A PERFECT HOTBED.

it may be noticed that the pile is heat
ing by seeing the steam rise from it. 1t
it then customary to handle over the
manure, shaking it out and again MAX
ing it into pile and tramping it down
as before. In two or three days the
signs of heating will again be evident,
and it is then ready to be made into O
bed.
The bed should be made large enough
to extend at least foot outside of the
frame at sides and ends. In throwing
the manure into shape, as the pile rises
in height every few inches, it should be
beaten down with the back of the fork
so that the material will be of uniform
density. The bed should be two feet or
two and half feet in depth; the deeper
it is the steadier and longer continued
will be the heat. When the bed is fin
ished evenly on top the frame can be set
ON and covered with the sashes. In a
few days strong heat will rise, and
when this abates somewhat, so that
the thermometer thrust into the ma
nure indicates only IS or 90 degrees, a
a layer of rich mellow soil that has been
previously prepared should be placed in
the frame and spread evenly over the
bed, to depth of about six inches. The
bed is now ready for use, and seed sow
ing in it can commence. In the manage
ment of hotbed constant reference
must be made to shaded thermometer
kept inside, and air must be given suf-
ficiently to keep the temperature down
to about 70 degrees, and there should be
mats provided for sheltering the bed on
cold nights and in severe storms

ASHES IN THE ORCHARD.
Generally Understood by Farm
ers as 1t Should Be.

I do not think we place as high J.
value upon ashes as we should. have
been testing their value as fertilizer,
and am convinced that on many kinds
of soil nothing is as good. Three years
ago plowed up IN old orchard. When
/ seeded it down l spread unslaked
ashes literally under the trees Last
fall when most of my neighbors COM
planned of having no fruit had fairly
good crop. The grass was also heavy
under the trees.
Last spring | put in two acres of
corn with horse planter. The ground
had been quite well fortified with barn
yard manure. When planted l put
ashes into the fertilizer box and let il
for 400 pounds of phosphate. l had u
splendid crop of corn.
A friend told me yesterday that ne
tried an experiment in fertilizers last
year. On one strip he sowed ashes
broadcast on meadow land. On a strip
alongside he put on top dressing Of
lime, and on still another broad band
of phosphate was used. This rotation
was kept up right along until he had
covered five acres. The result was very
favorable for the ashes. 1t was easy to
sec just where the ashes left off every
lime, and on still another good brand
blowing under rye and using ashes lib
orally. He keeps little stock and sells
his hay. Having followed this plan for
a good many years he is sure that he
makes more money than by keeping
stock and still keeps up the fertility of
lis soil.
A number of years ago l used to mix
ashes with hen manure for corn; but q
little reflection taught me that this was
poor policy. There is no doubt that the
two will not mix without loss. The
chemical union weakens the strength
of the combination.-E. l.. Vincent, in
National Stockman.

When DR.. Aver announced his Sarsapa-
rilla to the world, he at once found the
physicians his friends. Such a remedy
was what they had looked for. and they
were prompt to appreciate its merits and
prescribe it. Perhaps no medicine-known
as a patent medicine-is so generally ad-
ministered and prescribed by physicians as
DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla for blood diseases,
and diseases of the skin that indicate a
tainted condition of the blood. Experience
has proved it to be specific in such
diseases, and sores of long standing, old
ulcers, chronic rheumatism, and many
other like forms of disease have yielded to
the persevering use of DR.. Ayers Sarsapar-
lila after other medicines had utterly failed.

THE FARMING WORLD.
IMPROVING QUALITY.
Why Farm Butter Should he Made
with the Same Care as the Best
Creamery Product.

One of the problems of particular inn
portance to the dairy interests is that of
improving the quality of butter made
on a great many farms. Large quanti-
ties are made in this way and great
portion of it is of quite inferior quality.
1t is not remunerative to those who
produce it, says the Indiana Farmer,
and it adversely affects the general
market for good butter, because it is
transformed into ladies' and process
butter" which enter into competition
with genuine butter, with much the
same results as follow oleomargarine
competition. A good deal of the butter
that is made might just as well, from
the standpoint of the maker, of the in
dustry and of the consumer, not be
made at all, since it does not pay any of
in quality it would add largely to the
value of the dairy product of the coun-
try and would help its makers to earn a
living. Perhaps the most serious OBJ
stacle to improving the lower grade of
dairy butter is the fact that the butter
In rural districts that is made on the
farm is SO largely sold at groceries and
general stores. The buyer is princi-
pally engaged in selling goods. He
must hold his trade and he purchases
farm butter as a mere incident to his
business. He does not, and dare not,
conduct this branch of it on its merits.
He is glad enough to buy good farm
butter if it comes to the store, and he
will set it aside for his own use or for
the use of good customers, but when
the maker of poor butter brings in a
batch, he is afraid to refuse it or to
pay less for it than he did for the good
butter. He knows that he would lose
the trade of the maker if he did. One
farmers wife will make good butter,
but what inducement has she to try to
do still better when her neighbor, who
makes poor butter, gets as much a
pound for it as she does, or what motive
has the maker of the poor butter to
make it better when she gets just as
much for it as is paid for the better
butter made in the neighborhood :?
Human nature is so constituted that
the doctrine of rewards and punish
ment cuts large figure with it. On
the average it does not take extra
trouble and pains unless it sees CORE
spending rewards for doing so. The
quality of large mass of farm butter
would be very much improved if some
way could be devised whereby every
pound that is made were sold upon its
actual merits, the good butter-maker
receiving good price and the maker of
grease a grease price.
