NOT A LUXURY I (Experimental Farms Note) Poultry meat has. dropped in price to` `such an extent that its general use should lbe more seriously considered. Viewed from E l l . -the economic as well as the scientific stand? ,point of nutrition it is worthy of a higherl lplace and more frequent.use in the dailyg ltliet than it has been accorded. It ehould; ibe regarded as an essential part of our:. :diet rather than as a luxury. The question of the value of poultry} !meat for food has, been given attention by} [chemists at various times. Results ofi `their researches have been published from3 ltime to time. An.al_vses have been 1natle' of the flesh of practically all kinds of: !domestic fowl and these furnish a basis for; )comparison of poultry meats with other} `articles of hunnm food. A comparison of; iponltry meats wi`h beef. veal. lamb andi lporl<- show that the refuse in poultry is: lsnxnewhat lessthan in other meats. Fur-`._ -thermore, the carcass of foul `can he, table a large amount of nourishment \<'h`chi [would otherwise be lost and which in the: e:w,-`e of other meats is often discarded. The! -lamount of water is about the same in' I T; ` i more expensive. V I jpoultry as in other meats. but the amount; `of intlizqesft-ible nutrients in poultry is small.l Summing up these differences. poultry} shows a slightly higher proportion actual-'3 ily available for nourishment than other meats. As fats furnish more heat per! `unit weight. than proteins or carboliytlratesl and since poultry meat is simewhat lower gin fat than other mea`s. its fuel value is` iC"l'l'S[)()Il(llllgl)' less.
