As his own brave heart today.

CORN VS.. PORK
BY AAMllN GARLAND
Of the Viollantea.

If the war goes on Gas it seems likely
to dog we may come to Doctor Kel-
logg's way of thinking and cut out
the raising Of pigs altogether. He es-
Inmates that it takes nearly ten. pounds
Of corn to make pound of pork, and
that when we get the pork we are
worse off than IL we had none. This,
I suspect, is true, for I. under orders
Of my doctor, have had no pork Of any
kind for three years.
Kellogg is an extreme vegetarian, of
course, and his statements must be
read in the light of that fact. And
yet he has logic on his side. Why
continue to feed the most vital food
of the human race to droves of ami
mails whose flesh is admitted to be IN
wholesome to many people and without
which all of us would be better of?
Another curious reflection comes In
when discussing the raising Of any
kind of flesh food. How much of the
corn or oats goes to supply energy for
exercise on the part Of the ANIMAL
Every time pig or steer takes a
trot or a gallop around the yard a
considerable amount of food Is used
up in a muscular action. This sounds
like a Joke, but it isn't, it is seri-
Gus observation on the part Of vegeta-
rians.
The Germans, with their usual eff
cheney, have taken these matters in
hand. They have decreased the num-
Der Of pigs not only to save food, but
to preserve q certain balance in the
ration. We may yet come to Kellogg's
point of view and begin the re-
duction Of pork raising to save corn,
retaining only enough pigs to act as
scavengers Of the kitchen refuse.
This much we can do, we can feed
our hogs with care. I wonder how
many Western farmers still feed their
pigs as they used to do by throwing
the corn into the pen? At that time,
with corn at Is cents a bushel, it didn't
matter how much was trampled into the
mire, but now the case is different. We
are careful to clean our own plates,
and yet am not sure that the farmers
are making their cattle feed 60 as far
as it might by careful rationing. AMI
mails used to be overfed on our farms.
Are they being scientifically fed now7
Corn and wheat can win this war,
and when the final choice is made pigs
must go, cotton and wool be reduced
in amount, and cattle be raised without
exercise and In the most economical
way.
As write these things I am sud-
denly taken anew with the wonder of
the changes that have come to this
America Of ours. That we of all ma
tons of the world should be seriously
considering how to conserve our food
supply, makes clearer than any other
measure the appalling blight which the
war, with its destructive agencies, has
thrown over the entire earth. 1t is in
credible but it is true. It is not only
true, but is becoming each day more
vital in our thinking. How shall we
feed the allies, ourselves and the waves
Of the North sea-?
We must double production, we must
save, and we must use with scientific
precision.
