Condition Of tie Crops.

The Weather Bureaus general sum-
mary of the crop conditions for February
are as follows:
"With excessive precipitation and 10
average temperature in the Southern
States, the month has not been favorable
for farming operations in that section,
but with lighter precipitation and only
slightly deficient temperature, the Ohio
and Upper Mississippi valleys experience
ed more favorable conditions. In Cali
forna the first part of the month was
abnormally cold, bat the later part was
more favorable.
winter wheat was we'll protected with
SHOW covering during the severe weather
from the 10th to the 10Th, and the reports
at the close of the month indicate that the
crop is in very satisfactory condition.
In portions of Missouri, Illinois, Indiana,
and Kentucky, however, the crop has
sustained some injury from alternate
freezing and thawing, while lowlands
have suffered to some extent from over
flows in the Lower Ohio Valley

How to Make HOt-BedS.

There is no mystery about a hot-bed
yet farmers and many others do without
this convenience from some supposed
difficulty in making and caring for it
Sashes, few boards and some horse
manure are the materials required. Regu-
lar hot bed sashes are 3x6 feet, and may
be bought ready glazed at the sash and
blind factories; old window sashes will
answer as make shift, but are far less
convenient. Select place sheltered by
building or fence from cold winds; dig
a pit .! feet deep, as wide as the sashes
are long, and as long as the number Of
sashes to be used required. Line this pit
with rough boards nailed to posts driven
down at the corners. The rear board
should extend foot above the surface,
and the front one four inches above The
front or lower side should face the South
Nail strips from trout to rear for the
sashcs to slide upon.
