The frames for hotbeds are usually
put in order in the fall before the
ground freezes, and are covered with
leaves or other litter deeply enough to
prevent freezing. Whenever they are
wanted the pit is dug out in sections
about six at a time, throwing back
the surface loan to the-depth Of six
inches upon the section already filed
with manure, and then carting away
whatever more is needed in order to
make the pit of the required depth.
The advantages In building beds in
this manner over the method of build
ing them above ground are that the
manure in a pit will retain its heat bet
ter than when exposed to the wind, and
the bed will need far less watering.
Hotbeds thus constructed are used for
forcing winter crops of lettuce and rad.
ishes, and for starting seeds Of toma-
toes. cabbage. lettuce, peppers. cucum-
bers and onions for transplanting to
the open field in April and May. In

Orchards an Attraction


An orchard is a necessity on a farm.
A farm with an orchard will sell at a
fair price, when farms with no
orchards are sacrificed. The buyer al
ways looks for the greatest number of
advantages, and If apples, peaches,
pears, plutns, and the small fruits can
be found, instead Of only an apple
orchard, the value of the farm will be
increased much more than the original
cost Of the orchard. If the farm Is
not for sale, the orchard will be a
source of profit to the farmer.
New Food For Livestock In Germany.
During the past few years expert.
ments have been made in the city Of
Strassburg, Alsace, Germany, with a
new food for horses and cattle, called
"Blut-Kraftfutter" (blood-strength fod-
DER, consisting of steam-dried, steril-
lied blood prepared under the control
OF a municipal veterinary surgeon),
chaf or the hulls Of grain finely
ground, the husks Of peanut kernels
and also the inner lining or skin Of
peanut shells, and molasses; a per
cent. Of phosphates is also added to the
preparation. These ingredients are
thoroughly mixed and dried, and a
certain portion of molasses (which has
been heated to make it more liquid
Is added. After this has been well
mixed and dried, another portion Of
molasses Is offered, and after the final
mixing and drying the preparation is
ready for the market, and is sold in
bags of seventy-five Kilograms GIGS
pounds), at a cost of 11.5O marks ($2.75)
per bag retail. The dried blood meal,
1t Is claimed, contains on an average
twenty to twenty-five per cent. Of pro-
tein and fat, while oats, according to
the tabulated statement Of Wolff, con-
tain on an average only 1872 per cent.
OF protein and fat. The assurance Is
given that this preparation can be pre-
served for any length Of time, and that
it will not deteriorate with age. As re-
CARDS the method Of feeding, it is adj
visable to start on one-half pound per
day, thoroughly mixing it with the
usual food, and to increase this portion
daily until five or six pounds are used
per day, diminishing the quantity Of
the usual food accordingly. For mich
cows, three pounds per day can be
used; for fattening cattle, seven pounds
per head per day. and for sheep and
swine, three-fourths Of a pound per
day per 100 pounds of living weight.
Some horses have been given two
thirds of their daily fodder in blood
meal, but it is recommended that the
quantity fed should not exceed one-
half of the daily allowance Of food

unanimously passed. A committee on the
constitution was appointed as follows:
Miss Calhoun. Miss Gathman. Miss viii
kins, Miss Emmons. Mr.. North. Mr. Ev-
ans and DIT. Hunt. 1t was then decided
that a meeting be called for Saturday
