FIGS AS FOOD.
The Most Nutritious OF All Fruits
Except the Olive.

The Most Nutritious OF All Fruits
Except the Olive.
One Of the Persian kings caused the cele-
brated Attic figs TO be set before him when
ever he dined, for one reason, TO remind him
that the land where they grew was not yet
his, and that, instead of receiving the fruit
as a tribute, he was obliged u buy it from
abroad and for another, that IL was not only
thee mblean Of health, but the most whole
some fruit grown. The fig is now pretty well
known 10 be, especially at certain seasons,
almost the common food of the Italian PEG
Pile and for months they may be said to live
entirely upon it. AS DR.. Nichols says. il il
not only possible for "a man 10 live upon figs
but, sitting under his own vine aud fg tree
"a man has plenty OF food and no landlord,
When eaten fresh the fig is medicine IA
well as a food and they who eat freely need
no potiOns and no aperients. Full of nu-
TRITON and all those properties that make it
valuable rs an article of diet, we are conf
dent that the fig will take "a prominent 20
siton in the estimation OF all who work for
and believe ia food reform. For myself,
would simply add that, again and again,
without liquid Of any kind, the usrious
green tg eaten with whole meal bread, has
formed dish at once simple but rich, and
like the Spaniards salad, fit for king. The
fig is not only very popular, but il is the
most ancient fruit we cultivate. In many
countries the failure CO this crop also means
starvation and famine. Travellers in Asia
Minor and southern Europe provide them
selves with figs and olives as provs ions for
long journeys and not only live, but grow
fat on the diet The fig has more medicinal
proprieties and more nutriment than any
other fruit with the exception of the olive.

the stick should be made fast to the

hang level, by using a tack or tying with
small cord. When the wind blows the
skirt will be waited to and fro, but when
it ceases it will quietly settle, with the
stake in the centre.
In planting seeds early think it best to
place the protector over them as soon as
planted, by pressing the stake into the
ground near theseed until the wire touches
the ground, which will cause artificial
heat and hasten termination. You can
raise or lower the protectors, as the plant
may require.
This protector is cheap, easily handled
