A Navy Yard at h!aiers.

The bill which Senator B. l..
Gibson introduced in the Senate
and which was referred to the
Committee on naval affairs, may
become a law if the Nationa! Leg;sla.
ture awakens at This season to a
realization of the necessity to- more
vigorous efforts towards the defense
of onr seacost and the preservation
Of our merchant marine. The preum.
bic to this bill sets forth conyining
arguments for the site. When
Pensacola was selected az the loca
ton for the only naval station on
the Gnlf. it was the deepest port
between the mouth Of C~hesapeak
Bay and the Rio Grande. At that
lime the longest range guns could
not lombard across Santa Rosa

Last Years Crop.

The estimate of the statistician Of
the Department Of Agriculture for
the principal cereals r computed,
aud the aggregate bushels are as
follows, in round millions: Corn
1886, wheat 1851, oats $40. The
area Of corn is Is O00,0 900 acres, Of
wheat $4,000, 900. ofoats $4,000 600.
The value of corn averages nearly
SO cents a bushel. The decrease in
wheat is 80 per cent. and II per
cent in the valuation, which is 1915
0OO, 900. The reduction in wheat
is mostly in the valleys of the Ohio
and in California. The States Of
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and
Kansas last year produced 100000
900 bushels. this year 10000 600, o
reduction Of 10000, 900 bushels.

PLAN FOB 4 HOTBED.

Il IL hardly to be doubted that several,
at least, Of our readers are thinking of
preparing hotbeds. this month. Here
with we present plan which has the
personal endorsement Of the agricultural
editor of the Topeka CAPITAL, and which
may prove an efficient aid to persons in
want of none light:
Prepare first three or four loads Of
fresh horse manure by placing it evenly
in q pile on the south side OF high
board fence, wall or building, shaking it
a. laid down thoroughly 80 that there
will be no humps or large punches.
This lie important. Let it lie few days
until il commences to heat, then careful
iy shake it out and spread it evenly as
before, this time placing inside that
which WIS formerly the outside of the
pile; psck it downicarefully, leaving the
top even. The size OF the pile should be
about Gx fest square. To still further
protect II from the weather, q hole the
die OF the bed and two feet deep can be
dug d which to place this bed. Howev-
n, Ehis il not absolutely essential if the
other requirements are carefully cOnsid-
Ard. Now take inch, or inch and half
or even two inch boards and make a
frame about three by four feet in size,
leaving the back portion of it, that part
nearest the fence or wall, two feet high,
giving slant of one foot in four. Place
fhis on top of the pile of manure and put
into IL about five or six inches OF rich,
Ane, mellow earth, and when handy, g.
half inch or so clean river sand. The
latter il not essential although preferable.
Cover the frame with the sash three by
four feet in size. Pack manure around
the frame up to the top and your hot bed
is complete. When the manure begins
to warm up steam will arise on the glass.
Raise the glass until the first strong
heat expends itself, then SOW your seeds
and water the earth. Those who want
to start hot bed this spring should i'm
mediately begin operations as above.
