When it drops below 85 degrees the soil should be raked over until the surface is'fine, after which the seed may be sown.

This disease can be prevented by using care in applying water and by proper ventilation. Individual Boxes for Beds or Windows: It is often a good plan to set in- dividual boxes in the hot bed. A con- venient size of box is 3x12x18 inches is inside dimensions. These may be boxes used in windows with a fair degree of satisfaction. If boxes are used in the hot bed it is not necessary to put in t layer of cinuers tisfaciory, i for Boxes-- Equal parts of well rooted horse manure and sandy garden soil should | be prepared during the previous sum- mer and kept on hand for use in the boxes where seedlings are to grow, but {if this has not been done it will be [necessary to use a substitute. A | mixture of one part leaf mold, one part rotted sod and one part horse manure may be obtained and will prove equally satisfactory. Sowing Seeds in the Box-- Pack the mixture somewhat firmly into the box and level it off with a piece of board. A sharp edged piece of weod can be used for making shallow iurrows about a quarter of an inch deep and one and a half or two inches apart. The outside rows should be at least half an inch distant from the side of 'the box. Drop the seed along furrow with the hand, . putting in from eight to twelve seeds per inch. The soil is then filled in over the seeds and pressed down lightly, being careful that no hollows are left for the water.to i'e in.

Transplanting Before setting plants in the garden, the soil should be thoroughly smoothed down as for sowing the seed out of doors. The ground should be carefully { marked out and plants placed at regu- i lar intervals. The only tools required are a small pointed stick, a trowel, and possibly a spade. A very serviceable pointed stick can be made by. taking an old spade : handle and cutting it off at apoint eight inches from the 'D' or the part used by the upper hand. The holes should be made sufficiently large to accommodate all the roots without forcing off part of the soil that is clinging to them. The soil should be pressed firml; around the roots and water poured on to wash the soil into all crevices. Rules for Transplanting-- Transplanting on a cloudy day or i= the evening. Thoroughly séak plants into the hot beds, flat or cold frames. A with water about two hours before transplanting into the garden. When this is done the soil will cling more firmly to the roots of the plants and will be in better condition to start growth immediately.

In all operations of transplanting there is - bound to be a disturbance of the roots system and therefore to balance up the proportion between the root system and the leuves it is well to pinch or cut off from one-third to one-half of the leaf surface. All plants should be set deep- er in their new positions than they were in the hot beds, Some gardeners make a practice of setting cabbage and Cauliflower plants deeply in the. soil, e.g., the first pair of leaves should be just above the ground line. The soil should be firmly packed around the roots of the plant and if a rain does not come immediately after transplant- ing, it is well to apply water. If the sunshine is bright and the weather warm immediately after transplanting, it is a good plan to shade the young plants by the use of shinges, placed in a sloping position on the south side of plant r by the use of paper or boards placed in the same position. Select for transplanting the strongest and most vigorous plants. Such plants will be able to start growth sooner and will mature earlier than the smaller spindly ones. Early maturity of crops especi- ally tomatoes is very desirable in our latitude.
