sun is particularly hot, put the cover

When danger of frost is at hand,
put the cover frames on every night

when the weather gets still colder,
leave these cover frames on all the
time. You will be surprised at the
excellent crop of late vegetables you
will have when all your neighbors'
gardens are desolate.
II YOU want to have vegetables all
through the winter, you must replace
the cloth frames with glass about NO

string beans and onions, can be had

A Cold Frame for Fall.

1t is really remarkable what results
can be had in the garden long after
the frost comes, by the use of prop
erly built cold frame. The most salts
factory frame we have used is made in
sections, three by six feet--the mum
Der of sections to be used depending
on how much space you want to de-
vote to late plants.
The cold frame is nothing more
than four boards nailed together to
make the sides, and ii should slope
slightly toward the south. This is
then covered with sash, made of light
wood, covered with cloth. Water
proof material may be gotten for this
latter from most of the large seed
stores, and is preferable on account
of its durability.
Success with cold frames in the fall
depends on getting your plant well
started before the frosts come. A
good plan is to build your frame work,
and good size would be six by twelve
feet. This would require four cloth
frames TO cover It, and the total ex-
pense should not exceed five dollars
for materials. Inside this inclosure
