NATURE SHORT ON PROTEIN
Clover aiiil Legumes Highly Favored
In Absorption of Food Freni
the Atmosphere.
A. B. O.—Dear Sir: In my last letter
1 wrote you about the carbohydrates,
the functions which they fill iu the ani
mal economy, and gave you some of
the reasons for their abundance and
cheapness. 1 also indicated some of the
uses of protein and what an important
past of our bodies it was, also that it
was costly material compared with the
carbohydrates and promised to give you
some of the reasons why it was more
costly. Nature can afford to be gener
ous aud eveu lavish with the carbohy
urates, because she is saving aud even
stingy with the water and carbonic
acid which enter into their composition;
not a pound of either does she allow to
go to waste. Apparently, She is very
prodigal with both, but iu reality not.
The floodgates of Heaven open and pour
out millions of gailons of water in
places where it is needed, and also in
places where it is not needed, but every
drop which is not absorbed and used by
the thirsty earth runs back into the sea
ready to be distilled again aud again
from its surface by the heat of the sun
and used over again and again, and the
same with carbonic acid gas, as I illus
trated to you in my last letter.
That is the highest sort of economy,
which uses its raw materials over and
over again without their ever wearing
out. But iu the case of protein Mother
Nature is not so generous as with carbo
hydrates. Indeed, She is stingy’ and nig
gardly, and why? Because She is waste
ful of her raw material. Nitrogen is the
essential element in the raw material out
of which protein is built. Like carbonic
acid, nitrogen is also a gas, colorless
aud invisible. It constitutes in round
numbers four-fifths, or 80 per cent of
the atmosphere. We inhale it iu every
bn-.1 th, but it has no < tl-et upon us
whatever, merely serving to dilute the
oxygen, which supports our life and
which constitutes the remaining fifth of
the atmosphere. For illustration, let
us suppose we burn up the dead body of
a dog and at the same time a pile of
wood. In the act of burning, the pro
tein which forms so large a part of the
animal’s body is decomposed and its ni
trogen escapes into the atmosphere, not
to be taken up and used over again by
growing plants, like the <carbouic acid
and water which result from burning
the pile of wood, but- to remain as an
inert gas in the atmosphere, unable to
enter into or be absorbed by the grow
ing crops about which it circulates. Al
though they may be in sore need and
distress for the lack of that very nitrogen,
they cannot absorb it and use it while
still in the gaseous form, although there
' are oceans of it around and about and
i touching them.
To illustrate again, let us suppose
I the dead body of the dog decays,in
•
I growing crops, the’ nitrogen of the
I body v. i 1 be converted by slow process
i of deca;, and by the agency of the pu
‘ trefactive organisms or microbes into
■ ammonia and nitrates. In thia last
f >rin of nitrate, which is familiar to
you in the white salt, known as salt
peter, the roots of the plant are at last
able to absorb the nitrogen, which con
stituted a part of the animal's body am
to use and work it over in their little
cells and bodies and thus convert it into
vegetable protein, which is then in a
condition to be eaten by animals, say
by a sheep, and thus to become a part
of the lean meat of its body, which in
turn being eaten by man as mutton, be
comes a portion of his body.
I But observe the wastefulness of nature
in this case; unless that carcass decay at
the proper time and place in the vicinity
of growing crops or plants there is griev
ous waste. The protein of the body
will decay as usual aud be converted by
the nitrifying organisms or microbes I
mentiuned above into nitrates. Now
these nitrates are very soluble in water
and unless the roots of the plants are at
baud to appropriate them they are car
ried off in the drainage waters into th
springs, creeks and rivers and pass into
the sea, a total loss so far as Agricult
ure is concerned.
By reflecting on thes. facts you will
begin to appreciate the value of solu
ble nitrogen, to realize why it is
that a pound of beef costs more than
a pound of bread, aud also to reai
ire the great mistake made by Mothe*
Nature iu not creating all plants free
and equal in their ability to absorb
nitrogen from the atmosphere, just as
they absorb carbonic acid aud water.
In passing, and to illustrate the fact
that Nature is not republican or demo
cratic in her instincts and does not be
! lieve iu granting equal rights and privi
leges to all her children. I will mention
: the fact that the general law I have stated
’ above about plants not being able to ap
! L exceptions, and that a few favored
1 children of nature have thi speeia. ■ a
i ilege granted t.> them. The tavorues
i who enjoy this unural monopoly ars
I
i the clovers and legumes. This last
I named covers all of the plants of the
I pea and bean famil v. This <. xcaption
, I to the g< neral law is <>m» of immense
> j importune.' to Agriculture, and we will
j dwell on it later when we come to dis-
• I cuss the subject of fertilizers.
In my next letter 1 intend to give you
; a tabla giving analvses of the different
more important fe< ling stuffs and show- t
i
carbohydr.iti s, fat and ::sh f imd in |
them. All the elements ! .und in the |
1 animal body are also found in the plants |
on which the animals feed I'i.r this
reason, 1 will, at the risk of being a lit
, tie tedious, explain a little more fully
than I have alaeady done, some, of the
terms to bo used in tbetabloof analyses
■ of feeding stuffo
WATER: this is ossenti.il to the'
, proper distribution of tho nourishing
fluids through the animal system, and
is usually nine than half the live I
( weight of the animal. No matter
( how dry a feeding stuff may appear
, to be, it always contains a considerable
quantity of water, say from 10 to 90 per
cent of its weight. Though this water
L may render the food more succulent and
; palatable, it is of no more value than
. the water which the animal drinks. So,
( for this reason, and because tho varia
. tion of the water content is so great,
comparison of the different foods is
. usually made on a “dry basis,” that is
t the dry matter left after expelling the
( water by heat.
I have already described FiUjTEIN
quite fully, and will say no more about
that
In addition to what I have already
Baid about CARBOHYDRATES, I will
add, that the chemist usually divides
them into two groups, one they call “ni
trogen free extract”—which consists of
the starch, sugar and gums in tbe plant, |
I the other group they call cellulose or ■
, fiber. The fiber of wood, of hay and
straw is largely cellulose. Cotton fiber
is almost pure cellulose. Though so
different in appearance, both starch and
cellulose are carbohydrates. Coarse
fodders, hay and straw contain much
fiber. The grains, wheat and corn, con
tain only a little fiber, but much “nitro
gen free extract,” or starch and some
sugar. Cellulose is identical with starch
in chemical composition and may be con
verted like starch by suitable treatment
with acids and alkalies into dextrin and
! then into grape sugar. The glucose
or grape sugar largely used in candy
manufacture, is made almost entirely
by chemical treatment of corn starch
with tfeid. Grape sugar occurs in small
, quantities in the different feed stuffs,
and during the course of digestion in
the body it is formed iu large quan
tity from the starch and other carbohy
. dratea.
The ASH is what is left after burn
ing a feed stuff. It consists princi
pally of potash,, soda, lime, magnesia
and of carbonic, sulphuric and phos
phoric acids. These constitute the min
eral salts of food stuffs, aud during the
process of digestion the animal absorbs
what it needs of them and the rest is
excreted with the manure.
The term FAT in the table of analysis
means the fat or oil which is In tfie
foodstuff. It is of the same composition
practically as the fat of the body. The
fat of the feeding stuff is either assimi
lated tn tho body, as body fat, or else
, i burued’to furnish heat aud energy.

There May He a. Sea Serpent.
1 Modern deep sea explorations formed ths
3 subject of an interesting lecture given at
- the McKendree' Methodist Episcopal
t I church recently by C. H. Townsend, who,
as a member of the United States fish
commission, has made a number of trips '
in tho Atlantic and In the Pacific oceans
9 on the steamship Albatross.
. Mr. Townsend spoke at some length of
the fabulous sea serpents. If you would
* call them sea monsters, ho said, he would
■ by no means dispute tho possibility of
t their existence. Dredging at great depths
j had resulted in the finding of many species
which the naturalist had classed as ex
tinct. All of these had been small ani
mals, as present methods had not develop
-9 ed so as to obtain the larger ones. Now, it
. is known that in prehistoric times many
sea monsters existed, and while those are
r supposedly extinct Mr. Townsend eonsid-
- ers it by no means improbable that some
7 of them are still living in great depths.
Once in awhllo perhaps one of them might
y come to the surface, and in this manner
■
f which most people laugh at, could be ex
r plained as correct.—-Washington Post

I LIVING IN THE COUNTRY.
The Growlnir Fondnean For Hural
Life h Good SfAtn.
In Tho Ladit s’ lb me Journal Edward
Ifok, with much satisfaction, notes the
strong teudtney to country living and
believes that “it is one of the best signs
! of the times. Nothing in the world can
! keep a man or woman so young and
I fresh as to lie able to be in touch each
• day with tbe perpetual freshness and I
■ youth of nature. Suburban life means i
j more out of doer Jiving, and that is ;
i what we Americans all need. We want |
: more exercise, and suburban living I
makes that ea.-i. r. We w.mt our inter
est in things kept fre.-h, and that nature
does for us as nothing else can.
“Die. more our busy mm see of na- |
tun ’s restful ways the more restful i
will they become. The closer we keep
i.our children to ti < sol the healthier |
■will they bephy;. ally and the stronger i
will they develop mentally. Thu more I
our girls breathe in the pure air which !
I God intended for all, but which num in I
the cities pollutes, tbo better women we |
shall have, the fi w.r worried mothers
we shall sec. The mole -..r young men
see of out of dom .-puns the more clear
ly will they realize the greatness of
splendid physical health.
“The more the tired housewife sees of
flowers and plants and trees the closer
will become her interest in ali things
natural and simple, and, as she sees the
simplicity with which nature works un
consciously, will the lesson be forced up
on her and enter into her own methods.
We all agree that there is no teacher
like nature herself. Let us all, then, get
us close to her as possible. Whatever
she teaches is wholesome to the mind
and uplifting to the soul and strength
ening to the body. In the very act of
studying her wonderful ways there is
health. ’’
THE ALBATROSS.
A Bird of Mnjeatie Aerial Velocity
and Insatiable Appetite.
Out of the blue void the albatross
comes unhasting on motionless pinions,
yet at “such speed that one moment a
ipcck hardly discernible, turn but your
eyes away, and ere you can again look
round he is gliding majestically over
head. Nothing in nature conveys to the
mind so wonderful an idea of effortless
velocity as does his calm appearance
from vacancy. Like most of the true
pelagic birds, he is a devourcr of offal,
tbe successful pursuit of fish being im
possible to his majestic evolutions. His
appetite is enormous, but bis powers of
abstinence are equally great, and often
for days he goes without other nourish
ment than a drink of the bitter sea. At
the Gargantuan banquet provided by a
carcass of a dead whale ho will gorge
himself until incapable of rising from
tho sea, yet still his angry scream may
be heard as if protesting against his in
ability Li find room for more provision
against hungry days soon to follow.
Desjiito his incomparable grace of
flight when gliding through midair
with his mightj’ wings outspread, when
ashore or on deck he is clumsy and ill
at ease. Even seated upon the sea, his
proportions appear somewhat ungainly,
while hie huge hooked beak seems too
heavy to be upheld. On land he can
hardly' Iktlanoe himself, and the broad
silky webs of his feet soon become lacer
ated. Thus his visits to the lone and
generally inaccessible rocks -which are
his breeding places are as brief as may
be, since even conjugal delights trie
dearly purchasedwith hunger and pain
ful restraint. A true child of the air,
land is hateful to him, and only on the
wing does he appear to bo really at
home und easeful.—London Spectator.
C ruel < uptalnt
It would not dccur to many people
\ that a voyage in one of the swan boats
which sail the little pond in tbe public
garden of a New England city could be
attended with horrors, but that idea
was firmly fixed in the mind of a small
maiden of 7 years.
“Would you like a ride in one of the
> swan bouts, Marjorie?” asked the little
j maid’s aunt as they crossed the bridge
j over the pond one day.
“No, indeed,” said Marjorie, with
sudden shrinking. “I couldn't bear to
see them throw the babies iu.
“The man says that’s what he does, ”
she asserted with rising excitement ns,
her aunt looked much perplexed, “Hear
him 1 He’s saying it now.”
Her aunt listened, and of a truth the
man’s statement, viewed from Mar
jorie's standpoint, was far from reas
suring.
“Take a ride in the swan boats, ” he
calledjoudly from the landing. “Grown
folks, 16 cents; children, 5,” and then,
with a deceptive smile, he added, "Ba
bies thrown in.”—Youth's Companion.
Napoleon In Kverureen.
The great Napoleon, done in ever
green, is the unique statue that stands
in the garden of M. d’Aguilleres, in the
suburbs of Paris. The statue is a perfect
actoristic attitude, wearing a cocked
hat and sword and snuffbox in hand.
The features are very lifelike.
The greatest care is necessary in order
to preserve the likeness, and the artist
gardener spends considerable time in
clipping off dead leaves and cutting
away an occasional branch. The signa
ture of Napoleon is reproduced at the
foot of tbe statue in flowers.—Paris
