Apples as Food.

From the earliest ages apples have
been in use for the table rs desert.
The historian Pliny tells us that the
Romans cultivated twenty-five varieties
of the apple. In these latter days we
probably possess over two thousand.
As an article of food, they rank with the
potato, and on account of the variety of
ways in which they may be served, they
are far preferable to the taste of many
persons and, if families would only sub
stitute ripe, luscious apples for pies,
cakes, candies, and preserved fruits,
there would be much less sickness
among the children and the saving
in this one item alone would
purchase many barrels of apples.
They have an excellent effect upon the
whole physical system, feeding the brain,
as well as adding to the flesh, and keep
ing the blood pure; also preventing
constipation and correcting a tendency
TO acidity, which produces rheumatism
and neuralgia. They will cool off the
feverish condition of the system in fact,
they are far better for these purposes
than the many nostrums which are so
highly praised in the advertisements
and SO constantly purchased bysufferers.
A ripe raw apple is entirely digested in
an hour and a half, while boiled pota-
to takes twice that time. Now that APP
pies can be purchased at such cheap
rates, every family should keep dish of
them in the dining-room, where all the
children can have access to and eat all
they please of them. They will rarely
receive any injury from them, if they
are thoroughly masticated. Baked APP
pies should be as constant q dish upon
the table as potatoes. Every breakfast
and every tea-table should have plate
of them Baked sweet apples are very
pleasing addition to a saucer of oatmeal
pudding, and when served with sweet
cream they are very appetizing. They
are not as commonly used as they should
be, as they viii supply as much muscu-
lar and nervous support az dishes of
meat and vegetable.

Diversity Of Crops in the south.


A Texas correspondent of the Prai-
RE Farmer, says:
There is no laudable excuse for not
diversifying crops in the South, because
soil, climate and temperature are all
that can be asked, except IN case OF
drouth, and then the one who has the
greatest number of crops has in proper
ton the greatest number Of chances to
bridge over the chasm and profit by the
calamity"
This is all true. The South has soils
and climate adapted to many valuable
crops that cannot succeed at all In
higher latitude. Our excellent summer
and winter grasses that will not do at all
in the North, have sufficient value in
themselves to make the Southern States
a prosperous stock raising country
The above correspondent also says:
THE farmer who diversifies his plant
ing is prepared to carry stock of every
description-hogs from which to make
his own bacon, by feeding more or less
waste; cows to furnish him delicious
milk, not chalked, from which pure but
ter can be made, despite the low price
of OIeomargarine sheep to nip the
green pastures and furnish mutton and
necessities Of warmth; horses and mules
to furnish the motive powers on the
farm, without buying every season from
drovers from cup north, although 1t Is
claimed that such stock are Of but lit
tie profit and a great deal Of touble,
still it is noticeable that those who raise
their own grain, stock and supplies are
the most Independent and prosperous Of
our class, and that feature is one for
which We are striving, and striving hard
too, under adverse circumstances, with
drouth and pestiferous insects to con-
tend with in the bargain"
The following remarks are particular
" important, and show that the Texas
writer is familiar with the road and
guide-boards where successful farmers
are found:
There is the saying of an ancient phil
osopher that 1.-THE study of mankind is
man" and we would add that the study
of a farmer is farm To diversity prof
itabIy. the farm must be studied, tested
and proven in a practicable manner,
Just as the attorney wonld study his
clients case or the physician would di-
agnose the case of his patient. Soil ,
subsoiI, slope to or from sun, drainage,
manures, etc, must be decided upon
with all the light that can be brought to
bear, for this IS an age Of progress and
we cannot afford to be caught mapping.

Organization Education.

II is an inIisputable fact that farm
ING is carried on most intelligently and
consequently most proftably in locall-
ties where the Grange or Club has
been most popular and permanent.
When we speak Of profitable farming
we do not mean simply that farmers
have made the most money, but that
they are men Of broader ideas, OF better
thinking powers, better educational at
tainmenIs, higher social relations, and,
hence, in all respects better qualified to
take part and position in the discussion
and management Of the political, finan-
cial and social questions Of the day.
No class of men is more affected by these
questions, and hence, none more inter
ested in mastering the principles under
lying them. After all it is mind that
rules the world. 1t is false idea
that capital does it. Money is in the
foreground, but back of it, in our trans
p0rtatiOn, manufacturing, tariff, and all
other monopolies, welding it with con-
summate skill for selfish ends, are
shrewd intellects, cultured in all the
schools and professions, leading, con
trolling and manipulating masses Of.
weaker and totally nnorganized men.
1t is,only through knowledge and organ
izati0n that this overshadowing mODop-
oily question can be met. 1t was nobly
begun Is years ago by imperfect and fit
full farmers organizations in the west,
and greatly aided by the most wide
spread and, probably, best planned
organization yet effected, the Grange,
as early as 1870. \ great victory was
won. The right of the people, through
State and National legislation, to con-
troll railroads, was forever established by
decisions of the highest courts. The
trouble is, the people having their rights
established, have not properly asserted
them. They never can, without better
intelligence and better organization. In
this development the Grange and the
Club will find their field of greatest
future usefulness.-Farmer's Review.

Cotton Seed.

The Tradesman says: From all por-
tions of the cotton country comes the
information that the amount of seed to
the staple is unprecedented. The
average to Mississippi. this season, is
reported to be 1000 pounds of seed to
a bale of lint, whereas other years, it
rarely exceeds 1000 pounds. The
result will be, if the same average holds
good for the entire country, a heavy
excess of production in cotton seed. 4
New Orleans exchange says the receipts
of cotton seed at that point already
amounts to 271, 181 sacks, against 49,
600 last year an increase of 81 per
cent. while the receipts Of cotton have
been increased less than 3 per cent.
