BROWING EARLY PUNTS IN BACKYARD .HOTBED Proper Mtoctloo of aeeds with which I* plant a garden la stressed by the Pelted atmtea Department of AgrlctU ture. M should be the aim of every heme gardener this year to grow a better gardaa by meting the most In telligent use of the available space. Bet only by assptoylng better methods, bat by planting seeds of the Mgbest quality. The first cost of seeds ts comparatively small, but It la very Im portant that the seeds planted should be the very beat obtainable. Gardener* are adriaed to semre the catalogues of reliable seed firms and spend a little time In going ovar and cheeking op the aeeds that will be ??aded far planting. Do not be mUled by the highly colored and a??ch-advertieed novelties, hot stick to the atandard^jfrU to? - and preyed TCHB8T adrlae the spe cialists. Good seeds should never be wasted, so Agar* carefully upon the asaount required and place your order early before the baa* stocks are ?z hausted. Perhapa the aeeds can be bought from local dealers. If not or ders should go to a seed house In some neighboring city, bo the aeeds may be received In ample time. When they are received, unpack and check them to see that no part of the order has been overlooked: then store the seeds In s meueeproof, ventilated container, such aa a perforated tin box. They shoald be kept In a moderate tempera ture, and where they will not freese or be expoaed te motature. Have Karly Vegetables. Half the pleasure and profit at a. garden Is derived from having some thing to use just aa early in the spring as passible. In many dtlaa and towns the local greenhouse men grow thou sands of plants which are sold to home gardeners at reasonable prices. It often happens, however, that hosne gardenera do not have the opportunity IB purchase wall glow a planta, and ??at start their own supply of early planta In the hoaae or In a hotbed If tbay desire to havs their cropa mature early. Among the garden cropa that may be started to sdvantage In this manner are tomatoaa, early cabbage, pepper*, eggplant and lettuce ; even m cambers, melons, beets, snap beans. Hiss beans and sweet corn may be started Indoors by using flower pots, paper bands, or berry boxes to haW the sea. Whsre the required number of plants Is too greet for growing In window bases, a hotbed or eoldframe may be prwvlded. The usual method ot torn ?Li acting a hotbed la first to dig a shallow pit $ to 18 laches deep, ac cording to locality, and pack It full of fermenting stable manure. The ma&are. before b?ln# placed Id the pit. should be turned over once or twice In a pile In order to Insure even heat tog It may then be packed Into the hotbed pit and tramped uniformly. Stand.** hotbed sashes are S feet vide and 6 feet long, and the size of the bed should be made to suit the number of sashes employed. A frame work of boards IS to 24 Inches high at the back and about 12 inches high In front Is placed over the manure Oiled pit to support the sash. Use for Thermometer. About 3 or 4 Inches of fine garden loam Is spread evenly over the manure live days to warm up before any seed Is sown. At first the temperature of the bed may mi rather high, and It U best to delay planting the seeds In It until It begins to decline. This can best be determined by planting a ther mometer with the bulb about three inches below the surface of the soil. The temperature should fall below 85 degree* before seeds are planted. If glass-filled sasbes are not avail able for covering the hotbed, heavy muslin may be used Instead : the glass, however, makes the most desirable form of covering. Care must be taken to give the bed sufficient ventilation to prevent overheating, as it Is liable Jtn beat tip very rapidly when the sun shines full upon the glass. Watering shoold be done during the early part of the day aad the bed. given enough air as that the plants will dry off be fore night. The bed should be closed befet? evening. In order to conserve enough heat to carry It through jthe Bight In good condition. If the weath er ahoald tarn severely cold, a cov ering of straw, blankets or canvas may be thrown over the bed to Vo teet It. Coid^ame Construction. A eoidframe Is constructed In exact ly the same msnner as a hotbed, with the exception that no mant e Is placed beneath It to supply heat. Before the plants are set .In the Bur den, either from the hotbed or the eoidframe. they should be gradually hardened to outside conditions by- giv ing them more ventilation each day. Finally, remove the sashes entirely on bright days and replace them during the ntgMs. The aim should be to produce strong, healthy plants that will make a quick start when placed Id the garden. - TO HAVE AN INDOOR GARDEN PRUNING WILL GET RESULTS Main Your Baaa mant W?k far Yw by Producing Vagatatolaa Refer* MB pianllno Tim*.

V I WA Vi many bridges andl saw many beauti ful scenes as we traveled on. After a long. joyful ride we rode down one of th* streets in Raleigh. The tirst place we decided to go to was the penitentiary^ bat conld not get in because they were so busy . There we met Colonel Olds. So he got in the truck with the drire? to take us around to show us the many wonder ful scenes. The next place we went to was tfce Asylum ._ It walooe of the longest longest buildings in the sUUe. We weut Inside and Colonel OMs began to take us around. Ereiything was just as nice as a pin. 1%- was a long walk inside and we ?w many crazy worn eh. We went around to the cook room, and there 1 saw one of the big gest stoves 1 had ever seen. But as we were passing through one crazy K-oman started cominjg~Uter us. T no ticed that she was coming nearer. \nd 1 began to get a Uttle frighten ed. So to keep out of the way L lashed forward and liked to have fall The next place we went to was tvhere the old soldiers were buried. There I saw over fifteen hundred craves. It was a beautiful grave yaKh n one of the prettiest groves I ever iaw The next place Colonel Olds took us was to the rock quarry. It was a long and deep hole and some black water and a lot of debris In it. I no ticed that many beautiful rocks had been gotten out of which our Capital was dui it. ? ? ? ? . Colonel Olds took us around to to Old Soldiers Home. There I saw many old soldiers , Colonel Olds car ried us around to see an old soldier who was 100 years, 5 months old. Colonel Olds explained many things to us about him. We were told that he taught school 75 years. All of us shook hands with Mm. Then I knew that God had given him a. long life for his goodness and excellence. By this time it was twelve o'clock, and all the old soldiers went to dinner. Four girls escorted the old soldier to din ner. Colonel Olds said nothing could please him better. We walked on through the dining room where all the old soldiers were eating. As we passed on through near ly every one stopped eating as we attracted their attention. They had a fine dinner and were treated tucely. Then by this time we all got into the truck and went up the street to the Governor's Mansion. There we saw many beautiful flowers. We went in and visited the East Parlor, West Parlor and the Dining Room. There we saw a magnificent dining set in a beautiful safe. Then from the Governor's Mansion we went to the Y. M. C. A. Building and had a good time there. There- we sair a fine place to play basket ball and other games and af ter shooting some goals we went into another room to wash our face and hands. Some of the boys amused themselves by taking a shower bath. After this we spread our dinner out on a table and ate together. Colonel Olds eating with as. After we were through eating Colonel Olds took us to the Blind School. The first class we saw the girls seemed to be making little bead baskets. In this room I saw many fine baskets and hundreds of other specimens such that I had never seen before, which was done by the blind girls by the wonderful sense of touch. Their skill and accuracy is unbelievable. It was the finest work in art that I had ever seen. Then we went to the class rooms and heard the fourth grade ;- -vls read snro? by the sense of tour" The lady teacher was handsome i- -.laggag-wa had a conversation ? tj her a little bit . Then school ciused for tbs day. So after this we got the blind girls and men students to sing some tor us. The girls sang first, singing a qoar* tette. and one girl sang a solo. It waa Just a curiosity to sea the way they sing. It wu the sweetest singing I had ever heard. The mel ody was Just perfect as they sang It so softly sad so sweetly. Then after this the girls went out snd four youag men came in to sing. They sang several qnartetteo. This wss Just equal to the girls. It waa the first quartette 1 had ever heard. Then I knew that they were blind and their amhIUoaa had been high to mas ter such fine arts as they had pravod. Then a thought Oaahed ia my mind I knew that I waa no* blind bat ted good eyes and good opportunity.^7 Then I knew t hat 1 had not develop ed my talents that Ood had gitoa me.
