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. KEEP . grass dairy farms , which have little or no ar- The farmer's job is perhaps most difficult on able land . Such farms have been accustomed to rely for winter keep on home grown meadow 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 other milk production . home - grown crops which have more value for The grave shortage of feeding stuffs 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 FISH farmer think seriously how he can best meet the emergency . In these days everyone should buy fresh fish and a half tons less concentrated feeding stuffs As there will be a million so far as means allow . It is a valuable and that is , corn meal and cake - this year than digestible substitute for meat and eggs , and , es usual , the situation is indeed critical . 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 protein and water , with a variable amount of fat . most nourishing fish are those which contain The the most fat , namely , the salmon and turbot . Next come the herring and mackerel . The hake , cod and haddock come last , containing A German ! How obvious less than 1 per cent . of fat . they Was it true that each of them had his station The food value of an ounce of lean beef , 50 assigned in case of that terrible calamity , a to 60 calories , is given by an ounce of salmon war between Great Britiain and Germany ? or turbot , or an ounce and a half of herring Charteris , knowing the capacity , the genius for haddock .

In all probability , a few hours In comparing the two , reckoning must be made fish contains nearly as much protein as meat . a few days at most would resolve all doubts . for the waste in buying .

At the Mansion House , Morris Stroll , a diamond merchant , carrying on business at Manchester , was fined to under the Aliens Restriction Order for not reporting his arrival in London . The defendant , a Russian , said the 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 late . As soon as seed begins to form much of the feeding value of the grass runs into seed , and be lost . Thus it happens that the feed- which may fall out before the animal eats it , ing value of grass is actually improved by early cutting .
