WHY DO WOMEN MARRY? ! Variety Of Reasons Advanced At Maryland Meeting. The Still Pond Farmer's Club of Chestertown. Md.. probed a deep problem at a meeting held there last Wednesday. The problem was: "Why do women marry when there are so many better chances open to them in business?" A variety of reasons were advanced, but at last accounts the ofiil Atton IjUCMlUU V> ao OVUI V^v?>. Some said women married because they did not realize the chance they were taking. Some said home is stronger than reason. Some it was human nature and they could not help it. Others that they married because it was the custom of their lathers and grandfathers. Some of, the women said they had looked tlior- j oughly over the field and made the j best selection and were sure they had gotten the right one. The next question was a more serious one. "How can we farm so as to use less labor and fertilizer while the price is so high?" More grass and Jess grain was suggested. ? I To Make Hotbed For Tomatoes To make a hotbed for starting early j tomatoes, you will need plenty of j * L f?'nm find I rresn muuk* manuiv uv?wvV mules. Some cow manure mixed in will not hurt it. Lime will damage any manure, and should never be mixed in manure. For the hotbed you will need a; portable frame and sashes. I use I frames that are six feet wide and j nine feet long, carrying three sashes j each 3x6 feet. To make the hotbed. I dig a pit six inches wider each way j than the frame. Get the manure and pile near the bed. Wherf it steams, turn and re-pile it, and when it again heats, put it in the 18-inch deep pit and pack down close. Put on the frame and bank manure around it and put in the frame three or four inches of fine fertile soil and level it smooth. Then stick a thermometer in the soil and watch the heat rise with the sashes on at night. When it has reached its highest temperature and has begun to fall to about 85 degrees, l J C1V. you can sow uie swu uumi inch rows and cover lightly. Now is the important stage in the management of the bed. If you leave the sashes closed in sunny weather you will bum up all your plants. Water with tepid water when needed. Always give some air by slipping down O?

'Then in March prepare a long frame j for hardening of the plants, for plants j grown in a hotbed till time to set in I the field will be crowded tall and ; weak and not worth much more than j plants grown outside.

A three-sash j frame on a hotbed will start plants I enough to till a very large frame, and i if not so many plants are wanted a single sash on a hotbed frame will start enough plants. The plants should be in the hardening frame by last of | March or earlier. Get my garden book.

Whether or not this be a desirable situation, it is a fact nevertheless, and must be faced as such. Many tenants-farmers are making their periods at tenants a stepping-stone to farm ownership, and this class especially should be extended every encouragement. In fact, the landowner everywhere will find it excellent business policy to give the tenant a square deal and a chance to achieve home ownership. One of the greatest things in life is hope,?a belief in better things and better days. So long as the tenant is hopeful he is ambitious and progressive, willing, anxious to do everything possible to increase yields; and profits. The landowner who has tenants of this kind is usually prosperous, while the man with dissatisfied tenants is rarely doing well himself. At the beginning of the new year we believe it is well for the average landlord to give thought to his illations with his tenants. Give them decent houses to live in; help them to get fertilizers and better varieties of seeds; offer prizes for excellent work; advance cash to them so they may LSHE WIL.ii JMUT LS dnesc !
