When the whole row of plants has
been laid, the board is again set at
an angle of forty-five degrees behind
the ridge of soil that was made by
the former operation. The upper
side is then pushed toward the plant,
throwing the ridge of soil into the fur
row. The finishing consists in
laying the board flat on the soil
which has been turned over the roots
of the plants and pressing the board
down SO as to firm the soil about the
plants. The man Is then ready to
open up a new furrow and put In
another row.
The advantages gotten by this
method are no crowding or punching
Of the roots. 1t Is well-known that II
the roots of the plant are wadded up
into a little ball, which often re-
suits when they are pushed into a
little hole in the soil, the plant Is
checked in growth or it may die.
But by the method Of lifting the
plants alluded to, there is no break
ing of roots and the whole system Is
transferred in the transplanting In
conducted with lettuce
plants, it was found that plot OF
plants transplanted every day by this
method from the time they were four
days old made head lettuce of larger
size and just as good quality more
quickly than plants which were
only two or three times
and allowed to grow in the ordinary
way. This method is desirable for
annual Towering plants and all sorts
of vegetable plants which require

GAVEL HANDLE HAS
HISTORIC VALUE

Keosauaqua. March 15.-The Ruth.
can society of the M. E. church were
entertained Wednesday afternoon at

made from an old cupboard from the
old church and the other part from
the famous "old church tree" which
is located just up the'river a short
distance from Pittsburgh, under which
the early settlers used to gather for
worship. The little token was great

home at Alexandria Bay, Thousand
Islands, Villas one day suddenly
dropped out of the sky to the lawn at
her feet. As the two had been friends,
when he asked her to go riding with
him she thought there was nothing
wrong In her accepting the offer.
They reached an altitude of 5000
feet. Then Villas looked tenderly into
the eyes of his companion and asked
her to marry him.
She hesitated. Papa might object
she replied. And besides, I can't
think way up here"
Villas said nothing but scared an
other thousand feet. Then he repeat
ed the same question. She was fixing
her hair just then and didn't answer.
So he went up another thousand feet
and for the third time asked. her the
same question. She leaned over and
took one look down. Then she re-
piled:
Yes
They descended. He brought her
back to the spot from which they had
risen. The girl. a little nervous
jumped out and told her friends all
about it.
Now Villas advises all young men
who contemplate proposing to take the
young women of their choice out air

ton at an altitude of 5000 feet.

The turning back of Sherman's army
