PREPARING EARTH
FOR SMALL FLATS
Plenty of Pebbles or Rough, FL
brous Soil Necessary; Leaf
Mold at the Top.

Perhaps for q majority Of home gar
deners the cigar box or flat in a
south window answers the purpose Of a
hotbed or cold frame. 1t is thorough
ly-tried and tested device of century
long use.
If boxes have not been stored in ad-
vance with supply Of earth, 1t will be
necessary to acquire them and to go
out with a pickax or mattock and pry
loose some frozen clods of earth to
place In the cellar to thaw.
Plenty of pebbles, broken flower
pots, crockery or rough fibrous earth
should be at hand to provide drainage,
for good drainage Is one Of the secrets
in indoor boxes. Bore holes In the
bottom of the box. Over these scatter
the pebbles or pot shreds and upon this
place the coarser soil. The surface
soil must be sifted carefully through
sieve, leveled down and firmed. The
soil used here must be leaf mold OF
its equivalent In texture.
Plant the seeds in rows, crosswise
of the box. Broadcast sowing in win
dow boxes is wasteful. A large por
ton of the plants are destroyed in wa
tering and transplanting, and often
they are so thick they never have O
fair chance to develop.

TO BUILD H0TBED
AND A COLD FRAME
Pit With Fresh Manure Required
for Ore; No Artificial Heat
for Other.

Window boxes will serve for starting
early plants for the very small garden,
but where a considerable number Of to-
mato, cabbage and other plants of this
Character are wanted, 1t is a good plan
to make small hotbed and later a
cold frame for the care of the plants.
Hotbeds raay be constructed In two or
three wigs, points out the United
States Department of Agriculture. One
way is to dig out pit, which is either
walled up with brick, cement or with
boards, and fill this pit with eight to
fourteen inches Of fresh horse manure
to supply the heat; over the manure
Is placed five or six inches Of fine loan
soil, and over this sash or a heavy
muslin cover to keep out the cold.
Another method Is to build small
hue underneath the hotbed and pro
vide heat by burning wood or some
The L'Anse sentinel., 1923-02-16

ting, leaves, straw or something Of
that sort during the cold nights the
most tender plants can be carried
along and grown to considerable size
for setting in the garden.
The plants can either be set directly
in the soil of the cold frame, which
should always be sifted and fairly well
fertilized, or they can be transplanted
into trays with paper bands, or wood
en- bands, or into pots, If available, and
these simply set In the cold frame.
While pot grown plants are desirable.
very good results can be secured by
simply spacing the plants in the soil
Of the cold frame at distances Of four
or Ave inches for tomatoes, peppers
and eggplants, and about two or three
inches apart for lettuce and small
crops. Melons, cucumbers, beans and
corn may all be started in the cold
frame, using berry boxes or wooden or
paper bands for holding the soil. The
berry boxes or plant bands should al
ways be removed when setting the
plants In the open ground.

SELECTING DUCK
FOR MARKET USE
Pekin Is Heavier Than Average
Fowl and Is Favored by
Commercial RaiserS.
GROWS WITH MUCH RAPIDITY
Rouen 10 Also Large Bird, but Has No
Decided Advantaee-Runner 10
Undoubtedly Best Layer,
Although Small.

Those who are thinking of raising
ducks for market can well afford to
take stock of the situation and deter
mine in advance the breed which will
meet market conditions to the best ad-
vantage. There is no profit in rails
Ing breed which Is unsuited for the
purpose which you have in mind.
Pekin Is Best Duck.
The best duck beyond doubt for
market purposes is the Pekin. 1t is
heavier than the average and grows
with such rapidity that the green"
ducks can be marketed to best ad-
vantage when only ten weeks of age.
The Pekin stands at the head Of the
list and is the undisputed leader In all
duck markets, just as the Leghorn
dominates the eggfarm field among
commercial poultry raisers.
Close to the Pekin is the Rouen,
which Is also large duck, but to date
1t seems to have made no marked i'm
preston upon the market. 1t has no
advantages to offer over the Pekin
and, therefore, has made little head
way against 1t.
Runner 10 Best Layer.
For egg production we must turn to
still another variety. The Runner
duck is undoubtedly the best layer of
all the duck tribe. 1t is not out of
the ordinary for these ducks to COM

DOUBLE CROP YIELD IN OHIO
Small Applications Of Ground Lime
stone and Manure of Great Bene-
fit to Rotation.

Small applications of ground lime
stone and shed manure nearly doubled
the yield Of corn, wheat and clover In
rotation on the Ohio experiment sta
ton test farm at Carpenter in the
southeastern part of the state.
Finely ground limestone Is applied
on the wheat ground after plowing at
the rate of 100 pounds per acre. Un-
treated shed manure Is plowed under
for corn at the rate Of five tons to the
acre.
The average increase Of corn for
the period Of 10 years Is 60 per cent ;
for wheat, 92 per cent; and for clover
hay, 10S per cent.
Other experiments suggest that on
most acid soils larger initial applica-
tion of lime is desirable, and that the
time Of applying the lime does not
greatly affect yields.

conas, one male can look after 10 or
1S females with satisfaction. The ex-
tra-large breeds, such as Cochins and
Brahmas, give best results when not
more than eight or ten females are al
lowed to each male.
Often a male penned up with GER
tain number of females will produce
more fertile eggs than like condition
when the birds are on the open range
with other males. When large num-
ber of fowls are permitted to run to-
gether much time Is occupied by the
masculine members of the flock In
fighting in defense Of honor, family
ties, etc. When 1t Is impossible to
divide the flock into small breeding
pens with only one male in each pen,
better results will be obtained with q
large flock in which several males are
necessary If plenty of ranging space
is obtainable and the bird gets plenty
Of wholesome exercise.
There is, Of course, a great differ
ence In roosters. One may be vigor-
Gus and "scrappy," with another will
be feminine and cowardly. The lat
ter kind is of practically no value on
the range. because he is always In
flight or hiding from his antagonist.
It is, therefore, best to select evenly
matched males and soon their family
differences will be adjusted. each will
gather his favorites about him and
there will be little interference.

keep it up throughout the winter and

ords of 200 eggs per year among these
ducks are not at all uncommon.
The Runner, like the Leghorn
chicken, is small and trim in size and
shape, and, therefore, not we'll suited

other kind of fuel In this flue. In few
cases where the hotbed can be located
along one side of the house 1t can be
heated with hot water from the hot
water heating plant of the dwelling
OIL heaters are sometimes used for
heating hotbeds, but In case these are
used, or IL gas Is employed, pipe or
ventilation should be attached to the
heater so that the gases formed by
the combustion Of the fuel do not get
into the hotbed. The simplest and best
hotbed is the one attached to the
dwelling and heated from the furnace
or hot water heater Of the dwelling.
In making up a manure-heated hot
bed it Is desirable to secure the manure
about two weeks In advance Of the
time that II Is needed, pile II In a
rather fiat pile and turn 1t over time
or two to start 1t heating uniformly.
In placing It In the hotbed pit 1t should
not be thrown in large masses, but
shaken out uniformly and then tramped
SO as to form compact bed, covering
the entire space. If the manure Is very
dry little water should be added, so
that 1t will produce heat without be-
coming fanged or burnt. The soil
should be put over the manure imme-
diately, but no seeds should be sown
for few days, as the temperature OF
the bed Is liable to run very high In
from three to five days after the bed Is
made. The best method Is to bury the
bulb of the thermometer about three
inches deep In the soil and note the
temperature from time to time. not
planting any seeds until after the tenn
perature has fallen below IS degrees
A hotbed, like the plant box, requires
especial care in watering; IL too much
water is applied the small plants are
almost certain to "damp orr Mt the
surface of the ground. Ventilation IL
also very important, and while the
cover should not be left on when the
plants would become chilled or be bad
ly blown by the wind, yet proper ven
tilation insures sturdy plants and In
measure prevents damping.
Cold frames are just like hotbeds
except that no heat Is provided. Int
object of the cold frame Is to provide
space for transplanting the plants
grown in window box or in q hotbed
A combination Of window box and colt
frame is good thing on account OF tn

during milder weather. A few pounds

that the COW have shelter and not be
