Boiling Grain.

Did you ever try boiling grain for
fattening fowls? 1t has long been the
custom among poultrymen in France.
The grain is put in pan Of water and
boiled until soft enough to be easily
bruised between the fingers. It is
claimed that four pints of oats boiled
will fill a pint measure seven times,
four pints of barley boiled will fill q
pint measure ten times, four pints Of
buckwheat boiled will fill pint meas
use fourteen times, four pints Of maize
boiled will fill pint measure fifteen
times, four pints of wheat boiled will
fill pint measure ten times, and four
pints of rye boiled will fill pint meas
ure fifteen times.
In this country poultrymen gener-
ally claim that there Is no saving in
boiling the food, notwithstanding the
increase in bulk, as they say there
seems to be a corresponding lessening
of its sufficing properties; that seven
pints Of boiled oats will be consumed
in the same time and by the same
number of fowls as four pints Of the
dry grain" But still we believe there
is economy in feeding the boiled grain
in fattening, as it has been proved be-
yond doubt that the fowls will fatten
more readily with the latter.-Ex.

A Celebrated Case Decided.

Much interest will be manifested by
the medical profession and the public
generally in the final outcome of the
celebrated case Of Johann Hoff vs.
Tarrant & Co., in which the complain
ant Johann Hoff inc) sought to
compel the defendant (Tarrant & Co.
inc) to change the label on their malt
extract, which was being sold as
"Hoff's Malt Extract" and which the
complainant claimed they had no right
to do, as the genuine Johann Hoffs
Malt Extract was generally known
throughout the United States as
"Hoff's Malt Extract"
Judge Coke rendered an opinion in
the United States circuit court, sub
stantially sustaining the claims of the
complainant, and ordered Tarrant &
Co. to change the label on their malt
extract, so that the makers name will
be conspicuously displayed thereon,
and thereby clearly designate their ex-
tracts from the genuine Johann Hoff's
Malt Extract, for which the Esner &
Mendelson Co., of New York, are sole
agents.
This litigation has been going on for
years between the parties about their
respective rights to the words "Hoff's
Malt Extract
Johann Hoff, of Berlin, originally in
troduced the Malt Extract some fifty
years ago, and it became known all
over the world under the trade name
of "Hoff's Malt Extract" He received
seventy-siX awards from various exhi-
billions and scientific societies, ETC., and
was appointed purveyor to most of the
courts of Europe. He was also knight
ed by Emperor William, of Germany,
and received the golden cross of mer-
it from the Emperor of Austria for the
excellent quality of his preparation.
1t is, therefore, no wonder that va
rious other parties have tried from
time to time to gain from the reputa-
ton of the genuine Johann Hoff's Malt
Extract, and this decision, acknowledge
ing the right Of the successors of Jo-
ham Hoff to the words ''Hoff's Malt
Extract" for the genuine Johann
Hoff's Malt Extract, is a step in the
right direction.
The court has given Tarrant & Co.
six weeks time from Feb. 7 in which
to make the changes on their label.
