Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
Of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion reallyfeeds
md gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow

YnoHT ELEVATION OF FRUIT HYAPoRAToR.
[showing pairing shed. bleacher and en-
trance to drying room1
In case Of bitter rot the diseased fruit
may be used up before 1t communicates
surrounding fruit An evuporator, SIM
pie In design and suited for practical
purposes, was described recently by
L. A. Goodman of the Missouri station,
who has had wide experience in apple
growing and eyaporatlng. Mr.. Goodman
states that all that Is required are a
plain frame building made of boxing
well battened, Slated upper floor
about six feet above tho ground for
the fruit and q stove on the lower floor.
Almost any old. plain building may
easily be converted into an eyaporator,
aud cheap, rough sheds may be built
for the fruit and pairing machines. This
Is all that Is needed except the bleach
er. The building should be about "a by
% feet and twelve feet to tho caves
and will require no bottom floor. 1t
should be made OF good dry ! by u
inch boxing twelve feet long and Sc
curely battened. The floor joists should
be placed about six feet above the
groxnd and be by G inches and twelve
feet long, resting upon a support in the
center Of the building. A building II
by II feet or 10 by 16 feet would be
large enough for most farmers or fruit
mon
The upper floor should be made of
stats an inch square and beveled to
prevent the fruit from clogging. These
are nailed to the joists three eighths to
half an inch apart to allow the hot air
to pass UP through tho fruit which Is
spread on this floor. The whole space
on this floor should be used for drying.
Entrance to the room Is by stairs on
the outside. One or two ventilators in
the ridge Of the roof will be necessary
to carry of tho moist hot air. Two
large stoves with large drums and
plenty Of pipe on the ground floor will
answer for the furnace, and IL the dry
ing room is but II by IL feet or 10 by
10 feet one stove will be sufficient. The
stoves should be so arranged that they
may be fired from the outside. Fruit

Apple Storage

Apple storage Is not always prohta-
BILE. 1t In an insurance against the pre-
mature deterioration of the fruit, but
when the picking season Is unusually
hot and there are delays In getting the
fruit into storage the subsequent losses
are sometimes very heavy. On the 9th
or hand, the autumn may be unusually
cool and favorable for storing large
quantities of apples in common storage.
AS a result the markets are well sup
piled with this fruit through the win
ter, causing the cold storage stock to be
held back till late in the season, when
1t has to be rushed on the market and
sold at a sacrifice on account of the
approaching warm weather and the
free use of southern early fruits.
