War Department Has Saved Upwards | of $2,000,000 on Waste Materials of All Kinds. Washington.—Waste materi: ing conserved by the war progmellieg and money is being made out of it, At every National army and Na- tional Guard camp special officers have been detailed to have an eye to the penny to be Saved through careful conservation of waste mate- rials. Refuse from the mess halls are being placed in Separate receptacles, fertilizer from the stables is : sold to farmers living in the territory of the camps to save freight rates, oe ari likewise is to be disposed of to the highest bi¢ men raising hogs, ee pee a Lieut. Col. J. Austin Ellison has been placed in charge of the division of conservation. He has the distinction of having called the attention of the war department to the vast saving that would result if care were exer- ena disposal of refuse. Thus far t e department has saved upwards $2,000,000 on waste rede Ks The garbage from the mess of from 10 to 15 soldiers, it is estimated, will feed one hog a day. Hogs will gain on an average of one pound a day on this ration for the first 150 days, govern- ment experts have determined. The refuse from each cantonment will be sufficient to feed 4,000 hogs a day. This means an increase of 1,460,000 pounds of pork for the country each year. Colonel Ellison has injected into camp life a certain class distinction in the disposal of garbage. At the camps the care of the garbage is a | regular ceremonial. Waste material is divided into classes, and a special receptacle is provided for each class, There is a can for bones, one for rope and twine, another for rags, one for paper, one for fats and tallow, one for bottles, one for tin cans, another for sweeping and pieces of tobacco, and still another for garbage. Practically all of the refusal is sold. Cans, bottles, bones, fats, paper and | ags have a ready market, and the garbage proper is carted away for a hog’s banquet. The worthless refuse is burned in order to adhere to the strict sanitary regulations of the camps. I nittnitriniiniiniiniiiid titi NO AGE LIMIT FOR WOMEN IN WAR WORK There is no age limit for the service of women in war work. This fact has been demonstrat- ed to the woman’s committee of the counci] of national defense. Of the thousands of letters that have come in reeently from all parts of the country, begging for some work which will be of real worth to the government, one was from an elderly lady ninety-six years of age, and one from a little girl nine years old. The old lady writes that she would like to have some 3} definite war work to do, since her son is too old to be a sol- dier. The little girl wants to go to France as a messenger in the Red Cross _ service. France, at the beginning of the war, the age limit for govern- mental service was placed at forty years. All the women in France are now working for their country. ALBANIAN PRINCE AT WORK William zu Wied Asks Aid of German Federal Powers to Keep Coun- try Independent. Rotterdam, Netherlands. — Prince William zu Wied, the former prince of |’ Albania, has by no means given up hopes of regaining the realm which he ruled over for so short and trou- bled a period immediately prior to the great European conflagration. His latest step has been to send a memo- rial to the German federal princes, wherein he deals at length with the development of Albanian affairs and protests against the protectorate of Al- bania proclaimed by Italy. He argues that an independent Albania offers the securest basis for a lasting peace in the Balkans, and that it is therefore in the interests of Germany and Aus- tria. Further, Prince William asserts his own rights to the throne of Al- bania. ANIMALS KILL 24,350 CATTLE Preying of Wild Beasts in West Causes Appeal to Secretary of Agriculture. Albuquerque, N. M.—Members of the New Mexico Cattle and Horse Growers’ association have appealed to the secretary of agriculture for imme- diate expenditure of $100,000 of fed- eral funds in the state, in an effort to combat the ravages upon stock by predatory animals. Estimated based upon the tax rolls place the number of head of live stock destroyed by mountain lions, wolves and coyotes as follows, during the last year: Cattle, 24,350, valued at $1,- $74,000; sheep, 165,000, $1,320,000 ; horses, 850, $21,250. to be | Interior F inishes for « Every Room Walls, Woodwork, Floors and Furniture—finished with Flat-Tone, Old Dutch Enamel, Mar-Not Varnish and Floorlac, present a beauty and durability of finish which is so desirable in every home.

SS S= Sa SS S5555 fa] SWINE RELISH FEED VARIETY Widespread Notion That Corn Is Best Feed Is Erroneous—Thrive Well on Pasture. Hitherto, when corn has been cheap and abundant, it has been used so ex- tensively for feeding to hogs that there is a widespread notion that it is the best feed, Investigations, however, have shown that it has its disadvan- tages as well as its advantages. When it is the exclusive grain feed, breeding stock are not as prolific as on a varied ration and for fattening purposes an exclusive corn diet is not generally profitable. The hog is naturally a heavy and promiscuous eater. He thrives best where pastures are plen- tiful and grain crops, nuts, or roots are most abundant. He must have water at all times, and shelter in win- ter. If these conditions are met, hog raising can be made profitable outside of the corn belt as well as in it. IMPROVEMENT OF SOIL PAYS Application of Lime, Manure and Acid Phosphate Makes Big Difference in Experiment. Lime, manure and acid phosphate have made a phenomenal difference in the growth of corn, wheat and clover that is now growing on the Ohio ex- periment station farm situated in Meigs county. The best results have been obtained where lime and phos- phated manure have been applied to the corn crop and acid phosphate to the wheat. Two tons of ground lime- stone and 700 pounds of acid phos- phate were used per acre during the three years’ rotation of corn, wheat and clover, This treatment has caused the investment of considerable capital but the cost has been returned with a big rate of interest. WHITE SWEET CLOVER VALUE Considered Better Than Yellow Variety for Hay and Pasture—Seed Resembles Alfalfa. Two kinds of sweet clover are com- monly grown; the white and the yel- low. The white is considered to have the greatest value, both for hay and pasture. It grows larger than the yel- low and is more leafy. The seed of the white sweet clover is of a bright olive green color and about the same size as alfalfa seed. The seed of the yellow sweet clover is much the same size, shape and color except that under MADEGUN EXPERT Americans in France Know Every. Part of Weapons Except Seoret of “75.” TRAINING 1S MOST THOROUGH No Stint of Ammunition for Practice Work—Target Shooting in the Morning, Machine-Shop tn- struction in the Afternoon, Is the Program, An American Artillery Camp in France.—Firing stops at eleven o'clock every morning. By that time every gun captain has finished his allotment of shells for the day. It does happen sometimes that a gun breaks down, and in that case its shells are distrib- uted among its neighbors. There is no record of a battery commander who has been kept on a bound boy allow- ance of ammunition by his own gov- ernment failing to take advantage of the prodigal son privileges which war has given him. He is right, of course, The more shells he shoots the sooner his battery will be fit for action, writes Herbert Corey in the Chicago News, The better part of an hour is used in getting into camp for luncheon, The meal itself is over at one o’clock, Then business starts again. The afternoon program never includes firing, but deals with the fundamentals of learning how to fire. The men take the guns apart and put them together again. They know just what part each bit of metal plays, so that when it ceases to func” tion the gunners will know what is wrong. The officers are at work at other things. Some are taking a course of map making, some are at wireless telegraphy and others are scattered about the other scheols, “Let us have a look at the three- inch school,” said the colonel, A machine shop had been turned over to the use of the specialists in the French “soixante-quinze” field. piece. The French officer who acted as instructor here is one of the finest artillerists of the French army, Secret of Efficiency. One part only of the seventy-five is not taken down—the recoil mechanism, in which lies the secret of the wonder- ful efficiency of the piece, Before the war it was a secret in reality. Nowadays, of course, the secret is a secret no longer. The Germans have captured hundreds of seventy-fives, and know it inside and out, But the recoil mechanism is so delicately adjusted that no attempt is ever made to repair it in the field. If it breaks down, it is taken off the gun and sent to the nearest factory for readjustment. In the next shop, where the 6-Inch guns are being elucidated to the new-born soldiers, everything is shown. It should be thoroughly understood at home that the artillery, along with every other branch of the army here, is making wonderful progress toward fitness, but it must also be understood that these men are not to be hyrried into the trenches for permanent occu- pancy. They are physically fit as prize fighters, but they are still short of the full knowledge required of them, In normal times, the artillery has been the corps d’elite of the American army, but today it is suffering from the same lack of preparation which char- acterizes every other branch of the service—a lack of preparation which must not be charged against the army heads. In the artillery units here— Each regiment is short thirty officers of its quota, Not more than 5 per cent of the men have served more than one enlist- ment, Not more than 20 per cent of the men have served as much as one year, The vast majority of the men were absolutely new to the army. A com- parative few have been in service as much as six months. Superior as a Body. On the credit side of the account it may be stated that the men are of an extraordinarily fine type. As a body they are superior in the raw to any European organization I have seen, and I have seen them all except the Roumanians, But the artillery organizations are suffering from the handicap of a lack of previous experience in bulk, The artillerist must be a highly skilled spe- clalist. The greater part of the offi- cers at this camp are either new to the army or new to the service with the guns. The work of development is further checked by the shortage of officers previously referred to—a short- age which is added to by the new de- mands made by modern war, More officers must be detached as observers than had previously been the case. The training of these offi- cers necessarily removes them from immediate contact with their units, where they are sadly needed. They are being taught aerial observation. in balloon and airplane at a time when under the previous scheme of organi- zation they should be serving with their men. This is not sounding a note of pessimism. The progress made is mag+ nificent. It is obvious that a more rap- id progress would be made if the regi- mental quota of officers were filled.
