CONSTRUCTION OF HOTBEDs
Objection Is 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 l 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 EpitoEnist
have been making hotbeds for 16
years and never fail to have plenty of
good stocky plants. I 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 a 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 a board

JEALOUSY ON THE FRONTIER
How Carefully European Countries
Guard Their Borders Is Shown
by This incident.

frontier incident occurred re
Gently when a lieutenant of the aero
plane fleet at Posen. Germany, was
taking part in scouting practice early
in the morning. A slight fog arose
and a few minutes later the rattle of
musketry and a hole in the wing Of
his machine showed that he had been
espied by the Russian sentinels. The
lieutenant thought it advisable to
descend. and had q very friendly re
ception from the Russian captain,
who regretted that he was unable to
settle the affair himself, and must
take the aviator and his machine to
headquarters 20 miles away. There
being no railways. the lieutenant fore
saw long delay, and proposed as a
shorter and pleasanter method that
the Russian captain should accom-
pany him Jhither on his machine, If
not forbidden by the regulations. The
regulations apparently did not provide
for such case, and the Russian cap

A Swinging Door.

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. II
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 a 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 overlay, 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
bins.
