fer with them IN regard 10 their vailo
as food. Lard and butter are largely
mixed with this oil. This oil is not
readily digested and assimilated by the
digestive organs, but acts as an irri-
tant to the bowels and produces fluX
in man and beast. 1t will sustain life
in itself and prevent starvation were a
person so situated that they could get
nothing else to eat for we know that
the lowest forms of animal and vegeta-
BILE substances are capable of sustaining
human and animal life, but the time
has not yet arrived in this extensive
and prosperous country when human
beings are compelled to select the in
ferior substance of nature for the SUI
perior. Very small quantities of cot
ton-seed meal given to horses or cat
tie will give them active diarrh pa, or
what farmers call "scOurs," unless
mixed with four times its measure OF
meal or bran. just here | would re-
mark that the bran seems to have the
same tendency to make the hair of the
animals sleek that the oil has to make
the skin of the ebony race, producing
what we might call a physiological
phenomenon. Its tendency seems
to build up the oil glands
of the skin rather than
bone and muscle. Old farmers
know and have often remarked this;
they have also noticed its want of
strengthening properties. AS food
for human beings, it's unpleasant odor,
if nothing else, would Danish it from
the kitchen. All cooks both ignorant
aud artistic, say they can smell it when
put in bread, as soon as the stove door
is opened, no matter how much lard
may be mixed with it. AS an economic
measure | have some doubts, as the
oil is relatively higher than lard. L
am satisfied no board of health would
recommend it as a suitable food for
human beings. In comparison with
olive oil, which has so often been done
by its advocates, as parallel, there is
nothing to be gained.
The inhabitants of Southern France
use the olive oil in large quantities
with their black bread, but they use it
pretty much as we do mOlasses or
sirup, they also eat largely of beef.
They are represented as hale, hearty
and industrious class of laborers,
There is no comparison between the
two oils as to their savory qualities.
We would be glad to get it unadulter-
ated with cotton-seed oil. Perhaps
when it is admitted free, we will be
able to enjoy it as of yore on our
salids, and give it to our babies aa a
gentle purgative.

stances as commercial products or
fertilizers, though might do so az |
