Hot-beds in old manure yard full Of
The most profitable vegetable crops
are those grown out of season. The
hotbed is the most efficient and
cheapest device for growing plants
out of their normal season of growth.
Hotbeds may be used for maturing
vegetable crops during the fall and
winter months and for starting yege-
tables early in the spring. Certain
vegetables are very tender and easily
killed by frosts, so that they have to
be grown in hotbeds and later trans
planted in the open field when dam
ger from frost is past.

have two separate hotbeds OF have a
partition in a single hotbed to provide
proper temperatures for the different
plants. The temperature is regulated
by ventilation and watering, and de-
pends on the proper tamping and fill
ing of the hotbed with fresh horse
manure.
Watering requires the greatest
amount of skill and judgment. It is
best to water plants thoroughly once
a week or when the plants actually
need watering, being careful to sat
urate the soil thoroughly. A daily
surface sprinkling Of the plants and
soil in the hotbeds develops dampins
off fungous disease and causes the
plants to develop a spindling, sickly

growth. Watering should be done in
the morning to enable plants to dry
off before night, because dampness Of
leaves and darkness favor the devel-
opment of fungous diseases.
The amount of sunshine and cloudi-
ness will have to be taken into con-
sideration when giving proper water
ing and ventilation. The main pur-
pose is to produce a steady and CON
tinuous growth in order to develop
healthy and stocky plants, which will
stand transplanting with the least
amount of detrimental results. 1t is
best to SOW all the vegetable seeds
in rows, care being taken not to SOW
the seeds too thickly. AS soon as true
leaves have formed, the plants are
ready to transplant.
A hotbed is Indispensable in a home
garden. 1t may be used for the grow
ing of vegetables as we'll as flowers.
All plants to be transplanted are
usually started six weeks before plant
ing out in the open field. A hotbed
6x12 feet will produce enough plants
of different vegetables for a garden
50x100 feet.

In raising poultry it is necessary to
provide conditions as nearly natural
as possible. With unlimited range at
the farmers disposal there is no need
for him to crowd his poultry into
small yards, Limited range encum-
bered with large numbers of division
fences makes it impossible to give
the poultry yards proper cultivation.
This causes them to become filthy
and insanitary, a condition which is
responsible for most poultry diseases.
The success of poultry enterprises is
usually measured by the extent Of
range provided for the purpose. Com
mercial plants which depend upon
small yards are usually short-lived.
Better sanitary conditions would help
the farmer to obtain more satisfac-
tory results.

Corn Versus Oats for Work Mules.
The following is the result of an ex-
pertinent at the college of agriculture
of the University Of Missouri on the
feeding OF corn and oats to mules:
Mules receiving corn and hay main
tanned good health and appetites as
did the mules receiving oats and hay.
Mules receiving corn and hay en-.
dured hard work in hot weather as
well as those receiving oats and hay.
Mules receiving corn and mixed
hay maintained their weight slightly
better than did the mules fed oats
and mixed hay.
No difference in spirit could be de
tected in the different lots Of mules.
Mature mules required 8 per cent
more grain and IA per cent more hay
to approximately maintain live weight
when fed oats and mixed hay than
when fed corn and mixed hay.
The mules receiving corn and

Sheep and hogs do well when pas,
tured on sweet clover. In a feeding
experiment with lambs at the Wyo-
ming agricultural experiment station
sweet clover hay compared very ia
yorably with alfalfa and the lambs
ate the sweet clover hay almost as
readily as they did the alfalfa hay.
One Of the chief values of sweet
clover is as a soil builder. The plant
has the power of growing on extreme
ly poor soils and obtaining its nitro
gen largely from the air. The use OF
this crop for soil-improvement pur,
poses alone would justify it's growth
in many sections of the central west.

EerttIlzlna Peach frees.


Nitrogen helps peach trees. An ex-
pertinent at the college Of agriculture
Of the University of Missouri showed
that where nitrogen was applied to
peach trees good crops We're harvest
ed. On plots receiving no fertilizer
there was practically no crop. There
was likewise d failure OF peaches in
the surrounding region where no fer
tilizer was applied. The cold winter
of 1911-12 was disastrous to peach
trees in Missouri. Injury to peach
trees, caused by the cold, so weak
ened their vitality that disease like
the bacterial shot hole leaf disease
was common. On the plots fortified
with nitrogen there was little bac-
terial disease. On adjacent unferti-
lized plots the injury from this cause
was very great. The trees in the plots
fortified with nitrogen also recov-
cred from winter injury much more
successfully and quickly than infer
tilted trees in the same locality.
