No intelligent person can doubt
that the free use of ripe fruit is con-
ducii,e to health. On the other hand,
it is obvious that fruits as an exclu-
sive article Of diet do not meet all the
wants of the system. The chemistry
of the apple, the pear, the tomato,
the grape, ETC., is well understood,
and it can be stated how much nutri'
ment or asslmilable food each is capa

swer all the questions connected with
the subject of the healthfulness Of
fruit. Besides furnishing Dutrimeni,
fruit exerts other influences upon the
animal economy Of the highest i'm
portance. The acids of fruit are no
properly nutritive substances, but
they produce physiological effects of
cooling or corrective nature which are
highly salutary.
Fruits are largely composed Of
water, and this fluid has come to them
through extraordinary channels. The
tiny root-fbres have collected it 10
the dark earth, and by vital action it
has been forced through the most
minute tubes, until it is finally deposit
ed in the fruit cells. So far as we
know, the water undergoes no modi-
fications it is water in the soil, and it
is the same in its wonderful associa--
tions in fruits. 1t however holds

Piles which modify its physical appear

water contained in fruits is in itself an
advantage as it aids in cleaning the
alimentary canal and the other excre-
tory ducts, and thus promotes healthy
action.
Fruits are capable of sustaining life
for long periods, but the lack Of tho
heterogeneous elements detracts from
their strength. giving power, and any
one living exclusively upon them
would not be able to labor effectively.
We have heard of the man who row.

We were glad to sell the products of

as good. The rich and the poor can
indulge in this noble fruit, to the
greatest possible extent. at small cost
If the fruit is largely consumed, in
connection with proper proportion

REMEDIES.
Ifmy experience the past season is
that from which remedies are to be
suggested, 1 have little to offer, for
with the squash bug and squash borer
I evidently came out second best. Fol
the first, nothing 1 tried did much goo
save catching all could find and kin
ing them. did not try Paris green,
however, and presume that might have
been a good remedy, not only for this
hut for the striped cucumber beetle
While the indiscrininate use OF this
drug cannot be recommended, as it is
unsafe to use it where it is likely to gel
upon fruit that is to be eaten, can see
no harm in using it upon any OF these
vines before the fruit begins to FORM
Kerosene, unless in contact with them,
has no effect on squash bugs. 1 know
of no remedy for the squash borer that
does not contemplate destruction oil
the vines. lfall vines were burnt as
soon as found willing from this cause,
the borers would be less numerous the
succeeding year. Gathering and de-
stroying all fruit found to be infested
with the pickle worm is about the best
remedy for that insect.
