FOOD VALUES OF OLIVES.
Discussed in the Year Book of tn
Department of Agriculture.

Two food products of considerable
Importance are made from olives
namely, olive oil or salad oil and
picked olives. A third product, little
known in this country, is the dried
olive. much eaten in Greece and some
other neighboring countries. All olive
oil and picked olives We're formerly
imported, most generally from south
| ern Europe. In recent years California
has developed olive growing, and the
| industry has now assumed consider
able Importance.
The ripe olive fruit is not unlike an
oval damsOn plum in form and size. In
| color it ranges from various shades of
| purple to almost black. 1t has a sour
and persistent bitter flavor. Samples
of many different varieties analyzed
varied greatly in size. ranging from
less than 100 to over 400 to the pound,
the majority. however. ranging from
150 to $50 to the pound. The pit con-
stitutes about 20 per cent of the whole
fruit, but here there is also consid-
cradle range. Both pulp and pit con-
tain oil. The amount of oil in the pulp
in different samples analyzed ranged
from Is to about IS per cent; that in
Whether used for oil making or for
picking the olive should be carefully
gathered The ripe fruit is used for oil
making and for picking, the exact
stage when it is best suited for this
purpose being matter which must be
learned by experience. The green fruit
is also used for picking and should
be gathered when full grown and just
hnfn ~
The picked olives usually found in the
American market are made from the
green fruit. The picked ripe olives
are also met with and may be recog-
nized bv their dark color.
The best oil Is made by crushing the
carefully picked fresh olives. TO facili-
tate the extraction of the oil the olives
are often partially dried before crush
ing. Old-fashioned stone mills are
commonly used to crush the fruit. al
though bronze crushers are being tried
with good results. The ground mass is
pressed to extract the juice, which con-
'tains watery plant juices in addition
to the oil and more or less pulpy mat
ter. Various devices are used to sep
arate the oil and to purify it. 1t is
said that the best oil is obtained bv
allowing the pulp, etc, to SETTLE and
decanting the clear oil. II generally
takes about one month for oil to settle
the first time. Three rackings are usu-
ally sufficient. The oil thus obtained
is almost as bright as can be produced
by the most effective iiltration and it
has, besides, the distinctive olive flavor
and lacks the greasiness which is
characteristic of all filtered oils. At
the present time a good and growing
demand exists all over the United
States for olive products, but the
market seems to be poorly organized
Ripe pickles bring 10 cents per gallon
in the market, while good, ripe olives
for picking sell in the orchard for
from $50 to 500 per ton, A steady mar
ket exists also for standard size green
pickles.

Candidates Are Complaining.

1t Is claimed that each member Of

rental of the election booths, printing
ballots and other incidentals.
They further contend that IL but one

tinued before the Objectionable flavor
would disappear. At the beginning OF
the trial Il half ounce of chopped onion
tops per head daily was fed to twelve
hens OF different breeds. Repeated
tests did not show any onion flavor in
the eggs until the fifteenth day, whel,
it was distinctly noticeable. The
amount of onion fed was doubled for
four days and then discontinued. The
eggs laid while the larger amount Of
onion was fed were so strongly flavor
ed that they could not be used. Al
ter disseminating the feeding of onions
the flavor became less noticeable and
in a week the eggs We're of normal
flavor. The main points brought out
Ly the tests We're the following:
Flavor can be fed into eggs. There
fore 1t appears tn insure finely Favored
eggs it is necessary to restrict so that
no considerable amount of food which
will produce badly favored eggs can
he obtained.
Some years ago the New York Cor
nell station, in studying the effect OF
heterogeneous against carbonaceous food
for poultry, reported observations on
the effect of the different rations ON
the flavor of eggs. One lot of fowls
was fed mixture of wheat shorts.
cotton seed meal and skim milk; an
other lot cracked corn and corn dough.
The former ration contained much
more nitrogen than the latter. The
hens fed corn laid fewer eggs than
those fed the heterogeneous ration, but
the eggs were larger. The eggs pro-
duced by the heterogeneous ration We're
of Il disagreeablc flavor and smell,
had a small yoke and did not keep
we'll. The flesh of the poultry fed this
ration, however, was darker, more
succulent and tender than that of the
fowls fed the carponaceous ration.
These experiments also show that
the food has marked effect on the
flavor of eggs. The general eNper-
ience of poultry raisers Is that nitro
genous rations are more profitable to
feed since they produce IL larger num-
her of eggs. In view of the fact that
such Il ration, If too rich in nitrogen,
may produce eggs OF unpleasant flavor,
II would seem advisable to note the
effect of any ration fed upon flavor
and modify ii II the eggs are found
to be inferior in this respect.

HEN FOOD AND EGG FLAVOR.
Agricultural Department Tests
Show There's an Intimate Rela-
fionsbin

Housewives who use many eggs and
all who habitually eat them boiled
know that there is much difference in
the flavor of even those which are un-
ieniably fresh. There is a very gem
eral belief that the flavor is influenced
by the feed which the hens receive,
and that materials possessing strong
flavors, like onions, turnips, etc, i'm
part an injurious flavor to the eggs.
The truth of this belief was shown
by recent experiments at the North
Carolina experiment station of the
United States department of agricul-
ture.
Chopped wild onion tops and bulbs
We're fed to hens and the length of
time before there was a change in the
flavor Of the eggs was noted. as well
