the vegetables that may be canned or
stored in the cellar for winter use
Many farmers object to garden as
causing too much work. That is large
ly because they make it so The lar
gest item of work is hoeing, and if the
garden is properly planned and man
aged little of that will need to be done
The mistake most often made is in the
location of the garden. 1t is put in a
little corner back of the house where
there is no room to use horse tools. 1t
is much better to plant few fruit
trees in such space and locate tn
garden some place where it can be
worked by horsepower.
Securing Early Vegetables.
A south slope is best if early vegeta'
bles are wanted A sandy soil is also
a big help in getting things started
early. but almost any soil may bt

Besides having light, early soil.
south slope and preparing the ground
early, there are number OF other de-
vices that can be resorted to to secure
earliness. One of the most important
of these is the hotbed. A hotbed costs
little, and after it's advantages have
once been found out by actual trial it
is seldom abandoned. The best Toe"
ton for a hotbed is on the south side
of a building 1t should face the south
in order to get the most possible heat
from the sun. The main source OF
heat, however. is fermenting horse ma
nure A pit may be dug for the ma
nure, but the hotbed will be just as
successful if the manure is piled on
top of the ground The pile should be
about two feet deep and should be
spread out fat and packed tightly. 1t
should extend out about two feet each
way from the frame that is to be used.
The manure used should have the
proper proportions of straw and mois
ture, so that it will be springy. but
not too loose.
| 1t is a fact that much OF the success
of the hotbed depends Oh the proper
condition of this heat supply. If the
manure is too far advanced in decom
position the fermentation will not be
active enough to generate the proper
amount of heat On the other hand. y
active fermentation has not already
begun the necessary heat will not b'
on hand when 1t is wanted. and ger
mination and growth will be alto
gether too slow A little careful ut
tention to this matter will prevent dis
appointment.
The frame may be of any desired
size. according to the size Of glass tina
can be secured A storm windov
makes a good top for hotbed. 1t NJ
glass can be secured a sash covered
with muslin may be used. The franz
should be about eight inches deep il

FRUIT QUARANTINE
BILL IMPORTANT

WASHINGTON, April 14.--Fruit
growers and suburban residents, and
for that matter all people outside Of
the congested districts of the cities,
will probably be interested in bill
now in the House through the action
of Representative Simmons of New
York The bill has for it's purpose
the extension of the United States
quarantine service so as to bar out
from our shores diseased plants, pre-
cisely as today we bar out diseased
immigrants or cattle.
Two or three years ago a rather
picturesque illustration of what might
happen under our present lack of any
system of what might be called vege-
table quarantine occurred here IN
Washington. Mrs Taft, having ex-
pressed the greatest admiration for
the picturesqueness of the Japanese
highways and byways during the
period of the cherry blossoms, the
Japanese government sent over as a
gift to her more than a hundred
thousand young cherry trees to be
planted along the Potomac parkway.
That in time they would have made
of that spot, now bare and rather un-
attractive, a veritable bower would
probably have been true except that
experts from the agricultural depart
ment discovered them to be infested
with a parasite insect wholly un.
known in the United States. The en-.
tire gift, therefore, was burned lest
it should be the cause of introducing
new pest like the English sparrow
or the gypsy moth.
California today is panicky about
what is known as the Mediterranean
fruitfy, which preys upon the orange
trees and is at yet unknown in the
United States. It has, however
reached Honolulu and the state o.
California is making the most earnest
effort to keep it from entering il,
orchards.
