Cheap HOtbed.

A cheap and easily made hotbed
much in use by extensive growers may
be made as follows: Cut all the posts
twelve inches long and nail the side
boards on, allowing them to project an
inch over the end posts; then nail IN
the end boards, which give level top
when set up. When the bed Is set up
ready to fill, one side is tilted, resting
the posts Oh blocks or bricks, which
gives the necessary slant to carry off
the water when the sashes are placed
on. This bed gives very satisfactory re-
suits, but of course is not "thing Of
beauty"

seeds to put in the ground. and this
as soon as the soil can be worked. The
advantage Of this is that the plants
need the strength that comes from early
spring growth in order to carry them
thriftily through hot weather. (2) Pre-

bone in the manure. Wood ashes are
excellent, as they keep the soil damp

OLD fashioned celery trenches, about
four or five inches deep. The seed

later. as growth proceeds, to bring the
top even. The slight depression is use
fnl for summer watering in case Of
drought, a. In summer mulch the
line of peas and apply water liberally
at times if the weather is dry. o. Pick
