The cold frame should be llled with a good potting soil, say, sand, (food garden soil and dark, we'.l-rotted manure or boneincal In equal parts nnd thoroughly blended. The plants should hac more ventilation In tlii cold framp. but should not tecelve so much water. It Is best to keep the soil rather dry. HOW TO TRANSPLANT In transplanting, remember that plants usuiilly thrlc better If transplanted Into Kinimd that has been freshly cultivated Tmtisplantlng to the open Held Is best done In cool, cloudy weather, and In the after noon This iieelils tho sun's ra.s from causing the plant to lose ton much moisture through pxnpniatlon When the pUuts are from an Inch to an Inch nnd a half high.

One section enough for small Garden. Hotbed is similar in construction, but handled according to details in article. standaid thiee hy sK feet hotbed ash may be ued. This can be bought cheaply at seed stoies. The fmnie should be about twelve Inches high In the hack ainl eight Inches on the front. This slope Is for the purpose of securing a better angle for the sun's rays and should be faced towaid the south or southeaMt. The hotbed not only must collect any heat It can from the sun, but also mut generate heat of Its own ftom fermenta tion In freh manuie. Fresh hore manure, free fiom stable litter. Is best for generat ing heat. If the hotbed Is to be an annual affair, make an excavation eighteen Inches to two feet deep, about two feet greater In length and width than the fiame carrlng the cash. Line the excavation with plank tn with a brick or conciete wall. A drain to cairy off surplus water Is essential, After a sufficient amount of fiesh horse manuie has been accumulated, All the pit, and while it Is being filled tianip the m.inuie as firm ly and a evenly as possible. When the giouml level is leached place the flame In position and bank the sides and ends with manure. Place about three Inches of good garden loam on top of the manure Inside the frame and cover It with the sash. After the heat has reached its maximum and has subsided to between eighty and ninet.x degrees Fahrenheit It will be safe to plant the seeds. For a temporary or movable hotbed the fiame and the sash aie the same, but the manure Is placed directly on the ground and the hotbed on top of It. Some of the hot manuie Is banked around the stdes to hold In the heat. Six to eight Inches of good garden soil Is put over the manure In which to plant the seeds The hotbed should he kept partly dark until geimlnatlon is effected. Burlap, old carpet or even newspapers can be usedas sash covering for this purpose. After geimlnatlon, howeer, the plants will need all the light possible, exclusive of the direct rajs of the sun, to keep them glowing rapidly. This Is a crisis In plant life and ventilating and wateilng with great care aie of vrlme Importance. Too close plant ing and too much heat and water cause the plants to become spindling. Water the xianiu nn rlenr davs. ill the morning, and ventilate Immedlatelj to dry the foliage and I to pievent mildew. STRUCTURE OF COLD FRAMK The cold frame Is constiucted In much the same way as the hotbed, except that no hot manure is used, and the frame may be covered either with glass sash or with boxes, they should be thinned to one or two inches npait In the low, so as to give them space enough to make a strong, stocky growth If It is desired to keep the platys which are thinned out, they may be set two Inches apatt each way In other boxes or fran'es When the weather becomes mild, the seed box of plants should be set out of doors part of the time, so that the plants will "harden off" In preparation for transplanting to the garden latei. A good watering should be glen Just before the plants arc taken out of the box or cold frame for transplanting, so that a laige ball of earth will stl(k to the roots of each one In lieu of hotbed or cold frame many seeds can be started In a seed box in the house by a sunny window Any soit of wooden box will do; deep cigar boxes an swer ery well. The seed box should be three or four inches deep, twelve to fourteen Inches wide and twenty to twenty-four Inches long. A lajer of about one Inch of giael or clndeis should be placed In the bottom of the box. then It should be filled neaily full of llch garden soil, or oil enriched with decayed leaves or manure Soil should be pieed down firmly with a small piece of board nnd rows made one-fouith to one-half Inch deep and two inchc apart ciosswise of the box. The seed should be distributed eight or ten to the Inch In the tows and be coveted The soil should be watered and the box set In a warm place In the light, In the sunshine by a window being best Water enough must be given from time to time to cause the seeds to geiminate and grow thriftily, but not enough to leak through the box. If a piece of glass Is used to cover the box, It will hold the moisture in the soil and hasten the geimlnatlon ot the seeds. ' Kggplant, pepper, cauliflower and eaily tomatoes as well as annual floweis aie started In seedbox o" hotbed, Hardier things, such as cabbage, brussels sprouts, late to matoes nnd celery are started In cold frame".
