How to Make q Hot Bed.

The location Of the hot bed is an i'm
portant matter. It should be on we'll
drained soil, we'll sheltered from wind
and fully exposed to the sun. 1t should
be near the house, for convenience.
Fresh manure from the horse sta
BILE, mixed with litter from bedding, is
the material most generally made use
Of to furnish the heat needed in the
hot-bed. A pile of this material Is
spread on the place selected for the hot
bed, covering an area somewhat larger
than the hot-bed itself is intended to
be. 1t is thrown on the ground in lay
ers of a few inches in depth. Each
layer is trod down firmly before an
other is added. The pile should be
finished off by rounding it over. Leave
it in this condition for few days, un-
til fermentation sets in. This can be
told by a warm moisture which will be
seen rising from it. It should then be
forked over, shaking out the long straw
as this is done, and. making another
heap Of it. as at first. In two or three
days it will again give evidence Of fur
ther heating. After this it is in cond1-
ton for final disposition in the bed.
AS the manure is now thrown into
shape it should be packed down we'll,
making it as uniformly compact as pos
sible. There should be about two and
a half feet of this material.
It is now ready for the frame. This
should be put in place and covered with
sash. Bank up we'll outside the frame
with the manure. Allow the sash to
remain in place until strong heat is
generated. When this begins to de-
crease, and the thermometer does not
register more than eighty-fve or ninety
degrees, cover the manure inside the
frame with about inches Of fine, rich
soil, worked until it is in the mellowest
possible condition. The bed is now
ready for use.-Eben E. Rexford, in
Making the Country Home," in the
Outing Magazine.

How Herbert sponcer Painted His Carpe,

nO" noKUoAA SPoASoA - essesoo ~~'o
In Harper's Magazine appears an ar
ticle OH Home Life With Herbert
Spencer" written by two friends who
lived with him. 1t reveals new and
amusing side of the great thinkers
character. Here is one Of the incl
dents:
"The pattern Of his drawing room
carpet began to fade when 1t had only
been down few months. 1t consisted.
or rather had consisted. Of clusters OF
blue flowers on a drabbish ground:
Now, with the principal color gone,
it had become far too dull for the taste
of that lover of brightness. He there
fore conceived the unique idea Of haV-
inc each flower stamped over with red
ink. For this purpose he invented
small tin tray, which was so made that
it stood quite fiat on the floor to pre-
vent any possibility Of the ink being
split or dropped about. Bent in it
were little wells about as large round
and twice as thick as a halfpenny.
These depressions were filled with the
liquid.

Breeding Partridge Cochins.

Although Mr.. Mitchell's residence at
Bristol. Conn, is right in town, he has
demonstrated that it is not necessary
to have forty-acre farm to raise fine
birds. His poultry house is model
for neatness, and the second story is
entirely arranged with individual pens
for settlers as we'll as pens for mated
birds. 1t is equipped with incandes-
cent electric lights, so that the birds
can be seen to good advantage in the
evening.
These birds are the result Of years OF
line e-breeding in systematic manner
that has, and is. producing birds SO
perfectly finished that one simply Won
ders at their perfection.
Mr.. Mitchell is both fancier and a
naturalist. His labors toward perfec-
ton have been persistent, and he has
consistently followed a line marked
out for himself from the beginning.
The result was shown at New York last
winter when he showed four genera
tons, and every one Of them was a
prize winner.
I saw over 100 birds on the place.
They were youngsters, and all roasted
on a bed of sand, except the more for
ward ones, and they had pens espe-
cially prepared for them. Their roots
were but a few inches from the soft
sand. Now, here is where develop
ment of the Cochin comes in. Leaving
aside feed, they were handled as all
Asiatics should be-quietly and close
to the ground. AS soon as they are in
good feather they are placed ir tie
training coops and taught to pose and
to be handled. That involves labor,
but it wins many prizes.-J. H. D., ir

killing Verinin on Pigs.

A matter that should have careful
attention in raising pigs is the bedding
and sleeping quarters. They should
have warm, dry pens with ample ven
tilation. The bedding should be
changed twice weekly and the pens
we'll cleaned out. Before replacing the
bedding a little lime, sprinkled about
the floors, or good disinfectant should
be used. See that there is no vermin
on the sows or in the pens; if there
should be drive them in the pen and
sprinkle with any of the "hog dips" or
with crude petroleum. This will free
them after three treatments at inter-
walls of a week apart. To thoroughly
get rid of vermin the remedy should be
applied vigorously and the floor and all
parts Of the sleeping pen should be
sprayed and all old, infected bedding
burned.-Farming.

Shade important.

Now, the tree-planting time is at
hand, every poultryman should ell
deavor to plant few fruit trees near
the poultry house, not little. small
twigs, which will not furnish shade or
fruit for several years, but the largest
that can be found.
There are many kinds of fruit trees
that will bear the second year, and the
fruit will add to the profits of the
poultry yard.
Plums, especially the new Japanese
varieties, are very fine, while cherries,
peaches and apples all do we'll.
II the orchard has already been
planted it will be better to arrange the
poultry houses so that the fowls vii!
become accustomed to staying there.
There is no better place for them,
and they will keep the insects away
from the trees.

What's q Good Potato:

Most people, I suppose take Il for
granted that the best potatoes are the
ones that contain tie most starch. says
a writer in Garden Magazine. On the
contrary. It is the ones that contain the
mos; gluten, because gluten is an al
bumincus food. and starch is much
cheaper than albumen.
Now >ut potato open end look at
the small Illustration and we shall
learn something worth knowing about
this gluten.
