Tin Cans do no Harm. |

THE PRE MEATS.

A MANUFACTURER EXPLAINS SENT METHOD OF CANNING “Very few manufacturers of tin cans

now use muriatic zine or other poison-

ous preparations in the making of cans or for soldering purposes,” said one of | the proprietors of a large factory where all kinds of cans are made, in answer to the question of a reporter. “Some of | the packers still use muriatic acid in | soldering, but it is fast giving way to a harmless chemical preparation for the purpose which was invented five or six years ago. The quantity of soider used is so much less, however, than it used to be that even if it were not on the outside of the can it probably could do no harm. The methods of preparing all kinds of canned goods have greatly

improved since the business was first begun Kighteen pounds of solder S Ss

now answers the purpose where seventy was Once required. | do not believe that any trouble which has ever arisen from the eating of canned meats has been occasioned by the tins. The pre judice, nevertheless, in regard to can ned meats, especially corned beef, is widespread. It is generally believed to be due to the cans.

“The first instance of sickness eating canned corned beef that attracted any attention was in Ger- man} The beef was canned in Chi cago. It was put up in the old-fashion- ed way, with an inch of soldering inside and out. The German scientists at the time had discovered little or nothing in regard to the alkaloids existing ia meats in case Of semi-putrefaction that are so largely engaging the attention of the scientific world at present. When they examined the beef that had occasioned iliness, and the cars in which it had been preserved,they could find no other explanation of the dificulty than the

from ever

large amount of solder. From that fact alone has grown the belief that {in cans convey poi sonous qualities to meat preserv-

edinthem. I have tried every experi- ment possible with tin cans to deter- mine whether there was any truth in this idea, and am satisfied there is po

ground for its existence. The entire trouble, where canned meats are found unhealthy, lies in the fact that they

either were not in good condition when put up, or that the process was imper- fect, and decom position too slight to be determined by odor or appearance, but sufficient todevelop dangerous oids.,

“As I said before, a few packers atill use muriatic acid in soldering, but it is ull put on the outside of the can, and so little is used that it could hardly affect the food in the cans. Occasionally some small country manufaeturers who is behind the times, follows the old style of work and uses poisonous solutions, but these can-makers do not supply the packing trade. The packing houses that make their own cans all follow the best modern methods. Nothing is used in the manufacture of the tin can of to-day which could possibly result in injury to any food placed in it.”"—Chi- ‘ ag } Ne Ds,

ee A Secret in Plant Growing.

A Cincinnati correspondent of the Gardener's Monthly writes :~~“An old friend of yours,by the name of Hutchi son, here, is the best plant grower that [have ever seen. tle confines himself chiefly to roses, verbenas, heliotropes, mignionette and fuchsias, and a tew other things ; but it would delight you to see such fine healthy plants as he has got. It is worth going miles to see his green-house,—-and what do you think is the secret ? Why, he pots in rotten cow-dung, and nothing else. There is a secret for you! He gathers it upin the fall, and keeps itin a dry place. Before potting,he puts it through a seive; and when potting puts a little of the coarse in the bottom of the pot, (no crock or drainage of any kind), and uses the fine round the sides, Kvery- thiog thrives in it, from a begonia to a scarlet geranium. No peat! no loam! no leaf-mould ! He propagates in sand, and pots in cow-dung! That is his Alpha and Omega.”

Carbolic Acid in Paste and Glue.

The effluvia from decomposing paste and glue is as unwholesome as it is offensive. If, when making the paste orglue,asmall quantity of carbolic acid is added it will keep sweet and free from offensive smelis. A few drops added to mucilage or ink prevents mold. In whitewashing the cellar and dairy, if an ounce of carbolic acid is added to each gallon of wash, it will prevent mold and also the disagreeable taints often perceived in meats and milk from damp apartments. Another great advantage in the use of carbolic acid in paste for wall paper and in whitewasb is that it will drive away cockroaches and other insect pests. The cheapest and best form of carbolic acid is the crystals, which dissolve io water or liquify at any excess of tem- perature,
