frame should ever be made more than
six feet in width, because of the dif-
ficulty in working with the plants
Iwhen the beds or frames are wider. It
may be made long enough to accom-
modate all the plants necessary. It is
0000••00
Farm and
Gardeni best to use a plank at least a foot
• oo • o • O.S,G•� wide for the side of the cold frame
that is on the north of the bed. Some
make this side of the bed eighteen
inches in height, as this gives more of
a slope toward the eight inch plank

tered side of some building or in the
angle formed by a high fence tightly

to reach it most all day, but some care
will have to be taken in regard to this.
as direct sunlight beating down
through the glass sashes over the
frame may beat the atmosphere under
the glass to a point that will hurt the
young plants.
The beds are covered with the same
type of glass sashes used on hotbeds.
The size that is just six feet in length
and three feet in width is the best.
The six foot sash length covers the
width of the bed nicely, and the three
foot width insures a sash that is not
too heavy to handle or very likely to
be broken. Strips are nailed across
the width of the bed to keep the sash-
es in place, and these are so arranged
that the sashes can be slipped up and
down across the bed with ease.
The cost of a cold frame is very lit-
- tie. The most expensive feature of
the undertaking is the glass sashes,
and where there are some old build-
ings about the place the gardener can
sometimes find enough old window
sashes to cover the cold frame, Little
or no digging is necessary, and a few
feet of scrap lumber will make the
frame. Old lumber is just as satisfac-
tory as new stuff from the mill.

Cold Frames Are a Means of Keeping
• Green Stuff on the Table.
Hotbeds are in very general use
among all farm gardeners, but the
cold frame as a metros of keeping
green stuff on the tables is much neg-
lected, says a writer in the Farm
Progress. Cold frames are no more
difficult to construct and but little
harder to'operate than the hotbed.
Their uses are many, one of the
most practical being in connection
with a hotbed In the starting and tak-
ing off of the young tomato plants in
the early spring. The cold frame is
in general use am'oug all market gar -
ileum's who are anxious to put their
products on the market early in the
spring and keep them there until late
in the fall.
Built like a hotbed in nearly all es-
sentials, it takes the plants after they
scatter straw or evennlannre over it.
SIM scald on apple and smooth bark-
ed ornamental trees may be prevented
,by shading the trunk with corn fod-
der, boards or paper Now is the time
to place such protectors.
Do not set Seed flats directly on ma=
n u•e 'Ina hotbed. There should be
three or four incites of soil to absorb
the odor and steam from the manure.

Prior to about the year 1970 the
Poland -Chinas averaged larger than
now, were inclined to coarseness
or sponginess of bone, had much
heavier, drooping ears and were
spotted with about even propor-
tions of black and white. Sines
then the tendency each year Ilas
been to breed them with more
black, until now those in highest
esteem have identically the color
and markings so long characteris-
tic of the Berksliires—vls., solid
black, with white feet, white tip
of tail, a little white on or about
the face and jowl and occasionally
a splash of white elsewhere. The

more pigs per litter with fall pigs, thus
making up the difference for the sum-
mer gains per litter.
I have my spring pigs to come not
later than March 1 and let them fol-
low the sow for not over eight weeks,
baying taught the pigs to eat 1u the
meantime. I pen the sow in a close
pen and have but once failed to have
her ready, to breed in from three to
five days by feeding her all she will
eat. Thus by Aug. 20 I have the sec-
ond litter, and generally a large one.
I provide a shady place to farrow.
By pushing the sow and, pigs for eight
weeks the sow is ready to breed again,
thus having early pigs spring and fall.
My fall pigs now will average over
100 pounds. My motto is to push them
until a 200 pound average is reached,
then sell. My time to sell Is when
only a few are ready to sell—namely,
March and September.
For bedding' in . the winter I want
nothing but corn fodder, and the
coarser and bigger the better, for the
hogs will have a chance to work it
down fine at their leisure; and will
have employment while in the bed.
Coarse bedding lies up loose, and I
have the first time to see steam rising
from it after the pigs come out an a
cold day. I feed my fall pigs after
they get to weigh 80 to 100 pounds
about all the corn they will clean up
and yet be ready to eat a little more,
twice a day always at the same time,
and for twelve pigs I feed at noon
eight quarts of shorts and one quart
tankage. But don't feed a host of
llce and vermin. Each time I bed my
hogs I clean out the house and sprinkle
the floor and sides with disinfectant,
and the hogs at all times have access
to a rubbing post, which keeps them
free from lice, mange, etc.

Potash is difficult to get now, not be-
cause there are no ships to carry it,
but because of the difficulty in secur-
ing railway and river equipment to
move it from the mines and store-
houses to the coast.
Corn fed the sows makes their pigs
fat before farrowing, hat the pigs need
fat only after their eyes open on this
world. Prior to that time they need
only bone, muscle and vigor. Alfalfa
bay, bran, roots and other protein
bearing feed prepare the sow for suc-
cessful farrewing. Corn fed sows are
the ones which die at this critical time
more than any other.—Farm and Fire-
