SNAIL A VALUABLE FOOD
Edible and Nutritious, Is the Verdict
That Has Been Arrived At by
Those Who Know.

"AIl snails are edible aud nutri'
tious," says Canon Horsley in book
on British land and fresh water mol,
luscs. just published. He goes on to
say that even the common or garden
snail, though insipid. is as nourishing
as calf's-foot jelly.
There is q large white shelled snail
called Helix pomatia that Is commonly
eaten by connoisseurs in the south OF
England, while all over France. Italy
and Spain several species are used as
food. In France there are many snail
farms. which yield good profit to
their owners. In the French and TIA
liam quarters OF New York snails may
be bought, either alive or cooked, and
at most Of the French restaurants
they are served. "escargots farcis" be
ing the most usual form of the dish.
Snails are easy to raise In large
quantities. They need lime for max
ing their shells. but they do not have
to be fed. as they can find their own
food, which Is exclusively the leaves
OF many plants. They are most deli
cious when properly prepared and
cooked and, as Canon Horsley says
as nourishing as calf's-foot Jelly.
