as much oats as will be required for

poured ove 1t. and the whole mass
ts well stirred. The water is left in
the trough about six hours. after
which it Is strained off through a hole
in the bottom Of the trough. The next
day the operation is repeated in the
second trough. and again on the follow.
Ing day the third trough. The oats
thus stepped In hot water gel up fer
mentation and at the expiration of 4S
hours are ready to be given to the
horses and will then. according to Herr

sists of six foot hotbed sash supported
by rafters and a ridge part that con
sists of tapping boards which extend
lengthwise of the house. The upper
boards of this part, in alternate lengths
on each side, are hinged to the ridge
piece, thus affording means Of ventila-
ton without sliding the sash. Entrance
is effected from the end through Il
shed. as shown in Fig. 2. The princi-
pal advantage of such a house is that
the work Of planting, watering, etc.,
can be done ut times when it is too cold
or stormy to open hotbeds as these
are ordinarily made. There are some
gains also in the matter of heat econo-
my as we'll as in that of being able to
replenish any part with fresh manure
in case this is desired for increased
heat.
First, an excavation two feet in
depth and the size of the house was
made. the soil being used in part for
banking against the house for shelter
and to carry away moisture. The sides
consist of two inch scantling boarded
up on the inside and at the top on the
outside. The sash supports, Of two
inch stuff, at one end rest on the outer
walls. while toward the other end they
rest on two plates two and a half feet
apart, which u lengthwise with the
house. These plates are supported by
iron gas pipes at intervals Of eight
feet, the lines Of which also define the
walk and the beds. The height Of the
house at the center is six and q half
feet. The manur spaces are Of the
same extent as the beds proper and
are about three feet deep. In the
boarding up of the manure spaces at
the walk it is arranged to have the
greater part of the board surface NOV
able. being kept in place by the but
tons which are attached to the station
airy boards at the top and bottom.
Aside from the hotbed above de.
scribed the present writer has had
much experience with hotbeds Of the
ordinary form a little later in the sea-
son than when the greenhouse is p
ated. One method employed in ar
ranging his hotbed yard has been so
satisfactory that he heartily recon-
mends it to others. The idea is shown
in Fig. 3. 1t is in the direction Of

except as they slide on the frame, with
a saving both In glass breakage and in

The way Of effecting this is by hav-
ing the hotbeds arranged in double

a space (c) between them equal in
width to a hotbed. This space is de-
signed to accommodate the sash when

losses through ordinary numbering are
considerable in the aggregate. Some
OF the items connected with unneces-
sary waste are as follows:
Where the numbering is done under.
the system Of contracts and subcon-
tracts. the temptation for a jobber to
10 careless work is very great. Unless
carefully watched he is apt to cut un-
necessarily high stumps, to leave large
tops in order to avoid the trouble of
trimming off the branches. to leave
trees lodged in hard woods and other
wise to fall below the standard of good
numbering.
The principal loss arising from care
less numbering is %occasioned by IL
needlessly high stumps, (2) large tops,
60 skids left in the woods, "a valuable
timber used in leveling roads and 81
destruction of small growth in telling.
skidding and hauling.
When the trees are felled by chop-
ping, the stumps are cut at the point ut
which the AK naturally falls when the
chopper stands erect. This is usually
about three inches above the ground.
The majority of trees, however, are
somewhat lower, averaging about 80
inches in height. The sawyers protest
against cutting low stumps, because it
tires their backs to stoop over. Expe-
rience by careful lumbermen has O
ed that such high stumps are entirely
needless.
Where numbering is done under con
tract it has been the usual custom in
the Adirondacks to cut only logs which
will scale six inches at the top end.
Where timber is cut for pulp smaller
logs a be used, and many companies
which operate their WI camps compel
the choppers to cut logs as small as
five and often four inches. The aver
age size Of the top log is nearer eight
inches. There are in some cases 4 to
IL feet Of wood left in tops which is fit
for pulp and which is actually so used
by many companies.
The point will ut once be raised that
the tops are of inferior quality. The
reply is that many companies use this
material and that the total amount Is
SO great that it would pay to utilize it
even at only one-fourth the price of the
rest of the timber.
The majority of sideways are built
Of spruce. 1t is the custom to leave the
skids in the woods, and the owner
loses not only the stumpage value Of
the timber thus wasted. but also the
advantage Of future increment which
the trees would take on If left stand
