Corn. however, is not affected by it. but it is passed on to the gizzard to be ground up. Since the chicle is so well provided with the OleAlIS of softening and grinding its food, why do the work for it by feeding 0. mash?

In making a hotbed tbe conditions of soil, location and climate are to be taken into consideration, The main things to acquire are heat and sunlight. If on a wet or heavy soil it is better to make the bed on the surface.of the ground. Isar illustra- tion, if the frame is 0x16 'feet pet tbe manure on the ground evenly 10x20 feet, place the frame on this and cover with sash. Cover nights with mats or boards until you have a proper and even heat. Make the seedbed of good, rich soil or com- poet about 4 in. deep; cover as be- fore until all is warm, then sow -the seed. Use horse manure that has not been burned or heated. The thickness of manure in bed sheuld be governed by circumstances. If the bed is made early and in a cold cli- niate, it will require 3n04 -e manure to 1011* the heat, than if made later or in a warmer climate. The franie can be made of sound inch -lumber or thicker if desired. The tipper side should be 16 inches high and the lower 12 inches. That will gi VO slant enough. It given more pitch the heat will rise to the upper side and 1130 plants will not grow even. The end "'boar should be put on 1 or .2 inches higher than the sides to keep out the cold. Put in crosspieces 011 ties where -the sash ‘ join. The sash can slide on these, at'same time keep out cold. If you wish a frame to take apart and pack away While not in use, put in small n corer posts and bolt together with "small carria,ge bolts. ]loxes 14x24 inches and 3 'inches deep made 'of -3„- lumber, with ends, filled with soil are haiide. 8Cabbage, cauliflower, tomato or any plants D ecessary to harden Or l'eMOVe to cold frame need prepare to set in open ground can be sown arid handled in this War.
