Something new every day" Is
cheerful proposition, but it is hardly to
be expected that science will discover
something new for us to eat when our
crops fall short or when our desires
cry for a greater variety. However, a
bit of interesting news comes from the
Pacific coast that we will now have a
new kind of beef" 1t is, in short, the
meat Of the whale after the blubber
has been cut away. Seems rather re-
pulsive at first, but little RETROSPECT
ton will recall the fact that we eat
tuna fish which was subject to the
same objection at first thought. 1t is
planned to send out a canning outfit
with each whaler, which will can the
meat ION the spot" thus insuring it
being packed fresh. A whale of aver
age size will yield about thirty thou
sand pounds of whale beef" SO that
it is estimated that the ship will bring
back $500 cases of product ready for
market. The industry was made neces-
sary by the decline in the price of
whale oil, which has fallen from $3.50
to So cents a gallon.

No Profit in Irish Sugar Beets.

While sugar beets can be success
fully grown in Ireland, writes Consul
Wesley Frost, from Queenstown, their
culture would probably not be profit
able, according to statement just
issued by the head of the department
of agriculture and technical instruc-
tion for Ireland The fact has been
established that d normal price for
sugar beets will yield less per acre
than the normal prices for potatoes
or mangels. AS the sugar beet indus
try would not be successful under the
ordinary conditions of peace, the de-
partment does not feel prepared to
take, directly or indirectly, any re-
sponsibility for advising Irish farmers
to grow beet root" 1t is added that
whatever may be the results of Eng
lands exclusion of sugar therefore, in
Scotland and England, it seems safe
to assume that sugar production will
not be developed in lreland.-New
York Times.
