SOME EASILY MADE
AND EFFECTIVE BEDS
BY l.. M. BENNINGTON

A charming hedge is made by plant
ing scarlet saliva in row as back
ground, then row of white nicotiana,
with blue ageratum as border. Here
we have the patriotic colors of our
flag effectively combined.
The blue of the ageratum and the
scarlet of the SALIVA would prove a
rather violent contrast If planted next
each other, but separated by the white
of the nicotiania, their aggressiveness
is toned down in such a manner as to
produce pleasing effect.
Another lovely hedge is made of zin-
MAS in the back row, then calliopsis,
with white phloX as border.
Fine effects are secured by the lib
eral use of ricinus. This plant will
grow to a height of seven or eight feet
in rich soil, with leaves often a yard
across of a rich bronze green, overlaid
With a coppery luster.
Ribbon beds can be worked out with
good effect by using different colors of
the verbena in rows. Such beds are
most pleasing when near the house or
close to the path, where they can be
looked down upon.

MINERALS FOR COWS
DURING THE WINTER
Ohio Expert Advises Dairymen TO
Feed More Calcium, Magne-
SUM and Phosphorus.

Dairy cows fed the usual winter ra-
tons cannot produce large milk yields
without loss OF minerals from their
skeletons, says Or. Il. b. Forbes Of the
Ohio experiment station, basing his
statement upon recent Investigations
of the department of nutrition. From
his results he advises dairymen to give
The high-producing cow feeds rich in
minerals, especially calcium magnesi-
um and phosphorus. A gradual shrink
age in milk yield or failure to breed
may be due to mineral depletion, he
continues.
In his experiments different rations
varying in mineral content were fed to
heavy-milking Holsteins. More calcium
magnesium and PHOSPHORUS were Civ
en- Off in the milk and excreta than
were present in the feed, although the
cows maintained their live weight dur
ing the experiment and stored sulphur
and nitrogen.
Doctor Forbes says that the COW
must draw upon her bones to supply
this deficiency, because her capacity
to produce milk Is much greater than
her ability to digest minerals.

Winter protection is valuable for all
plants, no matter how hardy they may
be. The object of this is not to keep

the sun, especially In the spring, from
warming and thawing the stalks and
ground, thus exposing the plant cells
to alternate thawing and freezing,
which is very hurtful to them.

Manure Argument.
This is not alone an argument for

argument for producing more manure.

FEEDING OATS AND
PEAS TO DAIRY cow
For Early Green Feed and Sum-
mer Hay Of Good Quality Sow
One or More Acres.

For early green feed for cows in
milk, and for good quality of hay
for summer and early fall feed, sow
one or more acres with field peas and
oats. Select deep, rich mellow land,
spread about IL two-horse loads of
rotted manure per acre on top of the
plowed ground, and sow six pecks of
field peas to the acre and harrow the
field both ways. This will put the
peas in at their proper depth. Then
drill two bushels of heavy seed oats
per acre. If ground is dry, roll after
drilling
Field peas do best on well prepared
rich land. Sown the first part of
April, the crop will be fit to cut and
feed to cows the first week in June.
This combination makes a splendid
feed. No grain need to be given where
lhis oat and pea forage is fed. 1t
should be cut and allowed to wilt a
Few hours before feeding. Feed a
small quantity at first and only when
free from rain or heavy dew. The
quantity may be increased gradually.
If too much is fed at first it Is liable
TO produce hoven. The Canada white
tielu pea is a hardy and prolific vari-
.ty. 1t will average 80 bushels of
sured peas and two TO three tons of
cured hay to the acre.
The field pea is hardy and does best
when sOwn early In spring when the
ground is cool and moist. The Vir-
ginia cowpea cannot be sown until
the ground is warm and dry.

SOME HINTS IN SEASON
BY <. VAN BENTHUYsEN.

Give your garden crops just the fer
tilizer they prefer. Remember that
plants furnish us with edible leaves or
stalks, flourish if given nitrogen when
the fruit, root kernel or bulb, is the
edible part dose with ashes, potash or
phosphoric acid.
Keep an eye on the hotbed when the
sun shines brightly. Too much heat
will make the plants weak and spindly.
Get the brush for the peas and poles
for the beans when it is too wet TO
work in the garden.
If you have no hOtbed, SOW seeds
in shallow boxes placed in the south
window. Provide drainage, and water
them when the soil feels dry TO the
touch.
Do not pillow too early in the spring.
Wait until the ground Is dry. Follow
with the harrow until the soil is finely
pulverized.
Let the rows run north and south :
this gives the most sun exposure.

Perennial LARKSPUR

One of the plants which has bene-
fitted much of late years from the sch
enti6c attention of growers is the del
phinium, that perennial larkspur"
which gives such grateful bit Of
shaded blue when grown correctly.
A bed or border of delphiniums will
often remain in full flower over a pc
riod of three months. and they form
one of the small but gallant band of
plants that will endure much bad
weather.

When well-grown 1t is difficult to find
a more useful plant for room and win

to them is fresh, turfy loan, with n

PLANT CANNAS

Plant cannas one to two feet apart,
depending altogether if they be dwarf
or the tall-growing sort. They like
very rich soil and plenty of water dur

strawy manure will help to conserve
the water that is given them. Cut off
all the seed-pods as they form.

shipment to the smelters, but no
regular production has been under

best to devote all available energies
to development work and blocking
out ore.
The new work in the southern
part of the properly has proved to
be of more than passing interest "a

parts of the property, as well as in
