The manure should be hauled di-
rectly from the stalls to the beds,
and piled in a conical heap, leaving it
until fermentation has set up. *.
Before fermentation becomes too
lively, which is ascertained by the es-
Gaping steam, the pile should be fork

frame and left over until the escape
Of steam is again noticeable, then it
should be tramped into the frame per-

If the manure is very hot, the soil
should be put on at once, but if not,
the sash should be placed over the
manure for few days, until the
manure is we'll heated, then the soil

The bed should be watched, and as
soon as the seeds of weeds which are
in the soil begin to come up all over
the bed, it is time to plant the garden
seed.
Do not neglect the ventilation, as
the bed will get very warm on
sunny days, at which time the sash
should be opened little at the top,
and be careful that no direct draft
reaches the tender plants.
A covering of old carpet or mating
is good to place over the sash during
cold nights, and during the day, when
there is much sunshine. The frames
should be closed before nightfall, es
| pecially on cloudy afternoons, and
they should have manure banked up
around them during the cold spells.
AS soon as the plants are two or
three inches tall, they should b.;
transplanted to the cold frames
which are not unlike the hotbeds, ex
cept that they shave no bottom heat
and are covered with muslin to KEEP
off the chill and frost.

HO1BED is VERY IMPORTANT
Best Location Is on South Side Of
Building for Professionalism
vide Fall for Rains.
(By j. w. GRIFFIN.)


Tho hotbed is very important part
of a well-kept garden. 1t lengthens
the season in which we may supply
our tables with fresh vegetables.
A bed that is IL feet long and
feet wide will accommodate four reg
ular-sized sashes, 3x6 feet. In this
bed we have 48 squares of space,
which is sufficient to grow the plants
for good-sized garden. A garden,
three or four hotbeds and some cold
frames is a good start toward sue
cessful truck farming.
The best location for the hotbed is
on the south side of the building, a
high, tight board fence, or one pro-
tected by a heavy growth of ever
greens for a windbrake.
The site should be little higher
than the surrounding surface so that
good drainage may be secured. Make
an excavation a little wider and a
little longer than the bed is to be.
The inside dimensions for bed 6
feet wide and IL feet long will be
feet inches wide, and IL feet 4
inches long. The excavation should
be about 2 feet deep. The opening
should be boarded up with 2-inch stuff
for keeping out. the mice and moles.
Where possible.s the beds should face
southeast, or directly east.
The back of the frame should be 16
inches, and the front about inches
high. This gives sufficient fall for
water from rains or SHOWS to drain
off nicely, and the rays of sunshine
will have better opportunity to get at
the small seedlings.
The preparation of the manure is
not such a particular job as is gen.
orally supposed, but the simple prin

BLAME PLACED ON PHYSICIANS
Alleged to Be Due to Opiates
Ordered in Prescriptions.

That 80 per cent. of all the cocaine
and morphine manufactured in this
country is used by persons who have
formed the drug habit through physi-
clans prescriptions is the startling
statement made by DR.. L. +. Keller,
Chief of the Division of Drugs, Depart
ment of Agriculture. This statement,
and others, proving that physicians
and not "patent" medicines are re-
sponsible for the appalling growth of
drug addiction in the United States
was made by DR.. Kebler in an address
at Washington, before the American
Society for the Study of Alcohol and
Narcotics.
DR.. Kebler is quoted by Washington
papers as having declared that drug
using had increased 100 per cent. in
the last 40 years, and that American
medical men were not discriminating
enough in their use Of opiates. Their
overindulgence to their patients, he
said, is creating thousands Of drug
users every year.
1T is a very sad thing to say that
our physicians are doing the greatest
work in promoting the use of cocaine
and morphine" said the doctor. estate
laws are not saving the public from
the grip of the drug habit, and the
American public is sinking tighter
and tighter into the black abyss OF
the morphine and cocaine fiend
"The worst of it is that the impor
tation of opium into the country is
becoming larger and larger year by
year. l have heard it said on reliable
authority that 80 per cent. of the CO
caine and morphine manufactured in
this country is used by persons who
have formed the habit through doc
tors prescriptions"
Almost simultaneously with DR.. Keb
ler's address, DR.. J. A. Patterson, at
Grand Rapids. Michigan, in public
statement said that 10 out of every &c
patients who come to an institution
with which he is connected for treat
ment for the drug habit owe thei1
