with the breeding, and management of

lacks have been imported to Kentucky in
siderable numbers and they have been brought
to state of perfection in this commonwealth
to which they have never before attained, and
yet the average Kentuckian knows very little
about jack stock. The remote ancestors of the
jack may be traced to the wilds of Asia and
Africa. The wild animals were brought to
high state of perfection in Spain and the islands
near Spain which are located in the Mediterra-
mean Sea. These Spanish jacks vary in color
from gray to black and in height from ID to Is

been imported to America In the hands of
American breeders they have been fused into

the year 1910. He large jack and pos
sessed considerable coarseness. He was pur-
chased by some Kentucky farmers and walked
through from South Carolina to the blue grass
section and stood in Kentucky during nine
sons. His pedigree is a complete mystery
Among his sons were Buena Vista and Maringo

Mammoth and Tennessee Marriage Mammoth.

This serves to prove the value of the old jack

In Bourbon County close to that section of
Montgomery in which this famous Mammoth
jack lived, there were brought two noted jacks,
Alvarado and Moro Castle. The latter is said
to have cost $4,000. From Alvarado sprang the
Yevertons and from both came many offspring
which aided the Mammoth blood to 60 on pro-

jack stock in this state.
From these few jacks has sprung the great
jack stock industry which has made Kentucky
Missouri, Tennessee and to lesser extent, In
diana and Illinois, famous as mule producing
states.
The tendency to coarseness which the i'm
ported jacks of early days possessed, has in the
hands of American breeders, been greatly re-
fined. An army of intelligent live stock breed
ers deserve credit for having expended great en-
ergy and intelligence in the perfection of the jack
stock. Many of wealth and fame have de-
voted much of their energy and genius to the
improvement of the jack stock of the blue grass
state. Today these animals are as large as ever
and possess much greater smoothness and finish

USING COLD-FRAME
DURING THE WINTER
Ends Are Made Removable So
That Horse and PIoW Can Be
Used in Preparing Soil.

The cold-frame is so called because
there is no artificial heat either from
fire or from fermenting manure as in

simply set on a bed of light and highly
enriched SOIL the higher side toward
the north and the low one to the south
east. 1t is made six feet wide to &C

other sizes are made to order.
Where there Is large number OF

nail the front and back boards to lines
Of posts and have no cross strips, max
ing the ends of the frame removable,
SO that the ground can be prepared
with horse and pillow. prefer to make
the frame of two-inch stuff-north

horse and pillow are to be used.
On the middle OF this piece nail a
parting strip Xxi inch. This holds the
sash from sideway movement when
they are being slipped up or down, or
entirely of, by one man. The cross-bar
also holds the sides together and pre-
vents varying, while the boards are
held by 1t perpendicular to the out
side posts. The cross-bar is plainly
shown In the cut illustrating the two

frame by steel bowels.
The frames are heavily MANFRED

Only a very small hotbed is needed
to start enough plants for a number
of coldframes, which must be used in
order to get strong plants and to hard

ground A simple excavation under
the frame will answer, but it is better
to have the pit lined with plank, as it
can then be cleaned out later and
used for potted plants of later growth,
such as egg plants, that need protec-
ton later than tomatoes and other
things.
The hotbed is frame with a pit ex-
cavated below the surface in which
fresh, trashy manure Is packed. The
manure Is piled few days ahead Of
the time for making the bed and as
it heats it is turned and replied so as
to get it heating uniformly.
Eighteen inches is deep enough, for
a strong hotbed, but If the pit is dug
deeper and foot or more of oak
leaves or similar material are packed
in before the manure is put In the bed
will hold the heat much longer. The
manure must be tramped down uni

inches OF good, mellow soil spread
over it.
