What are they used for ? Interested garden :ans are hand` put to answer these questions on `the instant. You have to think twice. Not hard to be confused, either. A La` .'L...l -vv yvaunuccll, 'C1l4llCl'- A hot vbed, pure and simple, is nothing more than a bottomless box set on cultivated ground in a sunny position. It should be about 18 inches deep, sloping a little to the south. It should be -covered with a sash of glass or with cheesecloth, glass being better. As for size, build the hot bed to t What sash is available or you ll have difficulties. Old storm windows may be used for sash. Up to now we have `built only a cold frame. But to convert it in- to a hot bed it must beheated. See the point ? A hot bed is no more than a heated cold frame! HOT BEDS AND COLD FRAMES l A hot Ibed may be heated by steam pipes, `hot water pipes or by manure. In most cases only large blocks or hot bed lying close to big greenhouses are heated by pipes. You and I must be contented ,with a hot `bed heated` only -by a couple wheelbarrow loads of fresh manure. Old manure cannot generate nearly as much heat as can fresh manure. When the fresh manure comes to hand, it should be turned over and watered several times lbefore using. Thcn let it stand about four or five days, and, after watering` and turn- ing a few more times, allow it to stand for a whole week. It s ready for the hot bed. after that. Fresh manure must 'be cured in this Way to a certain extent as it will burn itself out through bacterial and chemical activity.

If there is good drainage on your land the hot bed may sit on ground level. But if drainage is poor it is better to set the hot bed on a built-up soil embankment which would assure good drainage. It is absolutely necessary that careful ventilation be always practiced in the care of hot beds and cold frames. Little plants have to be nursed along just like babies. Any carelessness or lack of vigilance in the matter of ventilation may mean damping-off and other fungus dis- eases which hcartlvessly undo every- thing` that you did up to that time, So, watch the ventilation.

It matters not that the rst fresh eggs no longer come with Easter, the beginning of Spring. The modern model of the humble hen may, and usually does, produce her excellent product the year round.

When they are cooked in the shell a pre- cise method is necessary to cook them to the right degree. Use one pint of water for the first egg and one cup of water for each addition- al egg. Bring the water to the boiling point. The shape of the keztle should be such that the water wili cover the egg. Place the egg in the water and cover the kettle. Remove from the heat and keep the water `not but not boiling for 6 to 8 minutes, depending upon the degree of cooking desired, for soft cooked eggs, follow the direction for soft cooked, allowing the eggs to simmer 30-35 minutes. Cool eggs quickly by plunging them in- to cold water, or letting cold water .run over them in order to pre- lvent blackened surface of the yolk. Hard cooked eggs can be used in a number of ways to give variety. I cooked or medium eggs. For hard Lindsay, Mar. 18.-Lady Hughes, widow of Sir Sam.
