GARBAGE VALUABLE AS FEED FOR HOGS And if Properly Handled the Meat is Comparable With Grain Fed. GAINS NOT GREAT AS FROM THE GRAIN But What is Gained Costs Farmer Far Less in Money. ! * J "If garbape in good condition is i fed with proper surroundings, there j is no reason why pork from this j source should not compare favorably j with that from grain-fed hogs." This is a conclusion reached in i j Circular No. MO, issued by the Unite* 1 States Department of Agriculture oo 1 'i? ? u ?..? neiiAoni ni' fSt,. n.'irliuo'o ! UU' MIUJi l l) vi \. i i I.... , | by Feeding to Hogs. The circular is a preliminary report of an invcstigw I lion conducted mainly in the neigh-! borhood of large cities in the Fast, j and it is hoped that the information,! "although incomplete, will familiarize j interested persons to the extent that ' they can see the possibilities in this! bus mess if it is intelligent^ manage 1 e<l." At no time in American history has 1 the elimination of waste been a mo?'C ' emphatic necessity than at present, the circular points out. If, entirely aside from effecting an economy in city management, the garbage produced in cities and towns can be used profitably in pork production, it .? 1 urged that every effort should be made to convert it to ihis purpose. Garbage Feeding Costs Less. Reports in the possession of the Department of Agriculture show tha' where table scraps form a part or i'i ' of the pig's diet, the gains costs considerably less than the gains made by their grain-fed competitors. On ths other hand, while many people recognize in hog feeding the possibility of a cheaper disposal of garbage than by' Vev.'ieH .g, in.ii. K.iii.;, dumping, etc..' there is no 1; liable and complet*. ^ourcc of i"f: rraation on the subject. The (lepurtinent began the study oi tin's problem to determine whether there is an opportunity for a conservation of city waste by feeding it -O hogs, thus giving hack to the city a .supply of food iu the fMir of pork, arid at the name time uf: jrbing the city a more economical and efficient method of garbage disposal. The reports of a special commission on the "Collection and Disposal of Municipal Waste," Worchcstcr, Mass. shows the cost per capita per annum for the collection and disposal ??f garbage in 17 citi< of the Unite'> States. Seven c! hose cities feel o?n vImj irn 4/* t 1 ^ r\ 10 Luru j;ai =j ? vni v v? * . dispose of i< by other methods, such as incineration, reduction, burial, etc. The average cost per capita per annum for those feeding garbage is about $0,110. and the average cost toy the other 10, $0..T!7, a saving of $0,221 per capita per annum. 1 these av'Tuges are confirmed by reports from a large number of citiesit would seem that hogs as gar'oagconverters could directly save t h, people in the cities of the I'nilef States enormou. sums of money annually, are! add $ not ince r- 'd nahh amount to the meat supply of th Nation.

The circular says that infoi nuition obtained thus far indicat that while cooking of garbage is n< essential in summer 11 it is clean ai fed promptly, the practice is advi; able in winter, when the y,-irbac;e coi tains a higher precentage of groa; than can be removed in the cookii process. It is also pointed out th while it may be possible under tl most careful and sanitary mcasur to feed raw garbage with freedo from disease and parasites, as a pr cautionary measure sterilization cooking is advisable.

A', o INVENTOR TELLS OF MACHINE GUN . Washington.?The storv of the in? vention and development of the fam* ious Lewis machine gun and the disappointing efforts of the inventor to persuade the United States govern* j ment to accept it without cost was told in dramatic fashion today by tho | inventor himself, Col. Isaac N. Lew's, U. S. N., retired, testifying in the senate military committee's investigation of the army. With an occasional show of heat Colonel Lewis related his controversy with General Crozier, chief of ordnance, whom he severely assailed, denied that he first offered his invention to the British government, detailed repeated tenders of his patents to the government with his profits aggro* gating millions of dollars, and told of the success with which his weapon has been used by the allies. At times Colonel Lewis was so severe in his strictures on General Crozier and the war department that committeemen stopped him, saying lie u'ju "1 on lnnim<*inii? ?mil rlnsiill oi*v" and was Idling" his "feeling's run away." Difference of Opinion . Supporting" Colonel Lewis' testimony. President A. K. Boric of the Savage Arms Company, which has the exclusive American license right to make the Lewis gun, also told of the refusal of the war department vo adopt the Lewis gun. Both he and Colonel Lewis predicted that sufficient numbers of the new Browning* gun, adopted by the war department, would not be available for the American forces. Other manufacturers have testified that the production would be sufficient. At the conclusion of Mr. Dorics' testimony the committee adjourned over Ch ristmas. Colonel Lewis told the committee that as early as 1911 he offered to Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, then chiel of staff, to turn over his invention fo 4 ? ... ~..4. 4\... I'l i L ^U\ CI II Illiril t.

Again in 1911 and 1912, when he left the actvie,service because of resentment over his treatment, Colonel Lewis said, he renewed the offer, only to have it rejected. Another Offer Made. His last tender was made in a let tor sent to Secretary Baker 11 davfi ago. He also agreed to turn ov^r large royalties on United States eiders of the invention, hut had not hoard from that tender. Colonel Lewis said his offers to the government were from patriotic motives. His ex. pcriencc with General C'rozier, he declared, almost stifled that patriotism. He exhibited a check for SI 1,000, pari of $17,000, ho said he had sent to the government in return of royalties on orders. The check was sent to Secretin v Baker last Uehruarv and he said ; General Crozior opposed its acceptance. It finally was accepted but receipt was not acknowledged until two I weeks ago. After his futile fight to get his patents accepted or his weapon adopted by his own government, Colonel Lewis said lie turnc 1 to Europe where he said, the gun gained instant success. Thousands are being used h\ , England and France, he declared. For an army of 2,000,000 vm n Col} onel Levis said there should be i00,~ ' , 000 machine gir s, .70 for ea-h 1,0Cn men.

He asserted th the wai department's order adoptin] th*1 modified Ian field rfile wa-> "a c-, les.-ad blunder" because time so essen i liiil in producing rifles then badl ^ : needed by the nation's forces was lo.1in modifying the Enfield. ' For Aerial Fight in ^ | Although the war department ha I never given his invention a fair tes ! Colonel Lewis said, it has at last bee 1 ( rdered for aerial fighting. In the o '' ficial tests last May when the Browi ^ ing was adopted, Colonel Lewis sai he did not have time to prepare h lie : , . gun adequately for use with Amor can ammunition.

London.?Aviation activities by the British army air service are reported in an official statement as follows: "Good work was done in the air on Monday by Ausrtalian pilots. Two of thorn who were attacked by many hostile scouts when employed on artillery work succeeded in bringing down one of the enemy's machines in ur lines and dispersed the remainder. "On Tuesday a thick haze again limited flying to the northern part of the front where a great deal of artib hey photographic work was done. During the day over InO bombs were dropped on the enemy's railway stations, sidings and trenches and man\ rounds were fired from the air into trenches and billets, "1'ighting in the air on this part of the front was intense all day and resulted greatly in our favor.

LLD, CONWAY, 8. ft We have arranged for a eeriee of six interesting articles, "War Talks, by Uncle Dan," written by Mr. Howard H. Gross, president of the Univer* sai Military Trainit j League, of which this is the first. They tell In a graphic way why military training is of value, both to the nation and to the individual, and our readers will find them of unusual interest. II WAR TALKS I By UNCLE DAN Number One j America Must Fight Hard or Germany May Win?Necessity for Military Training. "Now, Billie," said his mother, "your Uncle Dan is coming: tomorrow to spend a week with us on the farm, and if you want to know about the war, hero's your opportunity. Uncle Dan is probably one of the best-informed men in the country." Bllile clapped his hands and grave such a whoop that he wakened the baby, but what could you expect of a fifteen-year-old boy who is ! a living interrogation point and wants 1 to know about war? Uncle Dan arrived in due time and Billie watched for an opportunity. It caiue that evening after dinner when Uncle Dan hud lighted a cigar and 1 taken a seat on the porch. "I'm mighty glad you came, Uncle Dan. I want to talk to you about the war. We have just put military trainI ing in our township high school, but we hud a hard time to do it. The Joneses and the (ireggs objected. They said the war wouldn't come over here. i 1 r ? .1 . ifni t * i. M _ uruuuina .joui>n sniu : 1 ni'.v ami mi use to worrit, it will soon blow over.' Well, wo put the training in just the same. You ortcr heard Judge Brownell. the president of the school hoard, do the slackers irp. He said unless we take off our coats and go to it, Germany may yet win, and if she does, she will take over the great British fleet as a war trophy and compel us to do what ever she wants to; that she could make us pay all the cost of the war; the kaiser could tax us as he pleased and that we couldn't help ourselves. lie could make every one pay over a pari of what he earns; that he could make the farmers pay rent for their own farms, etc. Now, Uncle, what do you think of that?" "'Well, my hoy." said Uncle Dan. "all that Judge Brownell says might easily come true and may unless we go j quickly to the aid of the allies with i large numbers of men and help them ! break the German line. Unless we can , beat the submarines, they may pre! vent us from getting enough food to I tin allies to keep them going. In that case Germany would win. As mat tenstand today, our greatest need i.< trained men. If we had had several millions of men with military training I in our industries and on our fanm when the war came, who eouk 1 have been called at once for service, do not believe the kaiser would hav< j forced the war upon us. As it was, in had no respect for us. and now we art in it and must go through with it. Bu never again musi we be caught s< wholly unprepared. "There is only one safe way," salt Uncle Dan. "and that is to adopt per manently universal military training apply it to every young man who i > physically lit, say ip his nineteenth o ) twentieth year. The training can h ! } carried forward In the United State I training camps that are now being e* tabllshed for training men called it "| the selective draft.

If It is as had as tlV:i. is high time for us to wake up and c soau tiling uhoilt it." "Exactly." replied T'ncle Dan. 14 is hotter to wake up now than to 1 i rudely awakened later We may : .si well nnderstand, sister, that this is 01 war and we must win it or God im ; ~ CHICKE1 i- is often \ t o Tliciiriicitiiousc *; tslSicJincslslwl ly a i j America.
