FOOD VALUES OF OLIVES.
Discussed in the Year Book of the
Department of Agriculture.
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

were fed to hens and the length of

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
