Annles for Human Blood.

With us the value of an apple, as an ar
ticle of food, is far underrated. Besides
containing large amount of sugar, mucil-
age and other nutritive matter, apples con-
tain vegetable acid, aromatic qualities, ETC.,
which act powerfully in the capacity of re-
frigerants, tonics and antiseptics and
when freely used at the season Of mellow
ripeness, they preveut debility, and indi-
gestion, and avert without doubt many of
the "ills that flesh is heir to-" The opera
tors of Cornwall, England, consider ripe
apples nearly as nourishing as bread, and
far more so than potatoes In the year
1901, apples, instead of being converted
into cider, were sold to the poor, and the
laborers assert that they could "stand
their work" on baked apples without meat,
whereas potatoe diet either requires meat
or some other substantial nutriment. The
French and Germans use apples exten-
svely, and SO do the inhabitants of all Eu-
ropean nations. 1.-THE laborers depend upon
them as an article of food, and frequently
make a dinner of sliced apples and bread.
There is no fruit cooked in as many differ
ent ways in our country as apples; nor is
there any fruit whose value, as an article
of nutriment is so great, and SO little ap-
preciated.- Water Cure Journal

Cheap Paints.

Take eleven pounds of unslacked lime
and one gallon of boiling water and stir
into thick pudding; then add to it two
gallons of linseed oil and one quarter of a
pound of potash dissolved in one pint of
boiling water. Mix thoroughly, and if the
oil and potash do not unite, add little
more potash water; there must be enough
to cut the oil perfectly, but no more. 1t
will be thicker than common paint, but
will spread easily with common paint
brush, and will wear excellently well, and
has all the appearance of a superior paint,
while its cost is less than half as much.
For paint for barns, out houses, fences,
ETC., it is unequaled.

Save the Best Fowls for Breeding.

1t is the worst possible policy to kill all
the best and handsomest fowls, and save
only the mean and scraggy ones to breed
from. This is precisely the way to run
out your stock for like tends to breed like,
and the result is, that by continually tax
ing away the best birds, and using the eggs
of the poorest your flock will grow poorer
and poorer every succeeding year.
1t would seem as though this was too
plain to be insisted upon, but, in fact,
&C. line upon line" is indeed. 1t is the cry
ing want of the poultry upon the farms
the country through, careful and in
telligent selection of the best for breeding.
Nothing is lost by little self denial to
start with. The extra pound or two of
poultry flesh that you leave on its legs, in
stead of sending it to the market, is as
good seed, and will bring forth tenfold and
twenty-fold in your future broods. Save
your best stock for breeding. PouI-

PreserYlng Peach frees.

1t is general complaint that peach
trees, after producing few crops, not only
cease bearing, but perish in a short time I;
whereas the natural life is fifty Or sixty
years Or more. DR.. Wood communicates
the result Of some experiments, which he
thinks, furnishes key to unlock this mys-
terry, and affording peachl growers rem
edy for the early loss of their trees. He
believes this defective power of growth is
owing to a lack of potash in the soil, and
he assures us, that If alkali is supplied TO
the tree SO that it shall --recall the small
roots and be absorbed, the fruit bearing
power is restored, and the fruit itself re-
viyed.

Insnrnnce Notice.

On and after the tenth day of April,
1872, The Home Reserve force of Insur-
ance Agents belonging to "The Pennsylva-
mia Central Insurance Company" will leave
POttsville in heavy force, and occupy ten
different counties of the State, where they
will continue to act as the Company's
Agents until full line of Local Agents
can be appointed, when they will be recalled.
AS body of men, believe they are supe-
rior Insurance Agents, and most of them
speak the English, French, Welsh and Ger
man Languages. The City Insurance
Journals, with all their sneers at Mutual
Companies, and continual cry of Fraud
Fraud &C., cannot muster any better In
surance material Why don't the City In
surance papers tell the public that no Mu-
tual Company broke or failed during the
last ten years? Why don't they tell the
public that more than half the Stock Com
panies started within the last ten years
have? 1t is well-known fact that Mutual
Companies cannot fail.

Adulteration of Spices.

A friend Of ours, recently returned from
Europe, informs us that while at Malaga
he was asked to buy almond shells. Not
knowing to what use they were put, he
was informed-and has since found it to be
true-that parties from New York have for
a year or two past imported several cargoes,
to be ground and mixed with spices, prin-
cipally cassia, which when ground, it so
nearly resembles that it can not be detected
by the eye. That all sorts of ground spices
have been for a long time largely adulter-
ated is a fact well known to most people.
Cassia is mixed with ground almond shells,
pepper with parched peas, ginger with corn
meal, mustard, ditto, cloves and other spic-
es with various cheap substances that can
not be detected with the eye. To such an
extent is this fraudulent business carried,
that we unhesitatingly say that one-half Of
what is sold for ground spices is not what
it purports to be and this is not all of the
fraud practiced in these articles; they are
mostly put in packages of from one-fourth
to one pound papers for the retail trade.
IL any one will take the trouble to weigh
these packages, he will find, as a rule, he
is cheated in weight as well as nquality.
