TALK ABOUT APPLES.
Almost from Time TmmemorfaI Their
WhOlesOmeness Has Been known
and Recognised.

The apple contains a larger percent
age of phosphorus than any other
fruit or vegetable. This phosphorus
is admirably adapted for renewing
the essential nervous matter, lethicin
of the brain and spinal cord. The old
Scandinavian traditions represent the
apple as the food of the gods, who,
when they felt themselves to be grow
ing old and feeble and infirm, resorted
to this fruit for renewing their pow
ers of mind and body. The acids of
the apple are also of signal use for men
of sedentary habits whose livers are
sluggish in action. These acids serve
to eliminate from the body noxious
matters, which, if retained, would
make the brain heavy and dull or bring
about jaundice or skin eruptions and
other allied troubles. The ancient
practice of taking apple sauce with
roast pork, rich goose and like dishes
is based on scientific reasons. The
malic acid of ripe apples, either raw
or cooked, will neutralize any excess
of chalky matter engendered by eating
too much meat. Fresh fruits, such as
the apple. the pear and the plum. when
taken ripe and without sugar, diminish
acidity in h stomach rather than
provoke it. Their vegetable salts and
juices are converted into alkaline car
Donates, which tend to counteract
acidity. A good, ripe, raw apple is one
of the easiest of vegetable substances
for the stomach to deal with, the
whole process of its digestion being
completed in IS minutes. Besides
these medicinal qualities of the apple.
it has great virtue for local applica-
tons. The pairing of an apple cut
somewhat thick is an ancient remedy
for inf1amed eyes, being tied on at
night when the patient goes to bed.
In France a common remedy for in
famed eyes is an apple poultice, the
apple being roasted and its pulp ap-
piled over the eyes without any inter-
vening substance.-Chicago Record.

FAIR PROFIT IN VEAL.
A source of Income That Is
Iy Neglected by Many West
ern Dairymen.

Too many make a mistake in not
raising calves until of an age to sell
for veal. 1t is a question with me
whether it does not pay better to keep
calves until near Christmas and then
sell. One thing is sure. Let a farmer
once work up an honestt trade for such
meat, and, like genuine fresh eggs or
giIt-edged butter, he could put on a
stiff price and still find a ready mar
ket.
Most farmers in this section kill
their calves when a day or two old, and
sell the hides for 60 cents or 81, accord
ing to size and weight, while the moth
er's milk must go to the pigs for some
time, as it is not fit for butter or
cheese. Now, why not adopt the prac-
tice hat is beginning to come in vogue
here of feeding this milk TO calves un-
til fit for use anywhere, then giving
warm, sweet skimmilk with a little
finely ground grain mixed in as the
calf grows older? Soon one will have
an animal on hand with a decided mar
ket value.
Calves must be kept dry if they are
to thrive, and a run on the ground in
the open air is as good for them as an
occasional tonic is for their owners.
My father always fed a little sulphur
about once a week, and never remem-
Der his losing a calf with the disease
called blackleg. A little salt in the feed
once in awhile is also good for them.
We turn them out into a dry, we'll
fenced piece of meadow as soon as the
weather is warm enough, and provide
a good shelter from the sun and storm.
Unless there can be running water in
their quarters it is kept in a trough for
them and removed every day. They
are well fed, and it is surprising how
soon they attain marketable size

Up to 1s99-190O no sweet potatoes
had been shipped to foreign ports,
SO far as we are able to gather from
the official statement of expectations.
Sweet potatoes are not produced to
any considerable extent in Europe,
and as a general thing the Europeans
have not developed a taste for the
tuber mentioned. 1t is reported that
they are planted in a small way in
the south of Spain. What few are
imported are in the nature of lux
uries and have been brought from
the. Canary islands and Africa. In
1899 some American growers made a
few trial shipments to England,
where they began to win their way.
Probably the Americans resident in
foreign countries will be the first
and best customers, and their exam
pie will be followed by others.

Pasture sheds for stock.

The observer, travelling through the
western states, will note with a great
deal of wonder sometimes the number
of stock pastures without any shed or
covering for the stock. In pastures
where there is o a natural shade we
would by all means urge the erection
of at least temporary sheds. If these
are located upon little knobs about
the pasture, it will be not only a saw
ing of feed, but also of flesh, as the
beasts will seek these sheds and rest
during the hottest part of the day. It
is unmerciful, to say the least, to not
provide sheds for stock that is turned
out into the open fields.-Pra1rle
