NEW VARIETIES OF APPLES.

s. A. Beach. Of the Geneva experi'
ment station, has the following CORE
spondence concerning apples in Garder
and Forest:
Switzer is a very handsome German
apple that begins to ripen about the
ISL of August. The fruit, which Is OF
medium size. is nearly white, with
beautiful blush. 1t is very good in
ravor and good in quality either for
dessert or for culinary use. The tree Is
productive.
Wuliams's Favorite is dessert fruit
that should be more widely known. Its
symmetrical form and deep red color
make it an attractive apple in market
1t Is also desirable for home use, as 1t
IS good in flavor and quality The tree
makes moderate growth and is a good
bearer
Among the october apples desirable
fer culinary use may be mentioned CoX's
Pomona II is an old variety of Eng
iisn origin. The fruit is large, highly
colored with crimson on clear, very
pale yellow ground. making it an at
Jractive market fruit The flesh is
white. crisp, subacid. 1t cooks evenly
and ranks good in quality.
Among the comparatively new or lit
tie known varieties of considerable
merit is the Sharp. The fruit resem-
bles Maiden Blush somewhat in shape
and color and is better for dessert use
than that variety. It's flesh is nearly
white. fine grained. tender, moderately
juicy, nearly sweet, of mild pleasant
flavor and very good quality; season,
October. The tree has fruited here but
three years, but 1t appears to be a good
bearer
one Of the handsomest late August
and early September apples in the sta
tion collection is the stump, which Is
excellent for market or home use. 1t
begins to ripen soon after Chenango
Strawberry, which it resembles in
shape. The tree is upright and produc-
tive. The fruit, borne on short spurs
close to the limbs. is pale yellow, beau
fully striped and shaded with red.
Flesh firm, crisp, tender, subacid. mild
in flavor.
The red Beitigheimer apple has fruit
ed here several years. While IT has
valuable qualities for culinary and
market purposes, it's flesh is rather
coarse, and it would not be called a
good dessert fruit except by those who
like a brisk subacid flavor. On account
of it's symmetrical form, large size and
handsome color no apple in the station
collection attracts more attention than
this at fairs and exhibitions. Under
good cultivation 1t is a free grower and
a regular and abundant bearer The
fruit is very large and quite apt to
drop before 1t is we'll colored This fault
is more serious with the Red Beltig-
heimer than with Wealthy, Alexander
or Gravenstein, and probably will pre-
vent it's being planted extensively in
commercial orchards.

Feed for Pigs.

Cows and hogs go we'll together. Fol-
lowing after the cattle and consuming
the skimmilk produces an animal well
adapted for breeding purposes. The
tendency of corn-fed hogs Is toward
fineness of bone and weakness of the
muscular system. Milk and clover
counteract this bad effect. By using
the proper foods two litters year can
be had from each sow. Wean the pigs
when six to eight weeks old, and feed
middlings or cornmeal and skimmilk.
Many farmers do not think 1t Is profit
able to raise two litters a year, but If
the pigs are fed milk in winter 1t is
good practice. OF course a dry, warm
stable is necessary to get best results.
While milk is the best single food
for hogs, 1 prefer to use II with other
feed. Why favorable results are OBJ
tained l cannot say, unless 1t be that
ordinary hog feed Is too concentrated,
and milk acting as a diluent increases
its value. l have always fed my milk
