HOTEL WASTES.

We met an old man recently Oh the
streets OF town hauling a small cart
Of refuse from the kitchen of large
hotel. lie said TO us, Just see here
what an awful waste of good food goes
on in connection with these hotels"
and called our attention to the charac-
ter of the refuse which he was paid for
taking away and feeding 10 his hogs.
Looking AT il, we discovered that there
were porterhOuse steaks. which cost
not less than 20 cents per pound, from
which only mOuthful or two had been
taken. large chunks and slices Of roast
beef and other meats: slices Of cake.
biscuit-in fact. all of the large amount
OF uncaten food ordered by guests
whose mental greed to get even with
the landlord far exceeded their digos
tive capacity. II is not much out of
the way 10 say that not to exceed 80
per cent of the food served at a hotel
Is eaten by the guests. The other 30
per cent we found in this old mans
garbage box. There Is a sense Of re
hef IN one way, In knowing that these
scraps went TO the pigs. as there is
quite general belief among many
mat IN the Interests Of economy these
discarded remnants later appear ON
the bill OF fare in the shape Of meat
pies, hash, cake buildings and various
other sundries, which are made attrac-
i've with a little spice and a French
name. still this is an unconscionable
waste and is all on par with the reck- |
less, wasteful methods of modern
American living. II must, indeed, be 4 |
great and good country where a PEG
pie can prosper practicing such meth

SORGHI VI.

During a recent trip we noted what
was really a great curiosity-viz, a
twenty acre field Of sugar cane grow
ing in the north. Thirty years ago
the growing Of patch Of sugar cane
was common thing with the pioneer
settlers. In every community would
he found mill for expressing the
Juice and boiling II down into mo.
lasseS. which TO large extent fur
nished the sweetening used by the
family Of the early settler. As sugar
decreased In price, less and less OF
the cane WIS raised, until now, as
above stated. II Is a rare thing 10 find
any sorghum grown for this purpose.
While the sorghum is high I'm saccha-
rine contents II was found after al
most endless experimenting that II
was impossible to convert the mo
laSseS, which was easily made. into :.
graduated sugar. While sorghum has
ceased to have any special value as 4
farm crop-as a producer Of sirup-it
still has one great value as a forage
crop, forming most valuable hog
feed during the late summer and early
fall In connection with a field OF rape.
More OF II should be grown for this
purpose than there is.

Gently by a successful farmer This
Is motto worth considering. and our
friend showed much wisdom In the
saying Of H. When one looks M grass

or this expression becomes apparent M

there the soil will grow constantly
richer and better. II is not saving too
much TO assert that every farm would

area was kept continuously In grass.
and by grass we mean clover. alfalfa
and blue grass.
Few farmers understand the value OF
land kept In grass as applied To pro
duction OF meat and milk. While we
cannot accurately estimate II. II is safe
10 say that the net profits connected
with good pastures are greater on the
average than net profits connected
with producing any Of our common
cereals An acre of good blue grass

meat or milk will give man. at pres
