struction of such hotbed is the subject
Of an illustrated description by Charles
A. Long, i'll American Gardening:
The location should be one that will
admit Of drainage from the excavation
that is made to hold the manure. To
have a bed that acts as q catch basin
for water in case of a heavy thaw or a
rainfall is too risky. If the bed be also
sheltered by an evergreen or other wind
break, it means much in retention of
heat. First provide sufficient space for
the heating material Referring to the
cut, b shows hOtbed feet wide, and the
space around should not be less than
feet, and in the north even feet
would be no mistake; in depth, 2 feet
below the surface is about right. This
calls for large stock Of manure, but
the manure not only gives a complete
and paying bed, but it is afterward on
hand for enriching the garden.
The foundation is a matter of impor-
tance, that the bed may retain an exact
position without reference to the set
Ting of the manure. In the case illus
tratcd the foundation consists of oak
stakes 81 feet in length, driven into
the ground to a depth Of about 2 feet.
For four sash bed use IL stakes ca in
the sketch). These ere driven home and
capped by plank ripped into three
;pivors, ; Or 6 inches wide and as long
as the bed is to be- The frame is set
upon these planks as shown; Within
this frame is a bottom made of / inch
rough boards which rest on the strips,
and on this is placed the soil. Thus is
the bed firm and will last for at least
ten years. To prevent heaving Of the
stakes previous to making up time in
winter, some manure may be piled
around the base of each.
In making the bed, remove the sash
and the board bottom, then fill in the
manure evenly over the entire eXcava-
ton c, tramping it uniformly and firm
ly. Under the frame itself the manure
is to be brought up to the top of the
strips that rest on the stakes Indeed it
may be brought several inches higher,
counting on the boards and the soil to
press it down to its proper place. Out
side the frame the manure is to be piled
to make a slope from the sash to the
ground level. The slope of the hotbed
itself should always be toward the south
that is, the sash exposed to the sun.
In order to preserve as much heat as
possible no better means can be employ
ed than shutters covering the manure as
shown i'll the engraving. These are
made Of three-fourths inch stuff secured
with clinch nails to cross Stats. They
should be made Of size convenient to
handle. If, after the heat be somewhat
spent any difficulty be found III keeping
up the temperature desired, the shutters
may be removed, some of the lining
thrown out and fresh manure put in its
place.
Protection against cold must be given
in the shape of sash covers. Straw mats
are much used, but best gardeners prefer
wooden shutters. The main reliance as
heating material for hOtbed is strawy
horse manure or mixture of this and
other fresh manure. Forest leaves are
excellent to mix with the manure, as
they decay slowly, tending to prolong
fermentation and also to make the heat
ing more uniform.

One Fire Warden Goes.

The fire commissioners held
a lively session Saturday and
as result Of their deliberations
Fire Warden Ramsbury will
look for another job. The COM
missioners were pretty bitter
over the alleged interference of
the council in the management
of their department and in par
ticular 1.-The charge that the
board had not lived up to it's
agreement with the counci1*in
the matter of retrenchment was
vigorously repudiated.
It was claimed that there
was prospective reduction of
from 10 to 25 per cent in insur-
ance sales, and that any furth-
er crippling of the department
in an effort at economy would
surely prevent the making of
the reduction.

The social democracy is not

has been negotiating with the
proper authorities at Nashville,
Tenn, for the construction for
that city of a 100000 railroad
on the plan that Improvements
should be made to pay for
their own building and owned
by the people. He proposes,
or at least the organization of
which he is head does, to build
the road and turn over the pos
session of it to the city of
Nashville in consideration for
raising the money to. build it..
He promises to hire all tie un-
employed men who are strand
ed in that city after the close of
the centennial exposition. The
people of Nashville, it is said,
will Ell rage the city govern
ment to make the experiment.

An Apology.

To the Editor OF The Labor World:
DULUTH, MINI, Oct. 5, 1897.-A few
days since your paper published COM
munication from me that seems to have
offended some of my fellow-c citizens, and
being of sensitive nature, and opposed
to offending any one, I will make an
apology by saying that did not mean
that everyone that used the streets
should pay the street car company for
doing SO, particularly on the streets
where they have no tracks laid, for as
have been told, since writing the letter
referred to, "vested rights" means being
in possession of something that belongs
to the people; and then again when peo.
pie are going down town to pay their
water and light bills or even going up to
the courthouse to pay their taxes, and
the street cars are so crowded they can
not get standing room, they should not
be obliged to pay for walking or driving;
and, furthermore, I do not think that
Henry and his relatives should be made
to pay the street-car or bridge company
for any service, as I understand they
have done good deal for both compan-
ies-of course, I presume, it was at the
expense of the city, but what of that?
Henry is good deal larger man than
Mckinley, and he gets $4,000 a year
from the government, while Henry and
his relatives only get about one. tenth of
that sum from the City of Duluth as
straight salaries. I don't include the ex-
tras, as I am not supposed to know how
much the perquisites and rake-offs
amount to, say nothing about the gold
stars that some of them wear.
Yours truly,
J.J. HIBBARD.

The Tramp.

No one hates a tramp worse
than we do; no one will dc
more, according to his ability
than we to rid the country Of
them; but no one realizes more
than we that it cannot be doue
by dealing blows at the tramps
themselves. We must remove
the cause by giving all men a
chance to earn a living, by re-
storing to them the God-given
right to apply their labor to
natures opportunities. But SO
long as the present conditions
exist, let norman turn from his
door human being whose
only crime, 50 f:aaf as we know
is that he is ::hungry. It won't
hurt you to give him a piece of
bread. You may be "entertain-
ing an angel unawares. !"
Chance it., anyway. You will
not miss it. When you look at
one of these unfortunate BROTH
ers (for brothers they are, how
ever much we may like to dis
own them), don't forget that he
was born; he once had a moth
er, just as you had; he was
once little boy, just as you
were; he was possibly the pet
of a kind father, just as you
were; he fell a victim to cir
cumstances, either of his own
making or those over which he
had no control; in either case
he was unfortunate. He may
have weird, sorrowful tale to
tell, and he may be telling the
truth. For aught that you may
know, he may have a wife and
little children of his own; it
may be that in some distant
state are those whose hearts
yearn for him, and who, with
loving eyes, may be vainly and
anxiously awaiting his hc.sne
coming. Think of all these
things before you turn him
from your door. If he is an
inposter, you have only lost a
piece of bread at most. We
say again, chance it anyway

S0CIALISTIC COUNCIL
-sJS
City Fathers Resolve to Oper-
ate the Prescott
Iron works..
Fire Department Mattresses.
No Money For Armor
Plate Commission.

The council meeting Monday night
was tame, nevertheless some important
matters were considered. The princi-
pal feature was the discussion over the
completion of the contract for building
the engines and boilers for the pump
house. A resolution was introduced
providing that the city should take
charge of the works of the D. Clint
Prescott company and operate it until
the pumping machinery has been COM
pleted. The resolution also provides
for 10 days notice to the Prescott com
papy and it's sureties, the Duluth Trust
company. ~:
| Alderman Harker wanted to advertise
for bids and relet the unfinished partot
the contract. At the instance of Alder
man Sang, Mr.. Hugo was called for and
it was explained by him that Mr.. Har-
ker's proposition would be cumbersome
and unsatisfactory in its results. In an
swer to questions from vario US aldermen
he said that the company's present en-
barassment was due to delay and that
for such delay the city was responsible
City Attorney Richards explained that
the contract provided for the operation
of the plant by the city in case of such
an emergency as this. Mr.. Hugo furth-
or explained that one engine is ready to
be set up aud the pumps and boilers
ready to be taken to Lakeview; No. 2
engine is almost completed and the rest
OF the machinery in various stages of
construction. There is balance of
$4,000 due from the city on the con-
tract and he thought that Mr.. Prescott,
if offered $4,000, could quickly finish
the entire job. A couple of minor
amendments were adopted, one of which
reserves to the council the right to
change it's mind, and the resolution was
adopted without dissent.
A communication from .. L. Young
informed the council that many Of the
bonds for liquor licenses accepted were
practically worthless, and the ordinances
governing their bonds were habitually
violated.
The proposition to appropriate s25 for
the entertainment Of the armor plate
plant came up again but was turned
down.
The ordinance granting franchise to
the Northern Electric Subway company
was passed. One mile of the subway
must be in operation within six months
from April, 1898.
Bayha & Go. gave notice that unless
two bills, for mattresses supplied to the
fire department., were paid, suit would
be instituted to recover the amounts
The board Of public works reported "a
vorably request from D. A. Reed for
the payment of his salary for the months
OF May and June, amounting to $181.75.
A number of small estimates were al
lowed in connection with the water
works construction and various claims
for damages were received and referred
The session closed with a kick from
Alderman Jefferson about the failure of
the light ard water committee to re-
port on what electric lights could be dis
pensed with. The result was the ad-
dition of the dissatisfied alderman to the
committee.

SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING.

At the special meeting of the council
held last Friday the tax levy for the en-
suing year was productive of consider
able discussion and resulted in net re-
duction of S14,857.O1 in the total levy.
OF this sum S11. .42847 came out of the
fire department fund and S3,428.4 out
of the park fund. The salaries of the
members of the fire department we're
ordered paid, including the salaries of
the chief and others which an effort had
been made to hold up, and the move
ment to widen the rock cut on the
Engle & Osman contract was defeated.
