aunIItx Of Grnsn SEED.

The Maine law regulating the sale OF
agricultural seeds requires that grass
seed shall be sold under a guarantee as
to purity. Bulletin 13S of the Maine
agricultural experiment station, which,
doubtless, many of your readers have
received, gives analysis of the seeds
which were collected by the inspector
and those sent TO the experiment sta
tion by correspondence in 1906. The
dealers are very generally conforming
to the law and the purity of most seeds
is now guaranteed. The question nat
urally arises in the mind of a farmer,
should seed be strictly pure, and, if
not, how nearly pure should it be?
The purity of seeds varies greatly
with their kind. 1t is possible to grow
timothy seed so clean that 1t shall car
ry practically no foreign weed Seeds
1t is not as easy to grow any of the
other grasses or clovers so clean. There
is no need for the sower to ever buy
timothy seed that is much less than
995 per cent pure. Samples have been
examined by the station the present
year which contained not single for
eign harmful seed.
The best red clover seed will fire.
quently carry as much as / per cent
of foreign matter, although these i'm
purities are usually comparatively
harmless. 1t is, however, Door policy
for the sower to buy a red-clover seed
that is less than 9S per cent pure. The
best grades Of alsike clover will run
about $50 per cent pure on the average.
1t is doubtful if the purchaser should
buy an alsike whose purity is less than
97.5 per cent.
Redtop is the most difficult seed of
all. 1t will, Of course, contain more
or less chaff. 1t is difficult to grow red
top free from timothy, and the seed
cleaners find it difficult to separate tim
othy seed from redtop after it has once
been introduced. Samples of redtop
carrying as high as II or even 10 per
cent Of timothy are not unusual. If
one could be sure that the impurities
were harmless like chaff and timothy
it might be safe to buy a redtop even
as low as 50 per cent pure. Unless one
is assured of the character of the i'm
purities, it is unwise to buy a redtop
less than 90 per cent pure.

An English journal, The Lancet, in
discussing the comparative food value
Of roast beef and turkey, says that it
may be said that, weight for weight,
! the flesh of the turkey is more nOurish-
ing than that Of beef; but the latter is,
generally speaking, cheaper than the
former. The moisture in beef, how
ever, exceeds the amount present in
the flesh of the turkey, and the latter
contains a better percentage of proteid
or tleSh-forming substance. In either
case the percentage of moisture is sell
dom less than 20 per cent.
In lean beef the amount of fat is
much the same as in a not too well-fed
turkey but it must be pointed out that
the flesh of poultry differs from that
Of beef and mutton in not having its
muscular fibers permeated by fat, and,
moreover, the fbers in the flesh of the
fowl are short and rarely yield to the
dislntegrating action of the digestive
processes. A large amount Of fat in
either case is apt to interfere with the
dlgestibility of the meat. The fat of
beef is more digestible than the fat of
the turkey, The fat of birds, in fact,
is harder, and owing to its tendency to
become rancid, is unsuitable ior the
dyspeptic patient.
The Lancet believes that the most
important difference from a dletetic
point of view between beef and turkey
is that whereas beef contains high
percentage of extractive matters, tur-
key contains hardly any at ALL The ex-
tractive matters in beef account largely
for its peculiar and marked flavor, and
owing to their absence in poultry gen.
orally, and In the pheasant and part
ridge, the flavor of these meats is deli
cate, But there is no doubt that the
extractiveS of beef, as well as mutton,
are valuable, for not only are they
havoring agents. but they also act as
perhaps the most powerful stimulant
TO gastric digestion.
