Skim Milk for Fish.


The proprietor of a creamery In
Kansas has a fish pond near his cream.
cry and he has noticed that the fish
seem to be very fond Of curd. He, there
fore, inquiries whether it would be
more profitable to feed this curd to
fish, which are worth 10 cents per
pound, or to feed it to calves and pigs.
We are not aware Of any specific ex-
periments having been made to deter
mine this question, but as an original
proposition, we should be inclined to
the opinion that the curd could not
be put to any more profitable use than
feeding it to the fish. OF course,
there should be some care exercised
and a very close watch kept to ascer.
tain whether this could be used as a
sole diet, or whether the health of the
fish demanded something in addition.
There is n reason to suppose that the
curd would give any unpleasant re-
suits in the matter of favor or tex
ture. We can readily understand, how
ever, that it should never be fed in
greater amounts than the fish would
consume readily, As otherwise the sur.
plus OF refuse might decay and render

says a bulletin of the Rhode Island
Experiment Station: Salt to the depth
of two inches was placed in the stone
jar, and on May 10, 1899, twenty Leg:
horn eggs, laid during the i've days
May 1T, to 10th, were placed in the
jar, small ends down, not touching
each other, and closely packed. in the
salt. The jar remained untouched in
the cellar closet to the end of the
test. Result: Good, 0 per cent;
bad, 100 per cent. On April 4, 1900,
these eggs were examined and their
contents had somewhat shrunken, the
air cells beirg greatly enlarged. The
whites were orange tinted in some
cases and slightly darkened in others.
Several used as dropped eggs haa a
rather fiat taste. The whites of sew
eral subjected to the egg beaten
frothed up nearly as we'll as the
whites of fresh eggs. Both the whites
and the yolks of these eggs had a
taste similar to that of smoked her.

to have kept well. For preserving
eggs for a few months, however, this
method may be recommended. 1t is
