A SOLDIER ENTERPRISE.
ISioux City Journal.

Some soldiers at one OF the military
posts in Oregon, tired Of the ennui OF
idle camp life. turned to hog raising
as a diversion.
They bought some sows, fed them
from the slop and table waste OF the
post, and it was soon melodious with
the squealing of nice little fat pigs. 1t
was music to the soldiers ears. 1t re-
minded many Of them Of their early
days and of the home on the old farm.
With this first experiment they took
new interest, not only in the raising of
pigs, but Of truck farming that grew
into a money income and into con-
siderable saving of the expenses OF the
company. They sold one hog recently
that brought SIS.
Isn't there suggestion in this shat
he soldiers would be better of II they
had something more along the same
line by which the cost of the idle army
could be materially reduced? The sail
crs on the ships couldn't raise hogs nr

fish.
