SHOOTING A BUTTERFLY.

Gigantic Species Discovered by a
Naturalist in New Guinea.
The largest butterfly known is
found only in British New Guinea and
specimens are worth anything from
500 upward. The male measures s
inches across the wings and the fe-
male not less than II inches, a wing
spread exceeding that of many small
birds. s
The story of the first discovery of
this gigantic butterfly is a curious one.

Food Value of Fish
Extensive Use Recommended BY
Department Of Agriculture

Further evidence that fish deserves
place in every diet was obtained
from a recent series of digestion expert
ments in the United States depart
ment of agriculture. These tests fur
nished scientific proof that fish, which
has always been reckoned as q val
liable food, is very completely util-
lied in the body.
In the experiments Boston mackerel,
butterfsh, salmon and grayfsh-a va
riety not generally used in this COun-
try-were made into fish lOaves" and
served as a basis Of simple mixed
diet to young men of healthy appe-
tiles
Both the protein and the fat Of the
fish were we'll utilized. Following are
the percentages of protein digested:
Boston mackerel, 93.1 per cent: but
terfish. 919 per cent; graytish, 92.S
per cent; and salmon, 93.2 per cent.
The percentages Of fat digested were
found to be: Boston mackerel, 9o.2
per cent; butterfish, 1914 per cent;
grayfsh, 94.3 per cent; salmon, 93.7
per cent
In addition to the fish loaf, the diet
included potatoes, crackers, fruit. Sd
gar, and tea or coffee. On the aver
age the subjects each day ate 44O
grams Of Boston mackerel, All grams
of buttertish. 40 grams of grayfish, or
$50 grams Of salmon. indicating that
in every case the fish was eaten with
relish.
The department recently has con-
cluded an investigation Of the COM
mercial freezing and storing Of fish,
and a bulletin on that subject says
that this method of preserving fish will
hold them for many months in the con-
dition in which they were received, but
will not counteract deterioration due
to previous heating or mishandling.
Chemical analysis shows no significant
changes In frozen fish held for q
months-much longer than would be
necessary or profitable In storing fish
commercially.

POULTRY CONVERT
WASTE INTO FOOD

(9y the United States Department OF
Agricultureo
The central thought to be borne In
mind in considering the growing of
more poultry as a war necessity Is the
fact that the keeping of poultry is a
means of converting into good food
materials that cannot be utilized by
man, that cannot be eaten by any 9th
er kinds of stock. and that. without
the poultry, would be absolute waste.
Very clearly. it becomes a national rs
well as an individual duty to keep
enough poultry to take up all such
waste materials. AS long as fowls
take the bulk of their feed from such
sources and require to be fed on grain
or other garnered feeds only as fin
fishing process, additional food Is being
created.
Careful planning must be done, Of
course, to insure the utilization of as
many kinds of waste materials as pos
Sible and to avoid OverStOCking with
any one kind of poultry that would not
be fully fed from the particular kinds
Of waste which 1t eats and would,
therefore, require to be largely fed
from garnered materials.
Chickens, in any general scheme Of
poultry production. of course, must
take first place. They are best adapt
ed to genera. conditions, take wide
range of feeds and convert them, per-
hapS, with the greatest margin Of
prOSt. Chickens, better than any 9th
er class of poultry. utilize table scraps
and the general run of waste from the
kitchen door, all the way from apple
and potato parings to sour milk. Chick
ems far surpaSs all other kinds of pOul-
try in salvaging waste grain from the
stables, from the shed or lot where the
cattle are fed. and from hog pens. Dur
ing the winter months on farms where
any considerable number of live stock
are kept, the 100 hens suggested
would make their living from these
sources with only slight additional
feeding from time to time. Chickens
are great destrO.ers of insects, includ-
ing many injuriAss forms, in yard. pas
ture. end orchard. They utilize also,
many grasses and weeds, and seeds
from the same, that would otherwise
be Of no use. Except in isolated in
stances, the part Of wisdom would be,
undoubtedly, to keep more chickens
than all other kinds Of poultry COM
bined, but there should be- In ma
jority of cases, some of all the other
common kinds of poultry.

Cherry Time,

Cherries. like other small fruits. may
he canned without cooking. Crush
the fruit well and mix with equal parts
of sugar; stir until the sugar is
we'll dissolved before canning. Care
should be taken that the Jars are
sterilized, and that they are perfectly
sealed; then keep in a cold place.
A few preserved cherries to use as a
garnish for various dishes are quite
an addition to the fruit closet. When
canning cherries, If a kernel or two
Of the pits are added to each jar, the
flavor Of almond, which is most deli
cate, is given to the fruit.
The Royal Ann, which is a sweet,
juicy cherry, makes q most delicious
salad. Sprinkle the cherries, after
pitting them, with a little lemon juice
and sugar. Served in fruit bowl,
garnished with cherry leaves, one has
a most refreshing breakfast dish.
A pretty garnish for cherry jelly or
other desserts is the fresh cherry left
in punches with the stems on, dipped
In powdered sugar. Arrange around
the jelly or nodded dessert.

Bread From Cotton Seed;
Provides Salad Dressing
and a Butter Substitute.

The cotton plant, upon which the
world depends so largely for clothing,
Is rapidly increasing In Importance
as food producer. OIL from the cot
ton seed. formerly almost monopolized
by makers Of high grade soap, now
appears upon the table in the form of
palatable salad dressing and also as
lard and butter substitutes More re-
Gently the seed has been made to yield
a flour from which bread pleasing to
the taste and as nourishing as lean
beefsteak is baked. A bakery In a
Southern city Is selling 400 loaves Of
it q week.
The annual value Of cotton seed
products is placed at S25O,OOOOO0. one
half the output being used for food.
Farmers are now receiving $40 to $50
a ton for the seed, as compared to
Sc or 81 a quarter Of a century ago.
The yearly crop is about 100000
tons, q great asset to the consumer
at this time Of extreme high prices
for pure lard and dairy products.

City Boys Keener of Ear
Than Are Country Fellows

English army doctors, finding city
boys keener of ear than country boys,
adopt the theory that the quietude Of
rural districts explains the difference,
says the New York World. Urban
noises, they argue, keep the aural
nerves In a state constantly respon-
sive. Looking across seas, these sa-
wants may discover that the keeneSt
human ear ever known. those of the
Indians and the frontiersmen. have
been developed in the silences Of
American forests and prairies. It
seems probable that hearing. like
many another faculty, depends for its
active strength upon the exercise due
to necessity. 1t is need. rather than
noise, which keeps listeners nerves
on the alert.
