Homemade Hot Bed.

enough to melt snow or ice, the air
circulates sufficiently to ventilate the
bed; but when it is cold enough to
freeze every crevice is sealed by the
moisture concealed in the cracks.
When very cold weather prevails, the
air cushion is absolutely dry and in
this condition it is a perfect non-con-
ductor of either heat or cold.
Even in zero weather the sun, shin
ing through the glass and enclosed air
raises the temperature of the bed to
a good growing warmth; and at night
only portion of this warmth escapes.
Cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce, beets,
violets and pansy plants, it is claimed,
are safe under the double glass, at 8
to 10 degrees below zero: and even
tomato, pepper and elephants have
been grown in hot beds without any
cover except the double glass in a
temperature nearly down to zero.
The saving of labor is considerable
when the double-glass sash is used.
No covering or uncovering is required,
no mats or boards are needed The
double sash for hothouses have been
found to be a great saving of heat,
less coal is required to keep up a
given temperature-the plants make
stronger growth and are less liable
to leaf drop.

Caution on Pasturing Alfalfa.

Alfalfa should be pastured with
very great caution. In fact, the
farmer who holds this matchless crop
in proper regard will pasture some
thing else and just use the alfalfa for
hay. But if the alfalfa is to be
pastured about half enough stock
should be kept on it to keep the
growth down. By this method two or
three cuttings of hay will be obtained
in addition to the pasturage.
Another caution to throw out is that
it should be allowed to make a good
start in the spring before the stock
are turned on, and should be allowed
to go in the winter with a good cover.
Under no conditions should it be
pastured in cold weather

PLANNING FOR THE HOT BED
1t viii Reduce Grocery Bill Consider
ably This Spring-kansas Way
Is One Good Suggestion.

Better think about making that hot
bed for early radishes and lettuce. 1t
doesn't cost much, and it will lower
the grocery bill Here is the way rec
commended by the horticultural depart
ment of the Kansas State Agricultural
college:
Dig hole two feet deep, a little
larger than the size of the hot-bed
frame If the hot-bed is to be perma-
nent, the walls Of this pit should be
lined with brick, stone or cement.
When possible, have shed or board
fence on the north side of the bed.
1t will take less manure to heat the
soil. Put two feet of well-mixed fresh
horse manure in the hole, wet thor
oughly, and lamp. If the ma
nure is not we'll tamped, the soil will
settle unevenly when the manure de-
Gays.
Two-inch material makes a better
and stronger frame and will last long
ed. The front of the frame should be
six inches high, the back eighteen
inches Put five inches Of dirt on the
manure, preferably the richest soil
you can get Fill in around the frame
with manure and earth and put the
cover on the frame.
Glass sashes are best for covers.
Cloth may be used late in the season.
The size of sash is three by six feet.
The bed, then, should be six feet wide
and as many times three feet long as
desired
The temperature Of the hot-bed will
be high at first. Use a thermometer.
When the heat has fallen to IS de-
grees the seed may be planted. Keep
the bed we'll watered but do not soak.
Too much water rots the manure too
rapidly. Be sure the bed is well ven
tilated. When sashes are used, they
must be raised to let in the fresh air
in mild weather. Extra covers should
be provided for cold days and nights.

A liberal use of paint means great
deal to the farmer.
Sharpen and repair the garden tools

The successful garden is started in
the fall, although not a seed may be
planted.
Keep all the tools that are used
around the barn in convenient and
safe places.
A little paint goes long ways to,

GLASS SASH FOR HOT BEDS
Latest Invention Is So Arranged as to
Allow Air to Circulate and

The newest invention to make win

A heifer twin with a bull seldom, if

Keep a little gas tar on hand and

The good dairy cow is a lady and

Alfalfa leaves contain most of the

Orchard grass makes better mix

Cream for churning should be al

Calves should have daily outdoor

When fowl is found to be suffering

In many cases it is safer to dehorn

Flavor is the one great quality Of

Quite often the flavor in butter is

The flavor of butter depends main

The cow is an animal that delights

Each bedded cow or horse will make

The price of horses seems to be
rather on the down grade, although

One way to save feed bills is to pro

Good feeding does not consist OF
