Agricultural Experiment Station; Agriculture -- New York (State). i6i8 The Cornell Reading-Courses provides ample room for walking around and working in the hotbed. A stake is placed, at the required distance from the windbreak, at the east end of where the pit is to be and another stake at the west end, allowing an extra foot for space in which to work while the woodwork is under construction. The distance between the east stake and the west stake will be in accordance with the number of beds that are to be made, plus i foot. If but one bed is made, 3 feet will be allowed for the bed and 1 foot for working space; if a frame of four beds is to be made, then, con- sidering the width of each bed to be 3 feet, the distance between stakes. Fig. 11.—A practicable hotbed, constructed as described in text will be 13 feet; and so on, according to the number of beds to be made in one range. Stakes are now placed 7 feet south of the east and the west stake. The distance east and west between the last stakes placed should be the same as that between the first two. A line is stretched around these four stakes and the work of digging out the soil is begun. If the land is level the hole, or pit, should be 30 inches deep, and the dirt should be thrown out on all sides so that it can be used later for filling in and grading. Although a depth of 30 inches may seem rather great for hotbeds farther south, yet for average conditions in New York and in the northern United States,.
