Farm Notes.
—A hot-bed is not necessary if one is
convenient to a city where there are
large seed stores, if plants are required
for asmall garden, as early varieties
are kept in stock, but on the farm, if
large crops of early cabbage, tomatoes,
sweet potatoes, peppers and other crops
which require protection for a while,
in order to secure early plants, are
grown, a houbed will be yaluable.
The cost of a hot-bed is very little, con-
sidering its advantages, and once made
it requires but slight repairing each
year. With the hot-bed should be con-
structed a few cold frames. The dif-
ference is that the hot-bed requires
glass, while the cold frame, which
serves for large plants (transplanted
from the hot-bed later in the season),
may be covered with boards only, es-
pecially if intended for such hardy
plants as early cabbage or lettuce.
The frame may be 16 inches high at
the rear, and 14 inches in front, from
the level of the ground, and covered
with sash of any desired size. The
boards may be simply nailed together
at the corners, fastened to 2 by 3 inch
scantling, but gardners first make a
pit, one foot deep, and use a frame 24
inches at the rear, and 22 inches at the
front, according to the kinds of plants
to be grown. The height at the front,
however depends on the width of the
ed.
THE MANURE FOR HOT-BEDS.
—TFresh horse manure, free from lit-
ter, is generally used. It isthe fer-
mentation of the manure which creates
the heat. If the manure is too loose it
may create heat more rapidly than de-
sired. It is better to mix the manure
in a pile, allow it to heat some, and
then turn it over well and mix it again
before using it in the hot-bed. Having
trampled the manure firmly, now cov-
er it with rich dirt, to which has been
added one-fourth its bulk of fine, well-
rotted manure. There should be no
lumps, stones or pebbles in the hot-bed.
1f necessary, sift the dirt. The thick-
ness of the dirt should be about six
inches. As there will then be about a
foot of space between the dirt and the
sash (the hot-bed being 24 inches at
the rear), ample air space will thus be
provided. If the manure does not
heat up quickly, and is too slow,
sprinkle the bed well wlth hot water,
first adding a small quantity of air-
slaked lime to the water. If too much
heat is generated, use cold water alone.
When the heat reaches about 60 de-
grees, plant the seeds, in rows, but
more warmth will be required for tie
young plants later on.
MANAGEMENT.
—Of course the frame ehould be well
banked up with dirt, to prevent the ef-
fect of the frost. The object should be
to maintain as even temperature as
possible. On clear, warm days the
sash may be raised slightly, in order to
admit air, during the middle of the
day, but this will depend on many cir-
cumstances. The better plan is to
hang a thermometer in the hot-bed,
and to visit it frequently. As the heat
from the manure decreases the weath-
er will become warmer. Gradually
accustom the plants to the temperature
of the outside atmosphere as much as
possible, and transplant to the cold
frame such as may be suitable for that
purpose. Some sort of covering should
be used over the sash at night. such as
an old carpet, with a few loose boards
over the carpet. The temperature
of the atmosphere must be the guide
in management, as the plants must
not be kept too warm or become liable
to being chilled.
—Trees that are whitewashed about
three times a year, from early spring
until fall, will be partially protected
against insects, but the best reason for
using the lime wash is the neat and at-
tractive appearance of the trees after
being whitewashed. There should be
no ‘‘economy’’ practiced in using the
lime. Apply itin the consistency of
cream, and use it plentifully. If neces-
gary apply once a month, during the
first three spring months, and then
ones or twice daring the summer and
fall.
—To procure new red raspberry
canes, in a location intended to be de-
voted to that crop, the young plants
from last spring's growth may be used.
The red raspberry produces plants from
the roots of the parent plants, but the
black-cap raspberry must be tipped
over, and the end of the tip covered
with dirt, when it then takes root and
the old cane is cut loose. In other
words, the black cap produces itself
from its tops and the red kind from its
roots.
— Watering with a liquid composed
of one bushel of lime and one bushel
of soot, in 100 gallons of water, proved
a valuable remedy for the carrot grub,
according to the claims of an English
gardener. The mixture was well
stirred, allowed to stand over night,
and the clear water then applied with
a watering pot.
—On small tracts of land it is possi-
ble to keep bees, poultry and fruit trees
on the same location with profit, but
such work can only be done by those
who are experienced, and who well un-
derstand what is required for success.
—TFeeding all sizes of hogs together
is an excellent method of overfeeding
the large ones and stinting the smaller
ones, as the larger ones will secure
nearly all of the food.
—The grape is propagated from cut-
tings, and a single vine will produce a
large number of cuttings in one season.
Early spring is an excellent time for
such work.
It will pay to be always on the
lookout for new varieties of potatoes,
but not to discard the kinds in use un-
til satisfied with the new.
Made Her Comfortable For Life.
“There are more ways than one to
make a living,” said a demure little wo-
man with flashing black eyes who came
down town in a School street car. «I
know a woman who was left penniless
in New York. She was riding on the
elevated road one day when she was
struck with the sameness of the adver-
tisements that are posted up in the cars.
She thought that she could write good
advertisements, and she thought out a
lot of little four line rhymes for a certain
article. She submitted them to the ad-
vertising manager of that firm, and they
were accepted, snd now she is making a
lot of money every year with her verses
extolling various wares.”
“Pshaw,’’said the blonde who sat next
tothe demure little woman, “1 know of
a case right here in Buffalo that dis-
counts that.”
«T don’t believe it,’’ said the demure
little woman.
«Well, I do, and I'll tell you about it |
to prove it. A friend of mine who had
been doing some newspaper work got
the craze for writing advertisements, and
she went around to a lot of stores, only
to find thatthey were well supplied with
people to look after that branch of their
business. She did find one firm that
was willing to let her try her hand, and
she began work. In less than a year
she was comfortable off for the rest of
her life.”
“Did she invent some new style of
writing or something of that kind?”
asked the demure little woman,
“No,” replied the blonde, ‘but she
married the senior partner.”’— Philadel -

ETERS,
The Lost Hoose.
Going home at an early hour on a
summer morning, after a prolonged
carousal with some boon companions
John Clerk (afterward Lord Eldin) ask-
ed a girl who was washing the door-
steps of a house in the street in which he
lived, whether she could tell him where
Mr. Clerk “bides ?”’ “You're Mr. Clerk
yoursel’,” she at once replied. “I ken
that fine,’’ said the humorous advocate,
‘put I canna find his hoose.”
Denial From Mrs. Stanford's Attorney.
Sax Francisco, February 6.—Ef-
forts to see Mrs. Stanford to-night to
verify the truth of the dispatch that
she and Ex-President Harrison are to be
married, were unavailing. Mrs Stan-
ford's attorney, Russell J. Wilson, was
shown the dispatch and he positively
stated there was no truth in it.
One Hundred and Fifty Horses Burned.
SycaMouUR, Ill, Feb. 7.—The barn
and outbuildings of J. L. Elwood, six
miles distant from this place, together
with 150 imported Percheron horses, were
burned early this morning. The barn
cost over $7,000, and the horses’ value
will bring the total loss above $50,000.
