Best Cows Arc Cheapest.

The high priced cow Is not so ex.
penslve as she seems In view Of what
she produces. The average COW pro.
duces milk or butter to the value Of
$3.50. and she costs SUI year, reck.
onins that the manure she produces
offsets the care given her. This shows
that the COW does not do a great deal
toward raising the mortgage on the
farm. Assuming that Il costs. no more
to keep. n good COW than poor one,
the figures will show that the good
COW Is relatively cheaper. The aver
aye cow will produce 5000 pounds Of
milk year. while n choice COW Will
produce as high as 10000, meaning
profit Of sos against the almost even
balance sheet Of the average COW,
while PieterJe H., q Holstein, has
record pof 10000 pounds Of milk
year, which would make a profit OF

Great Thing For Fruit Growers.

4 would be great. thing for fruit
growing II the market would distin-
guish sharply between apples for DIFF
ferent purposes. Apples that nre not
reeommendable for dessert may still
be very useful for many other pur.
poses. It Is not so much question
of not growing apples OF different
grades Of quality rs Of finding the
proper uses for these grades. I think
1t Is mistake, at the present time
to recommend thnt certain apples be
not grown merely because they are
not Of high eating qualIty.-L q. Bal.

Maiden n1usn APPLE.


1.-THE fruit shows effects Of apple blotoh.l
vaded area being dwarfed by the &c.
ton Of the fungus, further growth OF
the apple results in cracking Of the
fruit similar to that produced by the
apple scab fungus. The cracks range
frc..f one.foarth to one Inch In length
and frequently extend almost to the
center OF the apple.
In extreme cases crack may almost
encircle the apple, practically dividing
It in half. and one crack may intersect
another, forming u cross. Fruits only
slightly affected with the disease may
go through the season without devel-
oping cracks. These are more COM
monty developed shortly before the
fruit natures, though few may occur
earlier in the season. The skin being
thus broken, the fruit becomes IN easy
prey to other fungi and soon goes
down In decay: AS rule, the affected
fruit drops pre,naturely, and the un-
sprayed Ben Davis trees left as checks

until the fruit is nearly half grown.
The blotch was first observed on the

affected fruits could be found on that
date. On July ~ Il large percentage of
the Ben DAYS. apples was affected, and
by the middle OF August it was clearly
seen that the crop was practically lost.

branches and within the shaded por-
tons OF the tree, but finally spread to
