second or third day, it is ready for the
seeds. Early cabbage, lettuce, cauli-
flower, peppers and tomatoes may be
sown in drills about four inches apart.
These may be put in in your locality
about the middle of March. Sprinkle in
the morning, after the sun is we'll up,
enough to moisten the ground well.
Keep watch of the temperature (you
will need a thermometer always in the
frame), and when it indicates 75 degrees
open the sash and give air. Open each
sash little way, and open at the top or
north side, unless there is a north wind

The cost of such a frame should not
be far from ten dollars for one who has
to buy plank, sashes, manure and all. If
you have any of these the cost can bere-
duced.
Yes, I think it would pay where one
has market for a thousand plants, as
more than that can be grown in the
drills.
The outlay of another ten dollars
would furnish you two thousand two.
inch pots, into which you could trans
plant the plants when of sufficient size,
and the frame would hole about that
amount, thus giving plant which would
be easily transplanted.
If these directions are followed, there
need be no difficulty in managing the
hot-bed, but care must be taken to
watch the temperature, and do not get
far away from it in the morning or even
ing. A few minutes neglect, when it
is too hot or too cold, may ruin great
many plants.
Those who do not care to built hot
bed may start plants in boxes in the
house, setting them in kitchen windows
by day and near the stove by night, and
thus get sufficient plants for a garden,
but it requires almost as much care and
trouble as to make and take care of the
hot-bed. But the care and trouble usu-
ally fall upon the ladies of the house,
which some men would think almost
equal to an entire saving of labor.
