MINERALS IN LIVE STOCK FEEDING
Much has been written concerning
the subject Many advertisements

commercial mineral mixtures. In a
general way, it is difficult to prescribe
mineral supplements for live stock.
Almost as well try to prescribe plant
foods in the way of fertilizers without
knowing the nature of the particular
soil to be fed, and in particular the
chemical analysis (as disclosing the
deficiencies) of same.

and quantities of food; fed, the nature

The effect thus produced is that of

centre of one or two middle shelves.
A:most anything will be attractive in
this recess, provided one sternly re-
sists the temptation to fill it with ob-
jects that have neither beauty nor in-
terest. The shelves must not look
cluttered. They must not be filled
from end to end. Only one object, or
just a few, depending on size, should
stand on each shelf. This gives dis-
tinction. Of course the shelves should
not have on them doilies or atiything
of that nature.
