ton it deserves, that in many of the re-
puted cases of poisoning from dietary
articles, diSagreeable, peculiar. or bitter
tastes are often noticed by the patients.
and that those who are wise enough to
take the hint which nature thus gives
them. and at once Ieiuse to partake
further of the article in question usual
~ escape; while the other who neglect
this warning suffer. This has been
noticed in poisoning by canned toma-
toes and apples, as well as by meat.
There il no animal so perfect that it
may not be injured or ruined by poor
feeding or care. Grass is the cheapest
food that fattens cattle, and when IN
abundance and of good quality makes
weight, if not fat, faster than anv other
food. Therefore leaving out of view the
time or age at which you propose to
market the animal, the most ecOnomi-
cal plan to grow him up and tatten him,
! think. is to feed sufficient on corn
from November to April. Whole corn
tatteas a steer or heifer, with good teeth,
faster than meal. From experience |
have found that whole corn will put on
from twenty TO thirty pounds more
weight per month than the same guam
tity OF corn meal. and in feeding whole
corn two cattle vii keep one hog where
in feeding meal they will hardly hold
their own.-fT.
The best cream globules rise soonest
to the surface because thev are the larg-
est. and the'flavoring OILS rise with them
because they are the most volatile:
hence 1t Is that the finest butter is that
which Is made from cream that is
skinned before all Of it that will rise
has risen to the surface, while tha;
which rises afterwards but tends to re-
duce the quality. Cream is a singular
product; all of it would not rise in
month. even il the milk could be kept
sweet during that period-and some of
the glohuleS actually sink instead of
rise. While others remain in suspension,
going neither up nor down. Thus the
sp cite gravity of the globules varies.
not on account of the size onlv. but also
on account OF com position: but. i'm any
case. the cream which, under ordinary
conditions, rises in the first twelve hours
will make the finest Southern
Planter.
Tea having been in use as a drink for
ages, it is hot strange that some delu-
stons should be associated with its use.
1t does not possess all the virtues pOpu.
larry ascribed TO II, while in a pure state,
to say nothing of very harmful adulter-
atoms that are common-it holds some
Objectionable properties Tea contains
q quantity of tannin, as is shown when
a crop is allowed TO remain on steel
knife, Y its leaving black spot. The
presence of tannin in the stomach after
one has eaten fresh meat. tends to in
terfere with digestion. As to the value
OF tea for food, wrong ideas prevail. DR..
of London, England. has the
following on this point: Tea is a slim
ulant. 1t is not food in itself; and
those who spend money upon tea in the
delusiOn that they are pUrchasinga food
really illustrate practice which is COM
parable to that of the man who swallows
whisky or brandy under like deluSiOn
The only person vino can really afford
to take tea, are those who have plenty
Of true food to eat. The sooner the
common delusion regarding the place of
tea as food is exploded. the better will
it be for the national health at large.
Tea-dTinking, as ordinarily practced, is
really at the bottom of as much illness,
and of as many cases Of diSOTdered di-
gestion, as alcohol; and this for the
reason that, though probably not so
rapidly injurious in its action. the
habit of drinking tea at all hours is !
more widely pracdced than alcoholic |
