FOOD , AND HOW TO SAVE DAIRY FARMS AND WINTER IT . By E. I. SPRIGGS , M.D. , F.R.C.P. ( Written at the request of the Food Controller ) X. FISH . In these days everyone should buy fresh fish so far as means allow . It is a valuable and digestible substitute for meat and eggs , and , as it will not keep , is wasted if not used directly it is offered for sale . There is always less fresh fish at this time of year , quite apart from war conditions , because fish leave their feeding grounds in the spring , and do not return till June or later . In the course of a few weeks it may be expected that the catches will im- prove and the present high cost become lower . Fish , like meat , is nearly all protein and water , with a variable amount of fat . The most nourishing fish are those which contam the most fat , namely , the salmon and turbot . Next come the herring and mackerel . The hake , cand haddock come last , containing less than 1 per cent . of fat . A German ! How obvious they were ! Was it true that each of them had his station assigned in case of that terrible calamity , a war between Great Britiain and Germany ? Charteris , knowing the capacity , the genius for detail , which characterises the German and is paramount in every department of that country , had little doubt that the popular idea was correct . In all probability , a few hours- a few days at most would resolve all doubts . A revolving light showed the locality of a sand - bank about a mile and a - half from the shore . He found himself trying to count the seconds between the revolutions of light . This message had been flashed over the seas for certainly a hundred years , probably longer ; it had played its part in calm moments like the present , biding its time ; it had flashed its the trough of the North Sea . Men might warning when winds blew and storms beat in come and men might go , Governments rise and fall , new inventions alter the whole trend of commerce and civilisation , but the forces of nature remain to be dealt with , to stimulate bone . the ingenuity of man . and as long as these conditions obtain that light would be indispens- able.- These thoughts were in Charteris's mind when he noticed an object in the sky at a considerable distance up , shown partly by the brightness of the light , partly by the clear but inefficient illumination of the moon . At The food value of an ounce of lean beef , 50 to 60 calories , is given by an ounce of salmon or turbot , or an ounce and a half of herring haddock . As sources of the body building pro- or mackerel , or three ounces of cod , hake or as more expensive kinds , for the flesh of all tein , however , the last named are just as good fish contains nearly as much protein as meat . for the waste in buying . With joints of meat In comparing the two , reckoning must be made the proportion of bone is not on the average more than a quarter of the whole . With fish , nearly half the weight . When this is allowed the head , bones , fins and skin often come to for it is found that the protein contained in 1 lb. of meat is got by buying 1 lbs . of fish . which fish give the best value for money at The following table is drawn up to show portion of waste was ascertained . In the prices named . In these purchases the pro- cases , as the table mentions , the fish were bought already skinned and headed , and n these the only waste to the buyer was the cost of the eatable part of the fish , and the The third column shows the estimated last column the food value obtained shilling .

The grave shortage of feeding stuff's for live stock , which was revealed in its full extent by the letter of the President of the Board of . Ag- riculture published last week , will make each farmer think seriously how he can best meet the emergency . and a half tons less concentrated feeding stuff's As there will be a million that is , corn meal and cake - this year than usual , the situation is indeed critical . The farmer's job is perhaps most difficult on grass dairy farms , which have little or no able land . to rely for winter keep on home grown meadow Such farms have been accustomed hay , and purchased concentrated foods . There are only two possible methods of increasing the home - grown supplies , firstly , to make as much and as good hay as possible , and sec- ondly , to replace some of the hay by otlier home - grown crops which have more value for milk production . Under the first head we are met by the diffi- culty that an increase in the area laid up for hay means less pasture for spring and summer use . The cow cannot both eat her grass and have it . Yet , even in this direction , something may be done . By laying up as much land as is possible for hay , and cutting it early , the the cows can be moved . Hay is often cut too after - math will give good pasture on to which the feeding value of the grass runs into seed , late . As soon as seed begins to form much of which may fall out before the animal eats it , ing value of grass is actually improved by and be lost . Thus it happens that the feed- early cutting .

Balsley had asked for an orange , and as there was none at the hospital Chapman went out in his aeroplane to gratify the desire of his comrade . While on his way he engaged in an air battle with the late Captain Boelke and was killed , his body falling in the German lines .

For example , Bracken fronds grow from an underground root or stem , and only by killing this " root " outright can the land be freed from bracken . It can be killed by deep ploughing . but this is usually out of the question in places where bracken is most troublesome . Then next best course is graoually to weaken the underground root by destroying the fronds it sends up , in one of the three ways . ( 1 ) By breaking off the young shoots before the fern opens out . This must be done three or four times each season for two or three years in succession . It can be carried out with a chain harrow or light roller , or by getting women and children to knock off the young shoots with long sickle or crooked sticks .
