H GOLD FRAME.
From the Mass. Ploughmau.l

lFrom the MASS, flouRnman'l
One of the simplest means for keep
ing " winter half hardy plants ia
the continuance called the cold frame.
In 1t will bloom psnsies and vislets
till Christmas, unless the weather Is
unusually severe, and will begin to
grow and flower again usually about
the middle or last of February. II is
also q capital place in which TO start
and aower Dutch bulbs, and the seeds
of hardy plants which we wish to start
early in the spring.
The construction of the cold frame is
simple: Choose tor q location q place
open to the south and east, and build
o tight board fence on the north side
six feet high and three feet longer than
your frame Is to be. Let the posts be
set leaning to the north about six inches
from the perpendicular. so that when
you wish to lean the mats, shutters, or
ssshes against the fence they will easily
hold their place. About two feet from
the fence set up on edge q : lank 2 < II
inches and as long as you wish the
fame to be. Hold Il in place by stakes
1x4 inches driven firmly down and
nailed to the plank with nine penny
nails. Just six feet outside measure
south of this plank set another one
eight or nine inches wide and four or
Ave inches lower at It's upper edge than
the wide plank. Secure this in the
same WAY by stakes. Now place your
sashes across the planks and fit q piece
of plank across each end of the frame
SO as to be al high az the top Of the
sashes.
The frame should be brsced across
inside at every third sash or nine feet.
Outside of this frame or the south side
aud ends set up on edge an inch board
at the same height as the frame, and
distant from it one foot. The space
between the board and the frame is to
be filled with forest leaves, tan bark or
ael grass, as also the space between the
north plank aud the fence. This will
effecinally stop the frost from working
sndsr the plaaks.
The care of the cold frame 10 not
very laborious; in bright weather
when the thermometer is above ID deg,
ne mats and shutters are thrown OFF
Goopt s or 9 o'clock and leaned against
Tie teEce, and il the weather is windy
are hsid in place by a stout line drawn
outside them. When the thermometer
Is ut 20 deg, or over and the sun
bright, the ssshes must be tilted up
from half an inch to three inches or
more at the porth side, and when it 10
poi freezing or windy it will do good
40 take the glass entirely off, leaning
the sashes against the fence; this is
often Done ia case OF O warm rain
ocut spriAg il the bed gets dry.
The plants that may be grown easily
Ia a cold frame are early chrysanthe-
mums, pansies, violcts, daisies. prim
roses, ~pcIyanthus. anemone, hellebore.
The Dutch bulbs such as hyscinths.
crocus, Darcissus, tulips and the like
will flower in a cold frame a full
mouth or two earlier thsn in the open
air. And some tender bulbs that can
not be grown out OF doors such rs
1~ree.ia, lxis, lender kinds OF iris, and
the like do well in the cold frame and
give healthy flowers than in the
drier air of the greenhouse.

then the value of the property has
q~uadrupled. Emma is now worth
three-euarters of 4 million of dollars
and it is invested so that il brings her
in over 10 per cent. Her income from
her rents is about $4,000 a year, and
she adds nearly $40 900 to that as the
profit from her seasons work. 1t has
been claimed that she vas getting too
fat for symmetry, but who wouldn't
get fat with such results to contem-
plate? When she was q country school
teacher in Peoria county and had to
walk ten miles TO the city every Satur-
day night she WAS thin enough.

NEWPORT COOKING PARTIES.

LClars Bellies Letter t., Philadelphia Press.l
The last faint attempt at odd dever-
sion at Newport m to me from .
participant. The hostesses there have
hit upon a novel method of amusing
their guests. The idea is to arrange
cooking parties, at which each person,
unassisted, prepares some special dish.
No. servants whatever are permitted to
take part, and when the dainties are
prepared a table is set and the gentle
men wait upon the ladies. Of curse
this is only done as an occasional
amusement, but it gives to the ladies
an opportunity of appearing in very
dainty aprons. while the men are by no
means guiltless OF the vanity of dom
ming special attire, which generally
takes the form of white washing silk
csps and Jackets.
