Homemade Hot Bed.

enough to melt snow or ice, the air

bed; but when 1t 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 1t 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, 1t 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 q
given temperature-the plants make
a stronger growth and are less liable
to leaf drop.

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. IL
doesn't cost much, and 1t will lower
the grocery bill. Here Is the way rec
commended by the horticultural depart
ment of the Kansas State Agricultural
college:
Dig a 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.
It will take less manure to heat the
soil. Put two feet of well-mixed fresh
horse manure in the hole, wet thor
ough!y, and lamp If the ma
nure is not we'll tamped, the soil will
settle unevenly VIII en-, the manure de-
Gays. "a
Two-inch material makes q 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 a 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 thermometer.
When the heat has fallen to IS de-
.rees the seed may be planted. Keep
he 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.

Combined Hog and Sheep Barn.

do so required building In which to
feed them. The old barn formerly
used for storing hay q part OF tho
season and for cattle shelter the re-
naming time had the two sheds add
ed on either side as shown in the e.
terror view and the floor plan. The
old building was divided into corn
cribs, feed room, grain room, etc. Ife
sheds were arranged as shown on the
floor plan, one side for hogs and the
other side for sheep, the loft holding
the rough feed for the sheep. In
building the barn and installing the
interior partitions, racks, troughs,
etc., everything was so constructed
that in case second change waf
made necessary by the ever 1iuctuar-
ing price of live stock the interior ar
rangement could be rcarranGed at a
minimum cost.

likely to cause lameness.. Blemishes
may indicate tendency to falling.
The hoofs should be ample in size
sound, smooth and symmetrical in
shape.
The chest encloses the heart and
lungs; it should be roomy in every
respect. A narrow, shallow chest de-
notes poor constitution, lack of endur-
ance and deficient breathing organs.
If too wide the action tends to wad-
ding or rolling. A narrow chest and
high knee action often go together.
An ample, wide, deep chest denotes
vigor, power, strong constitution and
easy keeping qualities.
Poor hooks are common fault in
draft horses. 1t Is important to i'm
prove this deficiency. To that end
breeding animals should have good
hooks and for work horses this also
Is imperative. The hook mot hind

one of such diseases as bone and bog
(not "blood') SPAWN, thoroughpin and
curb. These should be avoided. The
joint should look and feel firm, hard
and with each bone we'll defined, free
from meatiness and of great size. The
point of the hook should be prominent,
clean and sharp and the tendons un-
der it straight, distinct, but free from
bullying. -

Can a Holstein COW produce quart

A Holstein COW Is big beast, weigh
Ing from 1900 to 1,400 pounds. 1t has
a large capacity for feed. This nat
ural fitness to eat enormous quantities
of feed means a large production OF
milk. A COW is factory for the pro-
duction OF milk. Like any other fac
tory, the larger the amount Of pro-
duct turned out, the cheaper 1t Ia
produced.
A Holstein cow may be likened to

DUCK RAISING is PROFITABLE
Capital of $1,000 Will Give Excellent
Start-eusiness Requires Care
and Watchfulness.

For breeding, ducks and brakes are
better in their second year.
The duck laying season generally
begins in February and ends in Au-
gust, although the Indian Runner
ducks are credited with being year
round layers.
Hallock estimates that 1t costs, all
told, II cents a pound to raise ducks
up to the market age (ten weeks.
This includes the cost Of feed, help,
marketing, eggs, insurance, etc. All
over the Il cents is clear, profit.
From February to May the eggs show
the strongest fertility.
John Weber, the well-knoWn duck
raiser, III all address before the
Ploughman Farmers meeting at Bos-

the land $1,000 capital will give a

amount, he said, would be sufficient
to cover all expenses, buy two incu-

This ability to turn out large guam

and it Is due to their size and capacity
for feed resulting from their size.
While quart of Holstein milk is
produced cheaper than the same guam

breed, it isn't as rich in butter fat.
Holstein milk averages three per cent.

the governors appointment of w. w. Thayer
to the attorney -generalship when the Bar Assoc
citation was treated to surprise in the nominal
ton of Judge Kingsbury to succeed himself on
the second circuit bench. Is d
In the first case, the governor apparently for
got the Republican central committee, and in
the second case he apparently forgot the Bar As
sociation. He did not consult with the Repub-
lican committee before naming his choice for at
torney-general, nor, it seems, has any member
of the Bar Association known that Frear sent
Kipgsbury's name along to Washington.
That the governor should act without con-
sulting these powers has been something of a
shock, even though Frears reticent turn of mind
is weIlknown. And it appears as if there will
be lively opposition to the confirmation of both
men. The territorial senate, according to pres
ent prospects, is not at all likely to confirm Mr.
Thayer, and the opposition to Kingsbury will
have both a local and Washington end Local
W the friends of Judge Edings are certain to
stir up rumpus; in Washington, the Demo-
crafts carrying out their ayowed plans, will
block Kingsbury's confirmation as they are
