113, embracing 80 counties, while the
membership as[advanced; from 4,5o0
In 1904 to $500 now. One ofsthe i'm
portant aims of the society is the
cheapening, of freight rates, which
have been excessively burdensome in
England to the small shipper. This
is, being done with success by combin-
ing farm products in wholesale quanti'

been reduced and in some cases the
prices ofsproducts have been Increased
through thet harmonious working of
the society. i It also enables members

It is commonplace to-day that the

sums without adequate inquiry or

OF ministers who for years are carry

or, to speak plainly, of falsehood. The
House Of Commons does not do It's

NOTES.

There is no danger of getting too
much light into the COW stable.
If you do not like to take the cows
horns off, put knobs on them.
Good COWS, good land and good farm
ing are the trinity of successful dairy
ing.
Keeping the pores of the farm animals
open is just as essential to their health
as the same condition is toyours.
Stock maintains the best of health
when manure is not allowed to accum-
ulate under them in the stable or feed.
The dairy COW does not have to be
killed to get the profit from her. She
gives it year by year and relieves her
owner OF the necessity Of constantly
stocking up.
Where cooperate dairying is practiced
the farmers that contribute the milk
should receive monthly very full reports
of the progress Of the factory work.
This will win their confidence, or hold
it, if it is already Observation-Disclosures
Farmer.
Farm cow needs special care She Is
much more delicate than horses, hogs,
sheep, or even beef cattle. Provide a
warm stable, with good bedding, see that
she has the best feed obtainable, and Sc

SEEDLESS APPLES.
Not Anything New, Because They
Were Known Centuries Ago-Val-
liable Only as a Curiosity.

: The very wide public notice which the
so-called seedless apple is now enjoying
is being lavishly advertised, and, Sec
ond, the public generally accepts it as a
genuine novelty.
This apple, like the stoneless plum,
has been known to pomologists for more
than two centuries. The seedless apple
was known before 1923 at latest, for in
that year it was described by the French
pomologist, Lelectier. In several of the
old herbals, the seedlesS and bloomlesS
apple is described, and in one case it is
well illustrated, early in the seven
teenth century. Moreover. these old
authors refer to still earlier writer's, like
Pllny and Theophrastus, as describing
the seedless and bloomless apple, so that
IL seems certain that it has been known
since the beginning of the Christian era.
In 1868, Duhamel, the great French
bontanlst and pomologist, in his book
on Fruit Trees" described it as fol-
lows: Apple without petals, fruit
oblong, the sect vessels distributed in a
double series, crowned with proliferous
calyx.' This reference to a double
series of seed vessels looks difficult, but
it is easily understood when we eXa nine
closely some of the 'seedless' and
"bloomless" apples of modern tines. In
these there are nearly always two more
or less rudimentary cores, one above the
other.
Duhamels book on Fruit Trees" just
cited, was famous and important work,
and is still one of the most valuable for
historical reference. In 1907, Poiteau
and Turpin, two eminent French poInol-
ogists, produced a new edition of the
work, in which they gave full descrip-
ton and colored picture of this same
bloomless apple, calling it the fig apple.
An outline Of this fig apple is shown in
Figure /.
The seedless apple seems to have come
to.light in this country about 1868, says
the Country Gentleman. In that year
it was reported to the Farmers club
(New York; as having been found in
, West Virginia. The fruit was again be-
fore the same club in 1870, this time COM
ing from Connecticut, with the state

THE COLoRING OF BUTTER
By Properly Feeding the Cow a Nat
ural Coloring May Be Given
to the Butter.

There is probably no breed of COWS.
taken collectively, that will make yell
lower butter in winter than the Jerseys
Indeed, give them proper food and care
and there is but little need of adding ar
tificial coloring to the cream to impart a
more attractive tint to the butter, at
any time of the year. Carrots are excel
lent for the purpose, says the EpitOmist.
A good supply of these roots, with plenty
of clover hay and corn meal and bran,
make it possible, If the cream is rightly
handled, to produce very nice butter in
cold weather. Even corn fodder, mixed
with clover hay, will give quite salts
factory results. What ever will help to
make first-class butter of good natural
color, should certainly be utilized The
majority of buyers would much rather
have the tint put there by the cows
and the care Of the dairyman, although
the product be almost white, than use
that with the bogus color especially If
the coloring has not been properly done.
And one may be ever so painstaking it
is difficult to impart an artificial hue to
butter that always looks well. If col
oring is used at all, it should be fresh; it
is liable to become stale with age, and in
that event will injure the flavor of the
butter. The best way of using it, of
course, is to put it into the cream before
starting the churn. AS already init
mated, however, it would be better to
dispense with it's use entirely. Butter
that is highly colored would then be re-
garded with more suspicion, perhaps,
than it generally is when coloring is re-
sorted to for covering up butter frauds.

If the beans are badly infected they

Joseph Meehan says, in Practical
Farmer, that the elm trees of New
York have been measurably free of
the beetle which preyed on the foliage
in former years. A fungus has set
upon the beetles, destroying large
numbers of them; the same fungus
that destroys house flies, it is said.
Awhile ago some scientific genius
suggested that all scale insects might
be eradicated from trees by smuggling
them off the bark with quick appli-
cation of heat from a painters gasoline

showed that the heat sometimes in
jured the tree as we'll as the insects.

Germany's Textile Schools

Beginning with schools to teach
spinning by hand in the eighteenth
century, Germany has continued to i'm
prove the instruction in textile indus

vance of practical science as applied
to weaving and spinning. Textile
schools, where the manipulation of the
most intricate machinery is taught, are
now found all over the empire, and it
Is held by some persons that they con-
stitute the main pillar by virtue of
which the German textile industry
maintains it's competitive power in for
eign markets. The courses of instruc-

ment that the original tree had been in
bearing for over so years. This would
take the seedless apple back at least to
1880 in America Mr.. Robert Manning,
of Boston, in 1869, wrote that he had
seen this apple under the name No-core
at an exhibition of the Massachusetts
Horticultural society several years be-
fore. He said that he had also received
a similar apple from French nursery
man.
The greatest previous outbreak of the
seedless-apple craze in this country oc-
Cured about 1890, or less than Is years
ago
At this time the matter was thorough
~ written up. The most comprehensive
article was by Prof. L. H. Bailey in
American Gardening, January, 1890,
from which some of the foregoing refer
ences are taken. Fig. 2 shows a section
through the Bloomless apple, as it was
then called.
Prof Bailey attributes the seedless
character of the apple to the fact that
the abnormal flowers seldom have any
stamens. The pistils therefore are not
pollinated. When other trees of other
varieties grow near, these may pollinate
the flowers Of the seedless apple, which
may then bear a number of seeds.
AS to the merits of the variety, Prof.
Bailey said: 1T appears to possess no
value aside from its curiosity" Mr. H.
E. Van Deman, then United States
pomologist, said of it: my opinion is
that the variety is practically worthless
so far, as fruit, but is quite interesting
as a curiosity. Anyone who plants
the trees of this variety will be disap-
pointed, except in having their curiosity
satisfied"

After dinner he took Louise for a

thiut she could have been SO mistaken
in Elton Gray! Hereafter she would
have faith in no man. What could he
raeau by such bold action? Her first
thought had been that he was married

discussing the woman and her beauty

theory.
