too, the family begins to get hungry tor green stuff usually long before there is any for use. Besides baring light, early soil, a south slope and preparing the ground early, there are a number of other derfees that can be resortad to to secure eariloeaa One of the most important of these la the hotbed A hotbed costs Bttle, and after Its advantages have once been found out by actual trial It Is seldom abandoned The beat loca tton for a hotbed Is on the south side of a building. It should face the soutb In order to get the most possible beat from the sun. The main source of beat, however, is fermenting horse manure. A pit may be dug for the masore, but the hotbed will be Just as successful if the manure is piled on top of the ground. The pile should be about two feet deep and should be spread out flat and packed tightly. It Should extend ont about two feet each way from the frame that la to be used. The manure used should have the proper proportions of straw and rnols tare, so that it will be springy, but sot too loose. It is a fact that much of the bucccss of the hotbed depends od the proper condition of this beat supply If the manure is too far advanced in decomposition tbe fermentation wUI not be sctive enough to generate tbe proper amount of beat. On tbe other band, if sctive fermentation has not already begun tbe necessary beat will not be oo baDd when it is wanted, and germination - and growth will be altogether too slow. A little careful attention to this matter will prevent dls appointment. The frame may be of^ any desired ■tee. according to tbe size of glass that can be secured. A storm window makes a good top for a hotbed If no glass can be secured a sash covered with muslin may be used. Tbe frame should be about elgbt Inches deep In front and fourte«rt>eb!nd. As soon as : the manure baa been packed In place tbe frame should be placed upon It i and about five Inches of rich soli plac ed Inside. The best way to get this soil Is to store It away In a barrel the toll before, as you will want It long hsfwn the ground thaws In tbe spring Managing tha Hotbed. The proper time to a tart tbe hotbed Is about six weeks before the ground outside will be ready for planting. About three daya after tbe hotbed bas been started tbe temperature will byre become uniform, and tbe aeeda ran be planted They can be planted thickly, since they are to ' be taken up before tbey hare made mncb growth. Tbe principal plants started tn a hotbed are cabbages and tomatoes. Lettuce ■ad radishes may also be grown in tbe hotbed and if planted thinly enough max be left there until tbey are large enough to use. if you want a tow early melons or cucumbers the seed may be planted In strawberry boxes of dirt and placed In tbe botbed. When the weather Is sufficiently warm outside tbey may be set out In tbe garden The roots will make their way through tbe sides of tbe box, and three ar tour week* will be sated This I* a clever devloeTUr treating early sow toga of plants which do not bear transplanting Started tn this way early In

baa and an. lata tbe gardes bad and rtetod,SfSbta the hcrtbeJ should be covered with straw or old carpets to keep It from getting too cold InaWa On sunshiny days the sash may bars < to be raised during tha warmer part J vt the day to give ventilation 1 plants should be watered la the mora- 1 log. on warm days only to prevent too great a reduction of temperature A cold frame is almost as necessary | as a hotbed. Tbe plants raised In a hotbed are very tender and are (labia " to be Injured If transplanted directly to the garden. Tbe cold frame Is made the same as a botbed except that go manure is used After tbe plants have obtained a good start in the botbed tbey should be transferred to tha j cold frame The plants in tbe cold 1 are gradually accustomed to the outside air by leaving tbe sash up for longer periods each day. This transplanting also helps the tomatoes and cabbages in another way. in that it makes tbem thicker stemmed and causes better root development A stocky plant of this kind Is *v»ays a better grower and ylelder. Early Potato**, j A good way to secure earlineas in the case of potatoes is to pack a num I In sand somewhere where tbey ' ! will get plenty of light This should ■ I done it week or so before planting ' time. As soon as the grouDd is ready these tubers are set out carefully so as not to break off tbe sprouts which started. A week or more in the 1 eerllness of tha crop can be saved in ' this way The early potatoes may be J planted rather shallow and a thick . ''coating of straw placed between the , I On nights when there Is danger ■ of freeing, the plants can be covered with strew Mo cultivation will be since the gtraw will keep ' the weeds down find conserve moisture. When digging time comes the I straw can be thrown back and the potatoes will be found on top of the ground, or nearly so. Of course this plan U not practicable except tor a few rows of tbe earliest potatoesRhubarb and Asparagus. Another metbgd of securing early ' vegetables is by ths toss Of perennials, or those which come up from the roots each', year- - Tha most important of these are asparagus and rhubarb. Asparagus is ope of the most delicious vegetables that can be grown, and It fills In. a space tn the spring when there Is nothing else available. Rhubarb comes nearer to being a fruit, making appetising sauce and plea. In starting an asparagus bed tbe land should be manured heavily and plowed deeply. One year old plants grown j trap seed sbonld be planted four inches deep and a foot apart in row* i ! three feet apart Tbe early spring ! treatment of the asparagus bed con . ' slsts In giving it a thorough disking. I I After tbe cutting season Is over a III*- - era! coating of manure should be scat- : : tered between the rows. Tbe stalks : 1 should be cut Id the fall before tbe i berries are fully ripe to keep the bed • from becoming filled with seedlings. : Asparagus cannot be cut much before It Is three years old. Rhubarb la easily > grown from roots planted around In i ! any out of tbe way corner and kept I well mulched and manured. r Id plaoting the garden those plants . which have the same bablts of growth . j should be put together. The early I I crops should also be buncbed as much j as possible. Id some cases an early e crop may be got out of the jay In time f , to put a later one on tbe same ground. I { Cultivation. 1 j Tbe garden sbonld be laid oat in long - ' rows aDd as mncb of tbe cultivation ' j as possible doDe with a borse culti- " i vator. A one borse walking cultivator ' ' Is best for tbis work. A wheel hoe to | get close to tbe plants and Into tbe 9 corners Is a valuable addition to tbe r ! equipment. As a last resort a hand 6 , boe may bare to be used once In awhile to get tbe weeds out of tbe e row Changing tbe garden to a new r place every few years Is a big help In ' keeping weeds in check. If the garden t is put on clean soil in tbe first place r and few weeds are allowed to go to '* seed tbe labor problem will be greatly - simplified Insects. - Of all tbe insects that attack garden crops tbe one that probably canses tbe j most trouble Is tbe striped cucumber ' beetle. A practice often followed v where but a few hills of vine crops ° are grown ts to cover tbe young plants with a frame of mosquito netting . A

better plan Is to knock tbe beetles to tbe ground by a slight blow and kill each one with a drop of kerosene. y Sprinkling tbe plants with pepper, toj baoco dnst or air slaked lime will belp * Paris green, applied at tbe rate of : one pound to a hundred gallons of wa- ' ter. with four pounds of freshly slaked " Ume added to prevent Injury to tbe foliage, is one of tbe best remedies y for cabbage worms and most of tbe ' other Insect h that Infest garden crops.
