The sash should be raised Ire quently to bower he temperature and to permit gases to escape A. thermometer should ilang on the side of the frame where 1t can be seen easily. Sow the seed when the thermometer shows the temperature to be 80 or s5. Close attention to water ing and ventilation must be given. The soil should not be allowed to dry out nor yet to become water soaked. It is best to water early in the day, so the plants will dry off by night and minimize chances of danapdng off.
 Hotbeds are sometimes started as early as January, hut this Is hazardous in the northern states, as the manure may be- come spent before the cold has departed Usually March IS the month to start hot beds.
 It is easy to make homemade hotbeds but there are also frames knocked down with the sash all ready to be shipped ano SC up, on the market.

COLONIAL EVENING PROGRAM
BY ART STUDENTS A

On Monday evening the Norwich Art Students Association enjoyed a program of unusual interest.
 Under the direction of . committee composed of Miss Elizabeth Hunting ton, Mrs. Boen Learned, Mrs John D. Hall, Mrs. A. A. Browning and Miss Edith Rockwell. The small lecture room at Slater Hall had been transformed in- to a well furnished New England kit chen with the wide hearth and low cell ing typical of Colonial days. The set tie by the fire, the Dutch oven. the old fashioned cradle, the fowling-piece that was used at Lundy's Lane, the choice pewter, the candlesttcks, and the home spun linen were all very interesting. Miss Alics Browning, clad in the we'd ding gown of an ancestor, operated the

BURN UP LAST YEARS PESTS.

In getting ready to make garden this spring, it is an excellent plan to see that all the stalks of last years vegetables which may have been left standing are removed and burned. :;
 In the first place the ashes. will make good fertilizer as the stems of nearly all vegetables contain excellent fertil- .zing material in their ash, and an. even more important 'conlaidera4on is that by removing and destroying them the insect pests are likely to be checked.
 Many insect pests find refuge under boards. among the dried leaves or stalks over winter. Often the spores of fungus diseases which create havoc are only waiting in these old stems-to get Into ac7

CORN snAGE 1NvBsrraAT1oNs.

Two and a half years ago we had well under way our plans for starting an investigation of the feeding value of maturing silage corn with the ranker growing type which does not mature in many parts of the state, writes Prof. White of the Connecticut Agricultural College at Storrs. The loss of the main barn made it necessary to postpone the feeding trials for year. A report on the first years work was presented in full at the college during the Farmers meetings last summer. It showed clear ly that mature corn silage has higher feeding value pound for pound or ton for ton and that a saving of four or five pounds of grain was effected for each hundred pounds of milk produced. It also showed clearly that the large i'm mature variety produced more milk per acre because of its enormous yield of dry matter in the stalks and leaves. We are not ready to say which of the two will produce the most profit per acre. These trials are being repeated this winter
 The conduct of this sflage feeding ex- pertinent furnishes splendid illustra- tion of the amount of work involved in experimentation. Twelve cows were on the experiment. Each was weighed daily for 120 to 40 days. Each day the average weight Of the preceding ten days was determined and these weights were plotted on charting paper for each animal this weight being used as the guide for the amount Of grain to be fed to each. Each kind of feed was an- alyzed. weighed to each animal accur- ately daily and the amount recorded. The milk was weighed daily and an alyzed each ten-day period. Numerous calculations from these records were then made upon each COW and the whole finally summarized by groups. All Of this sort of thing requires close super vision and hours of detailed work.
