THE HoTBED.
Ito Farmer Should Be Without This
Valuable Adjunct to the
Garden.

Every farmer should make a hotbed
this spring. 1t is a simple device from
which springs an immense amount of
pleasure and profit. IT the wife or
daughter is taking care of flower gar
den there should be another hotbed
especially for her use. The essentials
are only long and narrow box in which
to secure bottom heat, and a sash Of
glass to cover it. During the winter
days almost any farmer can make the
sash for himself and build the box, sug-
gests the Orange Judd Farmer. Nova
days the hotbed is generally placed di-
rectly on the ground; sometimes half in
and half out. The best gardeners think
the pit should be quite shallow, SO that
the heat shall not be drawn from the
manure into the cold earth. Make a
level-topped pile of fresh horse manure,
with about the same quantity of straw
or litter, four or five feet high. Sprinkle
occasionally with hot water, and turn
the heap occasionally to secure uniform
fermentation. Now. build the bed by
spreading coarse litter at the bottom,
and on it couple of feet of manure
On this place a layer of leaf mold, and
on top of all about five inches of fine
garden SOIL In placing the manure in
the pit, spread 1t in layers about six
inches thick. Now sow your seed and
be careful to avoid overheating at any
time, especially when the sun comes out
suddenly. Sprinkle the frame at night,
then close up invariably SO long as there
is any danger of chilling the plants. An
old hotbed can be used for cold frame
to grow plants more slowly than in heat,
or to protect roses during the winter

A Home-Made Calendar.

An artistic calendar can be made
from wall paper. Select piece which
has not too large a design, one showing
flowers like the yellow daisy, or pink
and yellow chrysanthemum, makes an
effective applique, and cut the group of
blossoms out carefully. Have dark
mount ready and paste the flowers on it.
Add calendar pad and bow of ribbon
and loop to hang it up by.

An Ex-sherin Talks.

Scott City, Kan, March 2oth-(SpeciaD
Almost every newspaper tells of cures
of the most deadly of kidney diseases by
Dodd's Kidney Pills. Bright's Disease,
Diabetes, Rheumatism and Bladder trou-
bles, in fact any disease that is Of the
kidneys or caused by disordered kidneys
is readily cured by this great American
remedy.
But it is in curing the earlier stages of
kidney complaint that Dodd's Kidney
Pills are doing their greatest work. They
are preventing thousands of cases Of
Bright's disease and other deadly ailments
by curing Kidney Disease when it first
shows its presence in the body.
