A Maine farmer suggests this use OF
surplus apples;
If one has large boiler (and every
farmer should have 6ne) the most
profitable way to use up the poor, un-
salable apples Is TO boil them and mix
with shorts and little Indian meal
and feed the mixture TO cows. Ii Is
much better than apple pomaee and
viii save both hay and grain. Ii Is
healthful. easily digcsted and VIII
cause a large low OF milk.
one spoonful Of soda to bushel or
apples added while cooking, will take
away all the sharp sourness. Use the
common baking soda. 1t will remove
all the injurious effects of sour apples,
giving the mass sweet taste. and, be-
sides. the apples will cook more quick
