permanent bed, in which manure is to
supply the heat, pit two or two and
one-half feet deep, according to the lat
itude in which the work is to be done,
should be provided. The sides and
ends may be supported by lining of
plank supported by posts four feet
apart, or, what is better still, brick
wall nine inches thick, as shown in
Fig. l., may be used. In either case
the pit lining should come flush with
the surface of the soil. The site for
the pit should be on naturally WELL
drained land, and tile drain from the
bottom of the excavation should be
provided to prevent the water from &C
cumulating in the pit and stopping
the fermentation of the manure during
the period the hotbed is in use.
Standard hotbed sash are three by
six feet. The pit, therefore, should be
some multiple of six feet in length,
and the width should be the same as
the length of the sash-six feet. The
plank frame, or the brickwork of the
pit, may be extended above the sur
face of the ground sufficiently to al
low for placing the sash Immediately
upon these permanent structures. In
the autumn the pit should be filled
with leaves or straw and covered
with loose boards or shutters to pre-
vent it from becoming filled with
snow and Zee, and in order that it
may be ready for use early in March.

PLANTING TREES.
Be Sure the Ground Is Well Drained
and That Trees Are Set Right.

1t is loss of money to plant trees
upon wet or undrained ground. If dry
ground cannot be obtained the soil
should be tile drained and put in good
condition.
In setting out trees one should bear
in mind the fact that you are not set
ting out crop for a single year, but
that it will remain for many years
to come and that errors made cannot
easily be corrected; and for that rea-
son trees should never be set out in
hurry or without due forethought.
Spring and fall planting both have
their advocates, each claiming spe-
cial advantage over the other. For fall
planting, October is the best month In
which to set the trees out as a later
planting might suffer from a freeze,
thereby doing permanent injury.
One strong argument in favor Of fall
planting Is the fact that more time can
usually be devoted 10 it, Better trees
may be obtained, as the nursery rows
have not been culled so often. More
time may be devoted to preparing the
ground and also to planting and when
everything is taken into consideration
1t will be found that. generally speak
ing, autumn planting will give the best
results.

Sutherland joins his pals a short
distance away. The vigilance CON-

goes to warn the robbers. She is mis-
taken for one of them and killed.

Did Honest Work for a Time.
Sutherland then worked for a time
as delivery clerk in the Creek Ma
ton, after which he committed more
robberies and was arrested for the
first and only time in his life by the
sheriff of Lamar, Mo. He spent some
nine months in reformatory, escaped
and joined the army as a musician
under the name of Jack Ames. He was
ambitious to become an army officer,
but Errington bobbed up again, and,
knowing that he would be found out
sooner or later, Sutherland went back
to the old life.
Going to Los Angeles Sutherland
and his pals planned several crimes,
among them the kidnapping of mil
lionaire and holding of Sim for $780,

wrote, because the selected victim

see no way but the old way. That
was the easiest; he would follow it for
a time, then when he got enough
money together he and his wife would
go to Oklahoma, buy back the ranch
and live happily ever after.

RHUBARR FOR WINTER.
Take Some of the Roots for Forcing
in the Cellar.

1t is now time to make planting
plans for the fall and winter. If you
have q cellar with dirt floor and have
rhubarb plants which have supplied
you in the spring here is a plan by
which they can be made to furnish
crop of tender shoots in the winter,
when the pies and sauce are most
welcome.
Rapid growth is essential to insure
tenderness of the rhubarb. The very
best can be raised in the winter, warm
cellar being the only requisite for
forcing it. The roots of the plants
should be dug up late in the fell with
large quantities Of dirt adhering to
them. These chunks. of earth contain
ing the roots may be piled up outdoors
until midwinter when they should be
carried into the cellar and placed in
a bed prepared in the earthen floor.
The chunks of earth should be laid
close together in rich, moist earth and
covered to depth of four to six
inches.
Growth soon commences. Light is
not a requisite. In a short time the
rhubarb will be ready for the table.
The shoots will be almost colorless
and remarkably tender and palatable.
A very small bed containing only half
a dozen well-developed hills will be
sufficient to supply family for several
weeks. Roots send up large number
ne cbontc and aYhauct themca1ypc in
about four weeks. For an additional
supply roots should be planted at in.
teryals of two or three weeks.
