A pit 18 inches deep where the water will not lies makes a suitable foundation. If the pit has not already been dug the bed may be set on top of the soil. As heat- ing material horse manure is the best to use. It should be piled im a fresh state near where the hotbed is to be and when it begins to heat is should be turned to make it of more uniform consistency. If ths manure is very strawy it will not heat quickly and may get too hot later on. Five 'or six Saye after turning it should be quite and is now ready for wae The bed is started from one end and the manure shaken in from a fork so that the long and short manure will be well mixed. It is important to tramp in each layer until the required depth is re.ched. From one foot to one foot and a hall is depth enough after the middle of March. After the manure has been put in the frame should be placed on and thes about four to six inches more w.anure put in dnd banked well around the sides of the frame both inside and out. Out- side the should be banked to the top of the frame and from twelve tw fifteen inches in width. The bed is now ready for the sash. Shelters made of one inch lumbur the same size as the sash, are used for covering thent 8 they help to conserve the heat in cold weather. In two or three days the sash' should be removed, the ma- nuré given a tramp all over waking it level and then the soil should be put on, The soil should be rich and of alight lcamy character and should be put on from five to six inches in depth and levelled evenly. In five or six days the hotbed will be ready for the seed but it is necessary to wait until the temperature has fallen between B80 ard 90 degrees. If the heat rises above this the sash may be raised little each day. A thermometer thrust in the soil is necessary to determine the temperature." When the bed has reached the right temperature the soil should be spaded over a couple of times, the surface levelled anc made fine with the rake. The seed may now be sown in rows about four inches apart and the same depth as one would say the seed in the open gar- den. Ventilation at this stage and afterwards must be carefully watched to avoid too high or too low temper ature, In th soil it should not get below 50 nor above 856 degrees. Such watering should be given as will keep the soil in nic. moist and not wet condition.

COD LIVER OIL FOR AILING HENS. Compared with yellow corn barley proved a poor substitute in the feed- ing of laying pullets at the Leth. bridge, Alberta, Experimental Station. These foods were given as part of a general ration to pens treated alike in other particulars. After a few weeks feeling the barley-fed birds commenced to appear unthrifty and a number of birds died. The illness much resembled roup. No indicativn of this trouble was observed in the corn-fed pens although no precautions were taken to prevent them from being ex- posed to infection from the other pens. The Director of the Station, Mr. W. H. Fairfield, in his report for 1927, published by the Dept. of Agriculture at Ottawa, believes the trouble was due to a delciency of vitamin A im the barley ration, By begin of March most of the birds in barley-fed pens were sick and mortality was feared. It decided to try 'eeding cod liver which was given at the rate quarter of a teaspoonful ou the oil per bird in the wet mash each Within two weks after the feeding f5e g g i ld fife soon. to normal and with the of some head swelling, we indication of the former trouble was
