1t will soon be time for starting the
hotbed and if you are planning to
have one this spring you must make
your plans at once, The hotbed is a
convenient method for starting seeds,
and forcing vegetables and Towering
plants ahead of their ordinary regu-
lar season.
1t is really an auxiliary to the gar
den. 1t is easily constructed, and
simple and inexpensive to manage.
If there is no room to spare for gar
dening purposes, the hotbed can still
be resorted to and depended upon as
partial substitute, and vegetables
or flowers started in it can be left
to mature in the frame.
Now is the time to decide upon
just what seeds to plant, and to order
them from a reliable seed merchant.
Do not depend upon old seed or seeds
of unknown quality. Secure several
catalogues and select such varieties
as are recommended for forcing
The difference between hotbed
and a coldframe is that the former
Is supplied with bottom heat. This
heat may be obtained from artificial
sources, such as hot-water pipes,
steam pipes, or hot-air fiues from
the cellar But it is ordinarily sup
piled by the process of fermenting
manure. Sometimes other ferment-
Ing material is available, like leaves
or tanbark.
Two weeks previous to the time the
hotbed is to be started the manure
which is to furnish the necessary heat
should be prepared. The manure
must be fresh and as uniformly so
as is possible to secure. 1t is best to
get it from a livery stable and it
should contain about 80 per cent. of
long straw. The quantity should not
be skimped, and should be sufficient
to fill the pit and allow for banking
against the outside of the frame
The manure should be piled in a
convenient place, where it can be
turned, spaded and worked over very
thoroughly, daily. Keep the pile well
banked and compact, and protect it
il ON the weather by a covering of
boards or tarpaulin. 1t should be
kept moist by occasional applications
OF lukewarm water, to prevent dry
fns- out This daily turning is neces-
esIy in order to prevent burning, and
ct the same time to cause and pro-
mote uniform fermentation. 1t also
aerves to make a good, even mixture
and texture
When the manure pile is steaming
uniformly throughout it is in proper
condition to be placed into the pit of
the hotbed. After the pit mas been
carefully cleaned cover the bottom
with layer of any coarse material
to the depth of several inches. This
is intended as a bed to keep the
heated manure from direct contact
with the cold ground. 1t is used in
the nature of an insulator.
Spread about six inches of the pre-
pared manure in the pit at a time,
and lamp each layer down very
firmly and evenly. Repeat this oper-
alton until the pit is filed to the sur
face of the ground. On top of the
last layer of manure place a thin
layer of leaf-mold, or other material
of porous nature. that will serve
as a distributor of the heat, and.
finally, ON top of this place a layer
of. from four to six inches of good,
mellow garden loan, in which the
seeds are to be planted. A soil ther-
mometer should be pushed through

| the loan into the manure, and the
sash put in its place.
] 1t is wise and common practise to
| pile manure. around the outside OF
| the frame, or throw up bank OF
! earth against 1t. as an additional pro-
lection. Straw mats, mating and
boards are also placed over the sash
to prevent loss of heat during very
cold nights, or when the weather is
| unusually severe.
In few days the temperature with
in the hotbed will rise pretty high,
but will soon begin to drop; and when
it is below eighty degrees most of the
seeds can be planted. Cucumbers,
squash, elephants, tomatoes and pep
pers are known as warm plants, and
| their seed may be sown at this tenn
perature They require a night tenn
perature of from fifty to sixty degrees
and a day temperature of from sew
enty to eighty degrees.
| When the temperature falls to sew
| enty degrees in the new hotbed, the
seeds of the so-called cooler plants
may be sown. This class includes the
cabbage, cauliflower, celery and let
tuce. They do nicely with tempera-
ture of from 40 to so degrees at night
and from As to go degrees during the
day.
F Separate hotbeds are recommended
for these two divisions of plants. The
seeds should not all be planted at one
time. 1t is better to allow ten-day
intermission for a second sowing, to
permit of succession of produce.
1t is unnecessary to disturb the hot
bed until the seeds have sprouted.
Then they will require careful water
with a fine spray, and regular daily
ventilation. The ventilation should
h. or
in the morning and, say $3.50 or 4
O'Clock in the afternoon.
The watering must be done during
the morning, preferably on sunny
days 1t should be done thoroughly
but, the soil must not become soggy
or pasty Just keep it moist. If the
vapor caused by the heat and
moisture condenses on the under side
of the glass, it should be overcome
by raising one end of the sliding sash
and placing a small block of wooo
under 1t to hold it open.
1 The seedlings should be thinned oui
after they are about half an incl
high Allow from one-half to ONT
? inch space between them. Under M
/ circumstances should the seedlings b.
permitted to crowd themselves, Of
spindling plants will result.
When the seedlings have started Il
form their third or fourth leaf they
should be transplanted to another
part of the hotbed or into another
hotbed. They do far better, how
ever, when transplanted into small
two, three or four-inch pots. The
. pots should then be plunged or in
| serted in the soil to the level of then
brims. Paper pots may also be USED
for this purpose, and are compare
! lively inexpensive.
Celery should be transplanted but
| two inches apart at first, but the
other plants should have twice this
distance between them. In trans
planting the seedlings do not touch
them witbythe hands, but remove then
with a. fiat, narrow bladed knife
taking some of the soil with them
and avoid exposing or unnecessarily
disturbing the tender rootlets. Pep.
pers and aggplants are very sensitive
about their root system.

A controlling factor in profitable
poultry culture is environment. y By
environment is meant all of the ex-
ternal conditions or surroundings to
which fowls are subjected. 1t is a
factor which is always acting for
good or bad, and which is under the
direct control of man. 1t is evident
tha+ If a poultryman expects to keep
his birds in perfect health and in
duce them to lay q goodly number of
eggs, or to put on flesh proftably. he
must study their needs, and surround
them with conditions which induce
contentment. 1t is the happy. con-
tented, comfortable flock which soon
brings satisfaction. pride and dollars
to their owner, and contentment is
based primarily upon congenial sur
roundings, saws Professor Harry
! REYNOLDS Lewis, of the New Jersey
State College of Agriculture at New
| Brunswick in Suburban Life Maya
zine for March in discussing tbs
subject of poultry house building.
The function of the poultry house
| is to provide the birds with protec-
| ton from the elements, and to dc
| this economically, at the same time
providing those factors which mean
health and vigor.
/ A congenial environment means
plenty of fresh air, absolute dryness
protection from cold. room for ex-
| ercise, abundance of sunlight, ano
| protection from rats and vermin.
If the fowls are to perform theil
normal BODY functions to their fullest
/ degree, an abundant supply of oxygen
| is essential. In the winter, when a
| large number of layers are crowded
| together in close quarters. this is es-
pecially important. and very often
neglected. Fresh air can best be ad-
rlitted by the use of muslin-coYered
| frames, which hinge and can be let
down over large openings provided
in the front wall. Such curtains al
low at all times the fresh air to
pass in and the impure air to pass
out, the change taking place without
drafts or rapid movement of the air,
the muslin acting as sieve or buf-
fer
The two kinds of moisture which
are apt to be present in poultry
house, If it is not properly built are
condensation moisture and seepage
through the floor and dampen the
litter. The first is caused by the con-
densation of the atmospheric mois
ture on the ceilings and rafters, where
IL may be seen hanging in drops or
beads Such a condition can be avoid
ed by having sufficient head room and
plenty of ventilation. Much of this
atmospheric moisture comes from the
breath exhaled by the birds, and II
this is carried off Immediately and re-
placed with fresh dry air no conden-
sation takes place. The second type
of moisture can be entirely avoided
by a good subgrade of cinders about
ten inches thick under the foundation
and floor.
owing to an exceptionally rapid cir
culation and an abundance of feath-
ering, the domestic hen is especially
well protected from extremely cold
weather conditions. 1t is a well-dem-
onstrated fact that birds will stand a
cold temperature well if provided with
fresh air and freedom from drafts;
much better, in fact, than they will
stand a warmer temperature. if the

they will carry off If given a chance
To breed and become abundant
around the plant The cost of a
good concrete floor is often more
than saved in one year by the pro-
lection which it gives from this one
cause alone. The interior eonstruc-
ton of the house should be made as
plain as possible, all boards being
planed and tongued and grooved,
with joints driven close. This smooth
surface offers few hiding places TO
mice, and makes it possible to easily
and quickly give the house thor
ough cleaning.
For the average suburban poultry
man wishing to keep a few hens for
family use and to keep in touch with
the forces of Nature, a small house
with a capacity of from ten to twenty
hens is sufficient. Such a house can
be made neat, attractive and eeo-
nomieal by following these specifi-
cations.

dalton or constructed on two 3X12-

two shoots should be trained TO a
stake or spread horizontally on a
trellis and left to grow during the
summer. They are the canes which
are to form the permanent arms Of
the vine. They wiz bear the upright
shoots from which the fruit of sue
ceeding years is to be obtained. From
now on the principle TO be remem-
bered in pruning grapes is that the
fruit never grows on last years wood.
but always on the new wood of the
present seasons growth, which
springs from wood grown the pre-
eeding season. The fruit is borne
near the base Of the shoots. Each
shoot should bear only two to six
clusters, but only Va limited number
of clusters-from thirty TO eighty
should be allowed 10 develop on one
vine. The pruning is done any time
from December to March. If vine
g strong enough to bear thirty cius-
tiers of grapes, about fifteen buds
should be left at pruning time, and
If strong enough 10 bear eighty clus-
tiers, forty buds should be left.
With these principles IN mind, it
will be seen that the essential opera
ton In pruning grapes is to cut back
limited number Of the best eane>
to q few buds each season and en-
tlrely remove the others. The more
usual method at the present time is
to cut the canes back to eight to ten
buds and to leave but three or four
canes, all of which should start from
near the head or trunk of the vine.
New arms should be taken out from
year to year as the bearing wood gets
farther away from the trunk.

In the greenhouse one-eyed cut
tings from partly-ripened wood are
used. Flowering wood seems to give
the best plants. Hardy kinds can be
rooted by taking cuttings three or
four inches long in the fall, tying
them in bundles and storing in damp
sand in cool place until spring,
when they are planted outdoors in
nursery rows. Cuttings two or three
inches long from hardy kinds can
also be rooted, II taken now and put
in the greenhouse cutting-bench.

AS a utility fowl the Barred Plym-
outh Rock has been on trial for over
half a century and has yet to be sur
passed. The Barred Rock has the
hest staying qualities of any variety
and forms a basis of comparison for
other breeds. New breeds are intro

thing new grow enthusiastic, but

buildings of the large fairs and stand
near the display of Barred Rocks
and as the great crowds surge
through the aisles note the number OF
times the expression is used, THAT

favorite." Every one knows the
Barred Rock and comes upon it as an
old friend, while many of the other
varieties are viewed merely as a mat

the highest value as table fowl, but

delicate flavor that will suit the taste
of the most fastidious.
A person can raise Barred Rocks
and still be on good terms with his

and easily confined. Seemingly unaf-

North or the hot summers of the
South. they thrive in any climate, re-

While pre-eminently utility bird,
the popularity of the Barred Rock in
the showroom is demonstrated by
the large classes always found there
practically always outnumbering any
other variety. The Exhibition Barred

amples of obstacles overcome and the
progress possible through studied, in

Barred Rock male is one of the great
est triumphs in the breeding art
Many breeds are hard to breed to
color, and for that reason are unpop-

A few years study gives all the ex-
perience necessary to produce the de-
sired shape and coloring, and it is a
delight to grow superb specimens in
their great strength and character.
Four essentials for successful poul-
try keeping are: Proper housing.
proper feeding, proper care and the
