Considerable Increase In Farm Income
Can Oe Made by Sale' of Young,
Plants in Hotbeds heady
for Transplanting.
(Prepared by tho Unltod States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Whether t Is conducted on nn ex
tensive scale to supply tho market or
whether it Is to produce food for tho
fuiplly the garden plot Is likely to bo
the most profitable acreage on the
farm.
Any rubbish, dead vines or plants,
and bean poles or tomato stakes
should bo cleared awny.
The earliest and choicest vegetables
are hurvested by the man who main
tains n few hotbed sashes and uses
them to start his garden, lie Is able
to handicap the frost lino by several
weeks, and to sot strong," well-developed
plants In his gnrden at u time his
neighbors are planting seed.
Increase Farm Income.
The farm Income is at its lowest
point In the early spring, but It can
bo Increased considerably by the sale
of young plants grown in tho hotbeds
and ready for transplanting. Tomato,
cabbage, eggplant, and pepper plants
are always snapped up when the llrst
wnrni planting days come, and they
are easily grown In the hotbed. A lit
tle more space and a little more seed
than the grower needs for his own use
are likely to bring good profits. Be
fore tho ground freezes In the fall Is
a good .time to clean out the old hot
beds. Unless the soil usel In the hotbed
'.s to be exchanged for fresh earth It
sh'iuld be shoveled from the bed afid
tt.i-sed Into a pile nearby. The decayed
manure from the bottom Is scattered
over tho pile and thoroughly mixed
with it to form rich soil for next year's
beds. Over this goes a coat of straw
or leaves held down by bits of board
to keep It from blowing.
Some farmers lind it convenient to
use evergreen boughs Instead of straw
for the outer covering.
Hotbed Should Face South.
Now hotbed pits should be dug so
thnt they will face the south, and tho
location should bo selected so that tho
beds will bo protected from cold north
winds ifhd late spring storms. Some
times the earth taken from tho new
pit Is suitable for use In tho hotbed,
but this Is the exception rather than

the rule. A few loads of leaf mold
from the woods mixed with the nat
ural soli will often form a smooth,
rich, stoncicss mass which gives an
Ideal hothed tiller.
The back or north side of the frame
Is usually made from 12 to 18 Inches
high, while the south end Is about
eight Indies, so ' that tho whole bed
may have pitch enough to get the sun
upon all parts. The standard hotbed
hmkIi h handled by most dealers, and
measures three feet In width ami six
feet In length. A frame Just wldo
enough to support the sash seems to
be tho mint satisfactory, though wider
beds are homotlnies used with support
ing ridges plnced at six-foot intervals.
A well-pnlnted "cypress sash, glazed
with good double-strength glnss well
set In putty should give the careful
gardener 12 to 15 years' service.
Heat for tho hotbed Is furnished by
means of a bed of horse manure 8 to
10 Inches thick In the bottom of tho pit.
Permanent hocheds are often heated
with colls of steam or hot-water pipes
under the bed.
Hotbeds require constant caro to
prevent their becoming overheated, es
pecially during bright weather.
KEROSENE TO DESTROY BUGS
Easily Prepared Emulsion of Soap and
Oil Is Excellent for Plants
and Animals.
Kerosene emulsion is one of the vest
lice killers on plants and animals, says
North Dakota college. It Is enslly pro
pared and very cheap. Dissolve one
half pound of soap In one gallon of
kerosene and stir very vigorously, or
better yet, churn with n force pump
for a few minutes. For use. dilute one
gnllon with nine to ten gallons ot wn
ter. Stir well. It Is best to uso rain
water. If only a small quantity Is
wanted use one to two ounces of soap,
two quarts of boiling wnter and ono
pint of kerosene und dilute to two gallons.
BERKSHIRE BREEDERS

Plan Suggested to Increase Uso

American Association Urging Various

for Qrade Animals.
An Indication of tho nctlvo and
widespread support being given to tho
bettor-slro campaign now systemati
cally fostered by tho United States
Department of Agriculture Is Illus
trated by a proposal recently mndo by
the American Berkshire association.
This association, according to u letter
recently received by the department,
Is suggesting to Statu Berkshire
Breeders' association n plan designed
to broaden the market for Berkshire
boars and Increase the uso of pure
bred anlmnls on farms.
The association la urging tho vari

part, payment, tho breeder then send
ing the grade boar to the butcher. In
their letter to the state associations
the national body points out that
every Berkshire breeder who follows
this suggestion does three things:
He puts a Berkshire boar on an ad
ditional farm.
He provides a mentis of getting
good Borkshlro feeder hogs for the
market.
He puts the purebred slro on n
farm where formerly there' was a
grade or scrub.
Signs bearing the .legend, "Regis
tered Berkshire bonr used on tills
farm," will bo furnished by the Amer
ican association to all farmers who
take advantage of this plan.
There Is nothing In the plan, sny
specialists of the United States Pe
partment of Agriculture, that docs
not seetp practicable for any other
hog breeders' association to use.
WINDBREAK FOR PROTECTION
Should Be Located on Side of Building
and Yards Against Which Pre
vailing Winds Blow.
Windbreaks for protection of the
home and buildings should ho located
on the side of the structures and tho
stock-feeding yards against which tho
prevailing winter winds blow, say for
est specialists of tho United States
Department of Agriculture. If a nnr
row windbreak of only n few rows Is
planted, It should bo several rods dis
tant from "tho building or ynrd. Snow
drifts under tho lee of such a wind
break and lies deep around buildings or
a feed lot close to It. This drifting may
he partly prevented by planting two
narrow windbreaks parallel to each
other, about two rods apart. Snow
then will drift Into, and for tho most
part be held In, this Intervening space.
Windbreaks for crop protection
should bo arranged to protect the crop
from tho most damaging winds, which
usually come In tho summer. As ofll
clent windbreaks give protection along
llio surface for n distance of from 15
to 20 tltuos their height, the Intervals
between them should be about 15 or 20
times tho height of the trees at their
maturity.
POTATOES LOST IN STORAGE
Decay, Shrinkage and Sprouting Are
Caused by Too Much Light and
High Temperature.
Losses of potatoes in storage can bo
minimized If proper enro and attention
are given through tho winter. Ade
quate ventilation must ho provided.
Storage places should bo kept uni
formly cool, dark nnd frost-proof.
These precautions aro emphasized by
potato men of tho Minnesota College
of Agriculture. Decay, shrinkage and
sprouting nre caused by light and high
temperature.
FEEDING VALUE OF SOY BEAN
Cannot Be Compared to Fodder Corn
Because of Protein Content
Supplement Each Other.
Soy beans can scarcely bo compared
to fodder corn In feadlng vnluo bo
cause soy beans are very much richer
in protein than tho corn plant. They
nre splendid foods to supplement each
other in u ration.
