siderably less than the gains made
by their granted competitors. On
the other hand, while many people
recognize in hog feeding the possibil-
ity of a cheaper disposal Of garbage
than by rendering, inclnerating,
dumping, etc., there is no reliable
and complete source of information
on the subject. The department be-
gan the study of this problem to de-
termine whether there is an oppor-
tunity for a conversion of city waste
by feeding it to hogs, thus giving
back to the city a supply of food in
the form of pork, and at the same
time affording the city more eco
nomical and efficient method of gar
bage disposal.
The report of a special commission
on the Collection and Disposal Of
Municipal Waste" Worcester, Mass,
shows the cost per capita per annum
for the collection and disposal of
garbage in II cities Of the United
States. Seven of these cities feed
their garbage to hogs; the other 10
dispose of it by other methods, such
as incineration. reduction, burial,
etc. The average cost per capita per
annum for those feeding garbage is
about s0.116, and the average cost
for the other 10, $0.337, a saving of
$0.221 per capita per annumr If
these averages are confirmed by re-
ports from large number Of cities,
it would seem that hogs as garbage
converters could directly save the
people in the cities Of the United
States enormous sums of money an
nually, and add a not inconsiderable
amount to the meat supply of the
nation. While these averages can
not be taken as absolute for the
whole country they are a strong in
dication of the possibilities.
Cooking Of Garbage Discussed.
Approximately Is to 20 pounds of
garbage are required day for a fat
tening hog of 1876 to 200 pounds, de-
pending upon the character of the
garbage. 1t has been estimated that
four tons of garbage are required to
grow pig 10 200 pounds, the feed
ing period extending from 10 to IL
months. The circular says that in
formation Obt&ined thus far indicates
that while cooking Of garbage is not
essential in summer If it is clean and
fed promptly. the practice is advis-
able in winter. when the garbage
contains higher percentage of
grease that can be removed in the
cooking process. 1t is also pointed
out that while it may be possible
under the most careful and sanitary
measures to foed raw garbage with
freedom from disease and parasites,
az precautionary measure steriliza-
tion or cooking is advisable
Garbage-fed hogs are found to be
exceptionally free from lice and in
iestinal parasites, and when fed upon
sterilized or cooked garbage they
have been found to be as free from
disease as other hogs bought on the
open market
Among subjects discussed in the
circular is the proper equipment for
collection and feeding of garbage.

ialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture make sugges
tions as to the best ways of feeding
the beans. They are especially good
feed for cattle and hogs, the special
lists say, but are not as a rule rel.
ished by horses and mules Use OF
the beans in rations for sheep can be
followed on lines similar to those
that have been found satisfactory in
cattle feeding.
Grazing Most Practicable.
Grazing is probably the most prac-
ticable way for the farmer to feed
velvet beans. However when corn
and-bean fields are to be grazed, all
mature beans should first be picked
to save for seed or to use for feed
during the latter part of winter.
Grazing usually begins about the
time of the first frcst and continues
throughout the winter. When the
fields are grazed by cattle, hogs
should follow them to pick up the
beans that the cattle trample down.
Both vines and beans will remain in
edible condition throughout the win
ter; in fact, weathering makes the
beans more palatable by softening
the pods. Dairymen find that graz
ing gives the greatest stimulus to
milk production in the fall, while
beef growers value them more highly
for winter grazing.
High in Digestible Protein.
Velvet beans either as green for
age or as hay are very high in di-
gestible protein, therefore great care
should be exercised in feeding them
to livestock, especially when starting
stock on feed for the first time. Even
after the stock becomes accustomed
to the beans they should be kept in
the field only q short time each day
until a portion of the crop is con-
sumed, as excessive consumption is
a waste of concentrated feed. Such
overfeeding will in addition have a
laxative effect similar to the effect
that cottonseed meal has when over
fed. This danger is somewhat offset,
however, because of the fact that
stock will hesitate to eat the beans
for the first few days.
In grazing off corn and velvet bean
fields cattle have gained as high as
200 pounds in 80 days, and while
they were not finished at the end of
this time, they nevertheless made
good beef. Hogs similarly fed pro-
duce almost as firm pork as if fed
corn in addition. 1t is we'll, howev-
er, to fed some corn If it is desired
to produce pork of the best quality.
Results of experiments which have
shown the high feeding value of vel
vet beans are described by the spec
ialists
Steer-Feeding Tests.

Steer-Feeding Tests.


In one feeding test carried on at
the Florida station velvet beans in
the pod were fed in comparison with
other feeds to 16 700-pound steers,
divided into four lots of four each,
for S4 days. Lot received an aver
age daily ration per 1000 pounds Of
live weight of pounds of corn, 12
pounds of velvet beans in the pod
and 10 pounds of cotton-seed hulls:
lot 2, 1Oh pounds of corn, 3.S
pounds of cottonseed meal and 1874
pounds of craib-grass hay; lot 8, 6
pounds of corn, pounds of cotton
seed meal, IA pounds of cottonseed
hulls and 20 pounds of sorghum
silage; lot A, 61s pounds of cotton
seed meal and 25 pounds of cotton
seed hulls. The lot to which velvet
beans were fed made the high aver
age gain of 2.9 pounds daily per
1000 pounds live weight for "a days.
Satisfactory gains were made by the
other lots, but those of the steers
fed velvet beans were the largest
and, based Cn prices of feed for Octo-
ber, 1917, cheapest. The test also
showed a saving of $2.4S per 100
pounds of gain by feeding the beans
without grinding. 1t is believed that
gains are no greater when the beans
are fed as meal rather than whole.
However, it is often advisable to soak
the whole beans in water few hours
SO as to soften the pods before feed
ing. The only objection to this prac-
tice is that If all the beans given at
a feeding are not eaten by the cattle
they are likely to sour, after which
the cattle may refuse to eat them.
At the Alabama station a test was
conducted to determine the relative
feeding value of cottonseed meal and
velvet beans in the pod rs the con-
centrated part of ration for fatten-
ing steers. In this experiment two
lots of 20 steers each were used, one
lot getting cottonseed meal and corn
silage and the other velvet beans in
the pod and corn silage The re-
suits showed that ! pound of cotton
seed meal took the place of 21a
pounds of velvet beans, but the vel
vet-bean lot required only two-thirds
as much silage as the cottonseed
meal lot The cost of 100 pounds
Of gain was 1884 cheaper when vel
vet beans in the pod were fed, with
cottonseed meal costing SAC a ton,
unhulled velvet beans $40 ton and
corn silage Sc ton. The gains made
by the steers in each lot we're salts

2,7OO, 900 of NesO Draft to Be
Called, Says Gen. March.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1s.-An army OF
$500, 900 men by next July, after all de-
auctions have been made for casualties
and reflections. is what the enlarged
American military programme calls for.

Appropriations Committee to-day in dis
GUESSING the new seven billion dollar
army estimates.
There are now about 100000 men
under arms, Gen. March said, and the

registrants to the colors between now
and July.
Gen. Crowder estimated that half OF
