Will be almost impossible to raise early
plants successfully in the hotbed. The
windbreak should be about five feet
away from the north side of the frame.
The heating material for the hotbed
should be horse manure fresh from the
stable, to which should be added, when
accessible, one-half Its bulk OF forest
leaves. IL these are not available straw
or hay may be used. The manure and
added material is to be thoroughly
mixed and formed into n conical heap
to undergo fermentation. In the for
nation of this heap 1t should be trod-
den down in successive layers OF
foot in depth until the heap is four
feet or more in height. The base OF
the heap should be of sufficient diane
ter to insure good fermentation In the
severest winter weather. All the ma
terial used for heating should be well
dampened before putting it I'm the pile
or the fermentation will not be evenly
distributed. Care must be taken that
no frozen material Is put in the heap

Celery Storage.

Hotbeds and cold frames are quite
satisfactory for storing celery. They
may either be dug out deeper or have
another set of boards on top to give
the required height. The plants are
set In the frame close together and
then covered with boards Tapped to
shed rain. In very cold localities such
frames are covered with sash, over
which are mats covered with boards.
Ventilation must be given on warm
days by blocking up the sash. Celery
Is also stored satisfactorily I'm trenches,
with the boards used in blanching nall
ed In V shape and placed over the top.
IL warm weather follows the troughs
are blocked up to admit air. When
frost comes a light furrow is thrown
up along the boards and later manure
Is thrown over them, but this trench
plan is usually adopted when the crop
Is to be sold early I'm the winter. Tops
OF celery should always be dry when
It is stored, and some soil is lifted with
the plants. It must be stored before
hard freezing.

Caked udder in cows is also common

1t is frequent trouble, especially In
cold weather, often due to Catching

usually appear soon after calylng, and
many complications often ensue, some
times resulting in a damaged quarter.
Since COWS are so high priced it is

TREATING A HOG FOR CHOLERA.
There are several different methods
for minimizing hogs or making them
immune TO cholera. Illumination
consists I'm bringing about the presence
OF what are called immune bodies in
the blood. They enable the animal to
resist such cholera germs as enter the
system. These immune bodies are
present in the blood OF hogs that have
recovered from cholera. Such animals
are sometimes called "immunes"
A hog that has been treated with
hog cholera serum without exposure to
cholera ut the same time does not
form any protective substances or I'm
mune bodies OF its own. 1t IS render
ed immune for n short time (three
weeks to two months), due TO the pres
ence OF the protective substances in
jected. Such treatment is known as
the single or serum only" method.
When IL Is desired to make a hog
permanently immune and there Is no
cholera yet I'm the herd &c is necessary
that hog cholera germs be introduced
into his system simultaneously with
the serum, which protects the hog
from the cholera germs injected. This
Is accomplished by the Introduction
into the hogs body OF small amount
OF virus. Virus Is the germ laden
blood obtained from a hog sick with
cholera. 1t is injected at the same
time with the serum, but with sep
arate syringe. By this method the hog
Is enabled to develop enough protec-
tive substances of its own to render Il
permanently immune. This is known
as the double or serum virus" method

GENERAL FARM NOTES.

Seed corn should always be stored on
the ear. II should never be put into
boxes. barrels or sacks.
In the making Of cheese Il should
be turned In the hoops IN the morning
and kept well pressed until about noon.
Good results are obtained by pressing
two days.
The lack Of a manure spreader and
other things OF the kind has driven
many a boy away from the farm.
Farming can be made drudgery for
the bay, but Il need not be 50. Look at
the question Of farm implements from
the boys standpoint II the financial ad.

Preventive Treatment With Serum Has
Proved Successful.
The university farm OF Minnesota

hog cholera and IT'S preventive treat

CLEANED:
Hog cholera has been recognized as
a specific contagious disease OF swine
for about 100 years. The first authen-
ucated outbreak I'm this country occur
red In 1888. when large numbers OF
hogs in Ohio died from disease which
answers the description OF hog cholera
as we now know IL.
This highly contagious disease has
caused the loss OF millions OF dollars
annually. II has been estimated that
the losses during 1912 reached $4,000
600. One state alone is said TO have
sustained a loss OF $l0.OOO,O00 from
this dread disease In 1912.
1t has been recently discovered that
well hogs may be treated (vaccinatedD
with hog cholera serum so that they
will not take the disease IL exposed
later. Such treatment Is called immu-
nization. This method of treatment
has passed the experimental stage and
