Hot Beds and Uold frames.
Hot Beds. -Thin very convenient
form of plant-bed is not a* generally
used in Florida us il merits; proba
bly from the /act that many persons
do not understand the principle!* un
derlying a successful operation of the
Hume.
When any undeeoin posed manure,
leaves or other vegetable matter he
ginH to decay, a certain amount of
heat ib given oil; if the pile in large
and in u compact heap the amount of
heat evolved will be coimiderable.
Thin Ih due to the breaking down of
plant tissues through the netioiib of
low forma of life, auch uh bacteria
and molda. Thia breaking down taken
pluce in the presence of moiature;
vegetable mutter atored in a dry at ate
will remain undecjfnpoaed for an in
definite time. Any application of thia
fact will make it poaaible for every
one who keeps a horde or a cow to
provide himaelf with a hot-lied.
During the early part of the aenaon
the manure may be stored away dry,
and ho kept, and when the time to fix
n hot-bed comes it may be prepared.
Selection of a Locution.- Four
point* ahould be borne in mind when
one Ih kc lee ting the place for a hot
bed.
First, It inuat be sheltered from
cold winda, that la, it ahould be in a
warm spot; there ahould be a wind
break of Home kind, the bed Hhould
lie free to the full huii all dav;
the aoiith aide of a burn may be uaed
in Home cuhch.
Second, it inuat be protected from
raitia; the drippitiga of eavea inuat lie
carried away and the aurfuce drainet'
ao that water will not run under.
Third, water must be handy, or tin
needed aupply may not be applied.
Fourth, it inuat be near one’a hoilat
or near hia dally work, mo <ih to re
quire the least poaaible time to look
after it.
Construction. In at a tea north oi
Florida it la quite necessary t<« use
glazed Minims in building hot beds.
These come in sizes of :tx»> feet, and
cun be had in large markets for about
$1 .AO apiece, in northern Florida
these will be found quite useful, but
for central and south Flordia they art
not needed often enough to warruni
one’s investing in them, except I'm
special purposes. Lastwinter lias been
acknowledged generally to be the cold
eat that Florida has bad for many
years. The temperature on the col
lege camptiH went down to de
grees F. During the freeze there was
a hot-bed containing egg-plant Heed
litres covered with two thicknesses ol
beat protecting cloth; the seed lings,
eight inches away from the edge of
the bed, were not frozen. Many seed
lings of other vegetables were not
frozen under a single thickness of
protecting cloth. It can be state.il
therefore with confidence that in or
dinary winters protecting cloth will
be Mullieieiit to keep plants from
freezing- even in North Florida. Il is
not the intention to give the intpreN
aion that sash arc not better than
cloth, but that we have so few nights
and Hiiuny days which are cold
enough to injure plants that it is
more economical to use the protect
lug cloth.
The hot-beds uaed in tin* Experi
ment Stat inn garden are aix feet wide,
and long enough to suit the purticu
lar use. All material used in their
construction is one inch thick. The
back or north aidea are 2(1 inches
high and the south aide ten inches
high. When glazed aaali are used »
pitch of four inches is sufficient:
that la, the front is made 10 inches
high and the back it. Hut experience
has taught us that this pitch is not
Hufiieient for frames covered with
plant-cloth. The aidea are nailed to
four inch pieces that were driven in
to the ground six feet apart. The
ends of the frame are trimmed to an
even slope. At intervals six feet,
three inch pieeea are dove-tailed into
the front and back, to steady the
sides.aml to hold the protecting cloth
from bagging.
Ibe protecting cloth is sewed into
a sheet large enough to cover an en
tire frame. The seams run crosswise
for obvious reasons. The sheet is
fastened to the back and then
stretched over the frame; ami just
far enough over the front to press
the cloth down tightly, a strip ia
nailed to serve as a roller for a cur
tain. It> turning at one end the whole
curtain may be raised and fastened
at the top; when it is wanted for use
the fastening is loosened and the cur
tain unrolls itself, at the same time
shutting the whole frame up for the
night. The wood work ami cloth for
a frame six feet wide and thirty feet
long should not cost more than $2.AO.
Using the Manure. When the
frame for the hot-bed has been com
pleted tin* undecomposed manure is
placed in it to the depth of six to ten
inches. It is usually necessary to re
omve some of the earth inside of the
frame; this can be used to bank it on
tin* outside. As the manure is placed
in the frame it aLould be thoroughly
Koaked and tramped down. In two or
three days this will begin to heat, ami
will continue t*» rise in temperature
for eight or ten day s, ami often will
rise very high, running considerably
over a hundred degrees. If the bed is
kept moist, and this can lu* tested by
digging Into parts >f it. then- is no
danger of its “burning." Phis does
not mean that there is ever anv dan-
gar of it actually generating tire, but
the stuff becomes dry and discharges
valuable fertilizing quality as gasses.
nnd hence is about destroyed. When
large qiiHiitities of fresh manure are,
used tlif- gardeners dump it in piles,
and fork It over every day or two to,
keep it cool enough, uud ut the end of
ten days or two weeks place it In the
hot-bed.
After the manure has been placed
in the frame an inch of rich loum
should be spread over it, to arrest
any gasses that may be escaping. Af
ter about ten days of fermenting the
manure has reached its highest tem
perature, and seed can in* sown In the
loam without danger. From htia time
on (lit 1 temperature falls gradually
until decomposition is complete.
The only advantage a hot-bed has
cold-frame is that the decom
posing manure gives off heat, and
the amount of heat given off will vary
ith tin- amount of manure used. II
one desires to keep a lied extra warm
the frame, may be hanked with fresh
manure.
Preparing a Cold-Frame.- -The
nine work and eover are prepared
in the same way as for hot-beds. Cold
s require less fertilizer and
hence are cheaper than hotbeds. The
soil in them should be made very fer
tile by using commercial fertilizer, or
preferably coin post. Make the soil
about six inches deep, using about ns
miirli wed-rotted compost as earth.
'Phi* fertilizer must lie worked in thor
oughly, and the frame thus prepared
allowed to stand ten days or two
weeks, nil the time keeping It thor
ouglily wet. A cold-frame is as valu
able in the summer ns in the winter
In the Hummer the cloth is raised to
allow air to pass under, thus prote
ing small plants from the scorching
sun. In the management of a cold
frame, and of a hot-bed, plenty of
water ‘in Indispensable, and it inuat
la* applied in liberal quantities daily.
iTcparation of it IMant-lted. I’laut-
beds are very largely employed in this
state for raising seedlings, especially
tobacco. A cold-frame will serve the
purposes of a plant-bed for raising
seedlings, and Iuih many advantages.
Seedlings,after growing t<» a size that
are easily handled are often planted
in a bed for further maturing; this
is especially so when large quantities
of tomato, cabbage or celery plants
are wanted. The advantage of hav
ing these plants in as small a space
is practicable is apparent to all. The
plant-bed must be very fertile, and
luive plenty of water to be used in
< ase of need. The ground should lx
inked carefully, tin* fertilizer applied,
and tin* bed spaded or plowed, and
then raked again. The bed should

It does plants good to be planted se.v
era I times, and with some vegetables
such frequent planting' is profitable;
but for plants to come to a standstill
for want of water or fertilizer works
a detriment that is strikingly notice
able in the crop. Hence in the trans-

as to moisture, temperature mid soil,

Common Sense in the Poultry Yard.
The greatest improvement that can
be made in chickens is by careful se
lections and breeding from those spe
eiinenswhich possess the qualities de
sired. We Indd in the interest of util
ity that the best fowls of all are those
which possess the best table and lay
ing qualities. Next to these come
general uniformity in external up
penrauec, which causes them to sell
tu brttei advantage, but adds noth
ing to tin* value of the fowl in the
hands of the consumer. This improve
inent requires only common sense and
care. No technical or scientific Unowl
edge is required. Let the hens be
carefully watched and their laying
habits carefully noted; from the best
layers save breeders,male and female,
reject ing those that are badly lack
ing in color or form, even if excellent
layers. 'This Is merely a concession
to buyers who prefer uniform lots

A Practical Woman’s Way,
In writing on the subject of poultry
for profit, and hh an addition to the
yearly income on the farm, the three
great essentials to success are clean
liness, proper food and shelter, which
need not be expensive, but can be
available even on a rented farm. With
i little forethought and work, much
can lx* done under difficulties to make
poultry raising a very profitable item
of income. It is of the first import-
'Hire to get a good supply of eggs in
winter and early spring, when the
price is highest, and after nearly thir
ls years of experience. I cun say that
sidling off in fall all but the pullets is
not n means tn that end. In the firHt
place, the eggs are undersized and
will not bring so much in market,
riu* older liens ( up to three years')
lay more continuously, lire better
mothers and eggs hatch better chicks.
For winter and spring feed wheat in
the morning, also corn on tlie cob
chopped in pieces, so Hint the fowls
i11 have some work to warm them
up, with two or three times a week
shorts of bran seasoned with red pep
per, and scalded meat and scraps add
ed, and grit or shell always at hand,
will keep fowls vigorous. Three meals
are better than n surfeit twice daily;
and clean water or skimiticd milk to
drink. Vermin or miles will not trou
ble fowls if care is taken; wood ashes
in (lie nest boxes under the straw, on
the floor, under the roosts, and plenty
*»f lime are ns good as anything I
have found, if used once a week in
the warm months, the mites will nev
er get the start. Small houses or
runners can be easily moved in sum
mer with a team, and fastened in win
ter and banked up will lie found more
healthy than crowding so many in
one place. For hatching, make coops
to turn water, of shakes. The length
of shake makes a good-sized coop,
tide door in front, and open coop of
same size of lath, two or three inches
apart, one end entirely open, to fit
the shake coop; put nest boxes in
weather-tight coop. When the hen is
settled a day or two, open slide door
She will come out for feed and water,
mid return to nest when satisfied:
close slide at night. When eggs are
hatched, remove box. see that coop is
clean, keep hen and chicks In ope
coop in good weather ami tight coop
at night. When tin* hen is let out in
ten or twelve days, chicks will return
to open coop during the day and will
feed themselves, going between the
laths. It is best to have these hatch
ing coops in a yard by themselves,
setting a number of hens together;
then if any do not mean business or
are bad mothers one can divide the
chickens with the rest or substitute,
and no eggs will be spoiled or chicks
lost.
As this article is for the large class
who must study ways and means
rather than breed, markings, etc., the
common fowls (if healthy) crossed
w ith White or Brown Leghorns -rose-
combed for severe and single-combed
for mild climates, are best. Have
found the same rules to apply in Illi
nois ami ('nlifornia, and have always
made poultry a source of profit by
studying the habits of each variety,
and conforming as nearly as possible.
Turkeys require more range, and are
much better if they have access to al
falfa or clover pasture. Fed grain
morning and evening regularly, they
will not interfere with crops or do
any damage, Geese and dusks are
both profitable, if room is plenty and
water lmndy.
Above nil eles, it is essential to send
poultry to market in a merchantable
condition (whether live or dressed),
looking clean, fresh and tempting.
Fggs should also be clean, and pack
ed with sweet material; otherwise
thex will acquire a musty, bad flavor.
We find In attending strictly to these
rules, our returns are satisfactory
and over the market quotations.

To Prevent Bruises from the Harness.
The annoying sores mode by the
harness can almost entirely be pre
vented by intelligent care. The pres
sure of hurueaa and colJur upon parts
not accustomed to It, ii long contin
ued. so compresses the blood vessels
that the normal flow of blood Is
checked, the vessel walls are bruised
and partially paralyzed; the muscles
are also bruised and weukeued.
When the pressure is suddenly re
moved with the removal of the har
ness, the blood rushes into the weak
ened vessels, diluting their walls, ho
that the blood serum passes through
and accumulates in the connective
tissue under the akin. Thus originate
the soft, fluctuating swellings often
appearing upon the collar rest. If
these accumulations are not removed,
either through absorption or through
an incision in the skin, there results
u permanent enlargement from cal
lous formation.
When the Injury is only to the skin
and underlying muscular tissue, an
inflammation ia incited that results
in a breaking down of the tiaues at
tin* affected point. In nature’s at-
j tempt to rebuild, there ia an excess
of mat (‘rail deposited, and thickening
of the part results unless intelligent
treatment is given.
The Korea that result in sloughiug
away of some parts are canned either
by the excessive heat arising from
friction of the harness, or by a kill
ing of the parts from cutting off the
blood supply through long continued
pressure.
An understanding of these proe<
es enables one to alleviate the condi
tions favoring them. The same collar
should be used on a horse, provided
it is a good one, so ns not to be con
tinually shifting the pressure, then
put a horse t-o heavy work gradually.
Stop frequently, not long at a time,
and raise the collar, manipulating the
parts of the shoulder upon which it
rests with the fingers, so as to restore
the eirciilation. It is an excellent
plan to have nil old cloth attached to
the harness to use to wipe the per
spirafion from the shoulder. A young
man of my iiequiiintanee uses his
shirt sleeve for this purpose, and he
always has a fine looking team, with
never a sore on them. On removing
the harness, bathe the parts upon
Which the harness has rested heavily
with cold water; this contracts the
muscles and tends to prevent Infiani
iiiation and swelling of the parts.
M this time of the year, when the
work is changing to implements with
tongues, we are apt to think that the
old farm horses are almost us liable
to have sores developed upon their
necks as,voting horses just being put
in work. Toughening one part does
not make all proof against injuries.
The necks of the old team should be
watched during harvest.
Should an injury appear, bathe the
part with cold winter or apply ice so
long as there is any inflammation oi
lever in the part. This usually lust*,

kept wet with cold water are bene
ficial. After the fever has uil subsid
ed. use warm water to hasten the re
pair of the parts. Whenever the skin

two to five per cent solution of ere
oline. It should also be used where

Mulching vs. Cultivation,
Mulching is one form of cultivation.
There are many who ml vise mulching
heavily as soon as the trees are plant
ed. 'This is far better than to allow
the weeds to grow and choke the
trees, but my experience has been
Mint thorough cultivation during the
growing season is as milch bettor
than mulching as mulching is better
than no cultivation at all; and that
trees thoroughly cultivated will make
better growth and withstand drouth
better tliau those that are mulched.
It is a good plan, however, just be
fore the ground freezes, to mulch to
the depth of five or six inches for a
distance of three or four feet around
the tree. The object of this is to keep
the ground from chocking and drying j
out the roots of the newly plunted j
tree. The same result is obtained by ^
stirring the surface of the ground to j
the depth of two or three inches. If
mulching is used in the fall it should j
be spread over the ground and plow
ed under tlie following spring, and
the trees cultivated with plow and
hoe n& before. The preparation of
(In' soil may be all that may Is* desir
ed. the very best trees properly plant
ed. but unless given the necessary
care after planting the result will not
be whut it should, and if any part of
the season be short of moisture seri
ous loss will follow. The orchard
should be planted to some crop that
requires frequent cultivation, but
never to small grain of any sort, as
that allows the ground to crust and
crack and materially lessens the
growth of the trees. 'The cultivation
should be kept up until the trees com
mence bearing, which they should do
the fifth or sixth year if proper varie
ties are planted, after which the land
may be seeded to clover and the trees
heavily mulched. Blue grass, timothy
or any grass that forms a sod should
never be sown in the orchard, as the
sod prevents the rain from penetrat
ing the ground readily, and the trees
suffer from lack of moisture, which
results in smaller fruit, poorer qual
ity. and a tendency to fall from the
tree before it is matured. A. J.
