Numbered with other queries OF gen
eral interest sent out among leaulnS
apiarians all over the country, by the eol-
tor of The American Bee Journal, was
the following:
I'm wintertng bees outdoors, would II
be better to have the apiary on the south
side of hill facing south, where the hives
get plenty of sunshine; or on the north
side Of hill facing north, and no sun
shine, as some have contendedT"
In the twenty-one replies received all,
excepting one, favored the southern slope
and the sunshine. J. p. II. Brown said;
81 prefer the apiary on the north side OF
hill in warm climate, and on the south
side in q cold climate" G. w. Damaree
replied: 81 would prefer a southeastern
slope to any apiary ground But | have
had my apiary on four sites in the past,
differing widely from each other, and l
have really seen but little difference as to
the results The editor of The Bee
Journal concludes the replies with the
following advice: 'In the northern lati-
Jude, place the bees on the south side OF
the hill. In the south some prefer the
hives to face the north, but all desire them
to have as much sunshine as possible"

FARM AND GARDEN.
A CONVENIENT AND SAFE DEVICE
FOR HOLDING A BULL.

Southern Exposure and Sunshine for Bees.
Live Stock statistics-The Market Car
dener,, Eadish-An About Hotbeds.
Safe Ecvice for Handling Bull.
In this progressive age most farmers
grow some Of their plants under glass,
and in this manner keep apace with the
regular market gardener. The CON
struction and management Of hotbeds is
comparatively simple matter after one has
had some practical experience in this dl-
rection. Manure beds are the sort Often
est used and horse droppings is the pre-
ferred manure.
There are two methods in Use now by
gardeners in forming the manure bed,
some digging pit and sinking the
manure into it, and others building the
manure up into square bed and setting
the frame on it. The first method re-
quires the most labor and the SECOND the
most manure, hence in making choice
of methods one must let labor versus
manure decide the matter The first plan
is the one most generally employed, and
therefore is familiar, having been often
explained. The cut here given shows
perspective view of a bed constructed on
the manure without pit, and described
by Isaac +. Tillinghast, of La Plume, Pa,
in his PLANT Manual" along with other
instructive matter of general and wide
spread interest.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1888-03-15
HOTBED WITHOUT A PIT.

Mr. Tillinghast advises that the spot
selected for the bed be as sheltered as
possible on the north and west by some
building or high board fence. The sash
should slope gently to the south or east
If the manure is fine and contains little
or no long straw it will be necessary to
put plank frame around it to keep it in
position. After leveling the manure there
ought to be three or four narrow boards
laid across it on which to rest the hotbed
frame, so that after the manure heats all
will settle together evenly. Otherwise
the weight Of the frame and sash will
force down into the manure, and the
center of the bed will appear to raise and
dispace the plants.
When ready to begin operations the
manure ought to be forked over, shaken
out finely and thrown into high conical
heap to heat; if dry it should be watered
until well dampened throughout the heap.
If allowed to stand in this heap about one
week it Wal heat and begin to smoke like
a small volcano. A vital point to be OBJ
served in making a hot bed is to spread
the manure down while hot; it then con-
tinues to heat, but if spread down cold it
will heat slowly and unevenly. Early in
the spring, when considerable cold
weather is still anticipated it is advised
to use II common wagon box full of manure
to each sash, but later in the season, when
forming beds in which to transplant seed
lings, one-half that quantity will suffice.
The soil used should be prepared in adj
vance; it must be light, loose and rich.
This soil should be placed on the manure
IN 1atltb of froY1n RI eli
the glasses properly adjusted. The most
common sashes are 3 by 6 feet The
frame. therefore, should be made 6 feet
wide and as long as is necessary to accom-
MEDIATE the number of sashes to be used
After the soil becomes warm sow the
seed in rows about four inches apart and
scatter them quite thiCkly in the rows.
Mr.. Tillinghast advises against sowing
broadcast, as the labor of keeping free
from weeds is greater When the seed
lingS are about three inches high he trans
plants into rows 3 10y inche?, and as soon
as these require more space ht tranSplants
again. In transplanting tomato plants it
is advised to get the stem well into the
soil. The object sought is plenty of fibrous
roots on Il short, stocky stem. Closely
watch the temperature of the beds, which
ought to be kept as near Co degs. as pos
sible for tomatoes, peppers, etc. Cabbage
and cauliflOwer require less heat and
ought not to be placed in the same bel
with tomatoes. Mr. Tillinghast thinks
that better cabbage plants are produced
without bottom heat, and employs for
these a frame fitted the same as for q hot
bed, except that the manure is omitted
for the bottom heat lie covers this frame
with sash and sOws the seed in February
or early March.

How He Got Even.

A half witted fellow was travelling by rail-
way for the first time. Having seated him
self, he did not see the use of keeping a bit Of
cardboard, so he threw his ticket out of the
window of the carriage. Consequently, at
the station where the tickets were looked at,
he had to pay. At his journeys end he had
to acknowledge that he had been DONE A
few weeks later some men in railway car
riage saw this same man laughing immoder-
ately to himself in corner of the compart-
ment. They inquired the reason of his mer-
riment. He replied by telling them what he
had suffered on his first railway journey.
