to build a hotbed, early radishes and
lettuce may be had by scattering some

will be best If the little plants are re-

apart each way. This method will give

writer was talking the other day, last
year worked a quarter section farm
after several years spent in trying to
work a half section farm. 1t was his
unqualified opinion that he enjoyed
life more last year than he has for
years. and from the money side of it
he was just about as well off. A
whole lot of farmers would do we'll to
cut down the amount Of land they are
working as this man has done. 1t
would be better for the land and the
folks who work it..

Intended for a mushroom bed, but the

were taken up after they had frozen
solid and put in the bed mentioned
just above a layer Of partly heated
horse manure and covered with earth.
The roots were watered once a week
thereafter with warm soapsuds, and
his was all the care they had. The
stalks were an inch and a half thick
when cut, pink and plump, and 1t
made a fellows mouth water to think
Of the pie they would make.
