The Hotbed Feeders.

Cold frames are chiefly of use as hot
bed feeders, or for giving plants slight
start in spring. They must be pre-
pared in August ready for early fall
sowing. The seedlings are hardened
off and held until transplanted to
hotbeds or to the open ground. Such
nearly hardy plants as corn salad and
lettuce may be raised in cold frames
in the fall and early winter by pro.
tecting them slightly on frosty
nights.
Frames designed for vegetables
may be brought into further utility,
where the owner is so inclined, by
putting in q few easily forced flowers,
such rs violets, pansies, bulbs, etc.
AS to the making of the frames, it
is an easy matter. The chief require
ments are shelter, drainage. light and
proper ventilation, and, in botbeds,
regulated temperature. A spot shell
tered on the north and west, free to
the sun, is considered ideal. If there
is danger of rains washing in, the bed
level must be raised, and earth and
coarse litter banked around it. The
back, which will be towards the north
west, should be higher than the front,
the slope permitting The water to
shed from the glass. The top is OF
glass, fit in sash about four feet wide
by six long, made to slide back or
raise, by which means the beds are
ventilated.
The bed for cold frame should be
finely pulrerized loan, obtained from
the surface OF some land that has been
standing at least two or three years;
or any good. light soil with which may
be we'll mixed some well-rotted horse
manure-a desirable addition in either
case. The bed should be from Is
inches to two feet in depth, and be
closely placed in the frame. American

"personnlly Conducted" PUPILS.

In the kindergarten child is taught
much through system which is used
to make him think that he is playing
rather than working, bu, .los imagin-
ary devices take away the manliness
of boy who knows that work is work.
We must not teach the boy that his
teacher exists simply for his amuse-
ment. There is q great tendency to
bring mp children "along the lines of
least resistance. What we really
want is men of character, not those
who from childhood up have been
personally conducted" The new
education deserves all gratitude for
taking the place of wooden" teach
ing and wooden" learning, but am
afraid that the question of where the
new should stop and the old begin is
often lost sight OF. address of Dean

increasing Growth of Fruit Trees.

Barnyard manure increases the
wood growth of nearly all fruit trees,
while potash tends to increase the fruit
growth and flavor as well. Without a
new growth Of wood every year the
prospect of getting q crop Of fruit
would be greatly reduced. All this
shows that In order to get the best
fruit we should look out for the inter-
ests of the tree by applying the proper
amount Of barnyard manure and to
look out for the quality Of the fruit
as we'll by supplying the correct
amount of potash to the soil.

Soil and Grnss.

There are soils in most Of our states
that are not deep enough for cultiva-
tion, but answerfor grass, and by o
little nursing will furnish o great
deal of pasture from year to year. At
all times, except in the drouthy sea-
son, grass grows we'll on such soils,
and with occasional seeding and top
dressing, may ,bo made profitable.
Such soils are usually more generally
found on the hills than elsewhere. but
are frequently on level lands. Grass
will make luxurious growth uponEa
soil that is not more than two inches
deep, if it has enough water, and it
will have plenty of water during the
first part of the season. In the cities
it is sometimes the practice to remove
aud sell the rich soil from lawns, re-
placing it with sand, which is covered
with two or three inches of good soil.
Under the constant application OF
water, which is possible in city,
these lawns keep in green, healthy
condition all summer.
1t will readily be seen, however,
that if this thin layer OF soil was
turned under and the sand was brought
to the top the lawn would be ruined.
But that is precisely what is done on
some farms with similar soil; and when
it is done the land is practically
ruined. OF course it Gun he brought
mp, any soil Gun be, but soils are often
80 naturally poor that it costs more
than they are worth to do it. Some
farmers seem to have violent preju-
dice against grass. The sooner they
can get it turned under the better
they like it. It would appear as,if they
begrudged the grass its footing. But
the farmer who has natural pasture,
wutered by springs on his own land,
rs such pastures often are, is exceed
ingly fortunate, especially if he has
enough tillable land. Such land costs
but little. In buying farm, the hill
side pasture land is pretty nearly
"thrown into the bargain" I am ac-
quainted with farm that has perhaps
100 acres of tillable land and 200 OF
iust such pasture land rs I have been
describing, and the owner makes more
profit from the pasture, through his
dairy and stock, than he does from bis
cultivated area. Grass is king in this
country, and the king often sits on
what the casual observer would cnll
barren hills. It makes no difference
where it grows, if it is blue grass, and
that is the grass that will be found in
such pastures, to very large extent,
it is jewel Of possession. -Agrt

THE WORKING MAN.

he lays his hand upon the stubborn soil,
And 10! mighty miracle Is done;
1t glows, responsive to his touch OF toll,
Fruitful and fair beneath the golden sun.
At his behest the prairie is transformers;
He digs the desert and 1t disappears;
Before his plow the wilderness Is stormed,
And leagues Of corn lift up their splendid
spears.
Amid his sheaves he stands happy man.
Nor socks to solve the things beyond his
ken;
Content with the All-wlse Eternal plan
OF Him who shapes the destinics OF men.
The sky that bends above him shows no
At noon; and yet he knows the Power
Divine
That shaped the Pleiades and fashioned
Mars
In their appointed time will bid them
shine.
His hearthstone is the altar, he the priest
OF homes sweet sanctuary, day by day,
In JOY or sorrow, indigence or feast,
Where love unsullied keeps its gently
sway.
No narrowing envy occupies his breast,
BY .Heaven-sent peace his simple life Is hlest,
And in his tasks he blesseS all mankind.
His labor brings the harvest to the plain,
And through his brave exertions millions
live;
He works the miracle that grows the grain
And all the crops that pregnant acres
give.
To him the crowded city looks for food;
From him gaunt famine fees and squalor
hides;
His energies sustain the multitude
And where his blessings fall pale want
subsidies.
For him the sun and stars give forth their
light;
For him the restless ocean Gibbs and flows;
For him the radiant day, the peaceful night
And all things beautiful their charms dis
close.
He builds the mighty ship whose progress
spurns
The roaring tempest on the trackless sea;
His strenuous life the wheels OF commerce
turns
And cleaves wider space for Liberty.
