How ovsters should be Eaten.


The true way to eat oysters profitabiy TO
taste, health and enjoyment, is to eat them
raw, land without any condiment. Vinegar
and pepper will spoil the naturally delicate
flavor of this luscious bivalve, and in fact,
serve to pickle the oyster at once. The only
good dressing is its own gravy, which is not
sea water as many fancy it to be, but its own
life blood, W hich it sheds when the shell is
violently broken open. Hence master OF
the art says of all other ways of dressing,
"Barbarism! Profani ty! Sacrilege! If after
such treatment they taste well, they are no
longer oysters; if they are still oysters they
have no longer any TASTE" And the poet
adds sagely, that, in his view, oysters should
be eaten," as we love to see white roses
with the dew of fine morning on their ten
der l.aves." To all of which the famous
DR.. Kitchener adds: "Those who wish to
enjoy this delicious restorative 10 its utmost
perfection, must eat it at the moment when
it is opened, with its own gravy in the under
shell, If not eaten alive, its flavor and spirit
is lost" Dr. William Roberts, in an interest
ing series of lectures on digestive ferments,
published in the London Lancet, says,
''The oyster is almost the only animal SUBJ
stance which we eat habitually and by pref
erence, in the raw or uncooked state, and it
is interesting to know that there is a sound
physiological reason at the bottom of this
preference. The fawn colored mass which
constitutes the dainty part of the oyster is its
liver, and this is little else than heap Of
glyeogen. Associated with the glyecogen, but
withheld from actual contact with it during
life, is its appropriative digestive fer ment,-
the hepatie diastase. the mere crushing
of the dainty between the teeth brings these
/, two bodies together, and the glycogen is at
once digested without other help, by its
diastase.
The oyster in the uncooked state, or mere
ly warmed, is in fact self digestive. But
the advantage of this provision is wholly
lost by cooking, for the heat employed
Immediately destroys the associated ferment,
and cooked oyster has to be digested like
any other food by the eaters own digestive

Pruning Apple Trees.


Various opinions regarding the best meth
cd and the most suitable time for pruning APP
pie trees are entertained. Some orchardists
advise to prune in the autumn, others in
the winter, in early spring, and others in
June, July or August. In fact almost every
month in the year has been advocated by
some one as being the best time for pruning,
and objected to by some one else. 1t has been
objected to early spring pruning before the
leaves start, that the wounds made will
bleed when the sap begins to start The sap
in spring time presses with considerable force
and if there are no leaves to take 1t up, 1t
may be forced through the pores of the wood
where wounds have been made, and damage
the tree. In regard to pruning in June 1t is
objected that it is busy time and that the
limbs falling intoshe grass beneath the tree,
intefere with. cutting the grass. Another dis
advantage is that in June the bark slips very
easily and damage is liable to be done the
tree. The advantage of June pruning is that
growth is active at that season and the
wounds heal rapidly. Winter pruning is OBJ
iected to on account of the wounds healing
less readily, sometimes causing injury to the
tree. The model method of pruning is that
by which very little pruning is required. II
trees are constantly looked after and the su
periuous branches removed as soon as they
start and while small and tender very slight
wounds will be inflicted upon the tree and
the dangers of pruning are avoided

AGRICULTURAL.
Value OF Buttercup for Fodder.

tBy henry heynoios, M. D'J
The buttercup (Ranunculus acris) is not
regarded with favor by farmers whose fields
1t infests. The buttercup natures early and
when cut during the first part of haying goes
to seed and the stalks soon begin to die, rem
dering it nearly worthless for fodder. Those
who cut their buttercup late in the season
find it nearly worthless feeding and are dis
posed to regard the presence of this plant in
their fields with considerable disfavor But
tercup when cut while in blossom and well
cured constitutes fodder fully equal to clo-
yer and considerably better than timothy hay
Judging from chemical composition. The
chemical composition of buttercup is as fol
lows; albuminoids 1896; fibre. 1910; nitro
gen free extract including starch sugar etc.,
4r,55; fat 1894. The composition of clover is as
follows; albuminoids, 1928; fibre. $50; nj
trogeu free extract, Al As; fat 1,7S. By COM
pairing the constituents of the two il will be
seen that the buttercup contain nearly the
same amount of albuminoids, fibre, and nj
trogen free extract that the clover does and
twice as much fat. As clover IS much more
valuable in nutritive elements than timothy
1t is evident that buttercup is also of greater
value than timothy for certain purposes. AL
though the chemical composition ofbuttercap
shows that it possesses more nutritive mate
rial than timothy hay, yet we do not expect
to see any one anxious to exchange timothy
hay for buttercup, but this knowledge should
serve to make those who have the buttercup,
place higher estimate upon its value than
it has been their wont to do.

The English Sparrow.

Those who have found the sparrow a nui-
sance will readily agree with the following in
Our Continent:
'If the sparrow, whom the Spring makes
more belligerent and obnoxious than ever,
would just take himself away and let our ma
tive songsters, who have been exiled by his
pugnacity, come into our gardens and parks
once more, we would even be willing TO par
don him for his unnumbered displays Of i'll
breeding, ill-nature and general meanness.
By the way, has the reader ever noticed what
difference there is in the feeling the children
have for this smudgy, dirty, greedy wrangler Of
the streets and his country cousin, the modest
gray-vested, clean-footed little chipping bird
that used to hop inquiringly along our garden
paths until driven away by the low-bred stran-
ger from over the sea? No child ever gath
cred other than good impressions from little
Chippie-but the sparrow, brown coat-ugh
He is a devil of the gutter, who has all the
vices of the street Arab and none of his posi-
bilities of amendment. The moral influence
of 'Chippie' was one of the things we lost
when we encouraged the feathered scavenger
that drove him away"
