Green Gut Bone the Cheapest
Poultry Food.

The problem of finding a cheap
poultry food that will increase egg
production during the winter when
eggs are high has been solved by those
farmers who purchase Green Cut Bone
for their poultry. c. s. Page of Hyde

pounds annually of this article and is
this year selling it for So so per barrel
of 200 pounds. freight prepaid to buy

necessity for going without this staple
Poultry Food If you cannot use a
barrel yourself, get some of your
neighbors to join in with you. You
will find it a valuable egg producer.

Raw Mea: as a Food for Hens.

Those who are familiar with
Poultry know with what eagerness
they eat raw Meat of any
kind. This bahit indicates that raw
Meat is something their nature de-
mands. There ia perhaps no material
better adapted to the needs of fowls
especially in winter-than Green Cut
Bone and Meat ground together. It
is not only invioorating but it contains
in form easily assimilated the very
elements required for the making of
eggs. 1t will make hens lay when
everything else fails.

Bone and Meat for So so, freight pre-
paid to any point in New England or

PLACED IN THE STILL.
On arriving at the distilery, the lavender
which is gathered early in the day, with the
dew upon it if possible, is placed in the still By
this well-known apparatus the essential oils are
driven off with the steam, this being eventually
condensed. and the oil separated from the water
Some distillers bundle in the lavender as it
arrives stalks and ALL while others carefully re-
move the stalks and put in the flowers by them
selves. The latter method yields the finest oil.
If the stalks are put in, they yield a much rank
er product. This difficulty is surmounted how
ever by collecting the oil volatilized during the
first hour and half, separately. Oil given off
by the stems being less volatile can by this
means be collected Independently, this low grade,
ranker oil being utilized chiefly for perfuming
soap.
BOTTLING OIL.
The vapor containing the voatized oil is con-
densed in a long pipe of pure tin, the liquid being
run off into curious-shaped cans fitted with a
compartment at the top to retain the oil, while
through spout connected with the lower part,
the water also given off can be drained away.
The essential oil is next filtered, and then bot.
tied Freshly made, the oil has an herby odor.
In order to get rid of this unpleasant odor the

and other foreign matter. AT the expiration of
three months, this herby odor will be found to
have passed away. The bottles are then corked
and stored in the dark. The oil natures, and
continues to improve in quality for from three to
five years after, when it begins to deterorate,
and in some cases has to be redistilled.
LAVENDER ESSENCE" OF COMMERCE.
The Lavender essence" of commerce is a
solution of essential oil in spirits of wine, mixed
with musk, bergamot ambergrs, and other in
gradients known to the perfumer. Bergamot,
though largely used, is disfavored by many, as
it tends to discolor the essence.
Lavender water is a solution of lavender
oil and recti6ed spirit combined with rose
water.
The difference in the quality of the oil is very
striking, experts being even able to distinguish
between the oil distilled from different fields in
the same locality,

are manufactured in Piedmont and the south
of France from wild lavender, the quality
being much inferior to the home produce. Al
one time plants were exported from EnganC
and renstated in their former haunts, in thI
hope that they would retain their superiorit,
over the native lavender, but it was found thai
the excellence of the oil produced in EnglanC
was due entirely to the existing conditions o.
soil and circumstances.
So greatly, indeed, do the seasons affect tn
output, that is the case with wine of differ
ent vintages, favorable conditions create sucl
a marked improvement, that the oils are sold ac

boiled tongue when properly cooked.
- Here is an excellent recipe:
l&stWHAj Select tongue with as smooth skin
possible. Roughness denotes age.
Wash well, trimming off any surplus
fat, run strong twine through the tip of the
tongue and draw under so that it meets the root
then tie firmly in place.
If the tongue is smoked it must be soaked in
clear, cold water over night. Put the tongue in
kettle and if fresh one cover with boiling
water sated to taste. Let it cook five minutes
then skim thoroughly and push back where it
will boil gently, only bubbling one side of the
kettle. Rapid boiling means tongue toughened
instead of becoming tender. Nothing is gained
by quick cooking.
If the tongue is smoked it must be put in
cold water, brought slowly to the boiling point
ian hour is none too long,, then simmered three
and a half hours, until tender. After the water
in which the tongue is cooked has reached the
boiling point and has been skinned, add to it a
small red pepper, piece of onion a small bou-
quet of soup herbs, spice bag or its equivalent
in powdered sweet BASIL summer savory and
sweet marjoram, and in case of fresh tongue,
salt to season.
When at last the tongue is tender so that it is
easily pierced with fork, take from the fire and
let it cool in the liquor in which it has been
cooked. Do not peel until ready to use.
If you are to serve it whole glaze, wind paper
ruche around the root interspersed with sprigs
of parsley or white celery leaves. If it be sliced.
arrange in overlapping circles around platter,
pile watercress in the centre and garnsh with mas
turtium leaves and blossoms, or feathery carrot
tops, parsley or even lettuce.
Serve with Tartare sauce, which is simply
mayonnaise with little chopped pickle and olive
added. Smoked tongue is delicious served in an
aspic border but the fresh tongue is apt to prove
inspid with aspic.

attested by the fact that it is just as
~ much in vogue today as it was in the
tSEISyI days of our grandmothers despite the
great variety of possible substitutes
offered in the way of sweet smelling
concoctions and compounds. In everyt large city
and in many small ones the lavender man is seen
standing on the streets, and while it cannot be
asserted that he is besieged at all times with
purchasers for his wares it is true that he makes
out well enough to take up his stand day after
day. which would seem to indicate that he IS
satisfied with the aggregate of his business trans
actions. At the extract counter lavender is al
,vavs one of the favortes and is called for re-
reatedlv in one or the other of its several forms
The English lavender is regarded as the best,
and. strange to say, the plant is not indigenous
TO the soil of Great Britain, but brought
from the South of Europe. 1t has however,
been cultivated for commercial purposes since
obout 1920 and great tracts of land are now
given up to the growth of the lavender crop.
FIELDS OF PURPLE FLOWERS.
Around Mitcham and Carshalton, in England,
MANY areas are devoted to the cultivation OF
lavender, and here in the summer may b, seen
fields and fields of purple flowers waving in the
breeze awaiting the sickle of the reaper, the har-
vest being gathered with the oldfashioned reap
ing instrument of our forefathers
Lavender is not raised from seeds in that coun-
try, as the seed does not mature. When a
fresh field is to be laid down, slips from existing
plants are set in October. These, when they
have rooted, are carefully clipped in the spring
and early summer.
The slips are planted in rows four feet apart
three feet being allowed between each plant
about three thousand five hundred going to an
acre of land. Sufficient space is thus left around
each plant to insure full exposure to the wind
and sun.
The plants are at their best in their fourth
year. After this time the field in which they
were grown is ploughed up and set with potatoes
or some other crop.
THE LAVENDER HARVEST.
From about the middle of August to the be
ginning of September the lavender fields are in
full bloom, and the harvest can be seen in
progress. In order to protect the flowers during
the carting operation, large reed mats are spread
out in the fields and the reaper who gathers the
crop with his sharp sickle, lays the lavender
upon these mats, which are tied up when full
and taken direct to the stills.
The blooms are borne upon the terminal spike
of a long stalk, both coraa and calyx being GOV
cred with minute hairs, among which are embed
ded the shining oil glands to which the frag
rance is due About half a hundred-weight o
lavender is placed in each mat the subsequen
yield of which will be fourteen to sixteen ounce
of essential oil. The yield however, varies rhucl
in quantity and quality, After wet season
the yield OF oil will be half that obtained dur

Men Outnumber Women

In most of the British colonies the men outnum-
Der the women very considerably. In Wesetrn
Australia, for example taking the immigrant
population, there $4,000 males, and only
$4,000 females. Queensland has SO men to
every A women, the Transvaal 80 men to every
As women, and the Orange River Colony "a men
to every 46 women, These figures refer to
whites.
Turning to marriage and to all races, the uni
versalty of marriage in India is srildngly brought
out by the statistics. OF every 1000 females
aged fifteen and upwards, there are unmarried:
In Ireland ...'..'.'''''..... ADJ
In Scotland ..................4 .445
In England and Wales ..,.. 1895
In Western Australia ....... 1898
In India ,,',;;I;.;;::'''''.'' 40
The contrast is very striking, even when al
lowing for the earlier age at which the natives
of India marry.
One fact of interest is that ireland is the
country of old men and women. Out of every
1000 of the population of that country there
are GA men and 6S women sxty-6ve years OF
age and upwards.
