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

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,

Nation. While these averages cm

Cocking of (ir.rbage Discussed.
Approximately lh to '_() pound:
garbage are required a <l;iy '"or a fat
toning hog of 12.~> t<> 200 ))i>imds, de
pending upon the ciiaracter of th
garbage. It has been estimated tha
' 4 tons of garbage are required t
grow a pig to 200 pounds, the feedin
period extending from 10 to !
months. 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.
Garbage-fed hogs are found to
exceptionally free from lice and i

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. VI L 111 I ti 1 VV UWU I u Y*
orcd acceptance, lie said, hut General
C'rozier prevented it. 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. To keep up th.e supply To.OOt

the Brithi.>h a r. y alone. lie said, ov n
.">00,000 men are under instruction con
Imur.lly with the Lewis gun.
Colonel Levi- said that >p. his opin
ion the German Mauser rifle rank
; first, the American Springfield sec.
.. ond, the French rifle th'rd, and tin
British fourth, but that for all arourv
present war purposes the British riff
next to the Cierman. He asserted th

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.
As further evidence of his efforts
t r
testinal parasites, and when fed up'
or sterilized or cooked garbage th<
n_ | have been found to be as fi ee fro
I disease as other hogs bought on tl
ad open market.

give his own government the benefit
of the inventive genius, Colonel Lewis
said that last year when the Browning
gun was being developed, he offered
to return to this country, develop
a light model machine gun at his
own expense and present it to this
government.
Colonel Lewis repeatedly stated to
the committee that General Crozier's
attitude toward him and his invention
was the result of deep prejudice and
personal animosity. He declared that

sidings and trenches and man\
rounds were fired from the air into
trenches and billets,
"1'ighting in the air on this part of

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

out and said: "Really, Rroiher Dai
are you serious as to the dangers <
. our country? 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

i rudely awakened later We may :
