AN OUNCE OF MEAT

An ounce Of edible meat lean
meat, fat and lean, suet or fat
trimmed from steak, chop. or roast
seems hardly worth saving.
Many households take lust this
view Of the matter-do not trouble
to put such in insignificant scrap
into the ice box or soup pot-do not
bother to save for cookery a spoonful
OF two Of drippings or tiny bit Of
suet or tat.
Yet if every one of our 2o.0o000o
American families on the average
wastes each day only one ounce Of
edible meat or fat, it means a daily
waste Of 1850 600 pounds Of animal
food 456,000,00 pounds Of valuable
animal food year
At average dressed weights, it
would take the gross weight Of over
$4,000 steers, or over 100000 hogs
bones and ALTO provide this
weight Of meat or fat for each gar
bage pail or kitchen sink. If the
bones and butcher waste are eGmi-
mated, these figures would be in
creased to 100000 cattle and 3,70O,-
0Og hogs,
Or again, if the waste were dis
tributed according to the per capita
consumption Of the various meats
excluding bones, it would use up a
combined herd of over $4,000 beef
animals. 291, 0o0 calves, over 625,O00
sheep and lambs, and over 2,I32, 900
hogs.
Millions Of tons Of feed and hay,
the grass from vast pastures, and the
labor Of armies Of cattlemen and
butchers also would be strapped by
this meat waste route.

MANURE AS A TOP DRESSING
IL Greatly Stimulates Growth Of Wheat
and Assists to Prevent
Winter Killing.

6By NJ T. MILLER. Missouri College of
Agriculture.)
Every year sees n greater number of
Missouri farmers using manure as a
top dressing on wheat. There Is con-
siderable evidence TO show where
wheat is grown In a rotation. manure
can very often be applied TO better adj
vantage as I'd top dressing on this
crop than as an application before
corn. There are two principal advan-
tages of this practice. The first one is
that IL greatly stimulates the growth
OF the wheat and he'll To prevent win
ter killing with a resulting increase I'm
yield. The second one is that since
clover and grass are usually sown with
the wheat and since manure aids very
greatly in securing a stand OF these
crops when used as a top dressing with
the wheat, this alone may be sufficient
reason for its application. As a mat
ter of fact the top dressing OF wheat
with mature almost insures n stand OF
clover or grass on land which is at all
suited 10 these crops. The land may
be too sour or too wet 10 grow clover.
