THE REMEDIAL USES OF APPLES.

In all temperate climates the apple
grows freely, and might be obtained
in practically unlimited quantities.
That 1t is not more used than it is is
probably due to the fact that, being
so plenty, it is undervalued. Yet al-
most every one likes the fruit in some
fashion, and it should form part OF
at least two meals out of every three
during the year round; for even when
the fresh fruit is not in season, canned,
dried or "evaporated" apples may al
ways be had.
Chemically" says q writer in the
North American Practitioner, "the
apple is composed of vegetable fibre,
albumen, sugar, gum, chlorophyl,
mslic acid, gallo acid, lime and water.
Furthermore, the German analysts say
that the apple contains larger per-
centage of phosphorus than any other
fruit or vegetable. The phosphorus
is admirably adapted for renewing the
essential nervous matter-lecithin-
of the brain and spinal cord. It is
perhaps for this reason-though but
rudely understood-thatt the old Scan
dinavian traditions represent theapple
rs the food of the gods who. when
they felt themselves to be growing
feeble and inirm, resorted to this
fruit to renew their powers of mind
and body"
Not only the phosphorus, but the
acids of tho apple are of singular use
for persons of sedentary habits,
whose livers are apt to be too slow Of
action. These acids aid the liver in
its work of eliminating from the body
the noxious matters which, if retained,
would make the brain heavy and dull,
or, in time, would cause rheumatism,
iaundice, or skin eruptioDs, and other
allied troubles.
The malic acid of apples, either raw
or cooked, will neutralize any excess
of chalky matter engendered by eating
too much meat.
Ripe apples are probably the least
fermentable of all fruits, except, pos
sibly, the banana. For this reason
ripe and sound apples may be eaten
by most persons in even the hottest
weather; hut even the apple is safest
when cooked.
We have the support of eminent
medical authority in saying that the
most healthful way to cook apples is
to pare and core them, and bake in o
moderate oven. If the apple is OF o
quite sour variety it may be necessary
to add little sugar, putting about q
saltspoonful in the hollow whence the
core was extracted. The next best way
to cook them is stewing. Contrary to
common belief, apples baked in thei,
skins are the least healthful of cooked
apples. -Harper's Bazaar.

POTATOES FOR COWS.

| POTATOES FOR COWS.
The Veterinary School OF Lyons,
France, has been making some expert
ments in the use OF potatoes for feed
ing dairy COWS. The results are sum-
married. as follows
Dairy COWS, when deprived of oil
other nourishment than potatoes
| (which should be given raw and cut)
will consume per day an average of
seven per cent. of their live weight.
Under the influence of this exclusive
regimen there was an increase in tho
quantity of milk and notable loss in
live weight; this result was very clear
and remarkable. Cooked potatoes
were more readily taken by the cat
tie, but when they were given alone,
and every other form of nourishment
was excluded, rumination was affected
or stopped, and digestion was him
dered. The use of cooked potatoes
could not, therefore, be persisted in.
Whether they are raw or cooked,
potatoes should be mixed with some
other food to constitute convenient
ration, both from the double point of
view of milk production and for fat
tening purposes. This mixture of ra-
tions is also favorable to the mechan-
ical and chemical acts of digestion.
From observations on lot of dairy
COWS fed with ration of which pota-
toes formed the half of the total dry
matter, and on another lot where they
only formed twenty-five per cent, it
was fully recognized that the first or
larger quantity was clearly preferable
to the second or smaller. From other
experiments it appeared that raw po-
tatoes favored the production of milk,
while an equal quantity which had
been cooked fattened and increased
the weight of the animals. Under the
influence of ration OF which cooked
potatoes formed the basis, the amount
of sugar in the milk was found to rise,
but the increase did not continue
when the ration was changed.
An analysis was made weekly during
nearly four months of Q) the milk of
eight COWS whose ration contained
about forty-four pounds of potatoes
and ~ of another lot to which twenty
two pounds had been given. In the
first case there was decrease of dem
sity of the proportion of dry extract
and caseine, and in the second an in
crease of butter and mineral matters.
The practical use of these experiments
On the introduction of the potato into
the ration of dairy cattle will be regu-
lated by the fact of the milk being
sold off the farm or used for butter or
cheese making,

A DROUGHT. PROOF CROP.

Lucky is the farmer who in this year
Of droughts has planted some sorghum
as a fodder crop. 1t is much better
to resist protracted drought on ac-
count of roots striking deeply into
the soil, while corn is shallow rooted,
and suffers whenever dry weather
comes. At the West, where droughts
are much more severe than here, sor-
ghum is commonly planted for feed
ing. It's early growth is slow, but so
soon as its roots strike down the stalks
shoot upward, and two months after
planting the sorghum will be larger
and yield more tons per acre than will
any kind of corn. n.-Boston Cultivator.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Are you moving around the same
bushes that you were twenty years
ago?
Remember shade trees in too great
profusion injure the quality OF the
grass.
Are you plowing about the same
little swale that you wore twenty
years ago?
Do not make the horse carry heavy
halter in addition to the bride when
at work on hot day.
Time put into farm improvements is
better patrimony than money in the
bank for your children.
That pasture needs drainage for
either sheep or for COWS if health and
best results are to be expected.
Are you not wasting time that, if
applied, would in few years fit your
farm for all modern machinery?
The demand for good riding horses
will increase in proportion to tho i'm
provement in the horses produced.
The friends of the busy bee main
tain that it would pay to keep o few
colonies to pollenize the blossoms of
fruit trees.
Are you plowing around that same
rock, that an hours time would re.
move, that you have plowed around
for twenty years?

age Of the strawberry plant is not an

The wealthy people Of our great
cities are getting to appreciate the
pleasures of horseback ride, They
are the ones who pay good prices for
horses when they find what they want.
A practical dairyman suggests that
two or three doses of saltpetre, one
tablespoonful for dose, is remedy
for ropy milk. Ropy milk, however,
seldom results unless the COW is mllked
too soon after calving; it disappears
later on.
Sometimes eggs are laid at night
while the hens are on the roost. The
cause is weakened state of the egg.
producing organs; the result of over.
feeding and lack of exercise. Hens
which are unable to hold their eggs
are usually too fat.
A practical berry grower says that
quartz acre garden, we'll arranged,
set to best.varieties and properly cared
for, should yield at least twenty five
bushels of berries. In NO other way
can n farmer produce so much OF value
with SO little labor as in garden OF
small fruits.
A writer says that many fail to un-
derstand while yet it is the fact, that
when COWS are on good pasturage is
when they need salt the most. The
better plan is to keep the supply in a
convenient place where they can help
themselves. One advantage with rock
salt is that it does. not waste to any
great extent if left exposed.
The owner of small farm who
keeps only one or two cows is more
interested, or should be, in having
choice animals than those who owr
large focks. Ono good COW will serve
the purpose of two inferior ones, and
where space is limited every additional
quart of milk or pound of butter ii
quito an item with the keeping Of {

SMALL FnocKs OF POULTRY.

Farmers often keep too many hens
in one place. Fifty is all that should
be kept in one flock as the food will
cost less, and more eggs will be laid
in winter than if 100 are kept. The
right way to do, where more than
fifty fowls are to be kept, is to have
another in some out-of-the- place.
II the houses are two or three hundred
yards apart, fences will not be re-
quired. The houses need not be
expensive, and most farmers have old
lumber lying around, or an old shed
that ought to be tern down, and all
this can be worked into the poultry
houses. The houses should, at least,
be twenty-five by fifteen feet for fifty
fowls. Have the roof firm and tight,
and then line the house inside with
good, stout building paper. Little
cracks in the sides of house or damp
ness is the cause of sick fowls during
the winter season. The front and south
side of the house should be seven OF
eight feet high and have two ordinary
sized house windows therein, while
the back or north side should be foul
or five feet high. The reason why
the house should be large, light and
dry, is because during the cold OF
stormy days of winter the fowls should
be confined therein and if plenty o.
litter is kept on the floor, and small
grains are buried under this, the fowl.
will be kept busy and happy NIL day
This means plenty OF eggs, and plenty
of eggs in winter means plenty o
money just when money is mos
needed. Do not be afraid of shutting
the house up Us tight Us possible a
night, but during the day, when tht
hens are confined. open the windows
and give plenty of air, using wire net
ting to keep tho fowls from flying out
1t m ust be remembered that hens art
dressed just as heavily in the daytim'
as at night, and if kept too warm dur
ing the day they will feel the cold o
night more, AMI sickness will be th,
result. The droppings should be KEEP
by themselves aud not be allowed t,
be scratched all over the floor, AM
the roosts should be all on level ant
not more than eighteen inches or tw,
feet up from the floor. The roost
should be three or four inches wide.

The bright, hot sun produces mildew,
