MINERAL MIXTURE
NEEDED BY SWINE
Grain and Forage Rations
Must Be Supplemented.

That the ordinary grain and forage
rations used for feeding our hogs must
be supplemented with q mineral mix
ture Is fact upon which all investi-
gators agree. A typical statement re-
iating to this subject was recently
made by A. Severson OF the North
Dakota experiment station, as follows:
"The ordinary grain ration does not
contain the variety nor proper
amount of mineral matter required to
rapidly develops large frame for early
maturing hogs. One can expect con-
siderable percentage OF weak, under
sized or unthrifty pigs when no min
eral mixture Is used. Without MIN
eral matter sows are apt to 60 down

pasterns and many times become so
week they cannot get up when nurs-
Ing large litter OF pigs. The milk
drains heavily on the skeleton OF the
sow to supply the proper amount OF
mineral to the milk. The constant
addition of mineral matter to the
sow's ration will avoid this aIlment.
Hogs are more apt to suffer from
mineral deficiency than other classes
OF live stock"
Such products as tankage and skim
milk are rich In mineral matter, but
under average farm conditions they
are seldom, il ever, fed In large
enough quantities to supply the
amount needed. Those who have been
carrying their pigs on a light grain
ration with perhaps rather skimpy
pasture should not overlook the feed
Ing of liberal supply OF minerals.

SUMMER And
FALL FLOWER
SUGGEST IONS
Rv MARGARET WHEATLY

March is a month Of great aetiE-
ity both in the flower and vegetable
Garden. 1t is the time when the
soil warns up, and remains warm.
March is the month for working
outside. The ground should be IN
first class condition, now that we
have had rain to really begin the
garden season right. If one ever
feels the gardening urge 1t should
come now. It should make US want
to do things, to dig, to sow, to pro
pagate, and to put new life into our
home grounds.
To be a successful gardener, we
must begin preparations about SIX
months before we are to have the
blooms for which we are now plan
ming. Spring is the time TO plan
and prepare for fall flowers. There
fore if we are to have fall flowers,
we must give some attention now
to the plants which are to produce
them. The most important fall
flower is the chyrsanthemum. That
gorgeous flower that gives to our
gardens the orange, bronze, and
yellow colors which We all love. Dig
the elumps which are putting new
growth, pull off young plants which
will be found all around the outside
OF the old clump. These will come
off quite easily, and have nicely de.
veloped roots all their own. Plant
out where they are to bloom, and
when the plants are about one foot
high go over the bed and pinch out
the tops. This will make them
spread, producing strong plants
which will require no stalking, and
many more blooms viii develop than
if left to grow up into tall plants.
This is generally the method en-
ployed when growing for house dee
orations. OF course for show flow
ers, the plants are treated in an en-
tirely different way, but most of us
are not interested in growing show
flowers, but the more graceful
smaller ones for bouquets. 1t may
be found that if your chrysanthe-
NUNS are planted where they do
not receive the sun all day, that
the blooms will be of better quality
You may want to SOW seed Of some
of the single varities. If so now is
the time, and after the young plants
are up. treat as you would any of
the half-hardy ANNALS.
The Michalemas daisies and the
Shasta group should also be divid-
ed now. using. as in the ease of the
chysanthemum, the Young plants
from the outside Of the old clump.
Try bordering a bed of larkspur
with Shasta daisies. The effect is
very good. Hollyhocks bordered
with daisies is also very effective.
Along with beginning the pre-
paration for fall flowers, we should
continue to plant and transplant,
and propagate cuttings for summer
flowers. Sow any of the half-hardv
annuals such as the asters, ten
weeks stocks, zinnias, marigolds and
petunias, particularly the last three
named.
For succession Of bloom the
gladiolus bulbs may be planted ev-
cry two weeks from now on. II
should be remembered that they
bear their blossoms on the side of
the stem facing the sun, therefore,
1t will be found better if thev are

GOOD ADVICE TO
THOSE PLANNING
TO BUILD HOME

Life to prospective and actual
home builders is one continual round
of problems. Regardless of the skill
of the architect or how carefully
financed the future home may be,
there are thousand and one ques-
tions that arise daily calling for de-
cisive response. Mr.. Hemebuilder
delegates to himself the right Of au-
thoritv over matters affecting con
struction and soon finds himself in
a labryinth of technical problems,
concerning protection from heat and
cold, insulation, soundproofing, a
dry cellar and the character of the
roof.
Mrs. Homebuilder bravelv faces
the task of choosing labor-saying
devices for her kitchen and laundry.
and attempts to absorb quickly a
complete knowledge of matters con
cerning wall treatment, col 7
schemes and lighting.
After days and days consumed
in visiting salesrooms. listening to
skilful sales talks, Mr.. and Mrs.
Homebuilder often find themselves
more bewildered than ever.
AT this stage, we suggest that you
drop in for a chat with us. at the
Building Service Bureau, Rooms 20
p Bank of Italy building, e. Cen
tro. We have no axe TO grind. We
do not build homes, nor do we sell
anything. We merely assist with
ideas and suggestions along the
lines of better building. From hav-
ing performed this service over a
period Of wears We have acquired a
rich experience that is your for the
asking.
