Abstinence of CameIs.

The watering of camels is of great
Importance, and is not generally under
stood. Surgeon @. Steel states +" that
the store of water the animal is sup
posed to be capable of carrying il much
exaggerated. L am quite of the
opinion, for could not help observing
in the recent Afghan campaign how
little attention was paid to the watering
of camels, because the idea entertained
was that camels could go forever with
out drinking. Such false impression
was fatal to the poor animals. Camels
Of the Arabian species can take in five
or six gallons of water, which is suffi-
cient for their use for about six days.
The Bactrian species can only take in
about half that quantity. To insure
the supply, camel men travelling with
their own camels pour water down the
camels' throats, which tho camels un-
derstand by instinct to be necessary
precaution, and take in the water will
ingly. 1t is misleading to say that q
camel can go without water longer than
any other animal, for he requires drink
daily, like other beasts, il a supply has
not been previously administered.
Camels have, moreover, great dislike
to drinking cold running wator in cold
weather, and should be watered from
holes or casks containing still water

Eggs as Food.

Eggs are an article of cheap and nu-
vi ;tious food which We do not find on
farmers tables in the quantity economy
demands. They are very convenient to
take to market, and this is the disposi-
ton which too many farmers make OF
them. They probably do not compre-
hend how valuable eggs arc as food;
that, like milk, an egg is complete
food in itself, containing everything
necessary for the development of per-
feet animal, as is manifest from the fact
that chick is formed from it. 1t seems
mystery how muscles, bones, feathers
and everything that chick requires for
its perfect development are made from
the yolk and white of an egg; but such
is the fact, and it shows how complete
food an egg is. 1t is also easily di-
gested, if not damaged in cooking. A
raw or soft boiled egg is always as easily
assimilated as is milk, and can be eaten
with impunity by children and invalids.
The average egg weighs q thousand
grains, and is worth more as food than
so much beefsteak. Indeed, there is
no more concentrated and nourishing
food than eggs. The albumen, oil and
saline matter are, as in milk, in the
right proportion for sustaining animal
life. When eggs bring no n,ore than
twenty cents per dozen, it is much bet
ter economy to find market for them
in the family than at the store. Two
or three boiled eggs, with the addition
of a slice or two of toast, wi II make a
breakfast sufficient for man, and good
enough for king.
An ordinary hens egg weighs from
one and half TO two ounces, a ducks
egg from two to three ounces, the egg
of the sea-gull aud the turkey from
three to four ounces, and the egg of q
goose from four to six ounces. The
solid matter and the oil in the ducks
egg exceed those in hens egg by about
one-fourth. According to Dr. Edward
Smith, in his treatise on Foods" al
egg weighing an ounce and three-quar-
ters consists of l20 grains OF carbon, and
eighteen and three-quarter grains OF
nitrogen, or 1925 per cent. of carbon,
and two per cent. of nitrogen. A writer
in the Scientific Farmer estimates that
the value of one pound Of eggs, as food
for sustaining the active forces Of the
body, is to the value of one pound oi
lean beef as 1854 to 800. As a flesh
producer, one pound of eggs is about
equal to one pound of beef.
A hen may be calculated to consume
one bushel of corn yearly, and to lay
ten dozen or fifteen pounds of eggs.
This is equivalent to saying that three
and one-tenth pounds of corn will pro-
duce, when fed to hen, five-sixths of a
pOund Of APPS Rut fiya-sixths Of a
pound of pork requires about five
pounds OF corn for its production.
When eggs are one shilling per dozen,
and pork five pence per pound, We have
u bushel of corn fed, producing ten
shillings worth of eggs and four shil-
lings of pork. Judging from these facts,
eggs must be economical in their pro-
duction and in their eating, and espe-
cially fit for the laboring man in replac-
ing meat.-Pr0visi0ner.
