Improving the Apple Crop.

The American apple crop is RAPIDLY
becoming the leading crop of the Uni
ted States so far as actual returns are
concerned. and our exports of these
fruits are growing larger and more
valuable every year. No grain or
other farm product Is more generally
or more widely cultivated than the
apple. This fruit is by all odds our
national fruit. 1t is raised from
Maine to Florida now, and from the
Atlantic TO the Pacific II Is eaten In
every American home almost the year
round, and England and Germany are
rapidly initiating us In the matter OF
consumption. Our apples sell better
in the European markets than any OF
the continental fruits, and the prices
thus obtained help to swell the returns
to our farmers on lands where wheat
and corn fail through drought, or
where these cereals cannot be raised
successfully.
The question OF improving the quail
ity Of our apples, and increasing the
yield, is one that more farmers are
actually interested In than that of i'm
proving corn or wheat, Injury to the
apple crop may not cause such ruinous
disaster to some few States as corn or
wheat, but 1t will reach a wider num-
Der OF farmers in the whole country.
One of the perplexing questions in ap-
pie growing is the dropping off OF
fruits when very small or half grown.
The waste of apples from this cause
alone is enormous. Spraying win not
stop the loss, for the cause seems to be
deeper than the attacks Of insects and
biights. There IS theory that the
blossoms are not properly fertilized,
and that the fruit cannot consequently
ever reach maturity. The apples are
doomed TO fall off when half grown
and be wasted. Some experiments
have been made recently that help to
confirm this theory. In large orchard
where the dropping Off was a serious
handicap to successful apple raising
the attempt was made to prove or dis
prove this theory. Right in the midst
Of the orchard, which was of fifty
acres, score or Deehiyes were located.
The bees literally swarmed In the or
chard at blooming time, and the In
sects buzzed around the blossoms in
swarms. There was little more done
to the orchard other than that of or
dinary spraying. That year the fruit
yield was from ten TO twenty per cent
higher than common. The second and
third year the same practice was kept
up, and the increase was even more
apparent. In that orchard. ut least.

SICK" but 1t is not quite plain what
exact condition should be understood
by that term. We incline to the belief
that the cause of the trouble IL to be
found in the fact that the soil has be-
come corrupt with fungi, and perhaps
insect enemies. The fermentation of
organic matter in such soil Is unusu-
ally favorable to the generation and
propagation of lower form of life, the
parasitic nature Of which will not give
much chance for the development Of
the higher forms on which they feed.
SO much for theory. What we would
do In practice is to give the soil a
thorough change In feed and treat
ment. withhold barnyard manure or
any other organic fertilizer entirely.
and perhaps change the crops for e
few years. To dispose OF injurious
fungi and insects we would make lib
eral applications OF air-slacked lime, or
the refuse of lime kilns, and perhaps
try a light sprinkling Of sulphate of
iron (green copperas) well pulverlZed.
If nitrogenous manure were thought
necessary for any crop we would use
only nitrate of soda, and in any case
would only grow those crops for a
year or two that have seemed to be
least affected by the unfayorable soil
conditions.-The Epitomist.

In an article in the Delineator on
"Girls' Interests and Occupations" the
following description is given of
profitable business that has been dis
covered by q practical girl:
She makes sandwiches for teas. re-
ceptions, card parties, stag parties and
chlldren's parties, as well as for tray-
elers luncheon baskets, and makes
over twenty-five varieties AT first
thought it may seem a very ordinary
Il after TO make Il sandwich, but not
so when one must satisfy delicate and
fsstidious tastes or make up Il richly
seasoned little article which will either
Tlet the appetite or satisfy its cray-
ings. Skill and refinement, n knowl-
edge of delicious combinations which
WI please the palate, an eye for pret-
ty effects in shapes, and the neatest
and daintiest OF methods, are among
tfn secret of success. The use of the
ve.y best butter and materials is of
importance. Careful packing IN par.
rciinc paper Is necessary when the
sandwiches are being sent 10 their
Gcstination. Fanciful shapes are the
diamond and heart for card parties.
S,rips, trlangles ard circles are favor
tics for teas. Among the various
kinds made by this busy girl are the
cream cheese, nasturtium, chopped
aaltcd almond, walnut, sardine, an
ctoYy. cucumber, lettuce and olive
sandwiches. She never puts q slice OF
meat in sandwich. Chicken is pound
cd and only the breast used. ham is
chopped fine and the seasonings are
piquant and delightful, or highly hav-
ored foreign cheeses are used for stag
parties.
The golf sandwich is new. 1t is

olives, minced lettuce and water cress,

aesthetic sandwich is an idea imported
from England. 1t is the rose. the
violet or the nasturtlum by name and
is made by shutting fresh, unsalted
butter in tight jar with the flowers
for several hours. The butter absorbs
the flavor and is spread on bread
which has been treated In the same
manner. Home made bread, u day
old, is used by this busy girl for her
little trade. She makes it and bakes
1t, and it is of delicious quality, cut
thin as u wafer for the sandwiches
and crusts not used. Jam sandwiches
are rolled and are delicious when
made OF raspberry, orange ounce or
spiced crushed currants. The girl who
provides all these dalnties has placed
them on sale ut one of the exchanges
for women's work and receives plenty
of orders, beside supplying many pri-
yate customers as well.

The law in regard to bees Is thus

but his statements seem reasonable
and to be founded on equity. a swarm
of bees leaving a hive and not lost

ages to the property of another TO get
them or to cut tree or even branch
20 hive them. a swarm of bees upon
n tree, or even seen flying through the
air, may be claimed by the finder If
the original owner is not known or
does not follow them up, but they
must be kept in sight by the claimant,
a swarm Of bees wild in tree belongs
TO the finder II he marks his name on
the tree, before it can be cut or In any
way damaged to secure the bees or the
honey, yet the owner of the tree is not
supposed to own either bees or honey
if they have been previously found
and claimed by another party. Thus
some friendly agreement is best policy
for both parties, lest they get the
tLSgs and the lawyers have the honey.

An ExperIence win wintor 1ambs.

Much attention Is necessary to raise
lambs successfully for the winter and
early spring trade. In the first place
secure ewes of n good lamb producing
strain, preferably belonging to one OF
the mutton breeds. There is some diff
Guilty in having the lambs come at the
right time. They should be dropped
from the beginning of October TO the
middle of November. This gives them
an opportunity to get start before
very cold weather sets in. The ewes
also give milk much more freely than
than later. If the weather is fine the
lambs may he allowed to run in the
yard or pasture a few hours every day.
If some green feed such as rye. rape
or mustard can be provided they will
do well. The lambs must not be al
lowed to remain out in cold or wet
weather.
The ewes should be provided with an
unlimited supply of good feed, espe
clally when confped to the barn. ST!
lage and clover hay with an OCCASION
al feed OF shredded cornstalks should
comprise the roughage. As grain ra-
ton use mixture of linseed and cot

corn and bran. Oats are fine feed, but
as a rule are too high in price in this
part OF the country.
l like basement barn with q south
ern exposure for sheep. This can be
kept at an even temperature, but must
be well ventilated and free from
drafts, with 4 thoroughly dry floor.
The floor must be well bedded and
kept perfectly clean. The ewes should
be divided into small lots of not more
than twenty, so they will not crowd at
the trough. They should also have
plenty Of trough and rack room.
Those with twins should be placed in
a separate inclosure, as they will re-
quire more feed than the others. The
lambs should have a separate pen
where they can go to be fed, and
should be given corn, llnseed meal,
cornmeal and beans, with plenty Of
good clover hay.
Sheep should always have plenty Of
water and salt. 1t is best 20 have this
where they can get at 1t at any time.
Winter lambs require a great deal of
attention, and unless this can be given
do not attempt to raise them. How
ever, they usually sell for high prices

The angular writing possesses one
merit, that of being easily distin-
guishable Contrasted with the fine,
light, slanting italian handwriting
that was the fashion for women thir-
ty or forty years ago, the writing. OF
the modern woman shows a remark
able change. Even ten or fifteen
years ago the school girl who wrote
with a heavy black stroke OF the
pen was considered at fault, while ex-
tremcly light or delicately shaded
Spencerian penmanship was commend

nowadays The blacker the writing
the more character ii is supposed to
possess, Just as the sketches OF some
artists who are lavish with their In

1t was quite a fad with women OF
long ago to cross their four and five
page letters Of finely traced writing.
Such letter to-day would be unde-
clpherable TO modern eyes. There is
no need for the average woman to
cross her letters nowadays, as they
are as brief as possible. The long
soulful outpourings with pen and ink
between women friends are no longer
INDUCED in. 1t has been said that the
art Of letter writing has completely
died out, and that there are no more
