In the kyack of venison lay her own and her lover's safety: it contained enough nutritious food to sustain them until the fall rains could swell the Yuga and enable them to escape down to the Indian encampment. Her mind was swift and keen as never before: swiftly she perfected the last detail of her plan.
"We are sailing to sea," whispered the Jew. "It is too late to escape. The next billow may fling us apart, and our bones shall descend amongst the oyster-shells to build houses for the nutritious beings of the water. Thence, some day, my son, from the heavens God may drop His tongs and draw us up to Him, as on this night thy father and I drew the casket, many years ago. Look there! Look there!"
I never saw a man who looked more as if he needed a really big meal of beef and plum-pudding; but he was an authority on diet, and told me that food if too nutritious was very bad for the brain.
The nutritious properties of the banana are far in excess of any other known vegetable food. African explorers have told the author that in an emergency, when threatened with famine, they have sustained life and strength for themselves and their followers upon two bananas a day for six consecutive days, all the time engaged in the hardest sort of foot-travel through the pathless forest.
The third grows only in high situations, and is unknown upon the plains; it has leaves very minutely subdivided, and looks like a fern, but the blossom and seed are nearly identical with the other varieties. The peculiar property of the plant is, that, though highly nutritious both for sheep and cattle when eaten upon a tolerably full stomach, it is very fatal upon an empty one.
Bruce remarked upon the undigested bits of wood seen in their droppings, and he must have observed, too, that neither leaves nor seeds are changed by passing through the alimentary canal. The woody fibre of roots and branches is dropped in the state of tow, the nutritious matter alone having been extracted.
The roots of this, when boiled, are said to be nutritious. The Scotch Highlander chews the root as a substitute for tobacco. PILEWORT. Ranunculus Ficaria. The young leaves in spring are boiled by the common people in Sweden, and eaten as greens.
Manner in which worms seize objects Their power of suction The instinct of plugging up the mouths of their burrows Stones piled over the burrows The advantages thus gained Intelligence shown by worms in their manner of plugging up their burrows Various kinds of leaves and other objects thus used Triangles of paper Summary of reasons for believing that worms exhibit some intelligence Means by which they excavate their burrows, by pushing away the earth and swallowing it Earth also swallowed for the nutritious matter which it contains Depth to which worms burrow, and the construction of their burrows Burrows lined with castings, and in the upper part with leaves The lowest part paved with little stones or seeds Manner in which the castings are ejected The collapse of old burrows Distribution of worms Tower-like castings in Bengal Gigantic castings on the Nilgiri Mountains Castings ejected in all countries.
The poultrymen will do well, however, not to count on the chemistry of the future, for the chemist that makes the "tissue salts" for the hen may manufacture human food with Niagara power and fresh eggs will come in tin cans. How the Hen Unbalances Balanced Rations. Let the poultryman who figures the nutritious ratio of chicken feed try this simple experiment.
In some kinds of food the quantity and quality of nutriment are much inferior to what they are found to be in other kinds. Hence greater moderation is required in the use of the latter than in that of the former, otherwise the stomach, overcharged, would soon become disgusted with it. On the other hand, no quantity of food void of nutritious qualities will ever appease hunger.
