DISCARD ALL SPOILED FOOD

It is an extraordinary fact that
there are still many persons in this
country who undertake to salvage
canned food, which they know to be
spoiled. by making it into salads and
such dishes.

quent in the United States apparent
~ no case has eyer occurred in Great
Britain)."
The canned vegetables to blame are
almost always those put up at home,
and have generally been treated with
out boiling, although boiling does not
always kill the putrefactive germs
that cause the trouble.
When canned foods spoil they are
not even to be tasted, for a minute
quantity is sufficient to cause death.
Nor should domestic animals be per-
mitted to eat them. There would seem
to be no occasion for any one to meet
this quick but terrible death, for spoil
ed canned vegetables always smell
nasty, and the vile odor ought to be
warning enough for anybody.

Here his talent began to show full
scope, and in 184S he completed tho

come famous the world over as the
Corliss engine. BY the invention

The advantage Of distributing calves

the low initial cost of the animal and
the fact that its keeping involves less

desirable, as interest Of the club men,
