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

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.

You may run away from hydrophobia,
because you can see it coming in tlic
frothing tongue and the snapping jaws
of tli * mad dog. Rut the diseases which
carry of! the greater part of mankind
there's no running away from. They are
. stealthy, insidious, and
1\ come as a thief in the
\ night.
[Jj Six percent, of the daily
deaths are due to eoti
sumption. The name of j
\ the disease suggests the '
horror of emaciation, the
w labored breathing, the
iA hectic color, the night- j
v lri sweats the
v ly struggles of the daily j
iMg} weakening victim.
To those with weak
lungs, obstinate, lingering cough, bron
chitis, and kindred ailments which, if j
neglected, lead on to consumption, Dr. j
Tierce's Golden Medical Discovery |
brings hope, help and healing. Its i
cures have been many and marvelous. :
Thousands who had lost hope, have
found a permanent cure in " Golden j
Medical Discovery."
" Last spring I wrote you Slf 1
111 r.'garil to mv health R
which at that time was X-VA
vcrv p<«.r." writes Mrs. Vy
lfettie If. Itarnes, of <iar- .
fieM. Pawnee Co . Kansas.
"My tn able was bronchial
i ion Symptoms: -pit-
Hag blood almost every —N,
Tiii irn ing for five years, \
shortness of breath, raw
rml sore throat, loss of trensrth. at times almost
|iim of voice, irregular periods—in ftict I thought
I Tvas surely going into consumption I con
sulted you and you advised me to give pr.
Pi rre's Golden Medical Discovery a trial, which
I did, and with liappv results. I used two bot
tles of ' Golden Meafeal Discovery' and health
returned as 1 used the medicine. I have only
raised blood three times since I began using it.
Mv periods are regular, strength returned, and
lam almost a new person. I know of a lady
th.it was cured of consumption by this same
''•.olden Medical Discovery,' aud she always
sings its praise."
Some dealers may offer you a '' just as
good " medicine in place of Dr. Pierce's,
because there's more profit in the sale of
the substitute. If any dealer thinks
more of his profit than of your patron
age, he's not entitled to your trade.
