Months or yeais later, some return. One floated nearly across the'Atlantic and back, and another crossed the widest part of the Pacific in a little over two years. A third, dropped near the Cape of Good Hope, was picked up on the western coast of Australia.

As Hus road is in the middle west and south, where mountains are not encoun tered, the figured given are regarded as conservative. The cost of putting the sand into the engine box is placed at 82 AO a ton as mi average minimum. For all the roads, the yeariy oost is estimated at $2,637,070. For the most” part the sand is brought from river bottoms and dried by waste steam at the round house. * * * \ v ' Clever put an inside patch in a slit tube whore the slit is over 1 in. long, because this will weaken the tube.

Under-Glass Plan for Young Plants Protection That Speeds Up Growth and Produces Sturdy Sprouts. Glass, even if it be only a fragment •f a window pane with which to cover a. small seed box, or an old tumbler to set over a cutting in a flower pot, is one of the essential materials of a plant grower In climates where there is frost. French gardeners raise acres' of plants under “cloches,” or bell-shaped glasses of various sizes, 'which set over the individual plants to speed up growth. Wonderful lettuce is grown this way. Glass keeps the heat in and the cold out, while letting in sunlight. This Is the chief principle of the hot bed, which is an essential institution tn a garden of any extent. The heat usually furnished by fermenting horse manure is conserved and fostered by Ir- !=;; g3ASH j * ~ sajcvh *5 "Z oaooND levcL. ’"T •» 1 "Ml ‘ j— J “~| __ U ■ fi* . -rll WAMUM CBOSS SECTION COLO FRAME.

When a hotbed cannot be main tained conveniently because of the difficulty of securing a supply of fresh horse manure as its foundation, a diffi culty that is becoming more real each year, a coldframe or heat less hot bed can be used as a substitute, al though it cannot* be uffßzed for a month or six weeks after the hotbed usually is at work. Hotbeds may be artificially heated * by steam or hot water pipes, but only a few gardeners will be able to afford such a luxury or will have a location to permit it being used conveniently. The construction of a hotbed is pot at all complicated. In fact,, any frame built to accommodate a glass coyer may. be used, provided It is of suffi cient extent to encourage fermentation of raanurf. While It is best to use the standard-sized hotbed sash sold by all dealers, which are 6 feet by 5 feet each* old window sash may be utilized for the purpose. r :. Knockdown frames te bold this sash are sometimes sold, but they can be manufactured by any carpenter or by the; gardener himself if be is at all handy in the use of hammer, saw and nails. The usual unit is 6 feet 2 to 3 Inches by 6 feet, accommodating two standard sashes. The extra inches are necessary to permit of the plac ing of a cross strip between the sashes upon which their inner edges mpy rest firmly- This . crosspiece usually b| grooved go that any mois ture that may seep between the edges of the sash and the crosspiece would drain down the groove and not drip into the bed beneath. *** If the bed is to be permanently lo cated it Is best to make the frame of heavy lumber, 2-inch stuff that may be bolted together with angle irons in the comers.

The back of the sash should be 18 inches high, and the front 6 Inches to 10 inches. Some types are 12 to 15 inches high at the back and 8 to 10 inches in the front* These, however, are only use ful for seedlings and low growing plants. The taller type will keep the plants until they have attained con siderable height and is also available for a coldframe in which plants from 6 to 10 inches may be wintered. A frame should always face the south, with no houses, trees, or other objects to cast a shadow over it or cut off the sun. If sloping land can be secured for the frame, it ia an added advantage- if the land slopes to the south, as it will give more direct rays of the ins upon the glass. —National Garden Wuasan. • l? . • * S ‘ \ NUMBER 44.
