 thrown away. 



Sttvias. 



Keep the stevias pinched, and as they 

 have brittle stems, easily broken by rain 

 and wind storms, it will pay to place a 

 stake to each plant to hold the shoots 

 intact. Where stock has been planted 

 outdoors it is better to lift and pot it 

 about the end of August, before the 

 plants become unwieldy in size. Shade 

 for a few days; spray overhead freely 

 and soon they will establish themselves 

 in the pots. Keep outdoors just as late 

 as you can. 



THE TRADE PRESS. 



Its Value as a Commercial Force. 



In the very nature of things the man 

 of affairs, with multitudinous and various 

 cares pressing sorely on his time and at- 

 tention, necessarily becomes self -centered 

 and preoccupied. So engrossed is he in 

 the proper attention to his own imme- 

 diate problems that he can find no time — 

 even if he had the inclination — to observe 

 those of his neighbor. Least of all has 

 he the incentive to step out from his own 

 circumscribed world, banish from his 

 mind the narrow things, level self and in- 

 dividuality, merge them all in a common 

 and impartial landscape and then calmly 

 and fairly study the situation. 



Such a man as this — and variations 

 from type are only in degree — is the man 

 for whom the trade press stands as an 

 invaluable ally. While he digs and delves 

 in his own tasks, the trade press is his 

 reliance for more basic information than 

 he imagines. The ordinary press gives 

 him the product of its daily observations
