Ee — Bellefonte, Pa., FARM NOTES. wars —March is the month when the hotbed should be made, and it is a matter that de- Serves consideration wherever early vegeta- bles are desired, The hotbed shortens the winter season considerably, and gives a longer growing period. It protects the young plants from the frosts and supplies warmth necessary to their well being before the summer puts in an appearance. The hotbed may be of any size desired, but usu- ally it is three by six feet, as a sash that size can easily be procured. It should face the south, the north side being about 14 inches high and the front about 10 inches ahove the level of the ground, and the sash should fit closely. An excellent plan is to make a pit two feet deep and set the frame in, though the pit need not be so deep if not preferred, the upper portion of the frame extending above ground to the height men- tioned above. Place the manure in the pit trample it firmly, and then put abous six inches of rich dirt on the manure, so as to have the earth come to about six inches of the top of the lower or south side. Now bank up the frame all around with earth to the top of the boards, and press it firmly, 80 as to shed water and protect against cold. This banking of the earth is important and should not be overlooked. The larger the quantity of manure used the more heat will be secured, as it is the decomposition of the manure that creates warmth. If some very fine, thoroughly rotted manure is mixed with the soil over the manure it will be an advantage in giving the young plants plant food within easy reach until they can ex- tend their roots down to the main supply underneath. If the top soil is sifted so as to remove any pebbles or small stones, so much the better, as the top soil must be fine. The manure must be prepared now. Use only fresh horse manure: that has no litter in it. Place it ina heap ina dry place and in the sun, so as to have it fer- ment evenly all through. Turn it over fre- quently and note its condition. If it heats too rapidly tread it down. Itshould not be allowed to continue heating until it ex- hausts itself. Put the manure in the hot- bed, place the sash on and the heat will rise. Let it remain two or three days un- til the heat begins to subside, and when at about 90 degrees the seed may be sown. There is not near the difficulty in making the bed as may appear. The object in heat- ing the manure before it is pnt in the hot- bed is to reduce the lumps and permit of better packing in the hothed. If the heat does not rise in the hotbed it may be due to the manure being trampled too much. When air gets into the manure more heat will be generated, but the manure will not give off heat so long as when the air is ex- cluded. Another plan to create more heat should it be lacking is to slack a lump of stone lime, mix it with warm water and give the hothed a good soaking, but this must be done before the seeds are planted. On warm days it may be necessary to raise the sash to cool the hothed, but cold water will also accomplish the same result. The main point is to use plenty of manure, and allow it to get rid of some of its heat before using it, but it must not ferment too much as it is the material from which the heat is to be derived in the hotbed. All plants must have air, hence the sash off or raised to its full height, but not un- til the sun is well up, and it must be clos- ed before sundown. An old carpet or oth- er covering should be placed over the sash at night. If water begins to collect on the under side of the glass it indicates that the temperature is too high, when fresh air should be admitted. When watering the plants it is not necessary to saturate the hotbed. Too much water is as injurious as too little. Sow the seed in straight rows. each variety to itself, and pull out all young weeds or shoots of grass that may appear. As the weather becomes warmer the manure will be nearly exhausted and will give off less heat. Take advantage of every warm day, if only at noon, to expose the plants, so as to ‘‘*harden’’ them as much as possible. Do not cover the seed more than half an inch, and if the young plants are too thick remove the surplus. Early cabbage and lettuce are hardy, and can stand more exposure than tomatoes or egg plants, but the hotbed must be so managed as to protect the tender kinds. Transplant the hardy kinds as soon as it can be done. Tomatoes will be stockier if transplanted to cold frames after the cold days have passed. Much will depend upon the close observa- tion of the hotbed, but the labor required will be but a few minutes daily. —This mild spell of weather has led many people to turn their attention to their shrubbery and trees. Grapevines and fruit trees around town are heing trimmed and put in shape for fruiting this summer. A more serious matter than even the trimming is the question of getting rid of grubs and insects. The borers which at- tack apples, pears, peaches, quinces, grapes and almost every kind of growing plant are legion. Each plant has its own enemies. Sometimes the same species of grab may be found in two or three different varieties of trees. Then the vegetation will be attack- ed just as soon as it starts in the spring. The leaves of the trees will have to with- stand a great variety of enemies. The fruit will be stung, and the bark will not escape. The wonder is that with all the insects that develop and grow upon trees and fruit that the entire crop is not destroyed. Successful growers keep up a steady fight all the year around. Just as soon as the frost is out sufficiently to permit of it the borers may be dealt with. Some people dig about the trees and search for the borers with a knife, cut them out and destroy them. They can be kept greatly in check by a liberal supply of wood ashes placed well down about the roots. Other enemies of the fruit trees must be dealt with in turn. Spraying is good for some of them. —-The warm days of March and April may start the leaves and buds, which are liable to injury later, as it is the late frosts, which sometimes come unexpectedly that does damage, not only to fruit trees, but to vegetables. Even in May, when the conditions are apparently favorable, a late frost may destroy the whole season’s work. Do not be in too great a hurry to put seeds in the ground. Let the ground hecome well warmed. Onions and peas are hardy and can stand a certain amount of cold, but it will not pay to plant the bulk of garden crops as long as there is liability of late frosts. To Cure a Cold in One Day.
