Starved on Condensed MIX.

DR.. Raymond of the Brooklyn Board
of Health, has, according to the Eagle,
investigated the 663 deaths among
children under two years old due to
cholera infantum, diarrhea and other
similar diseases.
He ascertained that fully 80 per cent
of these children had been fed on con-
densed milk, 10 per cent were nurs'
ing infants and the remainder were
nourished by various prepared baby
foods.
Most of the condensed milk used
was of the canned variety, depending
on the large amount Of sugar In 1t TO
preserve it. The mothers were &C.
customed to dilute this in ten parts
of water. In this form 1t was fed to
the child. Owing to the sweetness OF
the mixture the children liked 1t, OF
course, and seemed to thrive, as the
sugar fattened them. But there Is a
preponderance of casein in condensed
milk which is not digestible. There
is also an absence of fat. Hence the
children, who had been fed with this
food presented broken down systems
to the summer heat and could not
stand the strain. Death followed.
Be this as it may, it emphasizes
the necessity of putting a stop to the
fraud of selling condensed skim milk
as condensed milk.-New York Pro-
duce Review.

Eatteninq Fowls.

Exercise is not conducive to the
laying on of flesh. On the other hand
as birds do not thrive when confined
in coops the process of fattening
should be a very quick one. Four
teen days is long enough to get
fowl in condition. Mashed potatoes
one-half and corn meal one-half is
good combination. Feed all they can
eat in the morning. At noon give
ground oats, middlings and ground
corn equal parts. In evening give
plenty of wheat and corn. This may
be kept before them all the time. Give
plenty OF water and grit and also
little green food IL convenient They
will then soon be ready for the mar
ket.-J. r. Brabazon.

first made for candlesticks, and later
on were chiefly used as pastille burn

New Zealand Bacon Shipments.

For some years the New Zealanders
have been trying to ship bacon to Eng
land and get it there in good condi-
ton. Until recently they have met
with little success so far as getting
their product to market in good shape
was concerned. The bacon generally
came onto the market either tainted
or discolored, due to the methods Of
freezing. Now a method Of chilling
and freezing has been invented that
is said to make 1t possible to put the
bacon onto the English market in as
fine condition as when it came from
the New Zealand factories.

Relation of Fat to Cheese Products.

Relation of Fat to Cheese Products
A good many people are still lg-
norant of the fact that the richness
of milk largely regulates its value for
cheese-making. Yet this truth has
been known for q number OF years.
At the Wisconsin state fair, Professor
Harrington showed six cheeses to IL
lustrate this. His exhibit was as
follows:
lib cheese-Made from 200 lbs.
skinned milk, testing 10 per cent.
13.4.lb cheese-Made from 200 lbs.
milk, testing 1 per cent fat.
16-lb cheese-Made from 2OO IDS
milk, testing 2 per cent fat.
1S.4-lb. cheese-Made from ZOO IDS
milk, testing per cent fat.
21.8-lb. cheese-Made from ZOO IDS
milk, testing per cent fat.
24.S-lb cheese-Made from 200 IDS
Milk, testing per cent fat.
It will be seen that the old rule OF
one pound of cheese from ten OF milk
seldom holds good, the best milk In
this case yielding about one pound Of
cheese from eight Of milk, while the
poorest gave one pound OF cheese
from about 10 of milk. The casein
content of milk holds nearly con
slant relation to its fat content.

DEATH TRAPS OF INSECTS

The life of insects is beset with many

bugs of less degree find pitfalls and Of

the milkweed, otherwise known as the
Virginia swallowwort. If these flowers
are examined any sunny day one will be
pretty sure to find them decorated with
a miscellaneous assortment of struggling
or dead insects with their legs fast in the
Sits of the peculiar blossoms. The pollen
of this common plant, instead OF being
a powder as in the case of most plants,
consists of sticky, waNen masses hidden
within the blossom. When q visiting IN

opening of such a flower some OF these
masses stick to it, and the natural course
is for the insect to fly of to another
flower and fertilize this with the adher-

England produced three times as much

then Germany has challenged the SUI

her in a decade of remarkable growth.
And yet, in the current year OF 1902, the
United States of America will produce
more iron than England and Germany
combined. Indeed, there is margin OF
