AMERICAN CAVIAR.

The use of the roe of salmon ana
other American fish for the making
of American caviar is growing rap
idlv and as a result what at one time
was a very serious waste mas Deeh
turned into an excellent and valuable
food. The principal difference be-
tween this caviar and the Russian
caviar is. that the Russian article Is
made principally out OF sturgeon roe
while excellent American caviar Is
made from salmon roe, white hsh
roe and the roes of other fish that
are handled on large commercial
scale as well as from sturgeon roe
This caviar is made in the same man
nor as the Russian caviar. The roe
Of the fish is pressed through screens
which allow the eggs to pass. but hold
hack all the membrane and the egg
sacks. These eggs are then packed VI
\ large quantity of salt which draws
como Of the water and other sub
scances from them. They are theh
canned or boxed and put on the mar
| ket.
American caviar, the specialists OF
the department of agriculture advise
should be sold for just what 1t Is aho
labeled to show the name OF the nsh
from which the roe is taken. Tor eX
annie American caviar from the ia
cific salmon should be labeled Sam

There is one other prophecy which
since ancient times no woman OF III
