ties Late sorts rarely need to be har-
vested before there is danger of heavy
lrosts, but with early varieties much
care Is needed. These should remain
on the trees until mature, but not until
they are quite ripe or mellow. Every
truit grower should look closely to each
variety, and ascertain when it has
gained all it can from the tree. Every
day after this is loss. Early fruit

packed with good fruit at the top, and
the same all through. There is profit
IN early fruits, especially apples, and
those who propose to grow them
should visit the markets, and observe
what Kinds are most salable, and which
arrive in best order. Peach growers
should engage experienced pickers; all

peaches pays; make them into three
qualities, frsts and seconds to go to
market, and the third to be kept at

honestly. Select fine specimens of fruit

Insects must not be forgotten. Tack

Apple Pomace AS a Stock Food,

My double-platform, knuckle-joint
press stands over a basement cellar
where the pomace Is thrown from the
cloth. 1t lies unprotected from the
weather, and my cows and colts have
free access to it. They did not acquire
much taste for it until the pile had ac-
cumulated enough to heat and render
the apple seeds soft. 1t then emitted
a sweet and pleasant odor About six
weeks seemed to be required to produce
this condition. When the cattle began
to eat it they would remain at the pile
about twenty minutes, and then, SEEM
ingly satisfied, would leave, returning
two or three times during the day.
Much Of the pomace was wasted by
treading it under foot, and a roof SEEM
ed necessary, with base wall to pre-
vent the stock from walking over it.
II apple-pOmace enlisage Is to be fed
In winter, It must also be protected
from frost When 1t is thawed after
freezing, stock eat It as freely as any
rood After my stock have become ac-
customed to 1t, they eat at all times.

The meeting at the Arlington par
lors this evening will probably result
in some definite course being taken to
give permanence to the expression of
patriotism among the British res,
dents here and their high respect and
love for their sovereign. There are
two plans on the tapis. The one to
which most attention has been called
is the establishment of hospital for
incurables. If there are funds in sight
to put this on a permanent basis it
would be most excellent method of
concentrating the sixtieth anniver-
sary of a reign that marks an epoch
in English history, reign unequalled
for it's beneficence and for its success
But whatever is done let it be in such
a form that it does not depend upon
future possibilities. The monument
must be permanent from, its incep
ton.
