RAGS AND BONES
Rags and bones are among the prized collections the borough councils are accumulating to save waste. Bags rank with waste paper, or above it. Bones are valuable because they are oneeighth fat, one-eighth glue, and the remaining three-quarters makes fertilisers for crops or feeding meal for cattle. Banana skins also make first-rate fertilisers.—‘ Children's Newspaper,’ London.
