Sweet and Sour Apples.

Just why some should be sweet and some
sour is a puzzle. The malic acid which
gives it the sour taste seems to be in about
the same proportion in the unripe as in the
ripe apples; the difference in sweetness
seems to arise from the change of feculent
or starchy matter into sugar as the ripen-
ing process proceeds. But, though the
chemist can tell us the exact elements
that go to make sugar, he cannot make
sugar for US. No power but that of the
living plant can do it, and we are absolute
ly in the dark as to how the plant gets it
done.
Possibly the climate has some influence
on the acting vital power, for the Rhode
Island Greening apple, a sour apple in the
Atlantic states, is sweet apple on the
Pacifc-and the same apple will often have
part of the same fruit sweet on one side
and sour on the other. These cases are
generally attributed to some one in the
past having split a branch through a bud,
then fitting the sweet apple half to the hall
of the sour apple bud, and grating the
spliced graft. This is regarded as an in.
genious afterhouSht. Those who have
directly gone and repeated the experiment
have had no such result.-Thomas Meehan
in Philadelphia Ledger.
