MANAGEMENT
OF HOTBEDS
i
Ventilation and Watering Most
Important in Winter
PLANTS REQUIRE FRESH AIR
In the management of hotbeds iD
winter the matter of ventilation and
watering should be emphasized When
the beds are very warm young plants
iike lettuce will require a great deal of
fresh air It is necessary that the sash
be lifted at one edge during the warm
pait of the day At the same time it
must be remembered that under such
conditions the plants are very tender
md s ensitive to cold A slight chilling
oither from ventilating when the air is
too cold or from chilling the plants by
watering them with water that is too
icy will check them and seriously re
tard growth if it does not more seri
ously injure them There are so many
sunny days in winter that it will be
possible to raise the sashes from one
to four inches for at least an hour
about noon or a little later every day
The main difficulty will come when the
weather is too cold to prop up the
sashes at all Even- then they should
be raised up high some time during
the middle of the day and then quickly
lowered again This may be neces
sary during cloudy days when the
weather is not so cold It will at least
change the air A need for fresh air
is always indicated at least when it is
badly needed by condensation of the
moiFture on the glass When this
sweating takes place fresh air must
be iven at all hazards
The beds will require comparatively
little watering Too much water will
drown ou the fermenting manure and
cause the heat to die sut
The soil however should never be
allowed to become dry The water
used should be about the temperature
of well or cistern water Ice cold
water would certainly injure the
nlctits Watering should be done
early on mornings when there i3 pros
pect of sunny weather Never water
on a cloudy day When watering is
done see that the soil is wet down at
least three inches but not much far
ther Moistening only the surface
would be very injurious
FORAGE CROPS FOR
FATTENING STOCK
Labor Problem on Farms Partly
Solved in This Way
One of the greatest advance steps
in live stock farming in the last few
years is in the use of forage crops for
fattening or growing stock There are
several advantages in this use of
green crops especially when they are
fed directly from the field
The labor problem which is becom
ing greater every year on Missouri
farms is partly solved in this way
When stock can be turned into the
field to gather a crop directly from its
own roots there is little labor re
quired There is the further advan
tage that there is no hauling out of
manure as it is all left in the field
where it will do the most good
Cattle running on green forage crops
are usuallv healthier than others This
is more noticeable with hogs than with
cattle A hog that is running in the
open getting plenty of exercise and
plenty of green food is less susceptible
to the cholera than one fed in a close
pen
Many of the best forage crops ran
be raised as catch crops This
means that they can be slipped in
after some other crop has been re
moved and make a crop the same sea
son Cowpeas for example will still
make a crop after wheat or oats
Every farmer should plan to have
some space for forage crops into which
he can turn his hogs or cattle if the
pasture should happen to run short
J Last season the value of cowpeas in
this respect was demonstrated more
than ever before Cowpeas planted
in the hill with corn make a good
growth keep down the weeds add
some fertility to the soil and make a
lot of good feed One farmer last sea
son made six or seven dollars an acre
from feeding sheep on the cowpeas
that were left after the corn crop
If farmers could only see the propor
tion of chaff and weed seed that is
sometimes found in what is sold for
pure seed they would become more
careful in buying In small gras3
seeds especially there is sometimes
only a small proportion of the real
pure seed and a very large proportion
of weed seed The weeds are a
nuisance at best but when the farmer
is obliged to pay for the seed to plant
them on his farm it is too much
The United States government
working through the College of Agri
culture maintains a regular seed test
ing laboratory in Columbia where
samples of seed will be analyzed and
tested for germinating strength
There is no quicker way to improve
crops than to use cleaner and stronger
seed Every farmer in Missouri is en
titled to have tests made at this lab
oratory free of charge simply sending
in the sample and asking that it be
done

MOST PATIENT OF THIEVES
In San Francisco a Man Was Discov
ered Stealing the Parts of
Roller Skates
Out at the Coliseum skating rlnlc
there has been discovered evidence
of one of the most patient and hope
ful thieves in America A day or
two ago he undertook to steal a pair
of skates piecemeal but the evi
dence of his work was discovered ajid
he remains in possession of three
wheels a Holt or two and a couple
of pieces of metal that can be of uo
earthly use without the remaining
sections of the skates which remain
in possession of the management To
compensate for the loss the ColiEeum
stands in possession of one felt hat
with the name of the dealer cut out
of the band and a gap where the
owners initials were carried
To evade the regulations of the
rink the optimistic crook was obliged
to carry an extra hat or cap and a
set of tools which enabled him to
take the skates apart The unpur
loined portions were discovered by a
special policeman in an unfrequented
corner of the pavilion San Francis
