The Vegetable Garden.

1t is now time to plan for the vege-
table garden. Seed catalogues from
the leading seed houses should be OBJ
tanned. Select the varieties best suit
ed to your locality and needs. Plan
so there will be enough vegetables to
supply the table during the summer
and plenty to store away for winter
use.
February is the month to get every
thing ready. Inspect tools, crates,
boxes, and hotbed sash and get them
ready for use. Manure, for early hot
beds should be prepared about the
first of March.
The hotbed should be of such size
as will supply your needs and fit the
winter sash. AS it is warmed by fer
tilizing manure, it must be dug deep
enough to make room for it. Usually
about "a inches in depth is enough
with six inches of rich soil on top OF
that. Fresh horse manure is the best,
although fresh sheep manure may
serve the purpose. 1t should be thrown
into pile as fresh as possible. If it
does not heat readily add few buck
cts of hot water. When it gets well
started it should be turned over,
throwing the outside manure into the
center and breaking up all Jumps. In
a few davs IL will heat auain aud will
then be ready to go into the frames,
but do not put it back until heated
thoroughly. Clear horse manure should
be mixed with its bulk of leaves or
straw. 1t should be broken up fine,
spread and packed evenly in the frame
and now put on the sash. If it does
not start quickly add some warm wa
ter. After it begins to heat level off
the top and put on six inches of rich
soil. Let this lie for few days un-
til all weed seeds are germinated, then
rake it well and it is ready for the
seed. 1t will give off heat five or
six weeks.
The hotbed should face the south,
the north side six inches higher than
the south. 1t should be well ventilat-
ed and watered.
Radishes, lettuce. cress, onions, pep
pers, cabbage, celery, ETC., for trans
planting or table use may be grown
in the hotbed.

learn that it wns on account of the

The only thing we are afraid of is
our ability to make the trucks fast
