DEDUCTIONS.
From the facts and observations 10 this memorandum
Fe sre enabled 10 draw the folio wing inierences:-
That the American salcd beef though richer In azote
in phosphorc acid than the Is per cent
kater, and although Offering quantity nei-ly d,ube Of
hose principles a. the price, neverthe
ess, alment far les succuent savory and appets
hg and for these cannot yield beneficial IA
lliment rs fresh meat
That the Anne fcsn bacon Ia Ear inferior to the bacon
our country and gives great loss to the
g. That our citizens have gwen up the use OF American
alted meats, not from groundess prejudice incon
fancy. but experiences of several months and
pr well founded reasons Of which We fully approve.
1t is useful to bring these facts under The notice Of
Die exporters in order that they may send American
heats in another FORM and in better condition, that
may be enabled to subsitu them for butchsrs

From the Journal du Havre, Nov IL
These conclusions very much to be regretted Tor
should alo~ them to get accredited without dispute
August 1884 and deprive alimentsry supplies Of the
ecious which may obtain both from North
md South America We do not wish to repudiate alto
ether the scientific authority Of the three honorable
Ehemsts who spponted to analyze the nutritive
Qualities OF American heats but We cannot help saying
hat when man Is an mplished chemist, he steps
title out Of the line Of his by turning cook
We confess cannot understand how 1t could have
cured to hose three gen emen to make pot az u Of
alt meat. In country In the world Ia this done
aed meats and fish require particular PREPARATION aud
particular mode of cooking well fresh meat aud
resh fish, In order that the culinary COMPARISONS Of
hey should have employed saited French meat at
he same time that they used American salted
contrary, and have thereoy obtainef results which
10 not prove thing. Sailed meats have never,
will ever anywhere DO considered equal to fresa
meat But when fresh meat at such hi price
i at present there Is uoquesonabie benefit In
stating saed with butchers meat for foDd
i would ESQ to Inconvenience similar to those which
experienced In long voyages from the fact OF the
coc in dry meat being too much concentrated The only
lfject Of the chemists should have been 10 examine II
eican ssed beef equal tc French beef under the
4ame conditions II Is true that they have done this In
The case Of bacon, and have learned with sstsnish
neBt hat the American bacon Il inferior to II
here Is anything bundantly proved It Is the supe
riority Of the Of raising pork In the Uaitsd
able time past has learned to value the decacy
81 the hams Of that country testify that they
not in any respect inferior to those Of France and Ger
many.
