S. II.: Do you, think it practical to

going about one hundred baskets to

Answer: I very much doubt wheth-

it in the silo at the present time. You
understand the curing of the ensilage

takes only a few broody hens to make
overcrowded nesting conditions in the
average poultry (rouse.
Pruning Bush Fruits.
Raspberries and blackcaps must not
be pruned until spring just before the
buds begin to steell. If pruned too
early they freeze back. These berries
are borire only upon new wood. Re-
move all the old wood of last year's
fruiting, prune the raspberries back
to about two and one-half feet from
the ground end the blackcaps should
have the side branches cut back to'
from six to ten inches long. The pur-
pose of pruning is the same as for'
grapes, i,e., to secure large and super-
ior fruit.
Currants and gooseberries should
never be cut back. About once every
three years, cut out considerable of
the old wood, especially that which is
tow`down. These fruits are borne on
old wood so dontprune too Severely,
New Treatment for Oat Smut.
Use one pint of formaldehyde for
fifty bushels of grain. It .is unneces•
spry and unsafe to use more form-
aldehyde than the amount recommend-
ed. Put the fresh formaldehyde, just
as it comes front the druggist, into a
pint or quart heed sprayer or atomiz-
er and spray the grain as it is
shoveled over and over. The formal-
dehyde may be diluted two or three
times to secure better dl trilwtion, If
the sprayer is kept close to the grain,
and if the treatment is given in a
roots where there hci n gond draft, the
penetrating odor of the formaldehyde
will give no discomfort. When the
right neimeet, of formaldehyde hes
been applied, shovel the oats into n
'heap and eovee for exnetly four hours
with a canvas or blanket., The grata

Rake the grain over during this air-

Hotbeds are much mors difficult to
manage than cold -frames, especially
in ventilation, Early in the season
the sashes should be lifted. at their
lower ends anti propped up with a
Mick having notches in it about an
incl! apart. The; sashes should never
be pulled down, thus exposing the
growing plants to the weather
changes, Ie the sashes aro propped
up, it keeps the glass over the entire
surface of the seed -bed and prevents
chilling draftsfrom striking the
young and tender plants. As the
weather warms up, the sashes should
be opened another notch or twa. in
early spring the beds should be closed
about the middle of the afternoon, so
that the heat cbtained during mid-
day may be retained during the !light;
1)o not open the sashes too early in
the morning; use ordinary discretion
in ventilating the hotbed,
If the nights remain cold, the beds
should be protected with coverings
laid over the sashes. Old blankets,
straw mats, or even old newspapers
are very good for this purpose. While
the manure inthe hotbed generally
retains its heat for three or four
months, it is sometimes insufficient to
keep out the spring frosts, Covers
should be laid over the sashes before
sun -down and removed as soon as the
morning' air has warmed up some. If
the weather proves very severe, extra
warmth may be obtained by increase
ing the number of co"'efings and by
banking the sides of the bed with
fresh stable manure. If coverings are
kept on the beds, the sashes must be
raised a trifle every morning to allow
the foul air to escape from the plants.
This must be done no matter how se-
vere the weather, - -
A Bold -frame requires less care than
a hotbed, as it contains no manure and
frequently is made without glass cov-
erings, The purpose of the cold-
frame is to harden seedlings that
come from the hotbed, that are to be
transplanted to the garden later. This
hardening is brought about by grade-
ally submitting the growing plants to
outdoor conditions by increasing the
ventilation as the season advances.
Ventilation of the cold -frame should
increase just as rapidly as the weath-
er warms up, until the sash or other
protective coverings can be removed
entirely without hurt to the plants.
As the ventilation is increased, there
should be a decrease in watering, so
that conditions of growth within the
frame may more nearly approximate
normal garden conditions.
Setting Plants in the Garden.
After all danger from frost is past
and the garden soil has warmed up
sufficiently the young plants can be
transplanted safely. Soak the koil in
the cold -frame with plenty of water
before transplanting. This causes the
eon particles to adhere to the tender
roots and helps Cham to get adjusted
to their new garden environment more
rapidly. After the plants are set in
the garden they should he watered
thoroughly once more.
Before plants are talten front the
Gold -frames far setting cup in the gar -
dee, have everything really for quick
mid effective work. The garden space
should be marked off into allotments
far the different crops, the petits
should be clearly indiea'ed and, in
same cases, the furrows should be
opened ready for the plants. The
garden space should be so arranged
that there! may 'be successive plant-
ings of certain crops at intervals of
one or two weeks without interfering
with other growing plants,
If fertilizer ee to be used al • the
thne of transplanting, it should be
evenly distributed throughout the 'base
of the furrows and should be well
mixed with the soil, For safety, a
layer of the top soil, an inch or two
deep; should be placed over this fertil-
izer at the bottom of the furrow, so
that the roots of the young plants
may be protected from coming in con-
tact with this strong plant food, A11
transplanting should take place on e
cloudy day or just before sundown,
never during the Beat of a noonday
Remove With a Trbwel.
If the garden soil is very dry, water
should be applied to the furrowand
then the holes should be partly filled;
with soil before the plants are set,]
Remove the plants front the cold -t
frames with a trowel or spade, and:
place them in baskets to take to the
place ,allotted to them in the garden./
Be sure that there is enough soil
about the roots of the young plants,
Plants should be set slightly deeper
than they stood in the seed -bed, Some
gardeners find it a great advantage to
set the seedling plants up to their
seed leaves. This helps the plant to
stand ereet and gives the roots better
opportunity to penetrate the soil.
Deeper setting protects the young
plants from temperature changes,
Spindly plants should always be set
rather: deep, especially when there is
any danger from late frosts.
There are four groups of garden
crops based` upon the temperature
conditions of their growth. The first
group, consisting of beets, early cab-
bage plants, onion sets, kale, smooth
peas, potatoes, radishes and cauli-
flower, may be planted as early as
two weeks before the last killing frost.
These are hardy growers and will
withstand most temperature changes
met with in spring. The -second group
comprises those that may be plahted
about the time of the last killing frost.
Lettuce, onion seed, wrinkled peas,
carrots, spinach, and sweet corn be-
long to this group. The third g•oup
can not be planted until all danger
from frost is past. Salsify, beans,
and .tomato plants belong to this
group, and should not,be planted out-
of-doors until at Least two weeks after
the last killing frost. The fourth and
last group consistsof those heat-
lov-ing plants, such as peppers, eggplants'
and squash, that should not be put
into the garden until four weeks after
the last killing frost or until warm
weather has finally set in.

The Little Old Lady Who Lived
in a Wood.
There was an old lady who lived in
a wood. She wore a black dress and
a tiny red hood; an apron of white
with big bows out behind as lovely
appearing as any you will find. But,
oh, she was selfish! She lived all
alone; no sharing of good things—not
even a bone. No bidding to dinner, no
bidding to tea; she could not afford it,
she said; no, not she!
One won she was Booking a choco-
late cake; there came an old man to
her door. "You can bake;' he told her,
"such wonderful, wonderful cakes
Please give me a piece for humanity's
sake. But mark what I say: I've no
money to pay, but your very first wish
shall be granted this day."
The old lady pondered how best she
could bake a cheap little cake, then
a wish straightaway make.
She bustled about with her eggs and
her flour and made many cakes in the
next busy hour; but all came from the
oven too rich, big or brown to waste,
she complained, on a silly old clown.
And so she kept trying,—one et'e

cooky she hid on the shelf!
"Too good for a stranger," she said
to herself.
Then she offered her visitor one

"Very well. Make your wish,
ma'am," was all that he said,
Just then an old peddler went by

calling loudly, "Conte back! 0 dear,
he can't hear, and I did want to buy

Too late she remembered the old
beggar's word.
She felt herself shrinking; her
nrnts became wings; her gown turned
to feathers—good-by, apron strings!
Her nose grew so lung that it was
