this way will produce a fertilizer

to the Chilian nitrates. Few people

size, or the double.pointed tacks,
which are so bent as to prevent glass
from slipping down.
Glazing should be done during the
summer or early fall, as putty will
soon become loose IL frozen before
we'll hardened.
In building there should be no NOR
tises, but all joints be made by toeing
in with long, slender nails. All wood
work should be thoroughly painted be-
fore fitting, and all joints filled with
white lead paint. After all is done
the frame should be painted be-
fore the glass is put in.
The most important and expensive
feature of the small greenhouse is the
heating. If one has a hot water or
steam heater in the house, to which
the glass house is attached, it will be
a very simple matter to carry pipes
through, as at a, a, Figs, l and 2. Hot
air may also be let into such houses,

Another method of adding the cloth,

The farmer who would make his
crops Of vegetables most profitable, or
the small gardener who would have
an early supply of early vegetables for
home use or market must employ
some kind Of glass structures to hasten
these crops. The hotbed or cold
frame have been much in use in the
past, but the cost Of sash, shutters and
mats is nearly as much as the mate
rials needed for a permanent struc-
ture, while the labor of caring for cold
frames or hotbeds is often much more
than that Of the small greenhouse. In
the latter one may work with comfort
no matter what the weather may be
outside. 1t requires much more skill
to run hotbeds successfully.
Small greenhouses may be built
against the south side of the house or
stable, Figs l and 2. or they may be
built entirely away from other build
ings, but the shelter of larger build
ings on the north or west will be
found Of great advantage. II one has

PILLOW GASES
EdSiD2 Of Grocbeted
Lace Is JUST Now
tbe Feature

Pillow cases edged with old.fash-
ioned crocheted lace are taking the
place. to some extent, of the hem
stitched finish. When the lace is made
OF fairly strong thread and the pattern
a substantial one the edging will out
wear the linen or muslin cover. An
effective two-inch edging is made in
the following way, beginning with a
row of wheels which form the center
pattern of the trimming: Take medium
size cotton thread, which comes espe.
cially for this purpose, and make
rings by winding the cotton 10 times
around large wooden knitting needle
or pencil, then crochet 2S double
stitches in the ring; Join and make
three chains and crochet a treble chain
into each OF the ring double crochets.
then crochet six chains and catch the
sixth with double crochet stitch into
the second treble stitch; continue this
around the ring.
This makes Ia chain loops around
each ring. After n sufficient number
of wheels are made in this manner
they should be joined together by fas.
tening the middle stitch of each OF two
chain loops to two adjacent loops OF
another wheel, and so on. This will
leave four chain loops of each wheel
attached to other wheels and ten chain
loops loose.

case, fasten the thread into the fourth
loop from the end and make three
chains and double chain into the
next chain loop. five chains and one
treble chain into the next chain loop,
one long treble chain Quitting the
thread twice over the needle) into the
next. one triple chain (three times
over the needle) into the two chains
Joining the two wheels; then one long
chain into the first chain loop on the
next wheel and one treble into the
next loop. Three chains and a double
crochet into the next loop and three
chains and double crochet into the
next bring the thread to the top
again.
This makes the top OF the edglng
almost straight. Then comes a row
OF double crochots, with two chains be.
tween. a row above this OF two treble
crochets into the space between the
divisions of the previous row, then
two treble crochets and miss one for
the next row and the top row is two
treble crochets into each space of that
row.
For the edge make two double
chains. four chains and two double
chains into the first space. then two
double chains. four chains and two
double chains into the next space. and
