CONCERNING FISH.
How to Avoid Error In Selection and
Preparation.

How to Avoid Error In Selection and
Preparation.
In view of the popular belief in the
danger 10 be feared from eating poison
GUS fish or from ptoma;nes contained
in fish, the conclusions arrived at by
food specialists under the United
States department of agriculture be-
come of interest. While there are sew
eral species of fish which are actually
poisonous, declare the experts, such
fish are mostly confined to tropical
waters and are seldom found in the
United States. Fish may contain par
asites, some of which are injurious to
man. These are, however, destroyed
by the thorough cooking to which fish
is usually subjected. The formation of
ptomaines quite generally accompanies
putrefaction, and therefore great care
should be taken to eat fish only when it
: is in perfectly good condition. Fish
which has been frozen and after thaw-
ing kept for time before it is cooked
is especially likely to contain injurious
ptomaines. Canned fish should never
be allowed to remain long in the can
after opening, but should be used at
once, on account of the possibility of
danger from the combined action of
the can contents and oxygen of the air
upon the lead of the solder or the can
itself.
Most psychologists regard fish as
particularly desirable food for persons
of sedentary habits, as it usually con-
tains less fat than is found in meat.
In digestibility it ranks with lamb.
The leaner fish, such as cod, paddock,
perch, pike, bluefish, etc. are more
readily digested than the fatter kinds,
such as trout, salmon, shad and mack
ereI.

the throat or chest is the old fashion

Apparatus That Makes the Process
Easy and How to Use 1t.
American Agriculturist describes a
scalding pan or vat made with ~ inch
boards and galvanized iron, using for
the sides two pieces of boards about
5 feet long and IA or 16 inches wide.
Have the lower corners slightly round
ed. Secure a piece of galvanized iron
% to 80 inches wide and ~ or 8 feet
long. Nail the iron to the bottom of
the boards, allowing it to extend
around each end to the top.
To use this dig a trench in the
ground a little narrower than the pan,
2 or 8 feet longer and Is or 20 inches
deep. Set the pan over this trench,
bank up on the sides with soil and put
in about six inches of water, build n
fire under one end and allow the water
to heat. At one side of the vat build
a platform for scraping the hogs. Have
a couple of pins near the top of the
pan. over which put the ring of two
trace chains Put the hog on the plat
form. Have one man take hold Of
both chains on the opposite side of the
VAT. Roll the hog into the chain hold
or. letting it down into the water grad
ually. Standing astride the pan, each
taking hold of the ends of one chain.
two men will easily turn and scald a

adding more fuel or by adding cold
water when it is too hot. The trace
chains should be close enough together
to mass in front of the hind legs and
lust back of the front legs. When the
hog is scalded, be can be returned to
the platform by replacing the rings of
the chain on the pins and lifting ON the
free end.

Sir Henry Twins prodigality to
ward servants was well illustrated
some years ago when he was at Bluff
Point, Lake Champlain. He gave the
driver of the break which daily ran tt
Au Sable Chasm $50 in two weeks and
feed the other servants with like reck
lessness. The guests of the hotel grew
very indignant, because there was nc
getting along with the employees, who
almost literally fought among them
selves to minister to the needs of the
English actor and sadly neglected the

Good Things to Know,

We notice in an old journal the fol-
lowing words:
"A few raw eggs mixed with the food
about once week will check any tend
ency to looseness of the bowels"
This is a simple remedy if it will do
the work. and it is so very easy of trial,
for it is pleasant in the mixed food and
always at hand for use.
We doubt very much the propriety of
continually giving our fowls some kind
of powders or nostrums to stimulate
them unnaturally For this reason we
select and publish the above as good,
simple remedy that all can try. with
full assurance of no injury coming by
its use.

BEET SUGAR AND THE TRUST

1t has been clearly foreseen for some
time that when the time arrived that
the product of the beet sugar factories
of this country reached sufficiently
large amount, so that it would seek a
market outside that offered by the SUI
gar trust, there would be trouble in the
sugar camp. That time has now ar
rived, and the trust is after the home
producers of sugar. The general pub
lie has very lively interest in the
probable controversy.

The beet sugar industry in Michigan
is making more rapid strides than in
any other section of the country. This
year over $1,000 acres of beets are 60

factories will require 5000 acres each,

bered that it will take 100000 acres Of
beets to supply enough sugar to furnish

industry is far from being overdone.

BREEDING UP ALFALFA.

Better Varieties to Be Obtained by
Selection and other Means.
Most farmers and even alfalfa grow
ers, if asked whether there is more
than one kind of alfalfa, would say,
mo; it seems to be all alike" A Cali
fornia grower, however, takes differ
ent view, believing that it is possible to
breed up a better variety. His theory,
expressed in Orange Judd Farmer, is:
Where there is a thick stand the
stalks are all forced upright and min
gle together, so that the characters
tics of each cannot be seen, but if you
will carefully examine field where the
plants are very thinly set and therefore
have an opportunity to show the diff
ferences in their nature by their style
of growth you will see that they are
very far from being all alike. Some will
be lying so fiat on the ground that it
would be impossible to cut them with a
mower, while others grow so upright
that they look as if they had been tied
to a stake. Then, again, the leaves on
some plants are small and narrow,
while those in others are large and
round, and since the leaves are the best
part of the plant this is of very great
importance. If you will look at such a
field q week or two after cutting, you
will see that some plants are only just
beginning to grow, while others have
already attained height of six or eight
inches.
In the blossoms similar variations oc-
cur. On some plants they are almost
white, while on others they are of a
deep purple. Now, contend that where
nature has already made so many vari-
ations man. by careful selection and
other means, may make even greater
and more important ones. This is
work which cannot be done by the
farmer, as he has neither the time, skill
nor the appliances to accomplish it, but
the experiment stations have all the ia
cilities, and l hope it will not be long
before some station will take hold of
the matter and succeed in giving us
better variety of alfalfa than we are at
present cultivating. If only 100 or 200
pounds of hay per acre at each cutting
could be added to the crop by such i'm
provement, it would add millions of dol
lars annually to the income of alfalfa
growers.
