Ventilation for Hoth.d.

Lack OF ventilation and keeping the
hotbed too warm is much more often
the cause Of plants dying off than is
frost. Except in the very coldest
weather, sash should be raised a Dor.
ton OF the day to give the plants air.
This will make them hardy and fit to
grow when set in the open air. By
contining the plants too closely they
are made tall and spindling, thus de-
stroying their valuesfor future growth

TOPICS FOR FARMERS

The Action of Frost Fayors Plant
Growth-How to Select Eggs for

Fodder in Full Length.
The Action of Frost.


The principle on which the frost acts
fayorably in improving tilth is in the
rupturing of the soil particles by ex-
panSion. The action of the frost causes
to expand the soil particles and the
water with which the earth may be
charged. The result is that the soil
particles are broken and separated in
somewhat the same manner as bottle
or jug in which water has frozen is
broken. The further result is that in
proportion as fineDess of soil Is more
favorable to seed and plant growth. so
the more completely the soil is divided
by repeated freeZings and thawings dur
ing the time between crops, the better
for the coming crop.
1t is noted in this connection that one
need not, as in spring tillage, wait until
the soil is quite dry before spading, for
it is an advantage rather than other
wise to work it so wet that it leaves the
spade in unbroken clods; the more in
terstices in the mass after it is thrown
over the better. The difference in the
following spring and summer between
soil that has been fall-worked as out
lined and that which has remained un-
touched until spring, is most marked.
Beds that were thus thrown up roughly
in the fall come out in the following
spring a mass of earth as fine as an ash
heap. To overlook the gain that comes
from killing the larvae of various de-
structive insects by turning up the soil
before winter would be mistake. 1t is
known by many actual tests that they
die in large numbers by winter freezing.

A Duel In n Dark Room Both Men
Proved Cowards.
1t has been said that all men are
towards in the dark, and there is
doubtless some truth in the statement.
A correspondent of the st. Louis Globe
Democrat cites an instance in illustra-
ton. Two officers of the British army
in India had q difficulty which resulted
in duel.
The colonel, the challenged party,
was an old campaigner who had won
his laurels in the Crimea and was most
gallant soldier. The choice of weapons
being his, he named pistols, and elected
that the affair should occur in n dark
room.
We secured room 20 feet square,
says the narrator of the incident,
closed every crevice that would admit
light, placed our men in corners di-
agonally opposite, and withdrew.
Each man was provided with three
charges, and when these were exhaust
ed we rushed in TO gather up the mutt
lated remains.
Each man stood erect and soldierlike
in his corner, untouched; but directly
behind the officer who had given the
challenge were three bullet holes made
by the colonel's pistol.
"How is this?" said gr:zzled major.
Had you been standing here when
those shots were fired, you would have
been killed"
The culprit was forced to admit that
he had dropped TO one knee.
lyon ore a coward, sir, and unfit for
