How to Make Hot Beds.

Thomas D. Baird, veteran farmer
aud gardner, gives in the Ohio Farm
er, some practical hints on the above
subject. Tue success of the hot bed
depends, he says, on the proper de-
gree of warmth and the right man
agement of this warmth in order
that it may continue and that it may
not become so violent as to harm ill.,
stead Of good. The warmth is ob-
famed by fresh horse manure and
half its bulk in forest leaves, when
accessible. The manure and leaves
should be we'll mixed and trOdden
down. If any ways dry, it should be
watered until we'll dampened
throughout the heap. In about three
DAYS il may be forked over, then in
two days or SO it is ready to be put in
the pit.
The pit NUT be dug In suitable
place, so as to be protected as much
as possible from the cold winds that
come from the north aud northwest,
and so that the frame may be fully
exposed to the south or east. The
depth of the pit should be about two
aud q nalf feet. In length and
breadth it should be fully 4 foot larg-
er on each side than the frame. In
putting in the warm manure care
must be taken to tramp it down layer
after layer Is it is put in. In this
way the excavation is to be filled full
ana then it is ready for the frame
which must be made straight and
true 81 the sash will make close fiji
and kt ep in the heat when it is put
on. When the frame is placed oil
top of the manure the outside shouiC
oe banked up with the earth taker
out OF the pit, in order to keep thu
neat in. Inside on top of the manure
there. should be placed layer of sol
about six inches in depth, to SOW thu
seed on, aud this cannot be too ricl
and mellow for success. The seed
must not be sowed at first, as tn
heat may be too great. Every season
thousands of hot beds are failure
aud the scotsman is blamed for send
ing out poor seed, when the seed
were burned up by the first heat.
The essentials for success are
] steady, uniform degree of heat an
moisture, keeping the soil at a

Money in Pigs; Keep Them Growing.

With hogs selling at present prices
It il going 10 pay to take the best
Lossible care of and get on the
market ss soon as possible, all the
pigs one has to spare. For that rea-
-on, they must be made to take on all
the flesh possible.
A very good substitute for milk for
growing pigs may be found in fine
wheat middlings, with small pro
portion of boiled flaXseed mixed with
The mess, says a writer in London
paper. This last gives the pigs
enough oil to keep them sleek, and it
is more easily dlgested than the
starchy nutriment in corn, which is
difficult of digestion Still we advise
using all the skinned milk that eau
be got in addition. II there be only
enough to color the swill before the
fine iced is mixed in, the bone and
flesh forming elements in the milk
will not be lost. If the hot dish
water is mixed with it in the pail
Just before feeding, the mess will be

warmth Of the dish water rather
than its nutritive elements that gives
it value. Owing to the rapidity with
which pigs can be increased, the
price of pork often varies greatly
within a year or two. 1t depends
partly also on the abundance or
scarcity of grain, especially Of corn
When the corn crop is poor, rs it IL

Garden and Orchard.

How about the apple orchard that
has been used for many years as a
place for the colts, calves and other
etock to run in. 1t gives q crop OF

and trim the trees. The result will
be very satisfactory, and you will be
induced to use commercial fertilizers

THE KNELI

Died, in this county, about O'Clock on
Wednesday morning last. much lamented by
every true friend OF his country, THE LIB
ERTY OF THE PRESS. The wound which
caused this lamented event, was inflicted in
January last, with an uncouth and rusty Old
instrument, forged some centuries ago in
England, and now welded by high official
character, and twenty-four OF his associates.
Among the physicians who were consulted in
the case, opposite opinions existed: and the
only condition OF cure was, that the victim
should never again utter a word of TRUTH,
on which distant voice was heard to ex-
claim that the remedy was worse than the
disease, and the Liberty of the Press expired
with many struggles, but without groan.

OINeS some important information
About the Present Condition of the
People.
At no time in the history of New York City
have there been 50 many deaths from pneu-
monia as now. The official figures show that
nearly twice as many deaths from this cause
are occurring than for the last five years. This
is something terrible.
Or. John I. Nagle, Registrar of Vital Statis-
tics, says that this increase is due to the infiu
ence OF grip. He says that grip may be called
epidemic Just now, and that in the majority
of cases grip Is vital. contributing cause to
pneumonia and all dangerous pulmonary
troubles. At this time OF the year when we
are changing over from winter to spring, there
is always a low order of vitality-a reaction
from the strains of the season. The blood
does not tiow so full nor rapidly; the strength
is less. For this reason grip has a much bet
ter chance than at any other season.
This is 4 time OF year when people need to
be careful, and too much importance cannot
be placed upon keeping the blood warm aud
in circulation You must bring about reac-

gers Of these troubles in time. There is but
one way by which a reaction can te brought
about and that is by the use of q pure stinu-

Guilty is that there are few whiskies which are

lieyed more suffering than anything of a SIM

HAPPY CARPENTERS.
How Fellow Members are Aiding in
GeffinO Homes

Thomas O'Neli, for the past five years
treasurer of local Union No % of the
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of
America, was made the recipient of a
genuine treat yesterday through the action
of building bee" rendered him by seven
teen members of the carpenters union.
Early yesterday morning the band of
mechanics proceeded to lot owned by
O'Neill on Richland avenue, between
Holly and South avenues, near st. Mary's
College. and commenced the construct ction
of building which is intended for the
home of their treasurer and his family.
Everything, lumber. nails, and material
was in readiness, and the foundation was
laid in short order.
By noon the frame of the new house was
in position and the happy and swift-work-
ing carpenters we're making rapid progress
toward getting the building enclosed be-
fore nightfall.
Mr.. O'Neill himself was also plying saw
ana hammer and had but little time to
spend in conversation.
He, however, stated that the lot on
which he Is now building was purchased
some eight years ago, and until now he has
been unable TO erect a comfortable home.
The dwelling which is being buiit by his
tellow-unionlsts is to he a somewhat more
pretentious structure than has been mt
up by the building bees" given to several
other members during the past year in
aiding them to become Independent of this
landlords.
1t will be two stories in height. with
bay-window front, ana will contain seven
rooms. Through the good Offices of his
fellow-members Treasurer O'Neiil will Sc
cure $4,000 house for less than $1,000.

on the following Sunday, and by working

summered it last year. There isn't any
good in camping, because it's too hard
work TO carry wood and you have to get
up in the morning and wash yourself from
q hard, slippery rock. with piece of cas-
tile soap that gets covered with sand. And
then you can't shave and look decent, and
the country jays stare at you so. Then for
the tepid man there Is nothing in fishing
because it's so fearfully tiresome and YOU
are liable to brush against poison oak and
get your eyes sweiled shut. There is
nothing in picnicking, because to sit out
in the open air and eat a lot of cold food
is not half as comfortable as to sit up to q
good warm dinner at home. And the
person who would desert good spring
mattress to lie in an unsafe, w0bbly and
double-you-up hammock has the tepid
mans sympathy.
Ne, the tepid man can get all the green
things he wants at the market, for peas.
asparagus and lettuce are in the height of
their season now. If he wants any fresh
air he can open the window. Next Sun
day he will go out TO the Park, sit on
bench, paper in hand, while lie smokes his
pipe and reads about how hot it is in the
country and how the campers have taken
possession of CaZadero and how one of
+ them has got drOwned while bathing in
