THE Cri'IZEN. HOTBEDS. One of Green lion ho Type —An Im provement In tlir Hotbed. On all appliances for the use of glass in lengthening the season of plant growth that of the hotbed is by far the most common, from the small bed of a few sashes suited to a common garden up to the large yards of hotbeds own ed by market gardeners. The ordinary making of hotbeds is well understood, but there are certain variations from the usual form which are not so well known, although worthy the consider ation of progressive gardeners. lo these attention is called in an article originally appearing in Viek's Maga zine. The writer says: First we will speak of a form of hot bed which is somewhat in the nature of a greenhouse. Fig. 1 shows such a hotbed oi green house form in cross section. Tin width of the house is 11 feet. The roof con ,s T i >/£-• / \£HT/tANCE - v.-—f-y /VPtw/Ae I ,L.- jtW «S7" —7 ~ - F/6.2 HOTBED OF GREENHOUSE FOKM. sists of sis foot hotbed sash supported by rafters and a ridge part that con sists of lapping boards which extend lengthwise of the house. The upper boards of this part, in alternate lengths on each side, are hinged to the ridge piece, thus affording means of ventila tion without sliding the sash. Entrance is effected from the end through a shed, as shown in Fig The princi pal advantage of such a house is that the work of planting, watering, etc., can he done at times when it is too cold or stormy to open hotbeds as these are ordiuarll.v made. There are some gains also in the matter of heat econo my as well as iu that of being able to replenish any part with fresh manure In case this Is desired for Increased heat. First, ail excavation two feet in depth and the size of the house was made, the soil being used in part for banking against the house for shelter and to carry away moisture. The sides consist of two inch scantling boarded up on the inside and at the top on the outside. TV; sash supports, of two inch stuff, at one end rest on the outer walls, while toward the other end they rest on two plates two and a half feet apart, which run lengthwise with the house. These plates are supported by iron gas pipes at intervals of eight feet, the lines cf which also define the walk and the beds. The height of the house at the center is six and a half feet. The manure spaces are of the same extent as the beds proper and are about three feet deep. In the boarding up of the manure spaces at the walk it is arranged to have the greater part of the board surface mov able, being kepi in place by the but tons which are attached to the station ary boards at the top and bottom. Aside from the hotbed above de scribed the present writer has had much experience with hotbeds of the ordinary form a little later in the sea son than when the greenhouse is oper ated. On • method employed in ar ranging his hotbed yard has been so satisfactory that he heartily recom mends it 10 others. The idea is shown in Fig. 3. It is in the direction of entirely saving the handling of sashes, except as they slide oti the frame, with a saving both in glass breakage and in jury from racking. The way of effecting this is by hav ing the hotbeds arranged in double line as a and b in the engraving, with a space lei between them equal in width to a hotbed. This space is de signed to accommodate the sasli when the bed is uncovered and thus never moving them into the walks (d d). It is seen that the sash supports are *_'_ A \ I F/C.i BEDS ARRAXCKD ON - AN IMPROVED PLAN twice the usual length—that is, they reach across the space c, thus keeping the sashes as safely supported and as free from racking when moved off the bed as when they are in place. The same space accommodates the sashes of both beds, as the slope permits the extended parts of the supports to be one well above the other, as the fignre shows. •The space between the beds Is not lost either, for here such things as late celery, cabbage and eauliflov.-er are town, as the sashes are entirely remov ed by the time the seedlings require the head space. Potnto Experience. At one of the Canadian farm stations large whole potatoes did not give a cor responding yield to the weight of tu bers planted, and the result points to the inad visibility of planting very large sets. Small whole potatoes were more satisfactory and give promise of furnishing in a favorable season means of disposing of some unmarketable po tatoes. The result from seed ends on ly shows the error of a prevalent theo ry as to their worthlessncss Crr seed purposes. RhHUMATiSM Cured in a Day.
