What to Eat.


The author gives the following
classification of food:
First. Carbonates; that class
which supplies the lungs with fuel
and thus furnishes heat to the
system, and supplies fat or adj
pose substances.
Second. Nitrates; that class
which supplies the waste of mus
cles. .
Third. Phosphates; that class
WHICH supplies the bones, the brain,
and the nerves, and gives vital
power both muscular and mental.
We subjoin a portion of one of
the many valuable and instructive
tables in the volume, exhibiting
an analysis of different kinds of
food in their natural state:

The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1868-07-18

The author speaks as follows of
the daily amount of food neeessa-
ry for men:
Animals have been fed on pure
starch, or sugar, or fat alone,
and they gradually pined away
and died; and the nitrates in all
the fine -four bread which the ami
NAL can eat, will not sustain life
beyond fifty days; but others fed
on unbolted -four bread would
continue to thrive for an indefinite
period. It is immaterial whether
the general quantity of food be
reduced too low, or whether either
of the muscle-making or heat-pro-
ducing priciples be withdrawn
while the other is fully supplied.
In either case the effect will be
the same. The animal will be-
come weak, dwindle away and die
sooner or later, according to the
deficiency; and if food is eaten
which is deficient in either princi-
pie, the appetite will demand it in
quantity till the deficient element
is supplied. All the food, beyond
the amount necessary to supply
the principle that is not deficient,
is not only wasted, but burdens
the system with efforts to dispose
Of it. Food, therefore, containing
the right proportion of heaters and
muscle-makers is not only best,
but most economical. In Boston,
and probablyin all American cities
a large part OF the expenses of
the table are for butter, superfine
flour and sugar, neither of which
contains enough of the muscle or
brain-feeding element to sustain
life for fifty days, as has been
proved by experiment with -four,
while butter and sugar would not
sustain life a single month with
out other food. AS far as we have
articles of food deficient in car
Donates, we can use, without loss,
butter or. sugar to supply the de-
ficiency; but most of our national
food, both animal and vegetable,
contains a due proportion, and if
with them we use butter and su-
gar, they cannot be appropriated
by the system, and are thereforN

gether, all grain and milk, contain
all the carbonates that are needed,
or can be used to furnish heat in
moderate weather. All the butter
or sugar, therefore, that is added
to either articles of food, as they
are used, in making cakes, Gus
tards, pies, &c., are not lost, but
by adding too much fuel increase
the tendency to inflammations,
embarrass the stomach, and in
duce dyspepsia, congestions, OBJ
structiOns, &c.
With beefsteak, or any other
lean meats, or fish, or potatoes, or
any green vegetables. or fried
beans, or peas, some oily sub
stance seems to be needed, as all
these articles are deficient in car
bon, and in common use we have
the choice between lard, sweet oil;
or butter, or perhaps fat pork, all
of which are precisely alike in
chemical construction, and that
one is most wholesome which is
best relished.
Sugar is needed with the acid
fruits and berries, and especially
with apples, which. in New Eng
land are the most valuable of all
fruits either with or without cook
ing, and which, with sugar, fur
nish excellent food, especially in
winter and spring, when other
fruit cannot be had.
But to find a good use for super
fine flour, out of which has been
taken nine-tenths of its food for
muscle or brains, is exceedingly
difficult, indeed, impossible in
health; and it can only be useful
in disease when the irratability of
the stomach or bowels forbids the
use of their natural stimulant, just
as inflammation of the eye makes
it necessary to exclude the light.
The Doctors recipe for making
natural bread is as follows:-
sBread, light, sweet, delicious, and
eminently wholesome, may be
made by mixing good unbolted
wheat meal with cold water, or
milk if preferred, making a paste
of proper consistence, which can
only be determined byexperiment,
pouring or dropping it quickly
into a heated pan, and placing it
quickly in hot oven, and baking
it as soon as possible without
burning. The heat of the oven
and pan suddenly coagulates the
gluten of the outside, which re-
tains the steam formed within,
and each particle of water being
interspersed with a particle of
flour, and expanded into steam,
separates the particles into cells,
and being retained by the gluten
which is abundant in this natural
flour, till it is cooked, the mass
remains porous and digestible,
and containing no carbonic acid
gas, is wholesome when eaten i'm
mediately, and, of course, equally
so on becoming cold.'-[Dr. Bel
lows's Philosophy of Eating.

~ Articles from the South
Western have been copied in 9th
er quarters, with complimentary
notices, as counseling the aban-
fdonment of cotton culture by the
Southern planters generally. Now,
while we are extremely thankful
for all compliments conveyed,
whether they come left-handed or
right-handed, or from any quarter
whatsoever, still we feel con-
strained to explain thatit hasnever
been our purpose to incalculate
upon our people in any manner
the utter abandonment of cotton
culture. 1t is only the variety of
our products that we have felt
compelled to press upon the at
tention of our farmers. For the
cultivation of cotton negro labor
is essentially necessary, and in
Gods maine let all that labor be
applied. But our climate will
generously produce other valua-
bic products besides cotton, and
we have wished to instill into the
minds of our farmers, the ineep-
ton of other enterprises which
will gradually attract from the
choicest regions of Europe, aux
iliary labor, which will eventually
add to our resources, and develop
the valuable products of our soil.
Do not abandon cotton, but grad
ually introduce such varied cul-
ture, as would, in the event of dis
aster, render you independent of
Old and New England's spindles.
This is the sum and substance of
our teachings. This is our advice
to our farmers, so far as we pre-
tend to advise. When there is a
failure in the cotton crop of this.
country all classes suffer; general
depression reigns through every
department; merchants, millers,
milliners, ministers, teachers, edi-
tors, tradesmen and travellers
simultaneously succumb. All go
pell- nell, hurry -scurry into the
depths of poverty together, and
there they stay until some benign
angel in the shape Of q prosper
GUS cotton season helps them all
out together, and then they begin
life with renewed hopes. Now
this is not the case in the North
western States, nor indeed in
scarcely any other region under
the sun. Ii the wheat crops fails
in the North, she has a hundred
things to fall back upon. There are
hop gardens, and corn crops, and
vintage returns, and the manufac-
lures of whisky, and calicoes, and
buttons, and domestics, nails crock
cry, and SO forth. It is this kind
of cat-life that we have thought
was the last resource left to the
whilome kings of cotton. Do not
abandon cotton but gradually
introduce such other articles, re-
quiring sparing outlay of time
and attention as may in the end
inure to your profit and advan-
tage, whenever the exigency of
the times shall seem to call upon
your day share. We shall from
time to time, let fall such, hints
as we think may prove valuable
in assisting our farmers in render
ing themselves independent of
the one-idea culture, which has
hitherto prevailed i'll this country.
Meantime, we recommend to every
farmer to subscribe for a good
agricultural paper South Wes-
tern.
