A plan that might be used follows ;---.
one sash 10 radish 10 mature, and
beets for transplanting in alternate
rows G inches apart; another 10 let
tuce .-head and loose leaf, same dis
lance; the third tomato. cabbage, Gel
cry, cauliflower, eggplant. pepper,
brussels sprouts. etc,-to be transplant
ed; and the last one to squash, cucum-
Der, beans or melons, planted in-rots
or berry boxes
Ventilation and watering are very
important. During bright days the
sun shining on the glass will heat the
interior very quickly and it will be ne
cessary TO raise the sash TO allow the
hot air to escape. Care should be
taken in vcntlating to avoid draft
Of cold air; raise sash on side opposite
the wind, being careful TO close early
in the afternoon. Ventilate to change
the air even IL the sun does not shine.
Watering should be done in the morn
ing on bright days and followed by
ventilation TO dry the foliage. Thor
ough watering is more satisfactory
than frequent shallow ones.
Plants grown under glass to be
transferred to the open ground must
be hardened to outdoor conditions. To
do this leave the sash off nights when
there is no danger Of frost. Plants in
boxes or pots may be set in the cold
frame where the sash or cloth can be
put on in case Of danger of frost, or
set out in the open where they will
be more thoroughly exposed to the
wind and weather.

HOTBED A HELP TO
A GOOD GARDEN.

A hotbed is sash covered enclo
sure supplied with bottom heat, usu
ally from fermenting stable manure t,
keep the air and soil warm. 1t il
time the hotbed was in operation ant
the seed planted; an early start means
good strong plants when the garden j.
ready.
The hotbed should face South, b.
protected from the North ard Wes
winds, on well drained soil, near 6
water supply, ard convenient to house.
or barn. The simplest construction is
the cheapest; frame made of mater.
ial one inch thick consisting of back
board IL feet long and 10 inches wide
a front board II feet long, IL inches
wide and two end boards 6 feet long
IL inches wide and made to fasten at
corners with hooks.
Dig a pit large enough to hold this
frame; make it 10 inches deep at the
front or south side, gradually rising
to inches deep at the back. The
back board of the frame will rest on
the bottom of pit and front board,
supported by stakes, will be four inch
es from pit bottom.
Eight inches of good hot manure
tramped solid, with four inches of
rich, sandy soil over it will give good
results, providing the bed IS well bank
ed, heat Of sun utilized and plenty of
good covering used. A thick covering
of swale or salt hay over the glass
before the sun goes down and removed
at nine o'clock in the morning will
keep conditions right for plantgrowth.
This bed will take four sash, each
by feet, and will require two cross
bars to keep the sides from springing
in. The surface of the soil will be 6
inches from the glass at the back and
4 inches at the front. Two days after
the seed may be sown with
safety, and the garden requirements
will govern the use of the four sash.
