Homemade Hot Bed.

enough to melt snow or ice, the air
clrculates sufficiently to ventilate the
bed; but when it is cold enough to
freeze every creyice 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 s
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 uncoyering is required
no mats or boards are needed. The
double sash for hothouses have been
found to be. great saving of heat,
less coal is required to keep up
given temperature-the plants make
a stronger growth and are less liable
to leaf drop.

PLANNING FOR THE HOT BED
It Will 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 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
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 well 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 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 a 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 we'll 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.
