1t is taken for granted that the ma
jority of the readers of this journal
know how to construct hotbeds, if
they already have not one on the
grounds. The kitchen garden is, how
ever, distinctively the garden for the
family, and the wife and daughter will
have more to do with it than the men
folks, and Lence there may be some
conflict over the privileges of the
real hotbeds in which the large
quantities of plants for large areas are
raised. But with few shallow boxes,
her warm kitchen and the sunny
window, mother may be independent
OF the father and the boys and raise
her own vegetables as we'll as flower
plants. In making the boxes for the
kitchen hotbeds see that they are
small enough to handle, when filled,
without straining ones back A good
size Is about fifteen to eighteen inches
long and nine or ten inches wide;
three inches is deep enough, and two
inches will answer for many seeds.
Have the soil moderately rich, but by
all means have it fine.
After sowing the seed the soil must
be kept moist at all time, and when
the young plants appear give plenty
OF light, but avoid setting too close to
the glass, or the sun will burn the
tender seedlings.
When the young plants are an inch
or two high, transplant to other boxes
of soil and give less heat, the object
being to gradually harden the young
plants so that they may be placed in
the open air at the proper time with
out being obliged to protect them at
night.
Of course, even the miniature hot
beds described are not necessary ex-
cept for certain plants, like tomatoes,
etc, and even then for the kitchen
garden, where but few are needed, we
would advise buying the plants if
possible. By having the soil prepared
early and selecting the warmest loca-
tions for the earliest sown seed we
may dispense with the hotbed in many
cases and still have vegetables among
the earliest. Farm and Fireside.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

| NA-'D
Honey is the proper TODD for bees
after reaching maturity.
Chaf makes good absorbant in the
stable. 1t is good for bedding, too.
Too much care cannot be taken in
pruning. One mistaken cut may prove
ruinous.
Bees reared in the spring and sum-
mer are shorter lived than those reared
later in the season.
Firewood is more easily cut when
green, and makes quicker and better
fires when seasoned.
Cows are not kept for their COM
pany; therefore, why let them go dry
four to six months out of the year?
No comb made from foundation
quite equals in fineness the natural,
though in some cases it approaches it
very closely.
Bees when not gathering settle down
to very quiet condition, during
which there is very little wear and
tear of the system.
ICol n CoW obdDito uIc I'LL bDOulud-
ton, because disease is an abomina-
ton, and darkness is conducive to
disease. Let in the sunlight.
A force pump with brass cylinder
and plunger giving twenty-five or
thirty pounds pressure is the best for
spraying Insecticides and fungicides.
The spray should be fine and well dis
tributed
Go through your apple orchard now
and destroy all cocoons before the
warm weather brings the moths out to
destroy your fruit, and thereby you
will find yourself well repaid for the
short time expended.
Put the small fruits in order now
for the growing season. Given in
teliigent attention now and from this
time forward they are much more
likely to prove profitable the present
year and in the future.
Every one who has had much ex-
perience in raising sorghum for feed
ing live stock is ready to admit its
nutritive value, as we'll as the great
yield per acre, which helps to make it
o profitable crop for this purpose.
Barley sown as soon as the ground
is in good working condition is one OF
the best makeshift hog pastures
known. Put it in the press drill, with
a bushel and one peck to the acre; il
sown broadcast, about bushel and o
half.
An eminent agriculturist says thai
there is nothing more certain than that
the productiveness of very many of four
most valuable--is often tremendously
increased by bees in the important
work OF pollenizing the flowers
Changes OF food with fattening stock
should always be made cautiously.
Variety in the ration is desirable, but
it is best to attain this by feeding
mixed rations all the time rather than
by using one material for time and
then changing wholly to another.
One of the easiest ways of propagat-
ing the blackberry is to dig about the
old plants in the spring, cutting off
the outer ends of the roots a few
inches from the plants. Take these
roots and cut into small pieces, four
or five inches long, and plant them.
| Some people do not seem able to
distinguish between growth and fat,
yet there is big difference between
them. Growth must be kept up from
the birth OF animals, while fat should
! only be added during the last month
or six weeks before they are sent to
/! the slaughter house.

precisely as If nothing had happened to
interrupt it.
III were useless to quarrel with our
Richmond contemporary over its dis
like of the symbols of a preserved
union. 1t is old in its faith and it will
not be converted this side of the grave.
Like the Rev. DR.. r. G. Cave. of St.
Louis, who, at the Richmond Memo
rial Day exercises last spring, deified
disunionism as righteous cause sub
dued only by might, and who, at st.
Louis one week ago, repeated the same
thoughts in a new verbal dressing, it
belongs to an expiring generation.
The new life and the new thought of
the new south which has arisen upon
the ruins of slavery and under the
shadow of the Stars and Stripes, will
have larger views upon this subject
and fewer sores to heal.

1t ought not to take much delibera-
tion to convince the Scranton Traction
company that it has everything to lose
and nothing to gain by a refusal to
keep faith with the city in the matter
of suitably graded approach to the
Elmhurst boulevard. The cost of fin
ishing this grading is comparatively
small. The driveway will be one of
the finest in Northeastern Pennsylva-
MIA, and many persons who may feel
too poor to drive upon it will, when it
shall be completed, take the street cars
to Nay Aug falls and make pedestrian
tours beyond,
The completion of the driveway will
further swell the revenues of the Trac-
tion company by the home-builders
that it will inevitably attract to the
wholesome and picturesque building
sites that lie beyond Webster avenue
Scranton is bound to extend its resi-
dence growth in this direction; the
sooner Mulberry street shall be made
presentable the sooner will this growth
materialize. From the standpoint,
therefore, purely of self.interest, the
small expenditure needed to put this
thoroughfare in good condition is a
prudent and profitable investment
for the street railway company to
make.
More important, however, than any
of these considerations is the fact that
the traction company has already
pledged itself to do this thing and can
not arbitrarily break faith without in
curing consequences most undesirable
to itself. Without going into any dis
cussion of the internal workings of
that company, it may be said that
policy of liberality toward its patrons,
such as we believe the present general
manager has been disposed to pursue
to the extent of his ability, is the only
policy which Scrantonians will appre-
ciate. If officials at distance think
otherwise, let them become familiar
with the situation.

The LETTER of George B. Smithing
in last nights Truth condemning the
Printing committee of the Scranton
Board of Trade for going to Delaware
firm of advertising hucksters tog get the
boards annual report printed is timely.
If this course was decided upon be-
cause Of the belief that half-tone print
ing cannot be done in Scranton, the
committee is laboring under false i'm
preston. The member who wanted to
flake" the report through by leaving
off the Wilmington imprint must put
as low an estimate upon the intelli-
gence of Scrantonians as they do upon
him. 1t is a queer turn of affairs if
merchants who are the first to COM
plain when their patrons purchase
goods in New York themselves begin
to violate the motto: "Patronize Home
Industries

and from ph0netics to French. But
we half suspect that he is wholesomely
old fashioned upon this subject, and
would prefer to have q few practical
things well done than to make q mess
of many useful and many useless
things in the impossible attempt to in
clude every known subject Of human
interest in the public school curricu-
lum.
BE this as 1t may, however, we are
in the age of addition and multiplica-
tion; an age where people are not
content to be taxed for the teaching
simply of the elementary branches but
must have the frills and the fol de rol
added thereto, with new fad each
change of the moon. What any per-
son would want or not want in this
matter must yield to the demands of
the masses, and it is perhaps well that
the tendency to increase the duties of
the school room has of late taken q
paternalistic but withal practical turn
in the direction of manual training and
of bread-winning clerical pursuits, in
preference to turn for the useless
niceties.
The surprise which visitors express
because Scranton has done little or
nothing in this direction is natural in
view of the progress 80 common else
where; but we hold 1t to be a point in
Scranton's favor that Individual and
organized philanthropy is here ready
to do Its proper duty in this matter
without foisting it upon the great mass
oftaxpayers. The purposed establish
ment of night industrial classes by the
Young Mems Christian association is
an instance in point. The endow-
ment, here, of an institution similar to
the Drexel institute in Philadelphia,
would be another, and this is not an
impossible expectation. In many
ways our churches and charities are
reaching into this field of industrial
education and accomplishing, each
year, a greater work. We believe this
to be superior method of reaching
the desired end than to add new bur.
dens to the taxpayers through the
overcrowding of our free public schools.
1t comes natural to expect the elective
school directors to doeverything asked
of them; but is not the habit of asking
new things getting pretty large these
days?
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1894-09-20

overcrowding the Common Schools.
The school directors Of Wilkes Barre
have decided to send o committee to
New York, Philadelphia and Toledo,
o., to investigate the system of indus
trial training in use in those schools.
They have also decided to add type
writing and shorthand to the course of
study in the commercial department
of the high school. 1t is evidently the
aim of Superintendent Coughlin to
make the public schools of Wilkes
Barre as practical as possible, so that
the pupils who graduate from these
schools may, If not able to pursue the
higher studies in loftier schools, have
sufficient expertness in everyday bread
winning requirements to be more than
mere ornaments on the surface of So
ciety.
We do not know what Superintend.
ent Coughlin's belief is as to the de.
sirability of expending public revenues
in the attempt to make the free public
schools equal to endowed colleges. We
do not know whether he regards with
favor or disapproval the popular ten
dency to load upon the teachers in our
public schools duties ranging all the
way from clay modelling to calculus
