MAYOR RETURNS FROM GARBAGE
 INVESTIGATION
Finds Rhode Island and Mass achusetts Cities Feeding Theirs
 to Pigs.

Mayor Buckingham and Dr. G. E. Ober. president of the board of health have returned from trip of several New Bedford where they went to in- vestigate the various methods of gar bage disposal that they may be better equipped to grapple with the problem when the bids are submitted for gar bage disposal at a special meeting of the board of health next Wednes- day at D. m.
 At Providence and Fall River they found the garbage is fed to pigs. In Providence the piggery is 10 miles outside the city while in Fall River the huge pens are in the outskirts of the city
 In New Bedford the same system is used as was in use here until few weeks ago. the garbage being disposed of by contract with a reduction plant which extracts the by-products.
 Neither Mayor Buckingham nor Dr. Ober cared to discuss their personal opinions as to the merits of the vari- ous systems, preferring to remain si- lent until the board of health meets next Wednesday afternoon.
 They were finely entertained by the Mayor of Fall River and New Bed ford. Hon. John F. Coughlin, Mayor of Fall River, is president of the Mas sachusetts Mayors association while Mayor c, F. Ashley of New Bedford has been elected for 13 consecutive terms. Both are Democrats
 Dinner was rendered the Bridgeport officials at New Bedford, at which the mayors and boards of health as we'll as the fire chiefs and other off cials of both Fall River and New Bedford attended.
 Mayor Buckingham came back chock full of new ideas and informa- tion as to municipal government. In New Bedford he found that through the use of a new block map system the city had raised its grand list ST. 900, 900 in one year. Through an au- tomobile trip in which Mayors Ash ley and Coughlin entertained the vis- itors. they were given an opportunity to see the workings of the various de- partments of both cities.
 Both the Massachusetts mayors are heartily in favor of frequent confer ences of the mayors of various cities. They believe in attending the annual conference of the League of American Municipalities. They assured Mayor Buckingham they would soon avail themselves of his invitation to visit Bridgeport.
 At present the garbage in Bridge port is being buried at 50 cents ton by John T. King, who Hau nlIneftO collected the garbage and delivered it at the reduction plant. The burial is being made at Lakeview home, the cost being the same as when the gar bage was reduced.
 Bids for the disposal of the garbage in various ways will be received next Wednesday afternoon At the meeting of the board of health there will be present the conference committee, which includes besides the mayor and the president of the board of health, the presidents of the Business Mems association, the Manufacturers asso- citation and the Board of Trade.

Figuring Cost of CROP.

DR.. H. c. Price of the Ohio Agricul-
tural College has charged his farm
land with 35 cents per hour for man
and team and the market price for
the products grown. and gets the fol-
lowing results: One sixty acres Of
corn yield was 7y.S bushels per acre,
which cost s20.39 to produce, and was
valued at s49.47. This showed clear
profit of s29,O8 per acre. On clover
hay he raised 81 tons per acre on if
teen acres. This cost $3.50 and pro-
duced s25.26, or profit of 1888 per
acre. His twelve acres of wheat aver
aged 1929 bushels at cost Of $3.50
per acre. and with a yield of 1852
per acre showed a profit Of $3.50. On
oats he had yield of 207 on eight
acres. The cost was $1213. the pro-
ceeds s12.56 and the profits 43 cents
per acre. With ga acres of potatoes his
yield averaged 1873 bushels. which cost
$57.67 and yielded $S4.S9, with profit
of S27.22 per acre. In his locality this
would seem TO indicate that all crops
pay. but that corn is the most profit
able, with potatoes second and oats
with almost no profit.

novel and interesting museum well
worthy the attention of all who find
themselves In that prettiest Of South
Down villages. According to the
Strand, the exhibits displayed there
In are principally examples of the art
of the taxidermist, but the subjects
are treated in such a humorous man
ner as to render the museum unique
in England. From a child's point OF
view 1t Is a veritable wonderland,
reminiscent Of the strange sights seen
by Alice when she made her journey
into that delectable country. 1t is not,
however, only the juvenile who is cap

genuity there displayed
The idea of thus combining the art
of the taxidermist with that of the
humorist was generated in the brain
of the veteran proprietor, Mr.. w. Pot

to construct his first set piece, illus

Mr. Potter, 1t may be stated that nc
fewer than 100 specimens of British
birds are included in the setting. In
addition to the birds which figure In
the story there are the cuckoo, night.
