possible to extend the time
much to the advantage of the Amer
lean fruit shipper. While the bulk of
our apples are now disposed of by the
end of January, thousands of barrels
are not sent over till late winter and
early spring, when they bring still
better price. It may be interesting
to note that even in May and June
of 19O3-months in which no apples
are generally exported-the exporta-
lions amounted to over 10000 barrels.
The apples exported are mostly
raised in Northern United States, and
are shipped mainly from Boston, New
York and Portland. Boston and New
York handle over 80 per cent of the
entire trade. San Francisco is, how
ever, developing into quite an export
ing center for apples, between 10000
and $4,000 barrels going out every
year to Australia, China and Japan.
About 400 car loads of apples-mostly
Newton pippins-are now annually
shipped from California eastward
across the continent and sent to Eng
land, where they are very popular.
The English market wants green or
yellow apple, while the Germans pre-.
fer red and the French russell A re-
cent report of the department of sta
tistics Of the United States shows that
we are exporting apples to 81 nations
or dependencies; but that our great
market is Great Britain, which takes
annually over 80 per cent Of our en-
tire exports. Germany takes about
10000 barrels year, but France as
yet takes only about 1000 barrels.
During the last fiscal year Europe
paid American fruit growers over four
million dollars for apples. The apple
contains about "a per cent of water
and six per cent of sugar, which
means that 80 per cent of this fruit
is produced from water and air. This
makes profitable combination to sell
abroad. 1t pleases the Europeans and
keeps the fertility in our farms. 1t
isn't every nation that can change
water and blue sky into red-cheeked
apples.-Farmers' Review.

What the Test Showed.

What the Test Showed.
Prof. e. H. Pennington, in an ad-
dress at a farmers institute in Mani
toba. said:
It was with the hope of helping
farmers and Of illustrating the con-
dition of some dairy herds that we
undertook, some four years ago, to
begin testing the cows of the patrons
supplying milk to the Wisconsin Dairy
School. These patrons keep COWS and
deliver milk to the factory in the same
way as is customary at the creameries
and cheese factories throughout the
state. They do not have large herds
and it was observed during the past
year that the cows owned by one hun.
dred of them were probably similar to
the one million In the state. Only
eight out of the one hundred patrons
kept more than twenty cows and thir-
ty-flve owned from two to five cows
only. This shows that the majority
of our patrons do not pretend to be
dairymen in the sense Of making the
production of milk a serious business
and fear that there are many far
mers in so-called dairy districts who
do not allow the cows to make much
of an impression on their minds; 9th
er lines of farming crowd the cows out
so that they receive only a little at
tention at milking time.
The cows on one farm were tested
for three years. The average receipts
per cow in 1898, from the creamery,
were 5000; in 1900, 1920, and in
1901, 1882. The figures do not show
much indication that the owner has
profited by the tests. Two cows that
did not produce milk enough to pay a
profit on their feed were kept in the
herd for three years, and five other
cows produced less than $50 worth of
butter in a year. The annual pro-
duction of the mature cows during the
three years shows that the poor cows
did not improve from year to year, but
continued to give less milk than re-
quired to pay for the feed consumed.
The one good cow was equally per-
sistent in doing we'll. The creamery
value Of her milk for three years was
5000. This is $110 more than the cost
Of her feed when we take $50 per year
as the value of cows feed. The but
ter produced by the other five cows
tested for three years amounted to
only STA more than the cost of their
feed during the same time. The milk
of one cow, therefore, paid the owner
within four dollars as much profit in
three years as the milk Of five cows
in the same herd for the same length
OF time. In another herd the excess
OF butter over cost of feed of two
cows was worth $50, while that of
five other cows was worth only $5S.
Thus the owner received at the cream
cry 81 less for the milk of five cows
than he did for that of two in the
same herd. The entire herd of twelve
cows owned by one farmer only paid
profit Of SITS in year and three of
the twelve cows paid $50 of this
amount, leaving $25 as the combined
profit OF the other nine cows in the
herd. Another herd of twelve cows
paid a profit of 1928 in year, but in
this herd there was one COW that
earned only 81 profit and another that
earned $31 profit, difference of about
400 per cent in the annual butter value
OF these two cows to their owner.

MUSK FOR TYPHOID FEVER
Great Cost, However, VIII Prevent
It's Coming Into Gem
eral Use.

Musk Is known To the average per-
son merely as the basic principle Of
certain perfumes. Even TO many med
ical men a knowledge OF It's qualities
does not extend beyond this fact. yet
Cro0kshank. Of London, has recently
demonstrated conclusively that IL Is
an unrivaled remedy in the treatment
OF typhoid fever and diphtheria and
Is invaluable as stimulating tonic
for the brain. acting as II does when
conveyed by the blood stream with a
powerful invigoratins effect on the
nerve cells OF the lower brain.
Though IL would prove a boon 10
brain workers or anyone suffering at
any time from brain flag. its great cost
will prevent general use Of Il. for
its action is transitory and the doses
must be large and frequent in order &c
have the desired effect
The musk used in the western world
comes direct from China and Is usual
ly shipped TO England. whence IL Is
distributed to other civilized countries
The grains OF musk are contained in a
pod or husk. In preparing the musk
for commercial and medical uses the
pods are cut with scissors and the
grains shaken out after which the po1
is stretched and scrsped with fine
knife.
IL is only the first grade OF musk
that is valuable as a medicine and its
value Is vastly greater than that OF
gold. for its export price is s25 a dram,
or $500 aH ounce.
owing to the great cost Of pure musk
substitutions OF the inferior grades are
not uncommon. and in administering
It as a medicine. particularly as a
brain tonic, this tendency toward sub
stitution IL one OF the hardest things
TO guard against. In cases where II is
used as a stimulant for a tired brain
the dose is five grains every two hours,
and In most instances not less than
three or four doses are necessary be-
fore the desired result Is produced. a
complete invigoration, though It's
beneficial results will be noticeable
from the first administration. As
there are so grains In a dram, each
dose OF this valuable medicine is worth
trifie over 81. but those who have
taken II aver that II Is worth ten times
that much for its splendid effect on the
brain cells.

An Amazing Waste.

On an average the drink cost of each

This stands for an amazing waste not
only OF money but OF vital foi 'es OF the
nation. The encouraging side OF this
dark picture is the fact that the
amount expended has been decreasing
steadily for the last five years and was
ten per cent less in 1904 than In 1899.
