POINTS ON APPENDICITIS.
Jersey School Superintendent Turns
Loose on vermiform Mis-
information.

Many q layman has been "stumped"
In trying to master the intricacies of the
vermiform appendix. But let everybody
take heart, says the New York Sun.
In an aristocratic New Jersey suburb
recently the superintendent OF public
schools was visiting a grade while lesson
in physiology was being demonstrated.
The teacher was explaining the construc-
ton Of the spinal column. She compared
it to string of beads in order to show its
formation, and drew diagram for further
illumination.
When the lesson was finished, the super
intendent suggested that most impor.
tant feature Of the spinal column had not
been explained.

STATUS OF APPLE INDUSTRY
A Branch of Farm Industry That
Has Grown to Very Large
Proportions.

Apple growing as an industry has
had a striking growth during the last
half century. Previous to that time 1t
was an incidental auxiliary to the
more important agriculture practices
of stock raising and grain farming.
Each farmer had few trees about the
house which furnished him what fruit
he wanted and he made little attempt
to distribute his surplus to other parts
of the country or even his neighbor-
hood.
But with the advent Of the railroad
lit became possible to send this fruit
some distance and put it on remote
markets in good shape. This gave oc-
Icasion fer the growing of apples as
lwell as other perishable products on a
commercial scale, and, as result, dur
ling the past few decades, large plant
ings have been made, especially in the
central states.
The census of 1900 showed that then
there were more than 200 millions of
bearing apple trees IN the country. OF
this large number about sixty-flve mil
lions were in the eastern or Atlantic
states, thirteen millions in the west
ern division and the remainder, VI
about two-thirds of the whole plant
ing, was in the central states. OF this
number our own state furnishes ap-
proximately eleven millions OF trees
This has been the result of more OF
less specialization. and to-day thai
same factor is developing a system o.
apple marketing that promises 10 de
quite as much in demanding an in
crease in the acreage of this fruit al
did the coming of the steam road. Evi
dence OF it can now be seen in tn
modern refrigerator cars and ships
cold storage, etc. When they have beel
developed so as to give satisfactor,
service on a large scale we shall no
simply have apples few months on
of the year, but one crop can be KEEP

CARING FOR THE COLT.
should BE Remembered In
His Training.

There are several practical points
concerning the colt which should be
kept in mind in its training. The colt
is going to be horse, and If good
horse is wanted the colt must have
good start. When the colt is weaned,
give him a good start by feeding the
proper food. Nothing that I know of
will taken the place Of oats for the
growing colt. Give him oats and plen-
" of good hay. and good care other
wise. and the colt is sure to make 1t
all right. Corn will not do, for it has
not the elements of oats. Colts can
not grow on corn as on oats.
At this age is good time to spoil
the colt. especially in haltering. Many
will put the halter on the colt, and he.
not knowing what it means, will pull
back: the owner then losesShis temper,
and the consequence is aspoiled colt. In
putting the halter on the colt, frst let
him be by the side of his mother, and
proceed easy and gently. When you
have the halter on, tie it fast TO . solid

MID-wINTER GARENING.
The Planning and Preparation For
the Garden should BE
Done Now.

Gardening, even il it has some un-
pleasant features. is on the whole de-
cidedly pleasant work; and no part OF
it is more enjoyable than that which
it should be done during the winter.
BY this mean the planning and prep
aration for the next springs work, the
study of seed catalogues and farm pa
pers for information as to new varie-
ties and new methods. and the hopeful
anticipation of garden better and
more complete than we have ever had.
Few gardens are as good or as extern
sive as they should be. Beginning
with radishes and lettuce early in the
spring, one may have variety of vege-
tables to choose from far into the next
winter. And by repeated paintings he
can have a constant supply of nearly
all of them. A half dozen paintings Of
radishes or beans or sweet corn are
none too many. Then if some new va
riety or some novel method of culti-
walton is being tried there is little dan
ger of the gardeners interest failing.
So it is well to get number of good
seed catalogues this winter and from
them to make selection of the varie-
ties you wish to plant next spring. II
you have been doing without celery or
eggplant or any other vegetable II
would be well to include package OF
two of it in your order. 1t is none toe
early to begin getting ready for it now
Another thing that will pay is to ar
range for the planting of some peanuts
and popcorn for the little folks. They
will help brighten many long winter
days. and the cost of raising them /:
very little indeed. AS to where to ge
seeds, believe it pays to order direc
from the seedsmen rather than to de
pend upon buying from the stores. You
are sure then of getting fresh seeds
and can get just what you want. On
thing to be observed, however, is to bu.
seeds only from firms of well-estab
lished reputation. Beware of the YER
cheap seedsmen and of the one VIII
makes extravagant claims for his seeds
Some Of your seeds you may hav
saved yourself. and if your selection
were properly made these may be e,
pected to give as good results as an
you can buy. I may have somethin
to sap on this subject later.-Cor. Epit
