HOW TO MAKE A HOT BED.

HOW To MAKE A HOT BED.
Where the farmer or gardener Is too
far removed from business centers TO buy
plants cheaply of the seedsmen, a hot.
bed will be found convenient for starting
many kinds of plants. The first step te
be taken is getting ready the manure
with which to supply the required bot
tom heat. Fresh horse manure mixed
thoroughly with one-third to one-half its
bulk Of leaves, or straw used for bed
ding, or other manure that has been
heated once, are the materials preferred.
As soon as this compost begins to. fer
ment turn it again and let remain until
signs appear of a second fermentation.
Make an excavation about two and
one-half feet deep and OF q size to suit
the sash on hand or number Of plants re-
9uiIed. Locate this pit in a dry spot,
facing south Or east. One sash will gen.
orally give early plants enough for a
large family. The frame for the sash or
sashes may be made of boards nailed to
small posts at the corners. This frame
ought to be about eighteen inches high
at the back and twelve inches in front,
to give the proper slope to catch the.
sunlight. To facilitate the opening and
shutting Of the frame. cross-picces should
be plaaed for the sash to slide on.
When all Is ready tread the manure
down firmly in the pit, to the depth Of
two and a half feet; put or the sash and
keep the pit closed until the heat rises.
In two or three days spread on top soil
to a depth Of six or eight inches. In
this seed may be sowp in drills. two OF
three inches apart, for early tomatoes,
eggplant, cabbage, %cauliaower, lettuce,
pepper, etc.-New York World.

Cnltiratlnr the Appetlts.

Altogether too much time and talk arr
expended on what we shall cat and what
We shall drink. Dainty dishes are all
very well in their way, but In many
families their preparation seems to be tho
chief end aud aim OF existence No
sooner 10 one meal cleared away, than
plans are laid for something new aud ap-
petizing for another.
What to eat forms the subject of con-
versation IN little gatherings of all sorts.
OF course, cooking schools and the gen.
eral interest in culinary matters have
something to do with this, but the sub
iect, like all others, is in very great
danger Of being overdone. Especially
is this the case where there are young
and growing children. They gather
from all that ia going on about them
that eating seems to be the principal in
forest Of the family aud friends, aud it
Is not difficult to see to what this will
lead. The little appetltes are pampered,
and the minds are filled with f~astidious
notions about dishes and the way to
serve them.
Too much importance cannot be at
tached to good, plain cooking aud the
proper preparation Of food, but eating
should not a. any time form the princi'
pal subject of conversation. 1t is moi
considered good form to talk about ones
food while at table; there are topics oil
conversation much mora desirable, and
somc pains should be taken to Introduce
some agreeable and interesting subject
ut the outset of tho meal. Do some
thing, do anything to avoid tho unceas'
ing TRADE about what to cat and how to
prepare 1t. That sort of thing is wei
enough in its place, but is by no mean!
a proper subject for general discussion

1t is q good thing in the cultivation O.
garden not to grow the same vegetable,
or plants year after year on the same spot,
nor even two years in succession on the
same. 1t is liable to generate diseas,
and to exhaust that portion of the soil in
which the plant feeds or to remove thu
peculiar elements which it needs. Roots,
deep-feeding and shallow W. feeding plants
should succeed each other. A strict
system OF rotation is always safest.

SIZE AND WEIGHT OF JACKS.

Jacks vary in size and weight con-
siderably. A medium size is Ii hands,
AMI 500 pounds; the largest are 16 hands
aud upward, and 1900 to 1900 pounds.
A jack recently sold in Kentucky for
$1,000, was 16f hands, and weighed 1880
pounds. The measurements Of this ami.
NAL were: 1911 inches from the nose to
the root OF tail, 33i inches from tip to
tip of ears, head 30 inches. girth Sc,
knee to ankle IL, around arms 26i, and
around stife SO inches. This is not so
large as n sold previously for $3.50.
The American jacks surpass those of any
other country in all respects, but the
French and Spanish blood has been used
literally in their improvement. The
best of these animals are reared in Ken.

Wolves In Russia.

Wolves arespecially active this winter.
Even In France accidents have been re.
ported, aud Government has thought it
necessary to urge the Louvetiers to exert
themselves. Dreadful stories have
reached US from the plains of Eastern
Europe, where the inhabitants are used
to reckon wolves as an abiding peril OF
the winter season, and take no great &C.
count Of the victims whose lives are lost
in the accustomed manner. But it il
many years since a town-even as
''towns" go in Russia-was actually be-
sieged by these animals. Such, we are
told, Is the iaLe OF Tikhvin, In the Pro-
vince OF Novgorod. They quarter ita
neighborhood in large packs, aud make
forays into the streets, Selling any living
thing they can catch. The women
stay indoors, and the men only go out
armed to the teeth. This tale Is not to
be dismissed as a mere fable. 1t may
probably be exaggerated by legendary
incidents handed DOWN from the time
when there vas no safety outside the
towns. The Governor 10 said to have
despatched a battalion of infantry, a sot-
MIA OF Cossacks, and three hundred Chas.
seurs to make war upon the enemy. Such
a force may protect Tikhvin, but it i,
not be hoped that the wolves will suffer
much. They will be driven of to prey
upon the country districts. Those who
know nothing Of the matter are apt tC
regard it as another evidence of barbsr-
ism that these creatures should DO al.
lowed to flourish. Why does not the
Government or the people exterminate
themG The answer is that It cannot b.
done, even in France, though they NIGH
be reduced to a trifing number there il
the Louyetiers were In earnest. But
wolves are migratory. Many of thost
which are beleagueIIug Tikhvin may
have Travelled from Siberian wastes

Kindly tell a little stranger
Who has oddly lost her way,
Where's the road that she must travel
To return to Yesterday
For, you see, she's unfamiliar
With To-day, and cannot real
What its strange, mysterious sign.posS
Tell Of ways and where they lead.
And her heart upbralds her soEe'y.
Though she did not mean to stray
When she fell asleep last evening
And abandoned Yesterday.
For she left a deal neglected
That she really should have done:
And she fears she's lost some favors
That she fairly migdt have
Go she'd like to turn her backward
To retrieve them If sls may
Wll not some n kindly tell her

Parental Inf uencc.

As a general rule a child's taste. opin.

even its permanent destiny, are practic-
ally shaped before the child is seven oil
eight years OF age. The failure of the
parents rightly to instruct and train 1t in
those early years, both by teaching and
example, by constant watchfulness and
loving care, can never be made good by
a lifetime OF devctcdness in later years.
