The holiday spirit was r>Impant
here on Victoria Day, caro was cast
to the windy and iExeter'a patriotic
eitiznes and !thousands of people
from the surrounding country 'join•
ed in the celebratipll of the day.
The day was ushered It iwilh
bright sunshine and wua followed
with a continual round of pleasure.
The fact that the Agricultural So-
ciety wus at the head of the celebra-
tion found a responsive chord in the
hearts of :the people of Exeter and
the crowd was tdr'catly 'swelled by
representatives froth the country
gide.
The program commenced Shortly
after ten o'clock when a mon-
ster street parade took place.
The formation was made at
the square near the Metropolitan
hotel nud headed by Alco directors of
the society in the uutomobilo kindly
loaned by. Mr. \V..1. Gourley for ,the
occasion the march started. Tho
route ►vas down 'Main Street to the
town hall where ,\issues. N. Dyer

mitlee thanked roveryone for their
display of loyally ; lteeve Ilobier
;ave the freedom of ;lite town to the
visitors 011(1 .Mr. ,lobo lDclbridge
President of 1 he Society, expressed
his appreciation of the loyal man-
ner in which so many turned ,out to
assist in enticing Iles celebration a
succeas.
The parade this year. although the
trades were not. represented, was
away ahead of last year. The Cali-
thumpiann were Letter represented
and many .funny equipage. (were in
line. The. Kamm Land in grotesque
costumes and under tate Ieadersihp of
Alf. Walter. created a lot of merri-
ment. 1n the lino of march were the
Directors; Squire Leathoru as "John
Bull"; the town officials In carriage;
Lnodon Newsboys band; Soldiers;
School children; Fzetor band; Sports
Committee; Kazoo band; Calit7lum-
piane. Mr. W. 11. Elliott avas chief

The only thin; which happened to
mar the enjoyment of the morning
wag the actions of Home young men
in throwing a liquid commonly
known ne "ki-whoop" on the dumb
brutes in 1 he procession. ,One Of
the animals ryas rtl,nost crazed with
the stuff, and it was with difficulty
that some of the people were able ,to
get out of ifs way. One of the younz
sten, who is said to liltil from Lon-
don threw some of Abe liquid on lir.
8ellery's ,goal and the animal was in
such distress that it laid on the
around and bellowed from the pain.
It is the intention of the directors
to use every effort to put a stop Ito
such dastardly tricks in futur,- and
any person caught doing so .will be
severely dealt trill'.
Shortly after dinner the two hands
formed in front of the Central ant

The "paddle" may be made of a
pisco of 1X4 from 2 to 4 feet long
dressed down to proper .hails.
Some use a spade, not to lift the
soil, but to press it aside far enough
to insert the plant. In 'hard clay
land it is always better to raise and
stake the soil some but for loomy
soil this is not necessary. There are
in the market hand planters for rete
tin; out plants, which pet the plants
water and fertilize them pt the same
time. To the largegrowera these are
a neceatsity costing but. little, about
four dollars. In the large tomato
districts in the U. S. where individ-
ual !;rowers plant from 130 tto 40
and even 50 acres of 'tomatoes, a
machine is used requiring n horse
and three attendants. With this about
20,000 plants are set, ,watered and
fertilized in a day.
An expert with the aissist.lnce of
one or two boys can net 5000 plants
by hand. An ordinary farm hand
:with the above assistance ought
to set nit acre in a day so it; wilt
be men tMt machinery is clearly un.

two acres.

should be cultivated till they ,zet a

tomatoes too much. Ile sure your
