THE HOTBED.
How It Should Be Made and Man
aged—Begin the Work in
Good Season.
A hotbed is practically nothing more
i than a board-edged pit, in which ther
is fermenting manure covered with
several inches of soil. The top of the
j hotbed is roofed with sashes, which
usually measure about 3x6 feet each.
! At night a straw or other mat is laid
over the glass to keep out the cold.
The space between the soil and the
glass must nowhere measure less than
about six inches in the start; the soil
! will sink as the manure ferments.
Hotbeds are usually made of inch
boards. If the boards on the back of
the frame are 12
inches above
ground, those in
front should be
several inches
OX K FORM OF thus giv

water to run cff quickly. This will al
low, too, a better utilization of the
sun's heat. Frames may be made for
one or more sashes placed side by side.
If two or three good coatings of gas
tar are applied hot to the inside of ihe
boards which come in contact with
the earth, it will help to preserve
them from decay^The boards, how
ever. must be perfectly dry before
coating with tar.
Collect under shelter some strawy
horse manure, and let it heat for
about a week before using, turning it
j occasionally. Select a sunny (south
east) exposure for the hotbed.
The pit for the hotbed may be one
to three feet deep. Good rainage is
essential. The pit should be filled
with litter during the winter to pre
vent freezing on its inner surface,
this is especially true if plants are
to he started in winter. The litter is
thrown out wher the time comes to
make the bed. Then an inch or two
of coarse stuff is put at the bottom,
and, upon this, 18 inches to three feet
of horse manure is placed. Next
comes a layer of leaf mold, and, on
i top, four or five inches of fine garden
| loam.
The manure should be trodden down
in layers about six inches thick. If
it is loose and fluffv after being trod
den. there is too much straw in it; if
it packs soggy and solid under the
foot, there is too little straw. It
should feel springy when trodden, but
should not swell up quickly in a
loose mass when released from pres
sure. A hotbed with two feet of ma
nure in it may be expected to be good
for six weeks.
It is the practice of some garden
ers to make the frame entirely above
ground. In that case the frame should
be at every point about a foot inside
the edge of the manure heap. This
; form gives an opportunity to add to
the sides of the bed when the heat be
gins to decline.
Test before planting. Push a stick
through the soil and manure, and if,
on withdrawing the same, it is found
comfortably, but not. excessively warm,
the seed may be sown. The tempera
ture should be about 90 degrees.
To secure strong plants of any kind
plenty of air and sunlight is required
as soon as they are well out of the
ground and leaves begin to form, says
the Farm Journal. A slow and steady
| growth is best. A quick, forced
growth under excessive heat and
closed sash makes a weak plant that
will not stand up when exposed to the
open air in the fieid.
The skill of the operator is put to
the test in regulating the heat and
ventilation of the beds. It is an art
that can best be acquired by experi
ence. under the eye and instruction of
one who knows how. It is very dif
ficult for the one who knows to tell
another how to do it; he can more
easily show him.

ment of agriculture and ask for free

Asses' Milk.
According to the London Daily Mail,
there are several dairies for the pro
duction of asses’ milk in that city, the
milk being sent all over the country in
sealed bottles, the price being six shil
lings (about $1.44) a quart. It is con
sidered valuable for invalids or sickly
children.
Giving Liquid Medicines,
My way when giving liquid medi
cines is to take a piece of rubber hose
about la Inches long, tie it on the
neck of a bottle, and put the end of
hose down the animal's throat. There
is then no danger of getting glass in
the mouth.

The Poa Serotir.a, or False Redtop,

Redtop. It is very common in the
United States and is best adapted to
wet meadows and the banks of
streams. It is a perennial grass and

bad its origin in Germany. This
grass has been grown in England for
at least 150 years. It makes a nice
hay and will stand for a long time
after being ripe without greatly deter
iorating. It never grows so coarse
that the stalk is not tender and the
hay made from it is eaten without
waste. It thrives best when mixed
with other grasses. This grass is
most common in the northern United
States. It. is particularly good for
moist meadows, says the Farmers’ Re
view. In some of the western states
natural meadows of this grass are
now found and are highly esteemed.
FARM NOTES.
A gasoline engine is economical and
reliable.
Sugar beets will grow and produce
a fine crop in both sugar and quantity
in soil with too much alkali for most
other crops. The greatest difficulty in
such soil is in securing a good stand.
Much is lost each year by the half
preparation of the soil. Intensive cul
ture is what is needed more and more.
| Spend a little more time in putting
the ground in better condition and you
will surely get your pay in the increase
of the crops.
Here is a suggestion for a storm door
that the men folks can put on. We
have used it in our home for two
years with great comfort and satisfac
tion. At. the lumber yard get what is
called composition board, composed of
thin strips of board between heavy
paper. Carefully mark this and saw
it out to fit the screen door. Then
tack it in place and the storm door is
made. In the spring taae it off and

SAKHALIN TRAGIC ISLAND
Most Violent of Russian Prisoners
Sent There from Sibe
rian Jails.
Sakhalin, the island which Japan Is
now taking, or, rather, retaking, from
Russia, is the place to which Russia
sends her violent convicts. The con
vict of Siberia has some libertj to con.
sole him for his detention, but the
convict in Sakhalin none. When a
party of convicts (having been pro
nounced “violent" by the governor of
the Siberia!! station; is landed at Sak
halin the procession to the jail is as
follows: First alo ng the prison--rs
come men with f :ers cn their legs
and linked together in (tails, the clank

men. each without fetters but sec tin d

follow female prisoners, and aft r

one-half pound of meat each day. and
they are not forbidden to receive alias.
But when they arrive at their destina
tion their lot is a pitiful one. Their
cells are damp and fungus covered,
their food is less than the allowance
during the journey and their work in
the salt mines is most exhausting.
Many of the prisoners are very ignor
ant. Few of them can read excepting
the Caucasians, but they are all put to
the same laborious work, and in tht
event of their being physically unable
to perform their allotted tasks their
punishments are very cruel. The Eng
lish “cat-o’-nine tails” Is nothing to
the terrors of the Tiodiga.” In this
instrument of torture the prisoner is
so fixed that he can neither move nor

end with pointed tin strike his hack at
frequent intervals.
