FEED PLAYED AN
 IMPORTANT PART

"On the job from the very start" may be the slogan appropriately ap piled the Phoenix Seed and Feed com pany in regards to their activities in the construction of the Arizona Pack ing companys huge plant on the Tempe road
 It was the feed from this store that was fed the many mule teams used in the work about the plant in the early days of It's building. No small amount of grain was consumed by these hungry animals. according to Ben stanton of the Phoenix Seed and Feed company, for their delivery department was kept busy for many months in supplying this necessary feed.
 Even with the completion of the job The part Co be played by this concern in its connection with the Arizona Packing company is not to cease for it will be the feed from their stock which will play an important part ir the fattening of the meat 10 be dis tributed from the new plant.
 The Phoenix Seed and Feed com pauy. which is located on East Jeffer son street carry a most complete stOcl of an manner of grain feed for stocl and chickens as we'll as poultry seeC of all kinds. garden tools. etc.

Experts Do Not AdUiSe Cotton
 Seed for Hogs

Due to the recent market Fluctuations in the price of cotton there has been thrown upon the market at reduced prices a large quantity of cottonseed meal. Cottonseed meal made by local manufacturers contains about 42 per cent protein and hog producers have suddenly became interested in it to re- duce the cost of production of pork. COttonseed meal is not a safe feed food for hogs. It produces a toxic poi soning which up to the present time science cannot explain. Results at the many agricultural stations in the south are united on this after having tried to feed it to hogs.
 The logical basis of swine rations in Arizona are the grain sorghums and barley. These feeds contain insuf- ficient protein and mineral matter. for young growing pigs and should be bal anced by high protein supplementary foods such as tankage skim milk, shorts and alfalfa. Tankage, a protein by-products of the packing industry, has proven to be the lifesaver for the corn belt farmer. It should materially aid the grain sorghum belt farmer. A recent feeding test conducted in Kansas 1 with milo maize shorts and tankage
 shows that it required 4J3 pounds of milo and A. pounds of tankage to equal 59O pounds of milo maize. to say noth-
 ing of the more rapid increase in the
 weight Tankage will make a 22(
 pound hog in thirty days less time
 Tankage, a highly protein product o

Their flavor strengthened him in his firm assur- ance that the Arizona Packing com pany is not only placing a clean, more sanitary product on the local market than it has ever had before, but is also giving it a better quality and more attractive food all around.

SUCCESSFUL WAY

To press tucks so they may look decorative and not have the usual flat tened appearance, stand the iron up on end and run the tucks over the iron, holding the material firmly between the hands with the rucks dunning downwards. In this way the material between and beneath the tucks will be pressed as well as the tucks them selves.
