TO LABEL FOODsTUFFS.

DIR. Wiley has at last spoken, and
the announcement he makes lifts a
load from the minds of an anxious,
waiting nation. Foods preserved by
means of borax and boracic acid are
not deadly poisons. There are still
some things-some kinds of food that
may be eaten with impunity and a
fork. The German chemists who
stood like stone wall at the sea shore
and kept out American meats pre-
served as aforesaid were, according to
DR.. Wiley. acting without sufficient
warrant, either in science Or expert
ence.
just how much OF the particular
kind of food DIR. Wiley would advise
the helpless citizen to eat at present
can not be definitely stated because
the doctor himself is silent on this
point He probably is satisfied that
the stuff may safely be used with due
moderation, but it is doubtful if he
would countenance an Incorporate in-
diligence. For instance if a friend
should say to him, .Doc.. about this
time OF day small ham preserved in
boracic acid ought to taste good; what
do you sayp" the doctor would doubt
less reply: I'll go you just one.'
But If dozen friends should surround
him and insist on his filling himself
with borax cured ham until his eyes
bulged out and he could not tell the
time of day he would probably draw
the line right there out of respect for
the feelings of Mrs. Wiley.
Having settled the harmlessness of
the kind of food referred to, DR.. Wiley
goes further and suggests that all
kinds OF food. dairy products, pre-
servedssmea's and manufactured articles
of diet should be plainly labeled so
that the purchaser may know what he
IS aDOnI TO eat. IN GnlS ne is sup
ported by Representative H. G. Adams
of the second Wisconsin district, who
for years has made food a subject of
study. Mr.. Adams. of course, does
not pretend to know much about borax,
or meats preserved ia boracic acid. but
he knows all about butter. cheese,
baking powder, and articles of general
consumption that are sometimes adul-
terated. He learned about such things
while he was dairy ard food commits
sioner. He at one time owned and
operated an appetite-but that is an
other story.
The eye of the prophet can plainly
see a blush On the eastern horizon
which heralds the coming of the day
when the Wiley-Adams proposition
will become statute law and when a
printed label upon every package of
food OF whatever nature will give de-
tailed chemical analysis OF the article.

AS to the real cause of the useful
ness of molasses in cattle feeding.
authorities are still at variance. They
all admit it's great value for this pur-
pose, but they advance different the
cries underlying the facts
The experimenters, Ramm and
Momsen, opine that in all probability
the favorable influence is due to the
albIminous matter contained in it..
But it is also possible that some COM
bination of vegetable acids and salts,
inherent in molasses, has slch favor
able influence.
DR.. Hoppe states experimentally the
value of molasses, for cattle, but as
cribes it less to the direct nutritive in
fuence Of non sugar matters in molas-
ses than to the quite peculiar action on
lactatiOn or milk formation of the
starchy matters.
The chemist, DR.. Gerlarch, TO the
contrary. denies all influence on al
luminous functions of heterogeneous and
according to him, the effected stated
among others, by DR.. Ramm, is pul ely
physioiogic, due either to dietic prop
critics or an appetizing influence.
Prof. DR.. Kellner, in the course of
his experiments on cattle and sheep,
recognized that more than half Of the
heterogeneous matter and nearly nine
tenths of the hydrocarbon non-sugar
matters in molasses are used ia diges-
ton, but he does not express himself
on the value he assigns TO them from a
pratical standpoint.
Vandevene, in his brochure, "Mo-
lasses as Foodstuffs for Cattle" sums
up briefly the diverse opinions of
writer's on this subject in this way:
1.-The determination of the value of
these matters constitutes a problem
that future scientific research cannot
fail to solve. The opinion of num-
erous authors, according to which the
sugar only is considered as the nutri-
tive element, is hereby condradicted
and will cease to prevail On the
other hard, practical agriculturists,
nearly all good observers, unite in say
ing that either sugar has more
powerful influence on nutrition than
generally assigned to it, or else valu-
able elements exist in molasses which
SO far we do not know Or do not count.
