75. Camp Pig-farms. In October, 1916, a pig-farm, conducted with full regard to sanitary principles, was established near Trentham Camp for the purpose of utilizing to the best advantage all waste food material from the camp. This has proved a distinct success financially. In April, 1918, a second pig-farm was established, at Tauherenikau, in order that the waste food material from the Featherston and Tauherenikau Camps could be similarly utilized. Both farms are under the control of Captain Tilley, Remount Officer, and the very successful results so far attained are largely due to his energy and capability.
