"One of the greatest troubles experi
enced by people living in tropical coun
tries,” said L. T. Varden, of Chicago,
nt the Gilsey house, "is to obtain meat
of a quality fit to eat. Take the Phil
ippines, for iustance. The cattle there
are magnificent to look at. but they
cut up Into mighty poor food, being fat
and also stringy. Almost all the meat
used by our men there comes from
Australia, being brought in refrigera
tor ships, from which It is issued threa
times a week. The Australian Is as
good beef as a man would care to eat.
There is. or’rather was—for it Is nearly
a year and a half since I was there—a
lack of poultry, also. No hens or
chickens can be obtained, but only
ducks, which Is an exceedingly poor
substitute for a lien’s egg, in uiy esti
mation. I understand that since then
they have tried to remedy this and
other deficiencies by Importing liens
and other things, but I doubt the suc
cess of the experiment, for the climate,
different kind of food and the like, may
change the flesh of the fowl and the
quality of the egg.' C. A. Williams, a
friend of mine, who used to lie United
States consul at Johannesburg, and
who now lives iti the Transvaal, told
me that when he first went to South
Africa he endeavored to raise the char
acter and quality of his table supplies
by Importation. The meat in South
Africa was poor, but that could not be
helped. American fowls.
Williams
thought, would be a decided Improve
ment over those of the Transvaal, anti
their eggs would enable him to begin
each day with an easy stomach ant! a
satisfied' mind. So he brought out a
flock of American-tired poultry. At
first all went well; the breakfast egg
was a godsend and the occasional
chicken at dinner all that he bad fond
ly anticipated, but then there came a
change, at first so gradual that Will
iams was inclined to attribute it to loss
of appetite. The breakfast egg grew
coarse and coarser In flavor until li be
came wholly uneatable and the dinner
chicken deteriorated In similar manner
and with identical result. With the
former, however, the outward appear
ance of the egg remained the same, but
the poultry not only changed In qual
ity and flavor of flesh, but also la ex
ternal appearance as well. Without
increasing the size of the body, the
necks grew longer and thinner ntid the
legs lengthened out of all proportion,
until nt last the liens resembled noth
ing so much ns diminutive ostriches.
They were unfit to eat and of no other
domestic use. and so Williams gave
them nway to the Kaffirs, but for some
time lie thought of exhibiting them
here at a poultry show, mainly to as
certain what names competent judges
would apply to them, but the expense
deterred him. He also had another
scheme to get even, which was to en
ter the roosters in cocking mains.
Williams said they could lick anything
that wore feathers, short of an eagle
or an ostrich, and that there was not a
dog In the Transvaal that would come
