THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD
Materials for Hot-beds.


The best material for hot-beds is horse ma
nure well mixed with leaves; but tanners
bark, fax and cotton waste are often used,
and serve the purpose remarkably well. ANY
of the kinds require considerable preparation
before being used in the hot-bed. Stable ma
nure should be turned and mixed with about
one-third its bulk OF leaves, oak leaves being
the best. Before being used, If the manure
is very dry, it requires good deal OF water to
wet it evenly, so that fermentation will begin
the more rapidly. Manure alone ferments
very rapidly and creates strong heat, but
does not last so long as when mixed with
leaves. They are not SO quick to ferment,
but keep a more lasting heat after being
built into the bed. After the manure and
leaves are thoroughly incorporated, allow
them to lie in heap for a few days, then
turn again if fermentation has taken place
and add more leaves If the heat is very strong,
and If it shows any appearance of burning
give more water, as 1t is generally when the
materials are dry that burning takes place.
Flax or cotton waste, mixed with the ma
nure, retains heat long time. Waste, leaves
and manure, thoroughly mixed, make the
best fermenting material ever used. About
one-half manure, and the other half waste
good condition for forming the bed, pit with
close sides is the best for holding the fer
menting material. If built open, a day Of
strong wind with considerable frost. blows al
the heat out of it; but when built with close
sides this is prevented; or, when pit is ex.
cavated out of the ground it is better still for
retaining the heat. A pit about 3 feet deep
in front and about inches deeper at the
back, and 6 feet wide makes good sized
place for this purpose; of course it can be as
long as necessary for what is required of it.
A pit of this kind is better to be so construct.
ed as to afford an opportunity for adding lin
ings if it be deemed necessary by the heat in
the bed decreasing.
When putting the heated material into the
pit shake it in loosely and evenly. When
thrown in carelessly it never heats evenly, mol
does it all sink at the same time. Tread il
occasionally while putting it in, and if dry
give water, but not so much as to cool it too
much. A calm day is the most suitable fol
making hot-bed. When done with frosty
wind blowing the heat is driven out of it. The
material is best mixed under cover-in the
cellar or any similar place.
Fill the pit within about six inches of the
top, as there will be just about sufficient
room for the plants, seeds, or whatever is tc
be put into it, after the manure has sunk
from fermentation and the necessary soil put
on the top.
do not deem it advisable, in the northern
states at least, to start hot-bed before The
middle of March, and only then when the
weather is mlld.-COuntry Gentleman.

Nor longer sport in dazzling showers;
The earth is waiting for your kiss,
You phantoms of the flowers!
When, orbed in spicy dews, you rolled
From leaf to leaf along those hours.
Sweet with wild roses breath, you learned
The secret of the fowersS
TRANSPORTED in your frosty bloom,
NOW like wrath the pine-tree towers,
And on his savage boughs you hang
Garlands of ghostly flowers.
But sink into the sod, and wait
The entertainments of this star of ours,
And back to sunshine shall you burst,
Branches of living flowers!

RKroRr or COUNTY SURVEYOR.

County Surveyor Smith reported that
since his last report but little work had
been done on the roads OF the county. We
extract the following from his report:
"The masonry Of bridge at McCrum's
on W. W. L. & B. turnpike, has been com
pleted, so as to receive the superstruct.
ire, which is also well advanced and will
be thrown open to travel by the middle
OF the present week. The repairs Of
bridge on Glcnn's Run have been com.
pleted, and that bridge is now in use.
'The grading OF Pogue's Run is the
only work OF that description now in
progress in the county, and is expected
TO be ready for final estimate by the
end Of this week.
Sowing to the slow progress which was
made by Walters Il 'McGovern during
the last two months, force employed by
the county to finish the most necessary

only continued thus late in the season
IN order TO protect and make available
the.work already done, and will be sus.
pended as soon as that object is attained
