THE COLD FRAME.

A Useful Adjunct to the Kitchen Garden.
There are many garden vegetables
which are benefited by transplanting.
II sown in the open ground they will not
come forward in their proper season.
Generally, as far as farmers are con-
cerned, they can not be bought even at
the right time, because the farmer lives
too far from nursery or professional
gardener. To men so situated / would
advise the making of cold frame. 1t
need not cost much, and it will not ii
my advice is taken. A common window
sash gagged for sx10 panes, or larger If
possible, can be bought very cheap, and
the lowest-priced glass will do. l will
guarantee that any farmers wife or
daughter will gladly set the glass either
with putty or with tacks. Now obtain
a good inch board, cut it in lengths to
suit the sash and make your cold frame
In a sheltered place, where 1t can
always remain intact. Dig down
twelve TO sixteen inches, fill with
fresh horse manure well compacted
TO furnish bottom heat. Throw over 1t
a few buckets of water and place your
frame so as to receive the southern sun.
Let the north part Of the frame be from
four TO six inches higher SO as to shed
rain, which should be conducted away
from the frame, II it be in excess. Bank
M the earth around the frame TO hold 1t
firm and to shed the water.
On the compacted manure place good,
rich soil to the depth of six inches, made
mellow and fine, then with some small
boards fitted to the soil divide the space
intoothree or four compartments and
sow cabbage, tomato, caulifower, pep
pers. etc, according to your fancy. Cab
bare and cauliflower are pretty hardy
and should be transplanted as soon as
large enough, and the space in the
frame filed with celery seed, the plants
ot which will not need to be set out very
early. In passing allow me to emphasize
tk.: IL YOU want early cabbages and to
aanoes, after the plants have been re-
moved into the open grounds, they need
hoeinr almost every day and must not
be neglected.
You will be able with any full sash OF

The beauty Of Health.

How many women with regular features
THAI might he beautiful, are not, and instead
Of awakening our admiration only arouse
our pity. Their hollow eyes and sunken
cheeks and sallow skin haunt our memory.
Alas an invalid wife or mother or sister
fills the house with gloom and sadness, and
an otherwise happy freside is Swallowed
with pail of regret. Blessed be the physi-
clan who has invented remedy with power
to strengthen the female organization, that
regulates the delicate functions of feminine
life, that relieves those bearing down pains,
that renews the appetite, that perfects di-
gestion, that brightens the eyes and beauti-
ties the complexion with the glow of health.
Such remedy is DR.. Bulls Sarsaparilla

THE POULTRY YARD.

-One-third corn-meal and two-thirds
wheat with skim milk makes good ra-
ton.
kerosene is cheap. Use plenty Of
1t in the poultry-house in the spring.
Give the turkeys and ducks a good
feed of corn every night
Geese should not be kept unless
they can be kept separate from the other
fowls.
Ground oats is good feed for all
kinds Of young poultry; much better
than too much corn-meal.
If the most money is to be realized
from young poultry, II Is quite an item
to have them Matched out early.
-whitewash can be used to good ad-
vantage all during the season, especial
ly in keeping down lice as well as in
purifying the air.
So far as possible the nests for the
hens should be placed in a dark place

TOLD OF The TITLED.

QUEEN VICTORIA recently ordered her
baker to make her an American apple
pic.
LEOPOLD, King of the Belgians, is
over six feet high. IIe is possessed Of
enc literary tastes and geography is his
hobby.
Tue Crown Prince o: Sweden and
Norway during his recent stay at Moran
adopted two little Tyrolese boys, sons
OF poor carpenter, and they are now
members of his household at Stockholm.
The Emperor William has issued an
order that In future no paintings or
statues or busts Of himself or of any
members of tho royal family, either
alive or dead, are to be purchased with
any public funds for galleries or public
buildings.
TIE Queen of Sweden delights in
forced meat balls, fried In sweet olive
oil and served with poached eggs, and
always the national dish OF raw salmon
preserved in tho ground and smoked to
perfection as the great feature. French
wines figure on the royal table.
THE late Empress Augusta always
said that tho month of January was
fatal to monarchies. She was greatly
shocked when she heard of the suicide
Of the Crown Prince OF Austria, because
it confirmed her belief in tho sinister
nature of January, in which it occurred.
When she was taken i'll with tho in
nuenza she said: sit is January; shall
die"
AN American who recently saw the
King and Queen Of Portugal says: ''The
King is fino-looking young man, about
thirty years of age, decidedly blonde, Of
medium height, well built and with a
graceful carriage. The Queen, who is a
daughter of the Comte de Paris, is con-
sidered beautiful, but if sho were not a
Queen would probably be called simply
a very pretty woman"
THE little King of SPANS first de.
mand when he began to get we'll was
that he should be taken ''to sec the
lame beggar,' cripple for whom he
has formed great attachment, and who
is allowed to come to the side Of tho car
riage and hold long conversations with tho
young monarch, when he is out for an
airing. Tho King is very self-willcd as
he grows older, and will only yield to
his mother when she tells him she is
going to her room to cry. That always
wins him over.
EMPEROR FREpERIcK's death probably
destroys the Duke of Cumborland's last
hope Of recovering tho largo private
fortune Of which he was practically
robbed by the German Government Old
Emperor William wanted to restore it
to him but Prince Bismarck overrulod
mis- desire. Emperor Frederick was de-
ternined that no should have it, and
had his life been spared would doubtless
have carried out his design in spite Of
tho Chancellor. But now the Dukes
righteous claim is not worth cont or
the thousand dollars.
IT is curious fact that King Hum
bert, of Italy, is nearer to the throne Of
tho United Kingdom, If tho divine right
of blood DO recognized, than Queen Vic
toria. Her majcsty's title is derived
from tho beautiful daughter of James l..
Elizabeth of Bohemia, whose daughter
became the mother of George L., while
tho Italian sovereigns comes from
James son, Charles L., whose daughter
Henrietta Maria, married into the House
Of Savoy. Thus he has ono generation
moro of English blood in his veins thar
his royal cousin of England.

over and above your own wants, and
thus TO pay for time, trouble and ex-
penses.
But the raising of plants is not all you
can do with such a frame. After your
plants have been put out in the open
grounds, put in a little extra manure,
cut few thin sods, invert them and
place upon these from four 10 six cucum-
Der seeds, which in very little while
may upon the sods be carried to the
open beds, for by this time the season
will have so far advanced that all dan
ger from frost in an ordinary season Is
over.
One or two other points essential to
success are a regular supply of moisture
and care that too-hot sun does not
scald and kill the young plants. And
remember that all the seeds named are
very fine, and will not need more than
one-quarter of an inch of earth for
covering.
A similar frame with like treatment
will easily produce all the sweet potato
plants needed for an acre or more Of
ground.
1t is an error to suppose that rainy
weather is the best time to set out
plants of any kind Of vegetables. If
the soil is in good filth and the quantity
OF moisture sufficient to compact the soil
well to the rootlets, any fair day is bet
ter than rainy weather. If the applica-
ton of water is deemed necessary-for
we must use common-sense in all our
corporations with nature-let it be APP
piled late in the afternoon or evening,
and only in sufficient quantities to COM
pact the soil around the roots. Use a
| common wooden dibble or very small
trowel for your transplanting.
Now, about this time-as the almanac
has it-look out for the cut worm. Trap
him If you can, and let not one of them es-
cape. But how? Two methods will men,
ton. First. take round-pointed stick or
your homemade dibble and drill four
holes equi-distant around each plant,
all OF them covering a space of about
! four inches; make the holes six inches
deep with smooth sides. If the worm
gets into these he can not extricate him
self and perishes. Or, second, tie small
pladgets Of clover together and place
these around your plants, and under
these look for Mr.. Worm early in the
morning, and when you find him punch
the life out of him. Nothing better than
hand picking has yet been discovered to
destroy this pest.
1t will hardly be necessary to state
here that squashes or any kind of
melons can be ohurried into bearing
quite as we'll as cucumbers. When do
nestle gardening is done as it should
be, two and even three crops in sea-
son may be grown on the same land.

HOW HE DID 1T.
Twenty Eight Bales of Cotton on Twelve
Acres and How &c was Made,

Twenty Eight Bales of Cotton on Twelve
Acres and How 1t was Made.
Mr.. j. p. Gray, of Carter County, s.
c., made twenty-eight bales of cotton
on twelve acres. Mr.. Gray gives the
following facts about it;
Broke the land flush with six~inch
turn pillow, deep, in latter part of Febru-
airy. Then laid off in five-foot rows,
very deep. Put down fifty bushels green
cotton seed per acre; measured acres
twenty-one rows to task. Covered the
seed lightly with board on pillow stock.
Let stand until April 8, and put down
200 pounds Of Georgia State Grange fer
tilizer to the measured acre on top OF
the seed. Then put four burrows, with
seven-inch turn pillow, to the bed, mod
erately shallow; opened for plant
ing with small, short bull tongue.
Dropped seed by hand thirty inches
apart in hills; covered with log
drag on April 10; then on the first Of
May, before it was fairly up, plowed
very shallow with twenty-six inch
sweep, four burrows to the row and re-
planted; stand poor On May 20, plowed
every other middle very shallow, and
put in the siding furrow 200 pounds OF
the following mixture: Equal
quantities cotton seed meal, acid phos-
phate and kainit to the measured acre.
On June /, same in the other middle,
going behindoeach blowing with hoes,
and chopping any thing that should not
remain in cotton; going over three
acres per day the hand; thinned to stand,
which was never very good. On June
10 put four burrows to every othei
middle, with twenty-six-inch sweep,
very shallow; on the 24th four burrows
to every other middle with twenty-six.
inch sweep very shallow. July 6, the
other middle the same way; on the 18th
same as the other middle; on the 30th
same in the unplowed middle. The
cotton. by this time would hide a
medium-sized mule. Did not pillow any
more. After the land was broken all
blowing was very shallow. Season was
good through April, dry in May, until
middle Of July, and then excessively
hot and wet After very heavy rains
18th, i4th and iSth--all the crop on the
place, except the twelve acres de-
scribed, scalded and stopped growing
and made nothing after that. But the
twelve acres did not drop form or leaf
or change color, and grew on steadily
until September 10. Then the cater
pillars left nothing but stalks and bolls.
1 am confident the patch would
have made one-half bale more to The
acre if the caterpillar had not attacked
it. The land was old and worn. Ten
years ago I commenced to manure it.
Soil is sandy, mixed little with clay,
varying from six inches to three feet in
the twelve acres.
