Garbage Utilization.

Hogs can be made to utilize much
eatable material which would other
wise be wasted, according to a state
ment issued by the Connecticut Agri-
cultural college. The report calls at
tention to the saving accomplished in
Minneapolis, where between $4,000
and 100000 is saved annually by using
swine to consume the garbage Of the
city instead of burning it. Whereas
Minneapolis formerly operated it's
garbage disposal at a loss, the city
now receives s1.26 per ton for its gar
bage as hog feed.

ton for the State of 412, 500 bushels,
while oats are given at 22k bushels
per acre, which would yield a total
production of 6,975,000 bushels.
Burley tobacco acreage is given at

send them, or where you send them
Just send them.
1t you have finished your can
ming and jelly making, plan dessert
using fruit with pits. Fresh peaches
and plums are always delicious, as
are pies and buildings made OF those
fruits. After the peach season is
over, don't forget that olive pits
and nut shells are in demand.
