CONSTRUCTION or HoTBEDs
Objection ls Made to Digging Trench
Because Of the Waste Of Time
and Good Fertilizer.

Having read several gentlemen's
Ideas about the construction of hot
beds, thought would give my expe-
rience. One man in contemporary
paper says to dig a trench two feet
deep and fill with manure. Now that is
a waste Of time and manure, says a
writer in Farm Life and Epitomist. ]
have been making hotbeds for 16
years and never fail to have plenty Of
good stocky plants. ! use the follow
ing method:
Mark out space about fifteen inches
larger all around on the top Of the
ground than the frame is to be. Put
ON about ten inches Of good fresh
horse manure, keep it well packed
by putting on a few inches at time
and then tramp down solid with the
feet, until you have the required ten
inches. Put on your frame, pack ma
nure around up level with the top.
now put about four inches Of dirt on
the manure and put ON the sash for
a few days until the bed becomes
thoroughly warm. Then get board

from this plan. Keep sash on close on

The objection to the trench is that
If we have heavy rains the hole will

Beds to transplant tomatoes can
be made by the same method as

feet wide and the length Of the house
depends on the number Of pens want
ed. The windows in the high roof face
south and provide sunlight in the
north pens One or two open windows
will furnish plenty Of ventilation but
no direct draughts.
1t is a good plan to make the in
terror partitions of movable panels. IL
the posts in the framing are set six
feet apart they can be made to serve
as corners for the pens. Swinging
doors hinged at the top are the most
desirable as they are closed at all
times. The accompanying sketch
shows good way to make them. The
hogs soon learn. to push them when
passing in or out.
Concrete makes the best flooring but
is very cold for hogs to sleep on. A
good supply of short bedding. or a
plank overlap, will overcome this OBJ
lection. At the end Of the house handi-
est to reach with a wagon. the space
for one pen may be set aside for feed

FEED FOR GROWING PuLLETs


When 1t is necessary to move the
chicks from the brooder house to
quarters where they may be properly
developed, they should be given q
large tract Of ground where they can
get all the exercise that is SO essen
tial to their development. They
should be made to work for all the
things that they get. excepting one
feed each day, that is given them
about four p. m. or course, this plan
will not succeed If they are placed
in q bare field where there is no
green food for them, and where there
is almost no chance for them to BE-
cure any bugs and worms.
A mixture Of two-thirds wheat and
one-third cracked corn ID given them
in the afternoon at the time men
toned above. and this should be fed
in suficient quantities 90 that they
win all have enough. II any is left
over, the pullets will make short work
of It In the morning. Each colony
house is furnished with hoppers that
are filled with large quantity Of
mash, and these hoppers are never
allowed to become empty. A hopper
for grit, charcoal and oyster shell is
also In each house. and the same care
should be taken that these are kept
flied. The section containing char
coal is particularly important. as this
is one Of the best medicines that are
used In the poultry yard.
Pure water is also essential and
should be carefully watched. 1t would
be q good plan to sprinkle small
amount Of lime near the door of each
house. Another good plan for the
health. of the flock is to put a small
amount of salt, carefully ground with
no Jumps, in the mash about once
each week.-R. v. B.

NOTES OF THE POULTRY YARD
Contaminated Ground Is Frequently
Cause Of Disease-Plenty Of Range
10 Of Importance.

Feed abundance, with variety.
Growing chicks need plenty OF
range.
Grit enables the gizzard to prepare
the food for digestion.
Exercise produces warmth, produces
pleasure and promotes health.
Abundance. without variety, will
wear the breeding stock out quickly.
The chicks constitution is made be-
fore the egg that is Matched is laid.
The richer the fowls ration in pro-
tein. the more water will be required
in digestion.
Soiled and contaminated ground is
a frequent source of disease among
the young chicks.
Food cannot produce good results
unless fowls have good air. Impure
air causes the digestive organs to be-
come sluggish.
Hens will eat great quantity Of
;oal cinders. and they are very good
for them. Try putting load In the
chicken yard. and watch the results.

Red Seals and Christmas gifts.

A big-hearted purchaser of Red
Cross seals in a southern city recently
complained because the seals did not
come in sheets larger than 100. He
had prepared a Christmas package for
his daughter and had conceived the
idea that he would wrap it entirely In
Christmas seals. AS the present was
bulky, the sheets OF 100 were not sdf-
ficient. He solved his problem, how
ever, by pasting several sheets Of seals
on large piece Of wrapping paper, in
which he inclosed his daughters gift.

THE CHRISTMAS DINNER.

To serve dinner with but one pair
Of hands for the work requires care
ful planning and forethought. or the
hundreds who are supplied with sery-
ants to do the work Of preparation
there are tens Of thousands who have
all Of the work to do themselves. Such
foods as fruit cake buildings and mince
meat can be prepared many days in adj
vance and the relocating and prepare
tion OF sauce will, solve the dessert
question. There is always much to be
seen to when giving a dinner SO that
every possible thing that can be done
the day before should be out of the
way. Hothouse flowers are not con-
sidered quite the thing for Christmas
table so one may with a little taste
arrange fruit centerpiece Santa Claus
or small Christmas tree for that i'm
portant feature.
Cranberry jelly will keep several
days and molds all the better for
standing in the cold. The Injuries
which are In season are not too ex-
pensive for fine dinner. Christmas
dinner would not be quite right with
out the oysters, goose and plum pud-
ding.
Mayonnaise for the salad, hard sauce
for the pudding, il used, may be made
the day before. The giblets may be
cooked and chopped ready for the
gravy the day before.
One OF the prettiest salads for win
ter dinner is that made Of apples, nuts
and celery put into beautiful apple
cups. The pretty red apples may be
polished. slice cut bff from the stem
end, and the apple scooped out with q
sharp edged spoon. Put in the salad
and put on the lid. Try to keep the
stem in 1t for handle. II raw oysters
are served for the first course use to-
mato soup. II oyster soup is the first
course. which is simple to manage
alone, the meat course may follow. 1t
IS far better to have fewer courses
than to serve roast hostess at the first
course.
