above theirsurroundings with the first

The Mediterranean region and
southwestern Asia constitute the nat-
ive lands of these gay -colored lilies,
from whence they have spread to
nearly all lands. A favorite method o
planting is to set the bulbs (corms),

desired -they should be planted not lat-
er than the middle of September.
Many questions are.asked about
the seeds, (Seeds are produced, but'
most amateurs loole for then in the
wrong place. Seed pods are not on
stalks, but area set underground. Re-
production from seed is slow-, how-
ever, and thus plants are chiefly pro-
pagated by bulbs,
'Although there are several meth -
methods of ,preparing meal mixtures
for feeding pigs, the following rules
are recommended • as safe practices in
producing hogs of the desired type:
(I1) Grind all grain. Fine grinding is
recommended especially for young

feeds; do not use too much water but
feed as a ,fairly thick slop., (0) Hand

curing hogsof a desirable type. (4)

Idarvesting of spring grains is prac-

ter -harvest cultivation.Some 'fields
are reported already sown to fall

during the next week or two, a norm-
al winter wheat crop will be sown.
Horses, mules and "asses' of all
