Increase Farm Income. The farm Income Is nt Its lowest point in the early spring, but It can he, Increased considerably by the sale of young plants growu In the hotbeds and ready for transplanting. Tu'imto, cabbage, eggplant, and pepper plants are, always snapped up whe:i the tlrst win-in planting days couie, and they lire easily grown In the hotbed. A lit tle more space and a little more seed than the glower needs for his own use are likely to bring good profits. Be fore the ground freezes in the fall Is a good time to clean out the old hot beds.. Unless the soli used In the hotbed Is to be exchanged for fresh earth It should be shoveled from the bed and tossed Into a pile nearby. The decayed manure from the bottom Is sunttered over the pile and thoroughly mixed with it to form rich soil for next year's beds. Over this goes a coat of straw or, leaves held down by bits of board to keep It from blowing. Some farmers find It convenient to use evergreen boughs Instead of straw for the outer covering. Hotbed Should Face South. New hotbed pits should he dug so that they will face the south, and the location should be selected so that the beds will be protected from cold north winds and late spring storms.

A few loads of lenf mold from the woods mixed with the nat ural soil will often form a smooth, rich, p toneless muss which gives un Ideal hoi hod filler. The hack or north side of the frame Is usually itmde from 12 to 18 Inches high, while the south end Is about eight Inches, so that the whole bed mny have pitch enough to pet the sun upon nil parts. The stnndurd hotbed sah is handled by most dealers, and measures three feet In width and six feet In length. A frame Just wide enough to support the sash seems to he the most satisfactory, though wider beds are sometimes used with support ing ridtres placed at six-foot lntervuls. A; -well-painted cypress sash, glazed with KOd double-strendth glass well set In putty should give the careful gardener VI to 15 years' service. Hent for the hotbed Is furnished by means of n bed of horse manure 8 to 16 Inches thick In the bottom of the pit. Permanent hotbeds are often heated with colls of steam or hot-water pipes under the bed. Hotbeds require constant care to prevent their becoming overheated, es pecially during bright weather.

S. church, wub given a deed Saturday to jithe tract of land known as Wandumers park, in the southeastern , section of the city. Within a few hours he re assigned the deed to the city of Salt Lake, making It his Christmas gift to his city.. Muyor Neslen and the members of the city commission, within a few minutes after accepting the deed, decided to change the nume from Wandumero park to Nlbley park, thus honoring the 'public-splr- itcd man. who had done so much to perpetuate to this, city ono of' its historic playgrounds. Bishop Nlbley purchased the property, , u tract slightly less than 50 acres in area, yesterday morning from the L. D. S. church. The amount in volved in the transaction is said to be in the neighborhood of $150, 000. Of Historic Value. The park, used for the last few years as a golf links in connection with the Deseret gymnasium, is lo cated just beyond Twenty-seventh South street, between Fifth and Seventh East streets. It is one of the historic resorts of the Salt Lake valley, having been establish ed a few years after the Mormon pioneers entered this state, by the late David O. Calder. For years it was known as Caldor's park. Originally used as n picnic ground, It later became the niecca for ath letic contests of all descriptions, in cluding horse racing, bicycle racing, track events and later automobile racing. Some ot the world's great est bicycle racers made their repu tations in the motordome which was erected there. About 15 years ago, when prohi bition was not considered a prob ability, the Mormon church bought the property with the idea of estab lishing and maintaining a park, where intoxicating liquor could be absolutely prohibited. For several years the resort was conducted as such a pleasure ground, but with tho advent of prohibition there was not much demand for a strictly "dry" resort, and the ichurch au thorities turned It into a golf course. This course has been con ducted under the auspices of the Deseret gymnasium. ;ulf Spirit tirows. The growth of tho popularity of the game of golf attracted the at tention of Mayor Neslen and he be gan to look for un opportunity for Salt Lake tp own its own golf links. He talked it over with Bishop Nib ley at different times until the church official assimilated the spirit of a municipal golf links himself. The seed sown by the mayor was planted in fertile soil, and yester- duy It bore its 'first fruit. Bishop Nlbley said yesterday that much credit for the Idea should be given to Salt Lake's mayor. lie said the mayor had been urging such action for wto years and that he could not further resist. ! This is the happiest hour of my administration," Mayor Neslen said yesterday, when Tie learned of Bi shop Nlbley's Christmas gilt. "The deeding of Wandamere park means that the people will not only receive a playground which will, be a bene-' fit for all generations to come, but it marks an era of ipubllc spirited- ness. On behalf of the people of Salt Lakij I wish to express my deepest gratitude and appreciation of the gift which this generous hearted man has made to the city of Salt Lake." I I'ark Itenamnl. Tbo deed ot Bishop Nlbley pro vides that the tract shall be used as a park and municipal golf courso, and that no admission fees shall be charged. A nominal green fee. will be assessed against players.1 however, for tho purpose ot main taining tho course. A coincidence In the transaction was the decision of the mayor and city commission to rename the ipark In honor of the donor, for the deed to the property, which was notl drawn up and signed by Bishop and .Mrs. Nlbley until Saturday, stnu lutes that tho nark shall boar the name or Nlbley. The deed was not tiled until Tuesday, It was said Sunday golf on the, Nlbley course will be permitted under tho provls ions . of tho deed, which provides that the park shall be open and maintained for golf during all Boa- uons of the year. It is stipulated that other amusement features muy be installod ut the park, but they must not in liny wuy intortore with' golf. Such things as n swimming 'pool, skating rink, and possibly un athletic stadium may be possible in the tract, providing they do not interfere with tho "royal Scotch: game." i - The deed provides that If the park is not used as a public.' golf course in any period ot six oon- secutive months, or it the city of Salt Lake shall not suitably and properly maintain it ns a golf course; the deed shall become void and the (property shall revert to the gran-J tors, or their 'heirs. ' Bishop Nibley's gift places Snlt' Lake among those few cities which i now have a municipal golf course. (iAl'TK.MALA lt,Tll'Ii:s VNKJN (fly Asraclntrd Tress) WASHINGTON, Dec. 28. .
