Rich, juicy beef is the product of breed anu feed. If a good breed is ob- tained, a good system of feeding then becomes essential for the highest perfee- tion of meat. There is such a thing as flavoring beef by feeding it,and breeders could make a distinct and noble depar¬ ture in this line. Feeding in this way is not simply to give the animals any¬ thing but that they can convert into flesh, only the food that will add to the beef certain flavors and richness which will make the meat desirable. It is the wild celery which makes the delicious flavor of the meat of the canvas-back duck. Chestnuts and other nuts make turkeys and chickens pro¬ duce meat of a superior flavor, and it is now demonstrated beyond a doubt that clover-made pork is far preferable to that made entirely from corn. In many other ways every article of food flavors the meat, making it better or worse for having entered the system of the animal or bird. Just previous to slaughter, beef takes its flavor directly from the food given to the animal, and the correct method of feeding is to give the cattle only such foods as will make the meat sweet, juicy and aromatic. A really choice article in beef, as well as in any other food, will be eagerly sought after and paid for at fancy prices. is But the feeding for flavor not con¬ fined entirely to cattle. The same truth holds among the swine, poultry and other animals. Successful dairymen are very careful in feeding their cows, because they know that the food will directly af- feet the milk. Rich, juicy grass pro- duces the tine June butter and cream, which is very different from tbe butter made from the dry, coarse fodder of the winter. It is important that all who raise meat for market should take a les- son from the dairymen, and then try to adopt similar methods iu their feeding. Vary the diet, and feed for bone, muscle and fat, but also feed for flavor, Even tender meat that has no juice or flavor is not very desirable. The French produce for market the finest poultry in the world, and they have succeeded in studying the question in this respect better than any other farmers. The meat of their poultry ex¬ cels, and is of a remarkable flavor. They do it by feeding the fattening birds with cloves and spices, which become mixed in the meat so that there is a de¬ licious aroma from it all of the time. So excellent are their methods in fattening poultry that farmers of other countries adopt their rules. Feeding for flavor is thus founded up¬ on a law of nature which should not be overlooked, There is a wide field for investigation and experiment. The im¬ provement of poultry, swine and cattle flesh is annually becoming more essen¬ tial, and those who lead in this respect are sure to reap the profits.—Boston Cultivator. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Do not dog the cows. Do not frighten the sheep. Look out for the gentle bull. Do not keep the hogs in a filthy pen. Pruning should not be done after blossom time. Oil meal will “fat” up the skim mi^k for the calces. There is no such a thing as a moth¬ proof beehive. A wet fleece is not comfortable even in hot weather. Eight is the proper number of frames in any bee brood chamber. Clipping the wings of a queen bee does not injure her usefulness, but is the mutilation necessary ?

Where Perfume Oils Come From. “The American made perfumes______ are ex aetly as good in quality as the French,” says a druggist. • 4 The popular impres¬ sion that many of our best extracts for the handkerchief and t diet bearing the names of sweet flowers are simply chemical imi¬ tations of the genuine odors is entirely wrong. The fact is that genuine oils of flowers, of which all pure American per fumes are made, are imported, principally irom France, and genuine musk and am- bergris, the two most important and val¬ ued bases for lino perfumes, must be ob¬ tained in other countries. Svhile the best American made perfumes are equal in quality could to the finest Freuch preparations, nich not be the fact if we had not that country to depend upon for our es- seatial oils. The reason for this is that no entirely successful effort has been made here to raise flowers of sufficient richness and density of perfume to sup¬ ply essential oils in sufficient quantities them, to make it profitable to extract although it is held that the odorous blooms of some of the southern states, especially Florida and other gulf states, have the same bout l uet as the same flow - ers S rown ,n southern France, that great ?* rde Q of c° mm ercial odors.’’-New York . -' enin g U,K Fasting is Beneficial. “I have never felt any but good effects from my experiment,” said Dr. H.

Tanner, whose fast of forty days some years ago made him famous. “In fact, I am firmly convinced that if a nmn should fast for forty days every ten years in his life, there is no reason why he should not live to be a hundred years old. lie renews his youth every time he does it. The truth is that the American people are all digging their graves with their teeth, I am a strict vegetarian I eat but two meals a day and nothing at all after noon. Meat eating is expen- sive at t he best. You feed an animal ten pounds of grain to get a part of one pound of meat. It is like putting and ten good gold dollars in the bank then a year afterward giving the bank a receipt lor fifty cents.”—Chicago Inter-Ocean. Plenty Like Her.
