not less than eight horses are kept,
well fed with grain. The manure
should be piled up near the bed I'M
til enough is ready. 1t will need
cord of manure for each ten or IS
sashes. If not needed Immediately,
1t should be pitched over frequently,
to prevent burning. When ready the
manure should be forked into the
bed. not dumped, and we'll trodden
down as it is placed in the pit, until
the required amount is in place. Then
1t should be Immediately covered
with the loan and the sashes placed
on the frame, and over them the
mats, if the weather is cold.
In about two days after being made
up the bed will attain its greatest
degree of heat if everything works
well, perhaps 90 to rs degrees. After
this, the heat will gradually decline,
and after four weeks will usually be
about so to 60 degrees. The deeper
the manure is packed in the bed the
higher will be the heat and the long
er will it be retained. When beds are
started in January and February. it
is needful to make them considerably
deeper than in March and April. In
deed, after April Is heat is hardly
needed at all except for cucumbers.
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 sec
tions about six feet a time, throw
irg back the surface loan to the
depth of six inches upon the section
already filed with manure, and then
carting away whatever more is need
ed in order to make the pit of the
required depth.
The advantages in building beds In
tlia manner over the method of
building them above ground are that
the manure in pit will retain it's
heat better than when exposed to the
wind, and the bed will need far less wa
tering. Hotbeds thus cons tructed are
used for forcing winter crops of let.
tuce and radishes. and for starting
seeds of tomatoes, cabbage. lettuce,
peppers, cucumbers and onions for
transplanting to the open field in
April and May. In the accompanying
illustration Il represents the sash, b

and G the fence at the back.-Orange

WHERE THE MONEY GOES.
Congress Justified by the
Country's Needs.

A few years ago-it seems but yes
terday-the appropriation of a re-
publican congress aggregated about
s1,0oo,G00,000. The democratic party
sought to make campaign issue of the
TACT. In the press and from the stump
the country rang with denunciations of
republican extravaganza" and of the
"billion-dollar congress-"
To these attacks Speaker Reed re-
sponded with the brief remark that
this had become "billion-dollar coun-
try Common sense men appreciated
the force of the argument, but the
democratic party continued to rave.
Then democratic majority appeared
in congress. and was forced b. Psac-
teal experience to learn something Of
the size and needs of this nation And
behold, that democratic congress was
also "billion-dollar congress-" says
the Chicago Inter Ocean.
While the Spanish war did not in
spire the democratic party with cour-
age to face the task of dealing con-
structiveiy with the consequences of
conflict for which it's representatives
in congress had clamored, it did at
least open democratic eyes a little to
the dimensions of the United States
as measured by national expenditures.
Even the stunted democratic imagina-
tion managed to grow just little.
Thus i: came about that when Sem
ator Allison in the closing hours Of
the Ffty-seventh congress, announced
that its appropriations had aggregated
$1,554. 10S,514. he was able TO add that
not only had the people of the country
Endorsed this expenditure as necessary,
but also that the opposite political
party had concurred in it, The demo-
cratic members. In fact, had come to
understand that this is not only a bill
lion-dollar. but even a billion-and-a-
half-dollar country.
The expenditures of the Fifty-sev-
enth congress exceeded those of the
Fifty-sixth by $113,619,OsO. OF this
$5O,00o,000 goes to begin the isthmian
canal, about $50,0OO.OOO to improve the
postal service, especially in the mat
ter of rural free delivery, and the rest
for rivers and harbors, for which the
FiNty-siNth congress did much less
than usual. And the people are glad
to have their money spent for these
purposes.
The democratic party learns very
slowly, and often seems to have for
gotten everything it was supposed to
have learned. But it has at least
learned that there is nothing disgrace
full. but quite the reverse. in spending.
your money for things that you need
and for your own and others welfare.

ANTS SPREAD BLIGHT.

that they should seek out the poi

ton. which will receive all the railways
having their terminus in Washington
or running through it, will be one of
the great railway editices of the world.
AS an imposing piece of architecture
it will surpass them all. The new sta
ton will be almost under the shadow
of the capitol and it Will be thoroughly
in keeping with group of public build
ings which are unsurpassed for dignity
and artistic effect. Its cost will be as
great as that of any of the existing
public buildings in Washington, and its
surroundings with the great plaza in
front will be beautiful to degree not
approached by railway terminals else
where. This plaza is feature upon
which the executive officers of the gov
eminent especially insisted in spite of
vigorous opposition in congress to the
additional expense which it involved.
Washington is a place for great civic
parades and military pageants. The
present stations are altogether lacking
in facilities which are absolutely es-
sential to the massing of organizatio
or bodies Of troops. When Prince Hen
ry came to Washington the confusion
in the narrow streets adjoining the
Pennsylvania station was so great that
the authorities We're seriously alarmed.
1t looked for a time as if they would
not be able to furnish adequate pro-
lection for the royal guest from the
inrushing crowds. Under the new ar,
rangement nothing of this kind can
happen. A whole brigade of troops, if
necessary, can be massed in front of
the station. LOUIS A. COOLIDGE.

POOR COWS EXPENSIVE.
Why Thousands of Dairy AnimalD
In the United States should Re
Sold for Beef

Some dairymen would be better OFF
il they did not have so many cows as
they own at present and some would
be actually better off if they had
none. Ibis is hard saying, but it is
true. The sooner the poor cows are
weeded out of the herd the better 1t
takes a fairly good cow to pay ex-
penses. There are millions of cows
IN the United States that are not fair
ly good. This is proven by statistics
regarding the average of milk and
butter production. The average COW
is not money maker, and there are
millions of cows poorer than the av-
erage COW. From the average cow
down they should be sent to the
shambles. The farmers of the
United States would be ahead what
lhey received from them as beef.
This would be clear gain, and more,
1or 1t would be preventing annual
losses that are now occurring with
great regularity. The men that scott
at book farming, that will not read
agricultural papers and that will not
attend farmers institutes are the fel.
lows for the most part that are keep.
ing these expensive poor cows. The
men that are awake and that think
are quitting that kind Of business.
Moreover, the men that are progress
slve are getting ahead of the men
that refuse to think. They are going
out among the slow men and are an
nually buying their best cows to put
INTO their own herds. They are doing
this at the expense of few dollars
per COW more than they would have
to pay for poor COW. They are do
ing the right thing, for if the other
men refuse to be instructed they
must necessarily suffer the loss of
their best animals. A COW that will
make a profit of $50 year is GER
family worth twice as much as the
COW that will make only s25 profit
IN year. yet the foolish man that
sells the better COW will part with
her for $35 when he would want S25
Tor poor COW. Every farmer should
investigate the matter and as quickly
as possible get rid of his expensive
poor cows.-Farmers' Review.

A DENIAL THAT EvADEs.
Bryan's Willy Statement Regarding
His Contemplated Ceurss in the
1904 Convention.

Mr. Bryan was recently quoted to
have denied the published report that
he had declared his intention to lead
bolt from the next democratic conven-
ton if the conservative element should
secure control and proceed to reor-
ganization of the party on platform
not including the essential planks of
the Kansas City platform. But his
denial is peculiar, says the Albany
Journal.
Mr.. Bryan did not say that he would
not bolt the convention. but only he
said that he did not say he would
He added: "Never will ycu find the
gold democrats capturing any demo-
cratic convention of national impor-
lance. The very idea is absurd
1T may be inferred from this that
Mr.. Bryan has not directly threatened
to bolt the convention if the reorgani-
zation faction should gain control,
merely because he deems it to be i'm
possible for the occasion for a bolt to
arise. He has not said that he would
not bolt if that which he declares t o be
impossible should nevertheless come
to pass.
Mr.. Bryan will have to make clear
er, more definite statement before the
suspicion will be allayed that change
of control of the party would cause
him to place himself at the head Of
those who would follow him out of the
regular democracy, and set up a party
of his own.
After all that he has said against
those democrats who have opposed the
declarations and principles ofthe Kan
sas City platform, it seems inconceiv-
able that he would ever bring himself
to join them and work with them

rightfully convicted and sentenced by
the Cuban courts; there can be none as
4 to the starightforwardness of Woods
conduct after the explicit and unquali-
fed endorsement by Secretary Root
who, for the administration, accepts
full responsibility for what Wood did
in Cuba, and declares that Rathbone's
charges "have no justification" Wood
has made longer strides since the be-
ginning of the war with Spain than
any other man who had anything to do
with that conflict. Longer, even, than
Roosevelt, for the present president
had national reputation before 1898,
while Wood was hardly known here in
washington, where he was stationed as
an adjunct of the surgeon generals Of
nee. Now Wood has a record as SOL
der, as civil administrator and as
military governor which makes him
quite the most distinguished officer of
the army with a major generals stars
at an age when most West Point grad
yates think themselves lucky to
achieve colonels rank. West Point
men in the army not unnaturally are
sore over Woods phenomenal promo
ton. They have way of referring to
him slightingly as Doctor Wood" and
yet he had seen fighting among the In
dams long before Mckinley and Roose-
welt picked him out as colonel of the
Rough Riders. Even as surgeon in
the army he seized opportunities to
get into the thick of the fight, and on
one occasion in an emergency during
Miles last Indian campaign he COM
manded regiment. Still Woods last
ing reputation is likely to be as an ex-
ecutive and an administrator. He will
have an opportunity IN Mindanao to
bring order out of Chaos, just as he
had in Cuba.
