terial with which to trim hats. In-
ded, there is only one variety that is
at present used to any great extent
for this purpose.- Some years ago
seaweed attained a widespread pop
ularity, especially in England, and be
came very fashionable, so much so
that the demand far exceeded the sup
ply, which is at all times strictly lim
ited, for though the harvest time lasts
from October until the beginning of
April, the entire amount collected an
nually for commercial purposes is
only some 20 or 30 tons.
The Isle of Grain is the home of
the seaweed harvesters. The "weed,"
as It is known locally, is not culti
vated in any way, but drifts ashore
and is picked up on the beach and
foreshore at low tide. Exactly where
it comes from does not seem to have
been definitely ascertained. Some of
the inhabitants are of opinion that it
grows in the deep waters of the North
sea, and others think that its native
place 18 in the shallow waters of the
Thames estuary. Be that as it may,
the Island of Grain is the only part of
the coast upon which it comes ashore
in marketable quantities.
Harvesting; the weed provides a pre
carious and uncertain employment for
practically the whole poorer class pop
ulation of the island. Each gathers
for him or herself independently, and
disposes of the result to dealers, who
in turn forward it to London and for
eign houses. A northerly gale brings
most seaweed ashore, and a single
gleaner has been known to pick up
half a hundredweight in a morning.
At other times when the wind is in
the wrong direction, none will come in
for days. The present market price
of the partially dried seaweed, from
which all rubbish has been removed,
is about 12 cents per pound. It must
be remembered, however, that the
weed is extremely light and feathery.
Queen Alexandra, of England, whose
antipathy to the ruthless destruction
of birds for the sake of their plumage
is so well known, has done much to
bring seaweed back into popular favor
as an adornment for hats by recently
purchasing a quantity for that pur
pose. When skilfully blended and ar
tistically arranged in combination
with artificial flowers, the fairy sprays
of this slender and charming seaweed
are capable of producing exception
ally fine effects. In fact, hats so
trimmed form quite a feature of some

the Horse Shows.
Milk-fed chickens bring the highest
prices as a table delicacy, and milk
fed horses bid fair to win the most
stakes on the race track. An impor
tant scientific experiment is being
tried by James R. Hatmaker, an
American residing in Paris, and he
has established the fact that colts

grow and develop much faster on dry
milk than upon the foods ordinarily
given to them, and that a horse can
work harder and train better on dry
milk than on any other food.
Although milk is known to be a
complete food a food that contains
all the elements necessary for the
growth and repair of human beings
and animals it is not generally real
ized that when it is reduced to a dry
powder, by the evaporation of its wa
ter, we have a highly concentrated
natural food that is several times
more nutritive than meat. That this
must be so will be readily seen when
It is remembered that liquid milk, as
it comes from the cow, contains seven
parts of water to each part of nutri
tive solids, and that one pound of dry
milk is as nutritive as eight pounds
of liquid milk. When the water of
liquid milk is evaporated instantane
ously upon cylinders heated in excess
of 212 degrees Fahrenheit, as it now
done in all countries, the nutritive
milk solids are obtained in the form
of a beautiful white powder which is
known as dry milk or milk-powder.
Owing to the high heat of the drying
cylinders all germs that are present
in the liquid milk are destroyed and
the milk is robbed of its dangers and
made a perfectly safe, solid food.
What gave Mr. Hatmaker the idea
that thoroughbred colts could be ad
vantageously reared on this dry milk
was the fact that children fed upon
it and grew and developed much more
rapidly than upon any other food. He,
therefore, concluded that if a colt
could be fed upon it it would reach
development much earlier than colts
fed in the ordinary way, and that he
might get a horse with the physical
development of a three-year-old in
two years, or the development of a
four-year-old in three years. He,
therefore, bought a thoroughbred colt
26 days old and took it from its
mother and fed it upon dry milk. He
gave it no other food except a small
quantity of hay to give bulk and his
expectation was soon realized. He
weighed the colt every day and found
that it gained over two and a half
pounds daily, and when it was one
year old it weighed 752 pounds, and
had gained at least four months on
colts fed in the ordinary way.
He continued the feeding with dry
milk never giving the horse a parti
cle of grain and his horse reached
its full maximum of weight in the un
precedented time of 18 months and
ten days. At that time it weighed
1.012 pounds, and had gained 825
pounds in the 533 days that had in
tervened since it was weaned, an av
erage of over one and a half pounds
a dav. The horse had beaten all
records of growth by several months
and he was a most perfect example of
development.
Having every reason for thinking
that the horse would train better on
dry milk than on grain the dry milk
containing five times as much di
gestible, muscle-making material as
oats, and 12 times as much as hay
Mr. Hatmaker has never given him
any other food, and his horse named
Azote will soon be seen in the great
European races for two-year-olds. He
is a beautiful horse, with wonderful
muscles, and his trials give the best
reasons for thinking that he will be a
great race horse.
