THE HOTBED.-It is nearing the
season of the yea when the gardener
will want to start a few plants for
early vegetables. TIE hotbed offers
one of the easiest means to do this.
TO prepare the hotbed, make a frame
or box the size desired for it. The size
varies, but the usual size is from 4
to 6 feet wide and as long as desired.
1t is not a good idea to make the
not bed too wide for it prevents the
grower from easily reaching the CEN
ter of the bed waen wedding it. The
frame can be made out of common
me by six lumber, but heavier mater
ial may be used if desired. After saw
ing off the pieces for the four sides
nail them together at the corners,
place this box over the place marked
for the hotbed. AT each corner and in
the center of each piece, on the out.
side of the frame, sink or drive into
the ground a two by four stake thirty
inches long. Nail the hotbed box to
these stakes. The box so secured to
the stakes will not spread or slip up
or down.
When the frame has been prepared
as above dig out the soil inside of it
TO a depth of twenty four inches.
While digging out this pit it is a good
plan to make it a little larger at the
bottom than the frame above, so the
heating material when placed In tho
pit will be under the whole surface
Of the area inside the frame.
Into this pit place the heating ma
terial from sixteen to twenty inches
deep. Car should be taken to tramp
the manure down firmly and evenly
so as to make the mass compact and
smooth on top. On top of his put
i've or six inches of rich well crumb-
led loamy soil. After the tempera-
tine of the soil has becone somewhat
uniform the seed may be planted. At
ter planting the seed care should be
taken to see that the soil does not be-
come dry, because If 1t does the young
plants will likely be killed. The heat
ing of h manure below causes the
water to rapidly evaporate from tae
soil. This being the case it is impo--
tant to apply more water than ordi-
narily required in an outside bed.
Probably more failures are caused in
growing plants in the notbed by inju-
dicious and improper watering that

from any other cause.
In regard to the kind OF material to
usefor heating. fresh horse anure Is
probably the best. In preparing the
manure for the aotbed, secure the
amount needed for it and place the
same in a pile. When piling it put
enough water to thoroughly noisten
the whole mass. RI fermentation Toes

ed by throwing on the pile a few pail
fnls of hot water. When tie manure
has begun to heat well turn over the
whole mass into a new pile. This
will make the heating of the whole
.rore uniform. IL necessary add more
water. The fermenting should
not be allowed to become dry nor
should 1t be made too wet. after the
heating has become somewhat uni
form the can be put into the
hotbed pit as described above. If the
manure used is very fine and does
o contain much straw or other lit
ter, 1t is better to d some straw or
other coarse material. This helps to
make the heating more uniform and
prevents too rapid fermentation of
the manure thus causing the heat to
last longer.
Tae kind of covering used for the
hotbed depends on the material at
hand. The regular cold frame sash
may be used. The size most commonly
used is the three by six foot sash. The
cold frame in connection with the
manure furnishes abundant heat for
the coolest section of the Territory.
Where the cold frame sash is not av-
ailable, covering the bed with common
muslin or white domestic gives very
satisfactory results. 1t lets in sufic-
lent light and holds the heat to some
extent from passing off too rapidly.
The muslin may be stretched over the
whole hotbed in one piece or small
frames may be made the width Of the
cloth and size of the frame to which
tle cloth may be tackled. These
frames can be made out of light UNI

The frames may be mortised at the
corners n nailed together, or small

an extra covering may be brown ov-
err the hotbed to prevent injury to the
plants growing therein.
For starting plants for early e
tables such as celery, caulifiower cab
bage. onions, lettuce. tomatoes and
others. the hotbed offers an easy
means. Vegetables like radishes, lee
tuce IN onions may be grown for
Gnid-w inter use in the hotbed. Twenty
inches OF manure in the hotbed ought
to furnish enough hea to last six or
eight weeks.

Where an Acre Nourishes 40 People

Prof. F. H. King, of Madison, Wis,
in writing on soil cultivation in the
far East in Farm and Fireside makes
these interesting connents:
IL could not fail to be a matter OF
the highest industrial, educational and
social Importance to all nations, were
L possible to bring to them a full and
accurate account of all those condi-
tons and practices which have made
ii possible for such dense populations
to be maintained so largely upon the
products of Chinese, Korean and jap
anese soils. Many of h steps, phas-
es and practices through which this
evolution has passed are irrevocably
buried in the past, but such remarka-
BILE maintenance efficiency attained
centuries and projected into the
past with little apparent decadence,
merits the most profound study n
the time is fully ripe when 1t should
be made.
With our population increasing at
the rate OF nearly a million a year
during the last half century it is clear
that we a hardly learn too soon or
too thoroughly our probable limit OF
soil and crop production, and the best
methods of insuring and maintaining
IL. Probably nothing can give a safer
measure of the maintenance capacity
Of the farm and ar-ner of a nation
than the number of people they feed
per unit area of cultivated field and
il is doubtful if there is a better place
TO study this problem than in China
and Japan.
According to official statistics pub
lished in 1908, Japan has in it's main
islands, exclusive of Formosa and Ka-
rafuto. a population of 4~S,542.736 and
the area of its cultivated fields is 81
221 square miles. This is 2,277 people
to the square mile, and besides these
there are maintained $4,000 900 cat
tie and horses, nearly all of which are
laboring animals, giving a population
of one hundred and forty-two people
and seven horses and cattle to each
forty acres of cultivated field; a con-
dition sufficiently different from our
most fully occupied farm to make the
busiest man among US stop and do
some thinking.
The old farmer who permitted me
to hold his pillow told NY interpreter
that there were twelve in his family
and that he owned and and was Guilt
fifteen NOW of land, which is
and one-half acres. and that be-
sides tean-a COW and small donkey
he usually fed two pigs. This is at
the rate of 1872 people, sixteen cows,
sixteen donkeys and thirty W pigs
on a forty acre farm. and a population
density Of 3.O72 people W hundred
and fifty-six cows. two hundred and
fifty-six donkeys and i've hundred and
swine per square mile.
Japan is making rapid strides along
many Industrial mes and great atten-
ton has for many years been paid to
her agriculture in which rapid prog
ress is being made. AS early as 1872
she had established an agricultural
college. For several years the soil
survey of the main islands has been
with large scale maps and
Is made the basis of values for nation
