The teachers in the kindergartens find
d perpetual fund of amusement in the
funny little people committed to their

shrill voice and uses 1t on every possible
occasion. She had been teaching the class

Making a Hot bed.

| Every farmer should have at leas
haifa dozen sash to furnish supply
Of early vegetables for his family
There is yet time TO grow plants AM
April is the best time for the novice t.
begin hct-bed management
| First, provide fresh horse manure
ard add TO this if they can be had
one-third to one-half of its bulk OF
leaves. Mix thoroughly, tramping the
mass in successive layers, and form in
to a large pile, so that fermentation
will proceed, even in cold weather. In
two or three days fermentation will be
apparent by the escape of steam. Turn
again, and allow the heap to remain
two or three days longer, or until the
second fermentation commences. Make
an excavation or pit 21a feet deep, and
of size suited to the number of plants
required. 1t should be made in some
dry sheltered spot, facing the south or
east. If possible.
Hot-bed sashes are usually 6x3 feet
and one sash will generally give early
plants enough of a kind for a large
family. The frame for sashes should
be 10 inches high at the back and ~
inches in front. which viii give the
proper slope to catch the sunlight.
Crosspieces should be placed for the
sashes to slide on. TO facilitate opening
and shutting the frames. When every
thing is ready, the manure is placed in
the pit and trodden firmly in layers to
the required depth. two to two and one
half feet Then put on the sashes, and
keep the pit closed until the heat rises.
AT first ii will probably be 100 degrees
or more. which is too hot to SOW the
seed N; but in two or three days it Will
subside TO 30 degrees or a little less,
when the soil may be put on to the
depth of six or eight inches. The heat
may be readily ascertained by plung-
rg thermometer in the manure.
The soil should be of well rotted sod
Cor common garden soil will do, mixed
with about a third Of fine. old manure.
and in this the seeds may be sown
thinly in drills two or three inches
apart. and afterwards tas soon as out
of the seed-leaD either thinned out or
else transplanted to another frame. Air
must be given every mild day by rails
ing the sashes al the back. Water
with tepid water whenever necessary.
ard during cold nights keep covered
with straw mats or board shutters.
Tomatoes. peppers and egg-plants
should be sown in a separate frame
from the cabbage. caulifiower and let
tuce. as they require more heat than
the latter. The same directions may
apply to hot-beds made on the surface
of the ground except that the manure
should be at least foot wider on all
sides than the frame.-N. F.. Farmer.

Through misinformation the repori
in the Journal. Wednesday, that the
directors of the Maine Sportsman
Fish and Game Association had met
and decided to expend at Monmouth
for park purposes at that hatchery, c
larger part of the available funds, was
incorrect. There was no meeting ~
the directors. 1t was suggested by
some of the officers that the lanc
owned, amounting to about 40 acres, b.
fenced and used as a park for large
game That question has not been be
fore the directors. The association
would no doubt. it is understood, aio
in the maintaining of park and tn
putting of game in it. if the citizen
desired it and would take steps L
secure a park fence, so that the lane
could be available. 1t would be very
acceptable to the town of Monmouth
if it could secure a game park.
