Food Value of Nuts.

The following as to the value of
nuts for food, is from the pen of DR..
Wiley:
1t is quite certain that NUTS were
among the first foods Of primitive man.
IN tact, II we accept the common doc
tr1ne OF scientific men that we are the
product Of evolution from lower forms
OF life, our remote ancestors, even
those Of the Simian type, must have
been nut eaters. Our taste for nuts,
therefore, may be excused aside from
their palatabi1ity, on the principle of
heredity says Dr.. H. W. Wiley.
In the last few years the chemist
has done much to throw light on the
food value of nuts by study Of their
chemical composition. This study has
revealed the fact that nuts in general
may be divided. into two great classes,
namely those in which the starch and
sugar factors prevail, Of which the
chestnut may be given as an example,
and second, those in which the oil
factor predominates Of this type the
peanut may be cited The peanut
however is hardly a nut in the com
.ifoii acceptance VI Tic WOlu, because
1t IS not grown upon tree but upon
a vine, the tendrlls of which, bearing
the germs Of the nuts, fall to- the
ground and burroW beneath the sur
face Of the soil. I will, therefore, take
a different type of nut as illustrative
Of this class, and the pecan is one
which is prominently presented Sew
enty-one per cent Of the edible portion
of the pecan is fat or oil. In the
fresh chestnut ~ per cent Of the edible
portion is carbohydrates. A sharp
contrast between the two classes is
brought out Among the distinctly
Starchy nuts not only the chestnut but
acorns Of all kinds may be cited. The
cocoanut is also another somewhat
starchy food, but the oil predominates
IN its constituents.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1907-05-08

10 give the COWS any unnecessary
travel. From the time they leave the
barn in May until they return in au-
tumn they receive no feed other than
grass. During the winter the grain
feed consists almost entirely Of oil
cake, feeding from two to four pounds
each day. The principal feed, how
ever, is hay, each COW receiving nearly
thirty pounds daily. The cows are put
in the stable in the fall and are not
let out again Until the following spring.
During this time they are given the
best Of care, scarcely an hour passes,
day Or night, that they are not visited
by an attendant They are watered,
fed and MIXED with the greatest reg
ularity aud given every comfort pos
sible
The Dutch owe their success in no
small degree in establishing so fine a
breed Of dairy cattle, to the careful
selection OF their breeding stock.
Only few Of the choicest bulls are
kept for sire, and the greatest care
is also exercised. in this matter.
A writer on the subject Of the COW
says: "Of all the animal friends Of
man the COW is the greatest. I wish
that as you are abort to sit down to
your Sunday dinner I might take from
your table what she had placed there
on. would remove the cup of milk
waiting at the baby's chair, I'd take
the cream, the cheese, the butter, the
cuStard pie, the cream biscuit, the
roast Of beef and leave you a meal
OF potatoes, beets, pickles and tooth
picks. Every scrap Of her from nose
to tail, is used by man. We use her
horns to comb our hair, her skin upon
our feet, her hair keeps the plaster
on Our walls, her hoofs make glue
and her tail makes soup. Her blood
is used to make Our sugar white, her
bones are ground to fertilize our soil.
She has gone with man from Ply
mouth Rock to the setting sun. It
was her sons that turned the sod in
the settlers clearing; it was her sons
that drew the prairie schooner for the
sturdy pioneers, while she followed.
And when the days march was done
she came and gave the milk to fill
the mothers breast to feed the suck
ling babe that was perchance to be-
come the ruler Of his country.''
