this he'd is on the surface of the around.
The manure having been prepared in
the usual way. pack it three feet deep,
and two feet wider each side aud two
feet longer each end than the frame.
Set your frame on and bank all around
with the heating material. Put the glass
ON and keep closed until heat ger crates,

AS soon As the seed is in or the plants
are set cover at night with mats and

at this time to prevent frost. Air must
be given during the day and care must
be taken that the heat does rot run up

Rhubarb For EARLY Market.

1.-THE simplest and cheapest way to
force rhubarb without the use of glass
isfto place a few barrels over the plants
in early spring. In some localities the
mere protection from the wind and cold
afforded by box or tub will bring in
the pieplant q week or two earlier. The
heat produced by the fermentation of
fresh manure, stable litter, forest leaves
or other convenient material will still
further hasten the product. Sometimes
few pieces of wood are set close to-
gether under the bottom rim of the bar
rel to serve as lid and to allow the es-
cape of steam which might injure the
young shoots. If it is worth your while
to study the daily changes, you might
use box with movable cover. have
never heard of any other method Of
forcing rhubarb plants in q small way
where they stand" Thus writes con-
tributor to Rural New Yorker. He
adds:
ION large scale some modification Of
the same principle must be used, such
as that suggested for asparagus. The
cultivation of the two crops is the same
in all essentials. The forcing Of either
crop under glass involves all entirely
different principle-viz, the hurrying
out of all the vitality stored up in the
roots, the exhausted clumps being
thrown away. The forcing of plants
where they stand involves the principle
that plants forced in the field must be
allowed every advan tage to recuperate.
These are the only two methods. Other
SO called methods are merely variations
in practice adapted to local conditions. y
