been going with her for about SIX
months. After we went together about
three months we quarreled, but later
made up. She is, of D somewhat quiet
disposition, but at times is very TAXA
tive. Since we made up she doesn't
act exactly like she used to. Some
times when | call in the evening she is
very pleasant, while at other times she
acts rather cold. This makes it very
disagreeable for me, and makes me
wonder somtimes whether she wants
me to come. Will you please tell
why she acts this way. Is it because
she does not want me to come any
more? If not, what is wrong with her?
THANK YOU.
Since the girl is of a quiet DISPOSE
ton she probably cannot help the way
she aces. If she tries to make eX-
cuses when you want to go to see her,
you have reason to think that she does
not want you to come, but if she seems
willing to have you come there is
nothing to worry about.

HOGS FED ON RAPE NEED SOME
GRAIN

Can you afford to feed grain to your
hogs this summer?
R. c. Ashby, in charge of swine at
University Farm, st. Paul, says you
can not afford to grow Them without
grain. He gives the results Of three
tests of feeding corn to hogs on rape
pasture to prove his claim
Six 50-pound pigs were put in each
of three lots, about quarter of an
acre IN size, on rape pasture. The
pigs in the first lot were fed a half
ration-2 per cent of corn; that is, two
pounds of corn for every one-hundred
pounds Of live weight. Those in the
second lot were fed three pounds of
corn for every one hundred pounds of
pig; that is, 3 per cent. The pigs in
the third lot were fed full ration,
per cent, of corn. The pigs were on
good rape pasture eleven weeks-from
July 10 to September 26. Their gains
were counted as worth 7 cents a pound
and corn was charged at IS cents a
bushe1.
The returns paid for the rape pas
ture an acre were: Lot No. l, $3.50;
lot No. 3, $66.72; lut No. 8, $1,000. If
the corn is figured at rs cents a BUSH
ell, the balance for the pasture on the
three lots would be $43.16, $51.36 and
$45.60, respectively.
Without the feeding of grain, the
pigs would have gained little, Mr..
Ashby says. Rape may be expected
to pay $50 an acre as pasture only
with the proper feeding of grain
