HOTBED is a device for furnish
ing bottom heat from fermenting
manuie for growing plants out of
their natural season or for forcing
them into quick growth Of course
there arc hotbeds heated by steam by
hot water and in other ways but
these will not be considered here A
hotbed adapted to the needs of the
fanner or city man is simple of con
struction and can be made complete
at a cost of only a few dollars
While it is possible to make a hot
bed in October sow the seed and have
young plants like lettuce large
enough lor transplanting by Decem
ber and then make up a new bed in
Rlucli they are to be grown to matur
ity it would ue much better in most
casps to use the ordinary hotbed for
growing such crops as lettuce rad
ishes cauliflower etc beginning about
the fast of March The hotbed is es
pecially useful for starting many
plants n very early spring expecting

of Constructing Hofbed Adapted to Needs ot
Farmer or City Man
j inches m six feet the beds will have
about the proper slope but if this is
lot the case two of the legs those on
the north side should he a few inches
longer than the other two
After the frame is fitted into place
the earth sl ould be banked around it
One load of fresh manure will be suf
ficient to make up the range The
best material for this is that secured
direct from the stable the material
itself consisting largely of the bed
ding from the stalls Material whcb
has boen exposed to the weather for a
time is useless as it will not heat
The manure is thrown into the pit
distributed evenly over the space and
tramped down firmly by having a man
walking constantly over it After be
ing filled to the top of the pit and
perhaps a couple of inches higher the
whole is nicey levelled It is then
necessary to water the bed thoroughly
Emphasis should be laid on this part
of the work as it is necessarv that

CONSTRUCTION OF HOTBED
to transplant them to the field when
the weather is warm and settled An
other ute to which the hotbed might
be profitably put is the growing of
violets Fur this crop no bottom heat
is required and hence these plants
should be grown after the bed has
been used for forcing purposes
It is just as easy and costs not a
great deal more to have a range of
tlnee frames instead of one This
rangement makes it possible to grow
dilferent kinds of crops under differ
ent conditions
The following description supple
mented Ly the illustration will enable
anyone to make a hotbed
The best location for the hotbed is
on the south side of 1 building or high
borrd f nre It would also be better
if the ground slopes toward the south
Under these conditions the fullest
amount of sunlight will he secured
As will be seen in the illustration
this description is for a range consist
ing of three sashes The size of each
sash is 4xC feet hence the space to
be staked off would be 0x12 feet For
Missouri conditions excavate to a
depth of six to ten inches throwing
the earth out on all sides Next pre
pare the frunework for the bed which
is made of pine board twelve inches
wide In th corners are nailed pieces
of 2x4 pine which not only serve as
braces for the frame but as legs for
It to rest upon These of course
should be Jong enough to reach to the
bottom of the pit but allowing the
framework itself to stand level with
the ground Two 2x4 preces should be
fltred across the frame to correspond
with the width of the sashes that is
the first rece should be four feet from
the end and the next should be half
way betwpen that and the other end
If the ground slopes four or five
the manure be properly soaked before
the proper fermentation will take
place
A lajer of rich porous soil about
two or thiee inches thick should be
spread over the manure After a hot
bed has been in use for a year or two
the old manure which has previously
furnished the heat but which is now
thoroughly decayed makes a most
splendTd soil when thoroughly mixed
with the dirt that is upon it In the
absence of this however good soil
may be prepared by using equal parts
of garden lorm and thoroughly rotted
nnnure and mixing with the mass
enough sand so that the particles can
be seen throughout when handling it
Two or three shovelfuls would be suf
ficient The bed isnow ready for the
sashes to be placed upon it
This form of bed is a compromise
between the old fashioned regular
form with the pit eighteen inches deep
and the kind which is made wholly
above ground no excavation being em
ployed at all This raised kind is of
course a temporary bed but it often
serves a useful purpose for growing
early spring crops and can be used
throughout the coM weather by heap
ing manure around the outside
If the frames are to be used during
cold weather and are expected to be
kept for a number of years it will pay
to make covers for each of the sashes
out of good pine lumber one inch
thick There are on the market special
ly prepared mats or rugs for covering
hotbed sashes
A cheaper way than either which is
quite effective in severely cold weather
is to cover the sashes over with manure
to a depth of six inches Beds treated
in this way come safely through a tem
perature of 20 degrees below zero
I
per cum strong wun lorty or litty gal
lons of water in barrels This forma
lin can be secured from practically any
drug store After the seed oats have
teen thorough fanned spread them
out on a clean floor and sprinkle with
the solution until they are wet enough
to pack in the lHid Turn them with
a shovel until all have been well damp
ened Then shovel them into a pile
and cover with some old sacks or
carpet for two or three hours The
oats should then be scattered and
turned from time to time until dry
As soon as dry the oats are ready for
seeding at once or they may be left
for weeks before using
This solution is poisonous in con
siderable quantities but as recom
mended it is very weak The treated
oats however should never be fed to
animals as it will likely poison them
FLAVORS IN MILK
CAUSE OF CONTAMINATION
The abnormal -or injurious flavors In
milk are of two kinds first those due
to feed eaten by the cows second
thos due to contamination
The first kind is scientifically spok
en of as feed flavors and is due to the
cow eating large quantities of turnips
onions ensilage beets ragweed etc
cause of the contamination of
milk is largely due to lack of perfect
cleanlinoss with the milking utensils
surroundings methods of delivery and
personal cleanliness t
The udder and adjacent parts should
be washed with clean water and wiped
dry with a clean dry towel The
hands and the clothing of the milkman
should he clean Bottles buckets etc
should be sterilized with live steam
ind turned upside down so as to pre
vent the collection of dust which al
ways contains germs and mold spores
Small top pails should fie compulsory
by law
