Are the Packer.Receivine Fair Pi.,4

are the PackersReceivingF Fair Pity?
When the Garfield report on the
business methods of the packers APP
peared, after eight months investiga-
uon, 1t was severely criticised and
roundly denounced. After three
months Of publicity it is significant
that those who attempted to discredit
1t have failed to controvert the figures
contained ia taat exhaustive document
The public is beginning to notice this
omission, and the feeling is rapidly
growing that the sensational charges
out of which the Beef Investiga ton"
arose were without foundation. If the
oriciai statements of the report are
susceptible of contradiction, a good
many people are now asking why the
facts and figures are not furnished to
contradict them.
The truth seems to be that most of
the charges contain unfounded sensa-
honal assertions. A fragrant example
or this appeared in recent article in
an Eastern magazine. to the effect that
forty Iowa banks were forced to close
their doors in 1904 by the Beef
Trusts manipulation of cattle prices"
Chief Clerk Cox, of the banking de-
partment of the Iowa State Auditors
Office, has tabulated the list of banks
given in the magazine article and has
publicly denounced the statement as
utterly untrue. He gives separately
the reasons for each failure mentioned
and officially states that they have
been caused by unwise speculations
and by reckless banking methods. 1t
may be well to suspend judgment up
on the packers until the charges
against them are proved.

THE FARM HOT-BEDS.

A hot-bed consists Of a rectangular
frame made of boards ten inches wide
in front and fourteen in back, placed
on their edges and nailed together,
the end pieces being bevelled Off and
the whole covered with sash, such as
old windows.
The beds are made in a convenient
location facing the south, as on a hill
side. If sheltered at the north by a
hedge or fence much more heat Will
be available.
A sufficient quantity of fresh horse
droppings containing the long straw
or leaves is piled up under cover, wet
down occasionally if necessary, and
turned every day for ten days or two
weeks. Then it will be ready for the
beds if the odor is sweet and agree
able. This material is to furnish the
heat, through decay, for three or TOUR
months.
The framework is set on the
ground at the desired place and the
enclosed space is dug out to depth
of 80 to feet. The soil thrown OUT
can be used to advantage in banking
around the frame. The manure IS
then placed in this excavation, layer
by layer, until within six inches OF
the surface of the ground, each layer
being packed down till firm and level
A layer of three parts good garden
loan to one part Of rottened manure
follows, deep enough to bring the
whole to level with the ground. Inc
sash is put on and the bed is left until
sticks left thrust in, show on Delns
held in the hand, a diminishing tenn
perature.
The bed may be planted at any
time after this, doing it on bright, not
days. at the brightest, hottest time.
There is a great variety OF things thSI
can be grown. Lettuce plants may De
started, or those previously started
in the house may be put out; radlshes
sown between, or lettuce seed Tor 4
second crop. Strawberries may De
forced in them. Dwarf beans, celery
parsley, early peas, herbs, ETC., can
be started. and even brought TO ma
turity. But for the farm it provides
a means of starting cabbage and TO-
matoes, two very necessary crops.
When these plants are off. the pea
will still furnish heat enough to ma
ture a crop of mushrooms. or better
some cucumber or melon seeds plant
ed will give an abundance Of fine early
fruit.
Careful watering and care to leave
a crack of air always on to take OH
the "sweat" is all the care necessary
other than careful ventilating on
bright days so that the temperature
will not rise so high that it is unfav-
orable to the crop in them. Wooden
shutters and straw mats are val
liable addition for covering the sash
on stormy days or cold nights.
If you have never tried a hot-bed
make up one this year and see for
Yourself the help one of these minla-
tire greenhouses is On many large,

other means for supplying caullnoW-
