Says He Detected Very Familiar
OdOr to IL.
Washington, D. c., April 13.-Dr.
". D. Bigelow, chemist OF the sgri-
cultural department, told the Wade
court of inquiry to- day that the
canned corned beef was a wholesome
and nutritive product-even more
nutritious than fresh beef, because
of the preponderance of proteids.
He also gave the details of his gen.
eral investigation in the canned beef
supply, showing the beef to be a
generally satisfactory ration.
Prof Mallet, professor of chemis
Try at the University of Virginia,
presented contrary view. He ex-
pressed the opinion that a chemical
analysis was not a sufficient test of
the character of food product, say
ing that various conditions necessa-
rily must be considered. He did not
regard the canned roast beef a
desirable ration.
Rudolph K. Spicer, an undertake r
of Harrisburg, Pa said he had dis
covered crystalline salts IN the re-
frigerator beef in Porto Rico which
reminded him of powders used in
embalming.
DR. Bigelow was questioned by
Colonel Davis at length with the
view of counteracting the effect Of
the testimony of Drs. Brady, Currie
and others whose testimony had de
clared that chemicals had been used
in the preservation of the meat sup

he had examined both the refrigera
tor and canned roast beef and haC
found no evidence of the use o
prsservatives in either. He said b,
had never known formaldehyde t,
be used as preservative of meat
but it was a powerful germicide.
Rudolph K Spicer, a funeral di
rector and embalmer of Harrisburg
Pa, testified he was a member o
the Fourth Pennsylvania regimen
and served in PORT Rico. He ha'
paid especial attention 10 the mea
issue. The cooks had found it nee
essary to cut off two or three inche
of the refrigerated beef because o
the greenish discoloration.

Tho Glover Crop,

This has been a hard year for the
clover fields, and for that reason some
farmers will need all the encourage
uent they can receive to prevent them
from giving up the growing Of clover.
Where it Is naturally difficult to get a
catch the farmer will argue that the
clover crop Is thing so little to be de-
pended on that it Is safer for him to
put his money and efforts into some
more certain crop. But the full value
to the farm of the clover crop should
be considered. Frequently the clover
crop is the only practical means OF
providing nitrogen to the soil. We say
practical because to buy commercial
nitrogen in any form for our great
western grain farms is out OF the ques-
ton. The dairy farmer will not gem
orally make the mistake OF being COM
PEELED to use for feeding his dairy cows
a less valuable hay than that made
from clover because 1t can be more
easily grown. The reports from the
new sowings of clover indicate that the
rains OF this spring have proved bene-
fetal and we may expect to have
good stand of new clover this summer
and fall.

Strawberry Pests. The earliest
strawberries come from Florida. and
there. as elsewhere, this fruit, as well
