The standard size of a hotbed sash is
3 feet by 6 feet. so your subframe will
be feet in width and some multiple of
three feet in length.
A good size for an amateur will re-
quire four sashes to cover It, being 3
feet in width and 12 feet long. CThere
are two sashes to each frame).
With a hotbed this size you will be
able to raise an enormous amount OF
fresh vegetables and flowers. Do not
attempt to build the frames, for they
can be purchased already made for much
less than 1t will cost to make them.
Paint the sashes in order to preserve
them. and II is not necessary to sup
ply hinges, for their own weight will
keep them in position.
When the frame is prepared, procure
a quantity of fresh fertilizer and mix
with 1t half the quantity OF dry leaves.
II there is much straw with it this
will not be necessary.
Two cubic yards will be required for
each sash. for 1t must be packed very
solidly. Allow the fertilizer to ferment
for several days, and then work it over
well. Then a second fermentation will
take place, and after two or three days
the mixture may be scattered in the hot
bed frame.

6 TO 10 inches deep. and should contain a
certain amount OF sand so that it will not

The seeds are then planted, and will
quickly appear above the surface. Some
gardeners prefer TO sow the seeds in
shallow boxes, or flats, which are then
placed in the hotbed. This is not nee

\ Every one lived in fear of the moose,
until the Great Bear said that they must
find a way to save themselves from him:
| the bear called a council: and when the
animals were all gathered. he got up and
| said:
agree with me. will go and talk with the
Yunwi Tsunsdi about this big moose:
will ask them to show me a way to make
ourselves safe from his great feet and
| his great teeth"
GO at once"' the animals all shouted,
and the Great Bear set of to visit the
Yunwi Tsunsdi
81 will send a messenger with you"
said the chief Of the Yunwt Tsunsdi
and then the bear came back with one
OF the little fairies riding on his back.
As they came through the woods they
listened for the footsteps OF the great
moose.
Far away they heard the sound of
trees falling, and they knew the moose
was coming. Then the little fairy got
down from the Great Bears back and
ran to get a strip OF birch bark. This
strip OF birch bark the fairy rolled in the
shape of a horn and began to blow into
II so that the sound was like the voice
OF the moose.
Nearer came the great moose. while
the little fairy blew into his horn of
birch bark; when the moose came up 10
where the fairy stood, the fairy became p
great. great giant who stood twice as tall
as the great big moose. This giant went
straight up to the moose and said:
II am going to push you down and down
until you are only twice as tall as the
bear. so that you may live with the other
animals. Also I want you to remember
that you are to be friendly with every
one. and you must come whenever you
hear any one blow into a horn OF birch
bark. as you heard me do just now"
So the messenger from the YUnsi
Tsunsdi pushed the moose down TO the
size he is today; and he still comes at
the call of the blrch-bark horn.

Long time ago the old men among the
Indians who lived in the big forests of
the North used to tell a story to the lit
tie boys and girls who grew very fast
One day an old man would say to a
youngster playing under the trees:
''Ho, little one now grown so big! Come
and stand beside the tree with the marks
ana let me see how much taller you have
crown since the last time you stood
here" Then, while the old man was out
ding a new notch In the tree TO show
how tall that little one had grown. he
would say:
You must be careful. little one. not to
grow too tall; IL you do. I shall have to
call upon the Yunwi TsunsdI the fairy
people Of the woods to do as they did
with the moose in the old time
What did they do with the moose.
then, grandfather" the little one would
ask; and then the old man would tell the
story:
After the animals came down to this
Earth from the world above the sky so
that they might have more room, the
moose, who was young at that time. be-
gan to grow. and went on growing big
ger and bigger. 1t was because there
seemed SO much room in the world that
the moose never thought it was neces-
sary TO stop growing!
He went right on growing bigger and
taller until he grew so big that he had
to reach far down with his mouth In
order to Craze on the tops of the tall
trees. When that time came the moose
thought for the first time that he was
tall enough and big enough. So he
stopped growing.
But while the moose was very well
pleased at his own size, the other ami
mails didn't like II at all. For the great
moose would go walking through the for
ests knocking over the tepees OF the peo-
pie, crashing down the tree-homes Of the
bears and smashing fat the beaver dams
in the streams! Many people and many
animals were stepped on. too. and Killed
by the great moose. though the great
moose himself didn't mean to hurt any
Of them.

 The fleet will consist of IT battle sr pr, 20 torpedo oats and torpedo boat destroyers .an indefinite number o. cruisers. and about ten auxiliary vessels. Only once before has tho I;n ted States mad such 6 large fee. on the Pacific ocean. and that was when the Atlantic fleet and the PacsHf feet were un ted for a short t~n when the forme was on it's famous trip around the world.
 In making this announcement. Mr Roosevelt explained that the assign ment of SO large e fleet of warships tc this coast would only be tempor sry as they could not be spared from the Atlantic for any longer period.
 "To maintain as large a fleet as tha cn this coast. for long time." saie Mir. Roosevelt. would weaken our At lantic defense too much.
