How to Prepare a Hotbed.

A hotbed should always be placed I'm
n sheltered position and if possible
should face south or east.
On cold nights protection must bo
given by board shutters. straw mats
or old pieces OF carpet or burlap. On
very bitter nights old newspapers can
be put around the edges OF the frames
under the carpet.
Watering should only be done I'm the
morning after the bed has warmed up
somewhat. and then only on bright
days. Watering nt night loses too
much heat and creates dampness that
Is apt TO result In mlldew or fungous
growths.
If the plants are not TO be drawn and
splndly ventilation IL necessary. IL is
good plan TO raise the sash whenever
the outside temperature has raised
that In the beds TO 60 or 20 degrees.
Tho beds should be covered early I'm
the afternoon. on mild days or when
the temperature outside Is above 40 de-
grces the sash can be removed entirely
