easier by thoroughly wetting the soil In
the box an hour or two before you are
ready to transplant.
These suggestions apply also to the
treatment of plants bought OF florist,
scotsman or grocer. unless these are IN
paper pots, in which case simply tear the
paper loose without disturbing the root
system. To remove a plant from regu-
lar clay pot, place the hand across the
surface OF the soil. with the plant be-
tween the first and second fingers invert
the pot and strike the edge on a bench
or other solid object. when the plant, soil,
roots and all will slip out intact
The rules for setting any plant in the
ground are briefly these:
I. Allow the roots 10 spread out and
extend downward as far as they can.
. Be sure that the soil is compacted
about the roots. at the bottom is we'll as
near the crown Of the plant.
g. Set the plant slightly deeper than It
grew before transplanting, but do not
bury the crown or bud
4. Keep the plant upright and In
straight line by using a cord or marker.

is doing little questionable business TO

The same game is often carried on in
the small night clubs. However strict
and careful a proprietor may he. there
are sure TO be occasions when people
other than members OF the club are
served with drinks. This is an offence
against the law, and II is not a difficult
matter for the bogus detective. who keeps
sharp eye on these night clubs, TO ex
tort money from the proprietor by
threatening TO report to the authorities
the fact that he has sold drinks to non
members
The proprietor of one OF the night clubs
or oxford ST. informed the writer quite
recently that last year he paid nearly
$50 in hush money" 10 a man who
regularly attended the club and repre-
scented himself as detective in such cir
cumstances. And il was not until he had
paid this sum, and the bogus detective
had been coming TO the club for nearly
nine months, that he discovered that he
was not connected with the police.

the several types OF this instrument are
handle and upright staff, a reservoir
for, the seeds, pointed hopper at the
bottom and a valve, operated by a foot
projecting from the bottom and con-
trolled by a spring. The operator walks
forward beside the place where the row
is to be. and at every step thrusts the
pointed hopper into the ground as far as
an adjustable guard permits. In moving
forward he brings the foot In contact
with the ground, thus opening the valve

For best results with squash, melons,

soil is really warming up. dig a hole at
least eighteen inches deep and a foot In
diameter. In this put big shovelful OF
thoroughly rotted manure, mixing It we'll

SEED SOWING AND
TRANSFORMING

There appears 10 be some doubt among
amateur gardeners as TO the meaning OF
various terms and their application es-
pecialy with regard 10 planting. so we
may as well run over this subject night
now when the sowing of seeds and the
setting out Of plants are at their height
In the first place, seeds are sown' out
doors. either in hills or drills. This word
drill causes some confusion. since IT Is
also used not only as a verb to describe
the act OF planting in drill. but even to
describe a seeder or apparatus with which
seeds are sown In other words, we fire.
ouently find ourselves drilling seeds In
drill with a drill. However. II all be-
comes simple when we understand that
drill. IN the sense first mentioned means
merely a continuous row. Drill AND hill
sowing are illustrated in the planting OF
spinach. peas or radish, and corn or GU
cumbers. respectively. Thus we MAKE

Wives should also be warned against the
man who calls during the absence OF the
husband and, telling a plausible tale of
how the latter has been caught stealing
something from a shop or warehouse,
asks for money TO pay for the goods in
order that the man shall not be taken
to prison. This trick has become rather
common OF late. The bogus detective. OF

his victim is employed and as much

the season. Medium and Main Crop, Tele-
phone. Alderman, Champion OF England,
Senator. Strstagem and Dwarf Champion.
The last three are decidedly low-growing

make a wider and shallower drill, say
the width OF blade OF hoe. and scatter
the seed rather more thckly. The effect
OF this will be shading somewhat of

Bush beans may be sown three or four
inches apart in a single row. or may,
like lima beans. be planted in a double
row with the individual seeds alternating
in each row in a zigzag manner. In this
case the drill is easily made with a spade
