HINTS AND SUGGESTIONS
Municipal HOG Pen-Importance OF the
County FaIr-Cheaper Horse Feed.
Fish skin Leather.

why shouldn't Richmond have a
municipal hog pen?" Such is the
startling question well-known citizen
propounded the other day. He then
went on to explain that no had heard
OF one or more large towns. somewhere
out West which. hearkening to tho
conservation cry of the day, had gone
into the pork-producinB business. and
thus finding new use for the garbage
OF the towns. According to tho revela-
ton made by this man, the plan is to
establish pens beyond the city limits
a considerable distance beyond, NIL
them with hogs and feed them on the
garbage gathered from the back lots
OF the city. He says the towns that
have caught on to this wrinkle have
not only found tho best way ever tried
to get rid OF the garbage. but have
also found most profitable way at
the same time to increase the food
supply. This may be hint worth con-
sidering.
