Two food products of considerable Importance are made from olives, namely, olive oil or salad oil and pickled olives. A third product, little known in this country, is the dried olive, much euten in Greece und some other neighboring countries. All olive oil and pickled olives were formerly imported, most generally from south ern Europe. In recent years California has developed olive growing, and tho Industry has now assumed consider able importance. The ripe olive fruit Is not unlike an oval damson plum In form and size. In color It ranges from various shades of purple to almost black. It. has a sour unci persistent bitter flavor. Samples of many different varieties analyzed varied greatly In size, ranging from less than 100 to ovpr 100 to tho pound, the majority, however, ranging from lfiO to 250 to the pound. The pit con stitutes about 20 per cent of the whole fruit, but here there is also consid erable range. Both pulp and pit con tain oil. The amount of oil in tho pulp in different samples analyzed ranged from If! to about S8 per cent; that In the pit from 0.C0 to 1,."2 per cent. AVhether used for oil muking or for pickling the ollvq should be carefully gathered. The ripe fruit Is used for oil making and for pickling, the exact stage when It is best suited for this purpose being a matter which must be learned by experience. The green fruit is also used for pickling and should be gathered when full grown nnd just before it begins to color und soften. The pickled olives usually found in the American market are made from the green fruit. The pickled ripe olives are also mot with and may be recog nized bv their dark color. The best oil Is made by crushing the curefully picked fresh olives, To faclll tat the extraction or the oil tho olives are often partially dried before crush- uiB. uiu-uismoneti sione nuns uro commonly used to crush the fruit, al though bronze crushers are being tried with good results. The ground mass Is pressed to extract the juice, which enn 'talns watery plant Juices In udidtlon to the oil and more or less pulpy mut ter, Various devices are used to sep arate the oil und to purify It. It is said thut the best oil is obtained bv allowing the pulp, etc., to sottle, and decuntlng the clear oil. It generally takes about one month for oil to settle tho first time. Three racklngs are usu ally sulllclent. The oil thus oblitlnod Is almost as bright as can be produced by the most effective nitration, and it has, besides, the distinctive olive llavor and lacks the greaslnesa which Is cliaracteristlc of all littered oils. At the present time a. good and growing (letnund exists all over the United .States for olive products, but tho market seems to bo poorly orsunlssed, ltlpo pickles bring 75 cents per gallon In the market, while good, ripe olives for pickling sell in the orchard for from $20 to $90 per ton. A steady mar ket exists also for standard size green pickles. HEN FOOD AND EGG FLAVOR. Agricultural Department Tests Show There's an Intimate Rela tionship, Housewives who use many eggs and all who habitually eat them boiled Know that thero Is much dlffoionco lu tho flavor of even Uioso which arc un donlably fresh, Thero Is a very gen eral belief that tho llavor Is lulliiencsd by the feed which the hens receive, and that materials possessing strong flavors, like onions, turnips, etc, im part an injurious llavor to tho eggs. The truth of this belief wits shown by recent iperlmonU at the North Carolina experiment station of the United States department of agricul ture. Chopped wild onion tops and bulbs were fed to hens and the length of tlmo before thero was u change in the flavor of the eggs wus noted, us well as the length of time which must elapse after onion feeding was dlscon- MONDAY SALE BEGINS AT AFTERNOON SALE BEGINS AT 3:3Q EVENING SALE BEGINS AT S.OO & Co., 124 Wyoming Ave cj Merry Christmas h)e Wish to jfll Foote & Fuller Co Mears Building.

At the bi.'KiuuliiK of tile trial a halt ounce of chopped onion top-4 per head daily was fed to twelve hens of different breeds. i!opPiUed tests did not show any onion llavor In the t'KKS until 'the fifteenth day, when it was distinctly noticeable. Tho amount of onion fed uts doubled for four days antl then discontinued. The t'SPfS laid while the lut'Kor amount of onion was fed weir so .strongly lluvor ei! that they could not be used. Af ter discontinuing the feeding of onions the llavor became less noticeable and In a week the t'K'K"s were of normal ... i-iii"u llavor. The main mints brought out by the tests were the following Flavor can be fed into epi. There fore it appears to insuru llncly flavored efjjjs It is necessary to restrict so that no considerable union nt of food which will produce badly iluvored ok'ss can be obtained. Some years iiko the Now York Cor nell station, in htudylnj,' the effect of nltrosetious against carbonaceous food for poultry, reported observations on the effect of the different rations on the llavor of obrs. One lot of fowls was fed a mixture of wheat shorts. ! cotton seed meal and sKlm miller nil- j oilier lot cracked corn und corn dough i'lie former ration contained niii'-li more nitrogen than the latter. The hens fed corn laid fewer eggs than those fed the nitrogenous ration, but the t'Rgs were larger. The eggs pro duced by the nitrogenous ration wero of a disagreeable llavor and smell, hail a small yoke and did not keep well. The flesh of the poultry fed this ration, however, wus dailter, moro succulent and tender than that of the fowls fed tho carnonact'ous ration, These experiments also show that the food has a marked otfei t on the llavor of eggs. The gcncial exper ience of poultry ralseis Is Unit nitro genous rations are more proiltublo to feed since they produce a larger num ber of eggs. In view of tho fact that such a ration, If too rich. In nitrogen, may produco uggs of iiiiplcusant llavor. It would seem advisable to noto the elfcct of any ration fed upon llavor and modify it If tho eggs are found to be Inferior In this respect. SUBSTITUTES FOR COFFEE. Comment in the Year Book of tho Department of Agriculture. Coffee substitutes of domestic manufacture- have Ions been known. An infusion of parched corn, or corn cof fee, hus met with son; favor In tho household as a dilnk fur Invalids. Parched wheat, peas, beam: and coin cobs, as well as sweet otutoes, cut Into small pieces and dried and parched huvo ulHa been used, .Such drinks are usually resorted to In tlmen of scarcity or when, for one rcasoa or another, It Is not possible to obtain true coffee. Chicory Is also a well-known substi tute for coffee, although It Is generally used mixed In larger or smaller propor tion with true coffee, and by many such mixtures are preferred to coffee ulone, as the chicory is thought to im prove the llavor, There hus recently appeared u con siderable number of coffee substitutes on the murket which generally claim to bo made from cereals. In most cuses the claim Is also made thut such beverages are especially wholesome, and In some cases thut they huvo a high food value, Tho value us food SALE e & & & e e & e e e e e e & & & each day throughout the week. 10.30 Reserved AMUSEMENTS.
