RESERVE POWER.
Value Of . Surplus Of Energy In the
Battle Of Lite.

Value Of q Surplus Of Energy In the
Battle Of Lite.
In every department Of life phys
ical, mental and moral reserves are
Of incalculabIe value. Many people
work so hard that they exhaust
their physical energies each day.
They make it matter Of con-
science to wade through just as
much work as possible every day, no
matter how painfully it is done, not
realizing the tremendous value Of
keeping oneself vigorous, buoyant.
No life can be vigorous if it is
not kept fresh. responsive, by great
physical and mental reserves. As
alternating animals, like the bear,
in cold climates sustain life through
the winter wholly upon the reserve
fat and nutriment stored up in the
tissues, so patients who have splen-
did physical reserves and resisting
power are carried through severe
sickness and sustained through Sc
we're illnesses by this reserve sur
plus, stored up vital power, while
those who lack it, those who have
dissipated it in abnormal living and
excuses, often lose their lives even
in much less severe illnesses.
Great business men accomplish
maryels with their reserves. MANY
of them work but few hours
day, but they have such tremendous
physical reserves and so much stor-
ed up mental energy that they are
able to accomplish wonders in a
short time because of their ability
to work with great intensity and
powerful concentration.
People who keep their physical
and mental surplus drawn down
very low by working great many
hours and almost never taking va
cations, who do not fill their reserve
reservoir by frequent vacations and
by lot of recreation and play, do
not work with anything like the
freshness and mental vigor Of those
who work fewer hours and con-
stantly accumulate great reserve
power.
There comes into every life worth
while time when success will turn
upon the reserve power. 1t is then
question of how long your stored
up energy will enable you TO hold
out. There will often arise emer-
gcncies when your success will de-
pend upon how much fight there is
in you.-Succcss Magazine.

GOOD HoT-BED MANAGEMENT
Valuable Assistant to Gardener and
Thorough knowledge Of Same
Leads to Success.
cRv II. q. PATTEN.)

By U. @. PATTEN)
The hOt-bed Is q valuable assistant
to the gardener and thorough knowl-
edge Of the same leads to success.
My method after the first year Is to
clean out each spring and mix thor
oughly the soil and old manure from
the beds and return 1t upon new, fresh
manure, adding new soil as needed.
After the beds become heated up
and the temperature drops to 80 de-
grees the seed is sown in drills four
inches apart and covered according to
the kind of seed used. Water literally
and never let the soil get real dry.
Insert thermometer into the soil
at the beginning and hold the heat
around 60 to 20 degrees by opening
or closing the, sash as necessary.
In early spring old strips OF car
peting laid over the sash at night
keep the frost away and help to hold
the temperature even. When the
plants begin to show the third leaf.
remove to boxes three inches deep
holding the same kind OF soil as that
In the bed.
This soil is tamped down smooth
and solid. Then use small stick like
a lead-pencll to make the holes for
the plants, making them at least two
inches apart.
Drop the plants in, firm the soil and
then water we'll and return to hot-bed
box and all and proceed in the caro-
Of them as though you had not dis
turbed them at all.
When they get to be four inches
high proceed to harden them on by
removing the sash during the day, but
return 1t at night until the nights be-
come warm.
This hardening process is very es-
sential before setting into open
ground. In transplanting always use
care not to injure the roots, and q
very important thing to do is to firm
the soil, about the plant. When set
ting into open ground. do SO on =
showery day or at evening, and sue
cess is almost sure.

Manure cons.rves Moisture.

Barn-yard manure increases the

and instead Of dumping the manure
in some convenient, out-of-the-way
place, or leaving in the yard to de-
teriorate, or to rot the structures
against Which 1t is so frequently
piled, the farmer cannot only save
money, but at the same time con.
serve the moisture Of his soil, by i'm

quickly and effectively a manure
spreader is very useful.

Building An Ieshouss.

1t is none too early to think about
building an icehouse. Ice is a great
luxury In summer and as much or
even more so than in the cities or
towns. An icehouse should be so
constructed as to have a double wall
or air space surrounding that por.
ton above ground, and the cost Of
such will be but little compared with
the protection afforded. There should
also be double doors. It is not difl-
cult to keep ice in a building above
ground II the double walls are used
and the ice securely packed.
