PLANNING FOR THE HOT BED
u viii Reduce Grocery Bill Considers
ably This Spring. Kansas Way
Il One Good Suggestion.

Better think about making that hot
bed for early radishes and lettuce. It
doesn't cost much, and it win 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, . little
larger than the size Of the hot-bed
frame II 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 il not well tamped. the soil will
settle uneyenly when the mature de-
Gays.
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 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 q thermometer
When the heat has fallen to IS de-
grees the seed may be planted. Keep
the bed well watered, but do not soak
Too much water rots the manure too
rapidly. Be sure the bed Is well ven
tlated. 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.

Caution on Pasturinu 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 II the alfalfa is to be
pastured about half enough stock
should be kept on 1t to keep the
growth down. BY this method two or
three cuttings Of hay will be obtained
in addition to the pasturage.s
Another caution to throw out is that
IL should be allowed to make 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.

|B0DY IS BAROMETER
SpecuIations Regarding Effects
Of Surroundings Upon Man.
German Professors Paper, Entitled

Made Great stir In European
Scientific Circles.

Berlin. Prof. w. F1eilpach, OF

made into the problem: How far arc
the brain and temperament Of man
dependent upon natural surround
ings?"
His report. entitled "The Geopsychic
Phenomena, :" has made great stir I'M
scientific circles, owing to the bold
theses Of the professor, who depicts
humanity as a mere vitalized barom-
eter, which reacts necessarily to the
stimulus of external forces, but has
little independent control over its!
own movements.
Landscape, says Hellpach, Is Of in
finitely greater Importance than cli-
mate in forming national character.
The idea that climate is more import
ant Is a delusion. In the United
States the fantastic mountain world
Of the great west will in time create
a different and much more Imaginative
race than that which exists in the

Americas population is too much in a

DEMOCRATS IN
 STATE COUNCIL
They Decide to Select Dele gates to Baltimore Con vention by Direct Pri- mary, Dividing State In to Six Districts.

The democratic state central com
 mittee was in almost perpetual ses-
 sion yesterday and was still at it
 when the latest bulletin was issued
 last night. A score of things were under consideration but the most inn
 portant matter so far IS learned was
 the decision of the committee to elect Arizona's six delegates to the Balti-
 more convention by a direct primary
 A forenoon session was held in the
 capitol building. an afternoon session
 in democratic club headquarters in the
 Ford hotel and it was understood the third session was held there last night.
 Few details of the plan of proceed
 ing with the popular election of dele
 gates were announced last night, but it is understood that the state is to be divided into six districts. one delegate to be selected from each, a sub-com- mittee being appointed to district the state.
 Some difficulty may be imagined in putting this plan into operation, in advance of legislation on the subject however desirable it may be. It is hardly to be supposed that the county supervisors will conduct an election for one party and the alternative nat urally will be that the county centra committees will conduct the elections in their respective counties. reporting i to the state central committee the re suits of it. In like manner also the county committee will probably have ! to finance the enterprise, though the expense will not be large if the party men will all agree to work for nothing | and voluntarily perform service oi election boards.

 Francis was the first of the Bryant air. and had been in flight less than thirty seconds when the acident hap pened Beyond some ugly-looking scratches and a bad bump or two. the aviator is as sound as an American mOnitary unit. in spite of the fact that he was pinned beneath the radiator of his engine when the fence, biplane and all became a pile of junk. His aero plane will be repaired as soon as is possible, and may be ready for flight again tomorrow in spite of the fact that the damage will amount to s2600 or more.
