TALK ABOUT HoTBEDs.
They Enable Gardeners to Raise
Earlier Vegetables ut Bat
Slightly Higher Cost.

Hotbeds are frames covered with glass
and heated by some artificial means, usu-
ally by fermenting manure placed un-
der the whole structure. They are used
for several purposes, but mainly for the
purpose of starting plants for trans
planting earlier than they could be
started out of doors, and for the fore
ing, on small scale, of some of the
more common and hardy vegetables,
such as radishes.
The frames may be made of various
materials, but when they are to be used
for several years, they should be made
of two-inch stuff SO fitted together as to
be easily taken apart for convenient
storage. These frames are commonly
made by IL feet, so as to give room for
four sash, each of which Isl by 6feet. The
south side Of the frame is usually made
to six inches lower than the north,
thus giving drainage from rain water as
we'll as better exposure to the sun.

BERRIES FOR MARKET.
Crop IL DispOsed OF In the. Right
Way and Place.

Having been asked, by . farmer SUBJ
scriber. IL it will pay to grow berries

If the business is managed right. and
the crop disposed of in the right way
and place. A good many Of our
towns are not properly supplied with

prices drop, and the berries being per-
ishable product, have to be sold for
what they will bring.
My advice is to grow berries for local
market towns that are not we'll supplied
Such places can be found in the west;
land can be bought for less than half

rough handling of the railroad men,
shipping expenses, commissions, ETC.,
are saved, also crates and boxes. Then
when consumers get fresh, wholesome,
home grown berries, they often get twice
as many. and the growers in the local
market often can regulate the price.
1t is a mistake to plant too large an
acreage. We have to pay two cents
quart for pickers; one cent for straw
berries and blackberries and one and
one-half to two cents for raspberries.
The pickers can make good wages. l

the old gentleman, when he had recov-

Much the same remark was made by
Standings employers the next week
after Sounding had made an astonish-
ing demand for the position Of, cashier
mo less-which he had been filling
temporarily during the illness of the
50-year-old incumbent. He said he un-

looking for somebody to take his place.
The firm admitted it-but-
"Of course, wouldn't have applied
otherwise" said Sounding, coolly.
"But it seemed to me that could do the
work better than an outsider, and
since l have taken hold Of it l have
seen where several radical changes
might be made in the present system

He took a pencil and pad of paper
and proceeded to a demonstration Of
his plans, and in about minute the
two members of the firm were hanging
over his shoulder in undisguised inter-
est. When he had concluded they
looked at each other.

The Right Way of Pruning.

Set a green hand to pruning trees,
where limbs of any size are to be re-.
moved, and the chances are ten to one
that he will commence on the upper
side of the limb and saw it of, saving
through until, by its own weight, it falls,
tearing down the barb and wood, inflict-
ing an ugly wound which it may require
years to heal, and which, If not carefully
protected from the weather, will cause
such decay as to destroy the tree. To
prevent injury to the tree, saw one
fourth or one-third through on the under
side. and then saw on the upper side, or.
with very large limbs to have them sup
ported by a crotched pole, held by an as
sistant below.-N. Y. Tribune-Farmer.

TO PAY BICYCLE TAX so YEARS.
Enforcement Of Paris Law Brinrs Ia
Light an Unusual State OF
Affairs for Owners.

Enforcing the law regarding the tax
alton of bicycles in France has led to
q curious state of affairs. When an
owner registers bicycle he is given a
plate proving that the police tax was
paid. Until this plate is returned to
the tax collector he is supposed to be
still the owner of the wheel. When
selling the bicycle, and leaving the
plate affixed, he is liable to go on pay
ing for the machine that he has not
got for the rest of his natural life. A
recent case was that Of a former owner
of two bicycles who had been paying a
tax for the last five years. and win go
on paying it for SO years to come as he
sold the machines forgetting to keep
the plates, and is now unable to show

Frames should be planned so that the
glass is as close as possible to the plants,
without crowding them-about 9 foot or
q foot and half above the soil on the
average. The sash is SO placed upon
these frames that the lower end may be
raised for ventilation and for whatever
work and care may be necessary. They
should also be so arranged that they
can be completely removed in hot
weather.
Having prepared the frames and the
sash, the next thing is to find location
and to furnish the heat. Preferably
notbeds should be located in some place
skeltered from winds and slightly slop-
ing to the south, where they will receive
the full benefit of the suns rays. Con-
venience is another thing which should
not be overlooked, for the beds require
considerable care and SO should be
handy to the house and to the water
supply. Having chosen our location we
should dig the pit which is to contain the
manure for heating. This should be done
in the fall before freezing weather. By
filing this pit with some manure or rub
bish the ground may be kept from freez-
ing, so that it is warmer and more cas-
fly worked when ready for use in the
spring.
The best manure for heating is fresh
horse manure containing about half
straw or litter. This should be piled so
as to allow heating for about two or
three weeks before ready for use. At
first the manure ferments unevenly, and
SO it must be piled several times, TAX
ing care to distribute the heating ma
nure evenly throughout the pile. When
1t has heated evenly throughout it is
ready for the hotbed. Care should be
taken to have the manure firmly and
evenly packed in the pit, and to get it in
this condition 1t is best to put it in in lay
ers and allow each to settle somewhat be-
fore the next is put in. When the ma
nure is all in, level of the top and place
about six inches of rich, light loamy soil,
preferably with considerable humus.
upon 1t.
After the manure has been placed in
the bed the temperature will rise very
rapidly for several days until it reaches
amaximum temperature, after which the
temperature gradually recedes. When
It has fallen to about 80 or 80 degrees it
is ready for the seed. The depth of ma
nure depends upon the climate, purpose
for which it is to be used, and the length
nf time heat is required. L. H. Bailey
says: eliot beds which are supposed
to hold two months should have about
2h feet of manure For a light hotbed,
to be used late in the season, or SINGH
es may be sufficient"
BY bearing in mind these general di-
rections and the cross-section shown
here, one may easily construct hotbed
that will make possible earlier and bet
ter vegetables at but very slightly in
creased cost and trouble.-M. l.. Merritt,

from moving train for insisting upon
riding without paying bis fare. He
sustained injuries and brought suit
against the road for damages. The
