The Beef-Tea Delusion.

1t is popularity supposed by all classe,
OF persons. and the idea has usually
been sustained by medical opinion. tina:
beef tea is highly nutritive substance,
and fitting food for the sick: but
science has satisfactorily demonstrated
that this is one of the many popular
errors of the age. The following ex-
estlnS, as showing how utterly delusiye
existing opinions on this subject are:
we must guard against supposing that
meat-bouillon possesses strengthening
ana nourishing influence In regard to
this, the most delusive notions are en-
tertained, not only by the general pub
lie but also by medical men. Until quite
recently the opinion was held that bouil-
lon contained the most nutritive part
OF meat. There was a confused idea
that minute quantity of material
a plateful of bouillon made from a tea
spoonful of meat eXtract-could yield
an effectual source of nourishment; that
the extractives of meat were synony-
nous with concentrated food. Let us
inquire what substances could render
bouillon nutritious. The only article
which meat yields to boiling water is
gelatin. 1t is we'll known that albumen
is coagulated in boiling, the glycogen of
meat is rapidly converted into sugar,
and this again into Tactic acid. The
quantity Of gelatin is, moreover, very
small; for a watery solution, which con-
tains only one per cent of gelatin, CO.
agulates on cooling. Such coagulation
may occur in very strong soups and
gravies, but never in bouillon. Bouil-
Ion, therefore, contains much less than
one per cent of gelatin" In view of
these facts, 1t is important that too
much dependence be not placed on beef
extracts and bouillon, as patients kept
on this diet may lack the proper nour-
ishment to enable them to resist the
ravages Of disease.

good pasturage in order that they can
be put in good gaining condition be-
fore being bred. In many cases either
the ewes or the lambs can be turned
into the cornfields to good advantage,
the shade being comfortable to them,
while they will eat off the lower blades
on the corn that would otherwise be
wasted and also keep down many weeds
that would otherwise start up. 1t is
quite an item to keep the lambs gaining
daily and it is better to give them
little extra attention rather than to fail
in this-Ex.

EGGS Versus Eggs.

Somehow 1t seems to be extremely
difdcult to get away from the idea that
an egg is an egg and so long as the
market will accept, there is no reason
for such difference in value. Looking
over the large supply in the hands OF
well-known Boston firm, this question
OF grade came up, and We confess to
not little surprise as case after case
was opened for inspection. One lot
would be uniform in size and color,
clean and attractive. while the next, al
though marked by the shipper first
quality" would be Of all sizes, colors.
and in every stage Of decay. One case
OF ducks eggs was marked 36 cents.
while alongside was another marked II
cents, the difference being in size, want
OF cleanliness and uncertainty about
age.
It is just this easy-going, happy-go-
lucky way which ruins so many poul-
trymen. Eggs sell on quality, and this
means not only cleanliness, uniform
size and color, but unmistakable evil
dence of freshness. Why man should
allow an egg in case which in either
respect mars, is mystery, because that
one egg will be taken as evidence of the
possible condition Of the whole, and
away goes the price. Commission deal
ers do not repack for their customers,
and the case Of eggs is rated by the
poorer. not the better samples. To
get the top price, every egg must be
what it purports to be, and single

Shipping Butter.

In writing to the Creamery Gazette
m this subject a commission firm Of
Chicago says:
II IS a very common thing for cream
cries to divide up their weeks make
,nto five or ten tub lots and ship to
four or five different commission
houses. thereby hoping to find out
which is the best house. A much bet
tor way is, in the first place, to investi-
rate very carefully, not only the stand
inc and reputation Of the house, but
their capacity for handling goods. But

the best results, send your entire weeks

can rest assured If they are the right

A Boat Propelled by the Waves.

A strange craft devised by a San
Francisco man is now afioat in San
Francisco bay and is causing the old
salts no end Of amaze ard concern. The
remarkable feature of the thing is that
1t is designed to make the water on
which it floats do double duty, both that
OF buoying it up and that of propelling
1t. Other means of progress it has none.
There is no electricity, Steam, naphtha.
gas, or compressed air TO furnish mo-
tive power. The water is expected to
do 1t all. This picture, reproduced from
the San Francisco Chronicle, shows
what the contrivance looks like. AS
may be seen, it is not unlike a dredger
In appearance. AS it goes along the
paddle wheels at the sides splash the
water and various cranks and bars and
shafts aloft move rhythmically. The
boat is wave motor, and is designed
as a Experimentation boat, although
the possibility Of dead calm has ap-
parently not been taken into considera-
tion Two f1at-bottomed scows are fas-
tened end on by huge hinge from the
boat. When the scows rock in the
waves the force Of their rocking is COM
munlcated to lever which moves a
ny wheel. which in turn moves the pad
dle-wheels. and there you are So long
as the waves endure the boat goes. and
the higher the waves rise the greater
the motive power of the boat There was
ohe disadvantage about the thing as
originally devised-it wouldn't stop.
Like the famous cork leg, it went on
and on and on, and the only way to hold
it was by an anchor. So the inventor
contrived way to switch the wave mo-
tor power to vacancy and reduce the
motion to simple rocking on the
waves. He proposes to make third
use Of the power-namely, to furnish
power for other machines when at the
wharf. A trial of this will be made
later, the boat having sufficiently DEM
onstrated its capacity of wave propul-
sion. The inventor of the boat is Paul
Breitenstein. stage carpenter in the Nc
Donough theater at Oakland. His nau-

The Hen In Summer.

One quart Of grain or its equivalent
will feed ten hens one day. This is
merely approximate, for the size, &C
tivity or whether she is confined or
running at large will have to be con-
sidered. There is really very little diff
ference as to the quantity Of food con-
sumed between Leghorn or Brahma.
What the former lacks in size is made
up by greater activity. The more &C
tive the breed the more food they will
consume. If fowls are yarded then it
will probably take a little more than
a quart of food to supply them. II,
however, they are on the range Tin sum-
mer), then a pint or less should be
given. If the range is good do not give
any food in the morning, but let the
night feed be as much as they will eat
up clean in say five minutes, and no
more. If the range is poor, or II a
large number of hens are running to-
gether, then feed light mess (scalded)
in the morning. Remember, the OBJ
ject is not to fill up the crop Tin the
morning), but just enough to take OF
the sharp cravings Of hunger. II the
crop is full then the fowl will take
things very easy until it begins to get
hungry. Work is the keynote Of sue
cess. We do not mean to say that the
fowls should do all the work. They are
not expected to clean up the roosts or
fight lice. This work must be per-
formed by the one who expects to profit
by the hens labor. His reward comes
by getting good supply Of eggs. There

be busy yourself.-American Cultivator.

Premature Sourness of Milk.-The
common trouble at this season of the
year is mostly due to some infection of
the milk by acid of previous milkings
adhering to the pals. Sometimes It
may be caused by overheating of the
cows, but rarely. The most common
cause is neglect perfectly to clean the
pals or milk pans. These should first
be cleaned in cold water, in which COM
mon washing soda is dissolved. A
stiff brush is used to clean the corners
thoroughly. The vessels are then
rinsed with hot water twice, then again
with cold. and then turned bottom up

when they should be removed to the
dairy room. Before being used they
should be rinsed with perfectly cold
water. It is alleged, and possibly with
truth, that IN the majority of instances
in which diseases have been conveyed
in milk the cause has been the use of
impure water for rinsing the utensils.

fTOlOZOd.-EXpeTCS OF the dSf1cultur.
al department have been carrying on an
exhaustive investigation of infectious
diseases among poultry. The preva-
lence of protocol among turkeys was
the subject of a special inquiry. The
result shows that the disease attacks
the young by preference, and that in
lection does not take place later on.
It runs no regular course, but varies In
severity, duration and termination.
Though restricted to the casca and the
liver, its action is severe enough to
prove fatal to many affected turkeys.
The disease process is always associat-
ed with a protozoan parasite Of very
minute size. Certain flocks only are
affected, and the disease becomes per-
petuated and diffused among neighbor-
ing docks. The remedy recommended
BY the department is to entirely destroy
the diseased flocks and obtain new ami
mails elsewhere after thorough cleans
ing and disinfection of the territory &C.
cupied by the diseased fowls.-Ex.
