Apples.

With US the use Of the apple, as an
article of food, is far moderated. Be
sides containing large amount of sug-
ar, mucilage and other nutritive matter,
apples contain vegetable acids, aromatic
qualities, etc, which act powerfully in
the capacity of rcfrigerants, tonics and
antiseptics, and when freely used at the
season Of mellow ri peness they prevent
debility, Indigestion, and avert, without
doubt many of the Ills that flesh is
heir to" The operatives of Cornwall,
England: consider ripe apples nearly as
nourishing as bread and far more so
than potatoes. In the year 1901
which was year of much scarcity-ap-
pies, instead Of being converted into ci-
der, were sold to the poor, and laborers
asserted that they could stand their
work" on baked apples without meat;
whereas potato diet required meat or
some other substantial nutriment. The
French and Germans use apples extern
siyely; so do the inhabitants of all Eu-
ropean nations. The laborers depend
upon them as an article Of food, and fire.
quently make dinner of sliced apples
and bread. There is no fruit cooked in
as many different ways in our country
as apples, nor is there any fruit whose
value, as an article of nutriment, is as
great and so little appreciated. = Water

TapiOca..

The plant from which tapioca is OBJ
tanned, is native of South America,
and is cultivated extensively in Brazil,
as also in many parts of the East In
dies and the Indian Archipelago. 1t is
a woody plant with slender stalks, and
grows to the height of about eight feet,
and is known as the Cassova or Manioc
plant. 1t has smooth, palm-shaped
leaves, and bears small, green flowers,
which grow in clusters, with an immense
sized fleshy root, sometimes weighing
as much as forty or fifty pounds. The
plant belongs to highly poisonous
tribe, and is itself one of the most viru-
lent of it's species. This poison is found
more particularly in the juice of the
plant, small quantity killing birds,
quadrupeds and even man himself, caus-
ing cold perspirations, great swellings
and commissions, generally ending in
death; but this deleterious substance is
so highly volatile if exposed to heat, or
even the open air for about two days,
that its property is entirely dissipated.
The root from which tapioca is procu-
red is Of rapid growth and comes to per-
lection in six months, and somewhat re-
sembles huge parsnip. IL is taken up
and washed, and the rind, which is of a
dark color, peeled off; then grated OF
ground into pulp, and the pulp sub
mitted to pressure, by which the juice
is expressed and preserved. The meal
or pulp that remains in the press, being
dried, is called conaque, and is made in
to bread or cake, which is called cassa-
va bread. The expressed juice, after
being allowed to stand, deposits white
powder, which, after being well washed
and dried, constitutes what is called
tapioca flour, or Brazilian arrowroot, and
| by the French moossache. All the pro
ducts Of the roots are nutritious and
easy of digestion. The natives frequent
ly ferment the expressed juice with
molasses and form an Intoxicating bev-
erage called onycan, that supplies the
place of the wine or beer Of the temper
ate climate. When the climate is fav-
orable, the plant is of hardy nature
and easily cultivated. 1t requires dry
situation and the land to be of good
quality, and will not yield on the same
ground two successive crops. The
mode of planting is from cuttings, and
and little moisture is needed by the
plant at its first growth. There are
nine different species enumerated Tor
human food; they are known as the bit
ter cassava and the sweet cassava. The
roots are very similar, the first by far
the most poisonous, the only percepti-
BILE difference between the two roots be-
inc a tough lipneOus cord running
through the center of the sweet cavassa
root, which the bitter variety is wholly

Keeping the Roses in Bloom.

As soon as they have formed their
first flowers in the open ground, pinch
off the end Of the first shoot, and as soon
as the rose is fully opened, pick it off.
No rose should be left to fade upon the
bush, as when so left it exhausts the
plant in the formation of seed AS
the plant grows, pinch back the ends of
the shoots when they have grown six
inches, and rub out all puny shoots, thus
keeping the plants in rounded, open
bush form. If strong shoots alone are
left to grow, they will soon control the
strength of the paint, and the flowers
will be few and often Of imperfect form.
Should the season be hot or dry, a mulch
of fine, fresh grass or sawdust, or moss
from the woods, should be placed all
over the sail, three inches deep, and at
night watered thoroughly, not sprinkled
but wet like days rain. The Hybrid
Perpetuals or Noisetter require this
pruning or pinching back, more promptly
than the Teas, Bengals, or bourbons.

The NeW York Tribune has the follow
ing cures for these so much dreaded ac-
compartments of hot weather and warm
winds:
l. Bruise and then squeeze the juice
out of the common chickweed and to
this juice add three times the quantity
of soft water. Battle the skin with this
for five or ten minutes, and wash after
wards with clean water night and morn
ing. 2. Elder flowers treated and appli-
ed exactly in the same manner. When
the flowers are not to be had, the dis
titled water from them (Which may be
procured from any druggist will answer
the purpose. 3. Honey, one ounce,
mixed with one pint of lukewarm water;
when cold, it forms good lotion. This
is commonly called honey wash. 4.
Take carbonate of potass, twenty grains;
milk of almonds, three ounces oil Of
sassafras, three drops Mix, and apply
two or three times day.

Feeding Cattle.

A correspondent of the Rural Sun
gives his experience in feeding cattle as
follows: If they are sometimes stuffed
and at other times starved, they will
soon go through the process of eating
off their heads" In feeding meal | al
ways want it ground fine, as my expert
ence is that three bushels of fine meal
is equal to four bushels ground coarse;
this the feeder must guard against Al
ways give each one box to himself, so
you know he eats what you feed him,
and always accustom them to being tied
up from calves. If this is not conven-
lent when you begin to feed, tie them
up at night and let them run loose in
the lot of a day. Keep them well bed
ded, and never allow hog in their
stalls, or you will lose much of the ma
nure they make, and that with me is a
big item. When your stalls begin to be
too hot to be healthy, clean out and
haul directly to where you want the ma

Keep Your Hogs Clean.
Western Stock Journal.


The hog, although wallowing in the
tilthiest mire, and sometimes feeding
upon the most disgusting kinds of food,
both animal and vegetable, does not al
ways do so with IMMUNITY. We are
convinced that many animals of this
class are annually lost from the effects
of improper food, or from living in an
atmosphere surcharged with poisonous
effiuvia, the product of animal or vege-
table decomposition and we think that
the owners of pigs often make great
mistakes in not paying more attention
to the quality of their food and the CON
dition of their lodging. Decomposing
substances, both animal and vegetable,
and corn that has undergone a change
from long keeping, or exposed to damp,
and which is loaded with the sporules of
poisonous fungi, and other similar sub
stances, are often given to pigs as food,
and in many instances have been known
to cause great loss.
