Thus cried the wise man of the an
cient Hebrews, and thus has cried
many n wise man of other nations since
his time The fact is the apple is the
king of fruits. 1t is worth more than
all the other fruits raised in temperate
climates. There is something substan-
tial about the apple. II is much more
than luxury. Ii satisfies hunger and
keeps it satisfied long time. Like
bread and meat it is true food 1t does
not quickly come and suddenly vanish
like the strawberry 1t does not COM
mence to decay before it has scarcely
ripened like the banana and plantain.
1t has lasting qualities. 1t comes to
stay till other fruit can be raised to
take its place. No fruit presents SO
many varieties of size, color and flavor
as the apple. 1t accommodates itself
TO the peculiar taste Of every person.
1t is sweet, sour, and sub-acid. There
are persons who dislike strawberries,
and others who do not care for figs,
dates or peaches, but there is no one
who does not like some kind of apples.
Some fruit, like the ounce, is only
palatablc when cooked, while others
are only valuable when in the state
they are in when ripe. But the apple
is excellent whether eaten raw or
cooked. 1t can be cooked inmOrc ways
than any fruit that grows. Few kinds
of fruit surpass It for canning pur-
poses, though it is preserved so easily
and chcaply in other ways that it is
rarely kept in tight cans. For drying,
it is worth all other kinds of fruit com
bined. lis juice, ifrightly managed, is
but little inferior to that of the grape
Less time and money are required to
insure a supply of apples than Of any
kind of fruit. Trees planted in child |
hood will continue TO produce fruit till |
the planter is us old as Il patriarch
Less attention has been given TO set
ting out apple trees during the past |
few years than during corresponding .
time in the early settlement of the |
country. The decline in interest in ap |
pie culture has been largely owing 10 .
the great attention given TO utherfruitS.

can be raised should at least plant trees {
