Greatest Saving in Garbage

The greatest element of saving is through the garbage. This has beer sold for an annual price of $446,994- 50. The garbage from thirteen of the cantonments will be used for feeding swine. It is estimated on the basis of experiments conducted at the Chil- licothe cantonment that the garbage waste from 10 to 15 men will feed one hog and enable it to add to its weight 1 pound per day. At this rate the garbage from these IS canton ments will produce 1S,98O,OOO pounds of pork per year.
 When not used for feeding, the gar bage will be reduced" that is, cook ed at high temperature, the grease ex- tracted and the remainder ground and used for fertilizer or feeds.
 By the method of incineration for merly in use, not only would all these valuable waste materials have been destroyed, but it would have cost ap- proximately $7OO,OOO for the installa- ton of incinerator plants and an an

TO ELIMINATE
 WASTE MATERIAL
 INCANTONMENTS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4, (By MaiD The Food Administration makes public the following:
 The War Department has taken elaborate and comprehensive precau- tions to prevent waste in the Army cantonments, which will soon contain more than 2,OOO,OOO men, and in the embarkation camps. In the feeding of the men waste will be minimized through the fact that the food will be prepared under the direction of mess cooks, who will be trained by special courses in Army cooking schools.
 The officers training camps have not been under the control of the War De- partment so far as the food supplies are concerned, and the waste in those camps has been due to the lack of skilled management in the handling of food. A committee representing the War Department and the U. S. Ad. ministration will also assist in deal ing with problems of eliminating the waste.
 Will Save Thousands of Dollars
 The Food Administration has receiv- ed from the Secretary of War an an- nouncement of a thorough-going plan for conserving all the waste material of the National Army camps, which will result in salvaging many thous- ands of dollars.
 The Army's first consideration in planning this work has been the san itary and hygienic problem. At each cantonment the wastes will be collect ed and transported to a single trans fer station" under the direction of the sanitary inspector. Through the use of the two-can system wastes will be tightly inclosed throughout their col lection. Sterilized cans will be sub stituted for the filled cans at the kit chens, the nuisance of disagreeable odors and danger from flies being re- duced to a minimum. Every step in the process of reclamation and utili- zation is carefully safeguarded and is under the absolute direction of a san itary force, each contractor being placed under heavy bonds,

Claim Made That Few Literary Men
Tell the Truth When Asked a
Leading Question.

Now and again men of letters and
other persons more or less in the pub
lie eye are requested to put them
selves to the question and to write
out a list of their favOrite characters
in fiction. Sometimes they are hidden
to stand and deliver the names OF
stalwart heroes, and sometimes they
are desired to- lisp lovingly list OF
loves herOineS.
And as these men of letters and 9TH
er persons more or less in the public
eve are human, after all, and therefore
hypocrites, they are likely to go on the
stand with no intention of telling fine
whole truth, says Scribner's Magazine.
Their secret delight may be in the
mysterious vengeanceS of Nick OF the
Woods; yet this is what they would
never dare confess, so they get out a
search warrant and they take up a
collection of their thoughts in order
to produce as their first choice Achil-
les or Ulysses, Gargantua or Marius
the Epicurean.
They are equally lacking in frank
ness where they volunteer to name
bevy of heroines. They may make a
bluff of indifference to beauty by put
ting in Jane Eyre; but no one of them
would be bold enough to acknowledge
his sneaking fondness for Becky Sharp,
that most fascinating villainess.
Thackeray tried to make us dislike
Mrs. Rawdon Crawley, thereby incur
ing the reproach of Taine-to the eff
feet that her creator did not love
Becky as Balzac loved Nine. Marneffe.
Yet, try as hard as he could, Thack-
cray failed to arouse in the average
sensual man any detestation for the
impersonator of Clytemnestra at the
Gaunt House theatricals. In fact, if
the average sensual man had his
choice, he would rather take in to din
ner Becky than the blameless Amelia,
beloved by the long-suffering Major
Dobbin.

Sacrifice.

The tall young physician from Louis
vile rode his sorrel mare into Corydon
next day and drew rein at Patrice
O'Bannon'S door.
Toinette, in the early morning sun
shine, was rapturous bird-song made
into woman, a flower downright, a
carol, an embodiment of earth's re-
ioicing. She welcomed Elliott with a
smile that made him wonder, with a
ready vanity, If he had not been mis-
taken in the rebuff she had once ad-
ministered. If he had pressed her
more hardily-did she really love Lar
renee? All, If he could only drive the
man out of Corydonl The black beast
of his jealous hatred rode or his back
and he went straight to his purpose
ST have sad news for you, Toinette."
The smile faded from her face and
she looked at him with q slow alarm
growing in her eyes.

His tone was unyielding, final; and
grieving in silent sympathy for his

him close up the meager affairs of the
little store and babe him good by. /.
To Ike remained no question of Da-
vids honor; but the poison of ElliOtt's
words had found an abiding hold in
the girls heart. Toinette had reached
her fathers house she knew not how.
She gained the harbor of her own
chamber, closed the door, and sank
upon her bed in a parOXysm of grief.
She had saved the frontier from the

taken from Cranmer; had from them
their blunt thanks, and found employ
ment in the ancient trading house of
the Spaniard, Vigo.

FAVOR ALFALFA FOR
HORSES OF ANY KIND
To Be Fed Successfully, Crop
Must Be Cut at Proper Time
Feed as Concentrate.
By C. w. MCAMPBELL, Kansas State
Agricultural College,

(By c. w. MCAMPBELL, Kansas State
Agricultural College.)
If alfalfa hay is properly cured, it
may be fed to any kind of horses.
This applies just as strongly to work
horses as to growing horses. In or
der, however, to be fed successfully,
alfalfa hay must be cut at the proper
time for horse feeding purposes, and
must be fed as a concentrate rather
than as roughage.
The trouble which arises from feed
ing alfalfa is due to the method OF
feeding, not with the alfalfa hay. 1t
has been said that the proper time to
begin cutting alfalfa hay is when the
field is about one-tenth In bloom. Cut
ting at such a time makes very good
hay for cattle, but such hay is too
"washy" for horses at hard work. TO
make hay suitable for horses at hard
work, the alfalfa must be allowed to
get rather mature before cutting; in
fact, the field should be in full bloom
before the mower is started. The hay
should then be properly cured and
stacked. Special care must be taken
to prevent spelling or molding.
After the hay has been cured the
next consideration is the amount to
be fed. The important cause of so
much trouble with alfalfa hay has
been overlooking. One pound of al
falfa hay contains 80 per cent more
digestible protein than one pound of
shelled corn-and is fairly rich in car
bohydrates and fat. A person would
not think of feeding a 1,2OO-pound
work horse bushel Of shelled corn in
a day, yet by giving the same horse all
the alfalfa hay he will eat, as large
or a larger amount of digestible pro-
tein will be fed. When large amounts
of alfalfa are fed, the horse receives

EXTRA FEEDING AND
CARE OF DAIRY cow
Ohio Expert Gives Conclusions
Reached After Experimenting
With Station Herd.

"Heavier feeding and extra care OF
COWS will pay in more than half the
dairy herds of Ohio" says G. G. Hay
den of the Ohio experiment station,
in it's Monthly Bulletin. His cOnclu-
sions are based on investigations with
COWS in the station dairy herd.
One COW given extra feed and care
produced 80 per cent more milk and
CT per cent more butterfat than In
previous years. This increase was pro-
duced at x cents less per 100 pounds
Of milk and % cents less per pound.
Of butterfat. Another COW gave per
cent more milk and so per cent more
butterfat than in former years. Her
increase cost 81 cents less per 100
pounds of milk and 10 cents less per
pound of butterfat.
The lower costs are due to the fact
that little extra time III feeding and
caring for the animals Is needed, and
no more stable room nor equipment Is
required for large yields than for small
ones.

to Scull's door. A cautious tattoo
summoned the man from his bed and

more deeply in Cranmer's throat with
every hurrying moment. Scull looked
at his white face and exulted secretly

asked coldly.

tice bulls are usually disposed of be-

Cost Divided.
The original cost of the five bulls
and their annual cost of maintenance
are usually divided among the men,
berS of the association according to
the number Of cows owned by each.
Records ON file in the dairy division
of tho department show that the men,
bers of associations now organized
are getting the services of these high
class purebred bulls at an average cost
considerably less than they formerly
paid for the services of scrub bulls or
registered bulls of doubtful merit.
Many farmers in Maryland, Michigan
and Minnesota, when questioned re-
garding the value of cooperative bull
associations, estimated that the use Of
sires belonging to the association in
creased the value of the offspring in
the first generation from 80 to 50 per
cent. The average of these estimates
was 65 per cent.

a cooperative bull association is q
farmers organization, the chief pcr-
pose of which is the joint ownership
and use of high-class, purebred bulls.
The association also may encourage
careful selection of cows, obtain better
prices for dairy products, introduce
better methods of buying and selling
cattle, work for improved sanitary con-
ditions, intelligentIy fight contagious
diseases of cattle, and in many other
ways assist the dairy business.
The owners of small herds of grade
cows often feel that they cannot afford
20 purchase valuable purebred bulls.
In consequence they buy scrubs, or
breed their cows to scrub bull or an
inferior purebrad bull on some near
by farm. One year a HolStein bull
may be used, the next year a Jersey,
and occasionally bull of no particu-
lar breeding. The work of the cooper
ative bull associations makes it pos
sible for any farmer to own share in
a purebred bull of high quality.
A bull association in its simplest
form may consist of three farmers who
together purchase three good regis
tered bulls of the same breed. Each
farmer keeps one Of these bulls for
two years, at the end of which time
the bulls are exchanged to prevent in
breeding. For the same reason q sec
ond exchange is made at the end of
four years. In this way, by paying
the purchase price of only one bull,

Rich Indian Chief Street Cleaner.

Officials of the Trenton street de-
partment today discovered that they
had among their employees a full
blooded Indian chief, Justin Wheel
Head. who is the owner of large res
ervation and a copper mine in Arizona.
His case is made especially extraor-
binary by reason of the fact that Head,
although wealthy, is satisfied with his
position as a street cleaner.
Head was born in Near, Cal. He
came east when a child to attend the
Indian Industrial school at Carlisle,
Pa. and upon completing his educa-
ton returned to the West. He bought
q claim near Gerome, Ariz., and
worked at copper smelling for a time.
About five years ago he came east,

1t is greatly to the advantage Of a
cooperative association that it be in
corpOrated under state laws. This IA
cilitates the transaction of business,
equitably distributes responsibility,
and gives the organization greater
prestige in the community.
Cooperative bull associations have
been common in Denmark for many
years, but the first associations of the
kind in the United States were organ
lied in 1908 by the Michigan agricul-
tural college. In this country their
growth has not been rapid, but, rs Il
rule, they have been highly success
full. If Skillfully managed. they may
be made a great factor in the upbuild-
ing of profitable dairying in this coun-

an excessive amount of highly nitro
genouS material.
Another effect of overlooking with,
alfalfa is q sort of clogging of the
whole system, resulting in impaired
nutrition, filling of the legs and hooks,
softness, excessive sweating, and inn
paired respiration. AS to the amount
to be fed, experience seems to indi'
cate that one and one-tifth pounds to
100 pounds of live weight is about
the maximum amount for work
horses.
Because of its high proportion OF di-
gestible protein, alfalfa balances UP
very we'll with corn. These two feeds
make the most economical ration the
Kansas farmer can feed.
