CITY PRODUCES
NEEDED PORK
THE SUPPLY
RAISED BY FARMERS.
AND USES NO GRAIN
HULL'S MUNICIPAL GARBAGE
GOES INTO MEAT.
Plan Suggested by Agricultural De-
partment as Good One
to Follow.
,By Associated Press)

Hull, Mass. Aug. 10.-This town
las a herd of 325 hogs which are
turning the garbage into pork, and
providing a cheaper disposal OF the
waste than was possible under the
former garbage reductions methods.
Hull's municipal or community pig
gerry has been undertaken in response
,to appeals for more meat production.
and officials of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture and of the
Massachusetts Agricultural College re-
port the system as practical.
The towns committee Of public
safety advanced the money to buy the
young pigs, which were taken at cost
by citizens. The land for pasturing
and housing the hogs was given free
so the only cost was for two large
hog houses. One man feeds and man
ages the entire herd. Each day the
uneaten garbage is taken away before
any more Is leu, All mugs are ihoeu'
lated against cholera and are kept
under sanitary conditions.
When the hogs are ready for mar
ket the unit cost of care and feeding
will be shared equally by the owners
and this sum, plus the original cost
of the pig, will be the only expense
to the owners. The public safety com
mittee is holding a. surplus of young
sows for breeding, since it plans tc
continue the system. Citizens of this
town extol the advantages Of its gar
bage disposal and recommend it fol
other places Of similar size.

A SmaSh.up.

Last Friday morning when
Brice Ham started with the 7:30
mail to Mercersburg, he could
not control the horse by reason
of the lines having caught under
the end of the singletree. The
animal turned west at Trout's
drug store and a front wheel
caught the lamp post and upset
the wagon. Brice and the mail
landed in a puddle of mud and
the horse took one shaft and the
singletree and made a tour of
the western streets and alleys of
the town. All damage was less
than witnesses expected to find.

A Big Year Tor Women.
From the Boston Transcript.

rum buS boobOu
This is beginning to look like a
big year for the women folks.
AS John marches off to war,
Mary steps into his job; and
while that is all very fine in an
emergency like this, what is John
going to do about it when he
comes back and finds Mary firm
ly established at his desk? That
is a question for the future that
must be met in England; and
consideration of it need not at
this time cause either concern or
anxiety. One thing at a time;
that is the demand of the hour.
And since John must go, Mary
must remain behind to keep the
wheels of commerce humming.
There are plenty of indications
that she will do it with enthusi-
asm, and if she proves her worth
in fields of activity heretofore
closed to her, Johnny will have
to find something else to do when
he comes marching home again,
hurrah! Undoubtedly he will
stay onward and upward, for
when this war is over the whole
world will need rehabilitation and
rebuilding, and there will be
plenty of work for every pair of
hands. With Boston society girls
going into the navy as radio op-
orators, and Boston women TAX
ing tickets on our street cars, the
economic upheaval may be said
to have begun. There is no rea-
son why a society girl shouldn't
send wireless, while feminine
conductors are assured of sue
cess, for they have long been
passing fair. Collecting nickels
will come to them naturally
with many women it is a gift.
They should bring a refining in
fluence to our popular vehicle of
transportation, and cause a gen.
eral sprucing up among mascu-
line passengers all along the line.
AS for the girls, the door of op-
portunity is opening at their
touch. The old order will change
but the new, no doubt, will be
far better.
