THE CHARLOTTETOWN GUARDIAN

A hotbed is a miniature green- house heated by the nntttrul fermentation of horse tnnnure, fur- nishing the easiest and least ex~ ‘pensive nteans of securing a two‘ ‘mouths’ advantage or more in the ‘growth of "cgetnbles ind flowers ireqttiring a tong sensor to produce . fntl crops. These plums. for the most part. are too tender to be planted in the opul ground before the fit st of iVlay at the ehrlitst.

The two months’ growing start they receive through planting the seed in March permits them to be- gin bearing two months ember after they have been trnnsplan ed into the open ground than if the seed planting had been delayed until the absence of frosts made it safe to plant in seed beds in the open. Not only is the hotbed an ex ccllent device for getting such early plants as are too tender to plant in the open before lliay 1 going. but it gives a great advan- Luge in starting hardier plants which will stand considerable frost well into their development. Of tbc tender plants usually sown in a hotbed are the tomatoes. eggplants und peppers.

Cubbages und celery are ex amplc... of hurdier vegetables, while all of the hardy annuals which transplant readily may be in shape. to set into blooming quarters, bring- 'ng their first flowering in lute May and early June instead of trait- ing the usual course of develop- ment until July.

The hotbed also will give earliest crops of rntlisiles und lettuce by planting those hardy vegetables in

he hotbed in iiinrch and allowing Lin-m to develop tlure until usable. This. however. is the it-ttst iln- gortnnt of the use; of the lwlllk‘ gurdeti frame.

once came to the conclusion it was a den of bears. in the meantime l nad crept to a hole whice aftc rwardg proved to be for the purpose of letting air into the den. and, putt- lug my our to it was listening to a [Ritlllliill rustling inside. Judge my surprise when l felt the wnrm breath of the old she-bear cm my cheek and hear the snapping of her jaws inside. "Samuger" who was close by hulrd ‘the snapping und shouts. “What is that. Jim‘! limbs crnckiu.“ "Nu. by Judas," i replied. "but foxtraps snappin."

After this it was a race for who would get home first. As l was jumping front the tree l could hear fearful trumping and stamping in the den. which fairly made the earth tremble. cbming from the old beur to frighten us off. l have since learned they act very lunch. if disturbed. like an infuriated ram before he charges his victim.

At the start the big fellow was ahead. striding and floundering in the deep sll0W. and lifting on his mudscuws at every stride junks o snow the size of a puucheon. i soon passed him. once i got under way; nnd going home asked father for my big horse pistol. He hnd locked it nway u few days before on account to my sending a loud 0t’ “herb trimmers" whistling through the bottom of a valuable wash tub, rendering it utttit for use. lle asked what l was going to do. "Going to shoot beats," was my reply. No sooner saidlhen l was suddenly and unceremoniously taken by the buck of the neck and with n dextrous movement of the right‘ foot sent sprawling in the snow outside.
