A novel explanation was given by a cook at the recent military camp for excusing apparently spoiled meat. He said that the insides of the turnips and onions added to the stew broke up into small pieces and assumed the form of maggots. The appearance of the particles of vegetable (or animal) was enough to put most of the men off their meal and feeling ran high. Several territorials assert that they took their bayonets into breakfast to stab the offenders, but found that the job was beyond them. They thought of calling in the machin#-gunnres and signallers to do the job properly.
