ment is not extracted from it. The

Through a large part of the north
west the Duchess of Oldenburg apple
will be plentiful this year. 1t is often
difficult to market a surplus of this
fruit at any price owing to the fact
that this apple is very short lived. If
you have more than you can use, make
arrangements to dry them, for they
make the very choicest Kind of dried
apples. Get an apple peeler and corer
