How TO Make a Hot Bed.

The location of the hot bed is an i'm.

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 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 fora a few days, un-
til fermentation sets in. This can be
told by a warm moisture which will be
forked over, shaking out the long straw
as this is done, and making another
heap of ii. as at first. In two or three
days 1t will again give evidence of fur
ther heating. After this 1t is in condi-
ton for final disposition in the bed.
As the manure is now thrown into
shape it should be packed down well,
making it as uniformly compact as pos
sible. There should be about two and
a half feet of this material
1t is now ready for the frame. This
should be put in place and covered with
sash. Bank up well 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.five or ninety
degrees. cover the manure inside the
frame with about inches of fine. rich
soil, worked until it is in the melowest
possible condition. The bed is now
ready for use.--Eben Il. Rexford, in

whai's a Good Potatoe

Most people, | suppose, take Il for
granted that the best potatoes are the
ones that contain the 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
luminous food, and starch is much
cheaper than albumen.
Now eut potato open and look at
the small illustration and we shall
learn something worth knowing about
this gluten.

mealy.
Second $ a thin layer varying from
one-eighth OF AN inch TO one-half an
inch in thickness. This Is the gluten.
Third comes the largest part of the
potato-the starch. If this is very
dense the potato will be mealy. but il
non-uniform the potato will be of poor
quality.
Fourth is the very centre of the tn.

Hints For Poultry.

A good egg will sink in water.
With the dust bath the hen cleans
her body.
Sitting hens should not be fed while
on the nest.
Growing chicks should be protected
from the sun.
The nest must occasionally be re-
newed and kept clean.
Road dust, with fine sifted ashes,
makes good dust bath.
Cleanliness and vigilance are the best
preyentiyes of disease.
AS rule fowls will keep healthier
if they have good range.
A dark comb is an Indication of a
congested state of tho system.
There is more profit in marketing
fowls early than at any other time.
Now you who have attended the
poultry shows and who have found out
that you did not know < all, can you
not improve the next season?
An aid to making fowls lay In cold
weather Is to heat their grain before
feeding. but do not get it too hot, as
fowls have been killed that way.
After cleaning your poultry house
thoroughly and using crude kerosene
oil In all the crevices and ON perches,
then litter the floor with straw and
chaff.
The festive lice still give their atten-
tion to the fowls, Notwithstanding
oiled perches, etc. A good dose of in
sect powder is about the only thing
that will rout them.
1t is poor pslicy to sell all your best
birds, even II you can obtain good
price, for while You obtain more ready
money you are not improving your
stock, and your birds will deterlorate
each year as long as ysu practice sell.

worth repeating because they agree In
a general way with experiment. in this
country. The experiments were in the
line of bringing up the quantity and
quality of pasture by topdressing with
chemicals. On light soil potash pro.
duced but little effect. On heavy soils
phosphate fertilizers were most profit
able. The topdressing was not profit.
able for the first three years, but after
that period lime proved profitable, and
potash was also profitable the last two
years. Nitrogen fertilizers proved of
little use. The great advantage of the
phosphate fertilizers and lime was to
promote the growth of various kinds of
clover. which resulted in improvement
of the soil and the stand of various
grasses. Fertilizers containing both
phosphatcs and lime proved very effect
i've, especially on heavy soils, which
generally contain enough potash to
last number of years, but were def
cient in lime and phosphoric acid.

Wild Board Buns Amuok.

Wild boar are always a trial during
hard weather in the forest districts of
France. About thirty Of them have
been killed In the Tarbes district dur.
ing the fortnight; the other day a
powerful boar absolutely wrecked the
local fair at Arreau.
Somehow It strayed among the
stalls, and its uneasiness at the sur.
roundings soon became a furisus
panic. The beast rushed wildly at
random, hither and thither, knocking
people down, scattering the fair booths
and their contents in all directions.
and before it got clear of the place
1t had completely wrecked the fair.
Then it plunged into the river TO
swim across, but was pursued BY a
crowd armed with reyolyers, pitch.
forks and hatchets and was oyerpow.
cred and killed before it could clear
the water.-London Daily Globe.

Beets of an early kind are excellent to
grow with the horse radish in alternate

Horse radish is entirely hardy, and can
be left safely in the ground all winter,
but 1t is best TO harvest the roots and
keep them in pits.

FORESTS ON RESERVES.
How the Government is Restoring De-
nuded Mountains and Wnstes.

The area now Under forest in the
West is less by millions of acres than
the area suitable for forest growth.
In the first place, fire has destroyed
an enormous quantity of forest. denud-
ing mountain slopes so completely that
forest renewal by natural means has
been rendered impossible for ages.
Again, vast areas, scores of millions
of acres, like the chaparrel lands of
Southern California, which once bore
forest growth but long since lost it,
must remain indefinitely unproductlve
wastes unless brought again. by plant
ing, under forest. Moreover, the de-
mand for timber, even, the local de-
mand, cannot long be supplied from
the reserves unless they are developed
to the highest productive capacity,
and, for this, forest replacement and
extension, quite as much as conserva-
tive logging, are essential. Finally,
the indirect use of the reserves is not
less impressive. The vital Importance
of water for irrigation would, in the
case OF several of them, alone, suffice
to render forest planting on water
sheds imperative. In Southern Cali
fornia forest extension on the mount
aims is strongly favored by public sen-
,timent, at almost any expense, be-
cause it is water, not the supply of
fertile soil, which limits agriculture, so
that land worth $4,000 an acre with
water could hardly be given away
without it.-Unlted States Agricultural
Bulletin.

A matter that should have careful
attention in raising pigs is the bedding
ana sleeping quarters. They should
have warm. dry pens with ample ven
tilatlon. The bedding should be
changed twice weekly and the pens
well cleaned out. Before replacing the
bedding a little lime, sprinkled about
the floors, or Il good disinfectant should
be used, See that there is no vermn
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 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
