THE EVIL OF FRIED FOOD.
IN Can Be Done to Lessen This
Nuisance?

No n who has taken the trouble to
scan the average American bill of fare
can fail to recognize the Importance of
the frying pan with us; fried ham or
bacon and eggs, fried oysters, fried po-
tatoes, fried steaks, and so on, ad
nauseum, seem to be staple articles of
food, says the Philadelphia Medical
Journal. What can be done to lessen
the fried-food nuisance? Perhaps moth
ing SO long as present conditions exist;
so long as the highest ideal of the peo-
pie is to accumulate dollars rather than
to develop and preserve healthy bodies
which shall be the servants of healthy
minds. Yet if those who teach physi-
ology in our public and other schools
understand their subject and it's prac-
tical application as they should; if
there were more schools in which
wholesome, economical cookery were
taught as it should be; if physicians
took every opportunity to impress such
facts of practical hygienic Importance
as they should, there can be no doubt
that by some sensible and well-inform-
ed people, the fried denominations
would be avoided.

Begun with Small Farm-Now Does Ex-
tensive Mixed Farming.
Within three miles of the town, 60
ing eastward. is the farm of Mr.. w.
Dreamer, one of the municipalities
largest and most prosperous mixed
tarmers. Mr.. Dreamer came to this
country in 1880 and settled on a por-
ton of the land which comprises his
present enormous farm of 1890 acres.
In common with many others of a
similar period, he experienced all the
h~ardships and difficulties ommon to
the absence of railway and market ia
e1lities. In no wise daunted, by ener-
BY, industry and indomitable will ne
was able to surmount all obstacles
and has achieved an unparalleled sue
cess, and is known throughout the dis
trlct as one of its pre-eminent farm
ers. His operations extend over 1880
acres, two sections (the thought alone
OF so much land makes the eastern
farmer dizzy; 800 acres of this is
broken and the remainder is excellent
pasture land and wood. This harvest
he took off a crop Of 500 acres of wheat
and 200 Of other grains. Four hundred
acres are plowed and ready for wheat
next spring. Mr.. Creamer is, as has
been stated, a mixed farmer of no
mean proportions, having at the pres
ent time forty horses, sixty head of
cattle and fifty pigs. The most mod
ern farm buildings are found on his
premises, the main building being a
barn ffty-fve feet square on a stone
foundation, containing stabllng for
sixteen horses and a large number of
cattle. The loft is stored with twenty
nine loads of sheaf oats for feed, and
tons OF. hay; there is also a cutting
box. Another building of large di-
mansions is the granary, in which, aft
er teaming large quantities to market,
he still has stored 5000 bushels of
wheat. A crushing machine is in the
building. There are a number of less
er buildings containing chicken house,
pig pens and cattle sheds. The farm
residence is a handsome frame struc-
ture of ample proportions; in connec-
ton with it is a woodshed. The water
supply Is unexcelled; besides house
supply there is a we'll in the stables
and a never-failing spring situate in a
blum, which never freezes. Surround
ed by a thick bluff of poplars, extend.
ing In a semi-circle to the west, north
and east, the winter storms are brok-
en- and accumulation OF snow unknown.
Added to his farming operations, Mr..
Dreamer conducts a threshing o,tit-
for the season. His success is only
one instance of. what can be accom-
plished in western Canada.-Baldur
(Man.) Gazette, Nov. 16, 1899.
There will be thousands remove to
western Canada this year to engage in
the pursuit of farming.

Eels As

Few people would be gratiied il they
should find an eel in their rain-water
c~istern, and probably the last conclu-
sion come to would be that the water
was thereby improved. Yet, according
to Prof. Sobrero of Turin, this would
be the case. The professor has recent
ly suggested that cells should be used as
purifiers of water. All one has to do
in order to keep the water in the els
tern pure is to put two or three cells,
not very big, but lively, into it. With
marvellous rapidity they will devour
everything Objectionable that may drop
into the water or generate there. All
that the water may chance to contain
in the way of animalcules, i~nfusoria,
vegetable matter or animal matter, is
acceptable to them. Their mission end
ed, they may in turn be eaten, or may
be saved as s~cavengers in other depart
ments of the water-supply. The Brit
ish Medical Journal inclines to the be-
lief that after using the cells as scav-
engers few people would care to eat
them, but remarks that cells eat worse
things in their ordinary haunts than
they are likely to find in the most neg
lected cistern. The same journal sug-
gests that a useful field of action for
cells may be found in reservoirs as we'll

MelIowing muskmelon. In southern Italy

Mellowing In Southern Italy
In southern Italy muskmelons are at
best much inferior to the American
fruit, lacking the sweetness and flavor
of our fruit. Strange to say, however,
this inferior melon, when saved for
winter consumption, becomes of an ex-
cellent flavor. The melons are pulled
from the vines while green and hung
in the open air until winter, when
they are eaten. The melon treated thus
becomes not only far superior to the
ripe fruit of summer, but equal to the
American melon in sweetness and
flavor.

To Prevent Frauds in Liquids.

A variation OF the mu%ltitudinous
non-refllable bottle patent is the idea
of an inventor of New York city. He
does not endeavor to produce a bottle
which cannot be reflled, for it is
pointed out that dealers are adverse to
handling such bottles, as it reflects on
their honesty. but to produce one
which places a premium on honesty.
The scheme is to place in each bottle
a small porcelain ball, small enough
to come out OF the neck Of the bottle
and mark it with the trademark or
brand of the liquid tho bottle is sup
posed to contain. the bottle being OF
course similarly labeled. These balls
are to be redeemed by the bother or
manufacturer for a small cash pre-
MUM, or its equivalent. AS the in
The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1900-05-10

ventor states, this scheme cannot de-
feat a determined effort to substitute
a low for a high grade Of liquor in
the reflling of a bottle Gas the same
ball and bottle might be used over and
over AGAIN., but by making them re-
deemable for a small consideration it
is thought that such dishonest practice
would be minimiZed.

Asbestos and It's u.ea.

Asbestos is remarkable as an exam
pie of a substance, long regarded as
economically valueless, suddenly tax
Ing its place among minerals OF COM
merclal Importance, and rapidly COM
ing into use, until it's production ranks
as a staple branch of the industries of
this country. Asbestos is a fibrou5
variety OF the mineral actinolite, and
consists essentially of oxide of iron,
alumlna, magnesia, silica and water,
and in appearance has a silky, ~vitreous
iuster, while it's indestructibility by
nre forms the leading characteristic
on which is based the commercial and
unitarian value of the substance un-
Ger consideration The mineral is wide
~ distributed the two principal sources
OF commercial Importance being Italy
II Canada; that derived from the
FORMER country being the most valu-
able and being distinguished from
other varieties by its brownish tint.
The process in vogue for the manu-
facture of raw asbestos into the vari-
Gus articles for which it is now en-
ployed may be briefly summarized. Ar
rived in bags weighing from one to
two hundredweight, the Jumps of crude
ASBESTOS are put through an ingenious
crushing machine, whose rollers have
a parallel motion in addition to their
rolling action over each other. This
action efectually opens out the f1bers,
which are then boiled in large tanks.
The shorter ibers, having been ground
down and reduced to a pulp, are con-
verted into asbestos millboard by ma
nlpulation on gauze netting, a process
familiar to all persons who have visit
ed paper mills and witnessed the man
ufacture of ordinary paper. Asbestos
millboard forms a valuable packing"
for engines, while its non-conducting
properties render 1t serviceable on
electrical work. A bare enumeration
OF the many purposes to which asoes-
tos Is 10 devoted would form a for
midable list: Packing" for all classes
OF machinery, ropes, fire escapes and
dremen's clothing ,furnacemen's gloves,
fre-proof putty, sheeting, boiler and
steam pipe covering, millboard for
every purpose, cloth for fltering acids
and other similar uses; for covering
rollers in print works where aniline
dyes are employed, and it is necessary
to resist heat and the action of the
acids; for flooring and wallfelt, more
especially in timber-built houses; as a
lubricant for every class of engine,
portable ire-proof safes, lamp shades,
and a variety of other articles, in which
the fire and heat resisting properties
of the substance under consideration
render ii OF especial value.
