FOOD IN TINS.
Precautions Necessary to Avert Dangers
at Pat

r.. fa~ = OF Poison. '--
It cannot be doubted that certain foods
preserved in tins afford an auxiliary and
convenient source of food supply which
c,lnot well be dispensed with, and, that.
being so, any suggestion calculated to in
sure the wholesomeness of the food so
preserved is entitled to every considera-
ton. We do not believe that the mis-
chief that now and again arises from
the consumption of timed food is re-
ferrable to the presence of the metal.
Tin is Il comparatively harmless metal,
while the iron over which it is vcneered
il quite free from risk. The lead i'll
the solder employed may, however, give
rise to poisoning, but we believe that
eases of this kind are rare. The dam
gers of timed food generally arise from
an inherent change in the food itself,
and there is no doubt that the longer
the food is preserved the greater is the
chance of its being unwholesome. while,
as IS well known, as soon as the food
thus preserved is exposed to the air GER
tain changes apidly set in, and for this
reason the food should be partaken of
as soon as possible after the tin is opend.
DR.. Sykes, the medical officer of health
OF st. Pancras, makes what would APP
pear to be Il useful and practical sugges-
ton in his annual report, which is that
the law should provide that all tins con-
tanning timed food shall have stamped
upon them the date of timing. Assum-
ing that the correct date of Timing were
thus stamped upon the tin, the public
would be able to judge in some measure
of the wholesomeness of the contents,
since it is reasonable to suppose that the
enclosed food would not improve on pro-
longed keeping. We trust that the sug-
gcstion will be brought before the notice
and consideration of the proper author

A Prize Ear Of Corn.

An ear of corn which Patrick Cullen
believes to be worth small fortune is
being carefully preserved by that indi-
yidual, who recently found his prize on
Farmer Upright's place ut Merton Square.
Montgomery county To the ordinary city
man there is really nothing remarkable
about the ear Of corn. Its kernels are
not of solid gold, nor are there any dia-
monds concealed about the cob Its value
lies in the fact that somewhere at some
time or other some agricultural society of
fered Il reward of $1,000 to any one who
would find perfect ear Of corn, with the
kernels growing i'll an uneven number Of
rows. 1t has always been found that the
rows are even. say ten, twelve or four
teen, to a cob. This ear which Patrick
Cullen found. however. shows thirteen
rows around the butt and eleven around
the middle of the cob. Many farmers to
whom Cullen showed his prize assured
him that the ear was as perfect as it
could be, and that it was really Curl
osity. Cullen is now looking for the az
ricultural society which offered the $1,000
reward.-Philadelphi Record.

The Lilly and the Ancicnta

Most everybody has observed the
strange, characteristics of the water lily
bud opening it's petals at sunrise and
closing them again at sunset. 1t was for
this reason mainly that the ancients held
the water lily sacred to the sun. Pliny
says: 1T is reported that in the Er-
pirates the flower of the lotus plunges
into the water at night, remaining there
till midnight, and to such depth that it
cannot be reached with the hand. After
as the sun rises above the horizon the
flower also rises above the water, ex-
pands and raising itself some distance
above the element in which it grows" It
was also through this popularity that
Hancarville proved that the Egyptians
considered the lily an emblem Of the
world as it rose from the waters Of the
deep.-Pittsburg Dispatch. IL sE

Winter Cara of Sheen.


The digestion of the sheep is so strong
that it thrives better on grain unground
than ON that which is ground, because
probably in chewing the food it mixes
more of saliva with it. But despite this
farm stock suffers so much from slight
overfeeding. What is worse, every time
this overlooking occurs the body is
thrown into a feverish condition, and the
wool, which is constantly growing, suf-
fers from its effects. All wool buyers
have learned to look for these weak
places, in the. wool, which greatly lessen
its value. These weak places invariably
in our Northern climates occur in the
winter growth of wool, ut which season
the sheep are generally fed dry and often
innutritious food. 1t requires a good
deal of heterogeneous substance in the food
to produce wool. This may be known
by the fact that it is so difficult to burn
WOODEN goods SO as to make blaze, while
with cotton goods this is an easy matter.
The remedy for poor wool is to give a
kind of nutrition, and also to supply
enough succulent food to keep the diges-
ton in good condition. Roots are best.
The turnips and rutabagas are the roots
most commonly fed. But this beet, and
later in the season mangel wurtzel, are
better than the turnip fer sheep that have
lambs, as the beet is one of the best
feeds to increase milk production. Those
who have ensilage may feed some of it
to sheep. But ensilage is not adapted to
feeding sheep as main feed, partly be-
cause it muses. so easily, and the sheep
quickly rejects any feed that it has nosed
over. But the main reason why ensilage
is not adapted to sheep is because it is
made usually from cornstalks. which
have very little heterogeneous nutrition

Olive Culture in Eurone.

Recent official statistics show that Spain
produces yearly more olives and olive oil
than all the rest of the European coun>
tries put together. In France, especially in
Aude, Herault and the Pyrenees-O rientales
the territory employed for the cultivation
of the olive has been rapidly diminished.
In Provence, however, the growth is in
creasing owing to the importation of
American trees. The entire output of the
oil in France reached this year only 3OO,-
600 casks of about thirty gallons each.
The production in Italy reached 1.3OO, 600
casks. Spain, however, produces at least
1857 ,314 casks. But the price is lower
and the quality is said to be poorer than
that of the French or Italian oils. The
value of the entire European output of oil
is estimated this year at $57, 800.
