EARLY VEGETABLES
REQUIRE A HOTBED
Best Size Of Sash Is Three by Six
Feet, Making PIT at Least
Two Feet Deep.

II you want early vegetables you
must start them in a hotbed. This is
not difficult to make on the farm.
You can buy a hotbed sash OF any
length and three feet wide. The best
size is 3xe. Dig pit two feet deep.
1t should be protected from the north
and west winds by hillside hedges or
trees. Make a frame of 1A-inch
boards to at the pit. The upper side
should be about six inches higher
than the lower, so that the water
will run of the glass freely. Use 2x3
stun for sash supports across the
frame.
Secure horse manure containing
plenty OF straw and place it in the
bottom OF the pit, tramping down Arm
~ in layers. Soggy, heavy manure
will bake and prove unsatisfactory.
When the bed In filled within six
inches of the top It should have a
springy feeling under foot. When the
bed Is filled place q thermometer in
the middle, pack Il In tightly. close
the frame, and the temperature will
quickly run up to 100 or 120 degrees.
This is too hot for plants and you
must wait till the thermometer shows
about 80 degrees, not lower, before
you plant.
The common way Is 70 place about
six inches Of well-composteA soil on
top of the manure and sow seeds in
that, but the better way ID to SOW
seeds in shallow boxes. filled with
good soil. and place the boxes on
top Of the manure.
These boxes should be about 15x24
inches and two inches deep The
seeds can be sown In them in the
house and the boxes carried to the
hotbed. These little boxes are very
handy, also, in transporting from the
hotbed to the cold frame or direct 70
the garden. The hotbed should be
made about two weeks before the
time to SOW seed. Raise the sash a
little every morning for ventilation.
but do not allow the cold air to blow
