USE APPLES FREELY.
Ways in Which the Unmarketabie
Fruit Can Be Used.

Where apples are grown there g
often large waste of fruit in the
orchard because the windfalls and
unmerchantable stock are allowed to
decay on the ground. This is a habit
peculiar to the northwest, where the
waste on the, farms, If saved, would
equal the entire income of some sec
tions of the world. The frugal New
Englander end his family make use
OF a large proportion of the culls and
windfalls from the orchard. A cider
press will make it possible to convert
much of this waste into vinegar which
is in demand in almost every family.
Small green apples also make most
excellent quality of fruit jelly which is
relished by all and as a spread for
bread is much superior to some butter
we have sampled.
Apple butter is cheaply prepared
from the small stock and should be
made by the gallon where there are
children in the family. Pie timber"
is usually a store product on the farm,
but the orchard should supply material
for such pastry during the entire year.
The Duchess apple makes splendid
filing for pies and dumplings when it
is fresh, dry, or canned. The Hibernal
is not good seller on the markets but
the cooks prefer it to many other va
rieties for pies.
Small fruit evaporators are now OBJ
tainable which may be heated over
the kitchen range where apples can
be dried very quickly and cheaply.
They are entirely practical and worthy
of place in every household where
fruits and vegetables are grown.
Apple preserves and pickles make
a dainty dish that young and old
relish. People in the cities often pay
two dollars per bushel for crab apples
which they use for pickles and pre-
serves, while the farmers family, with
the apples going to waste in the or
chard, is entirely without these luxuries
Baked apples and Jersey cream is
good enough for king. Apple sauce
plain or spiced-should be on the
farmers table three times day when
the fruit is wasting on the ground.
Keep plumb full of apples while they
are ripe.

MAKING PERMANENT HoTBEDs
Get It Ready This Fall for Use Next

Hotbed sash should be constructed
of white pine or of cypress, and the
sash bars should run in one direction

The bars may be braced through the

The two ends of the sash should be
made Of sound timber, three inches
wide at the top and four inches wide

the ends of the sash bars, and with a
tendon at the ends to pass through

supply the heat, a pit two or two and
onehalf feet deep, according to the lat
itude in which the work is to be DONE
should be provided. The sides and
ends may be supported by lining of
plank supported by posts four feet
apart, or, what is better still, a brick
wall nine inches thick, as shown in
Fig. l, may be used. In either case
the pit lining should come flush with
the surface of the soil. The site for
the pit should be on naturally we'll
drained land, and tile drain from the
bottom of the excavation should be
provided to prevent the water from ac-
cumulating in the pit and stopping
the fermentation of the manure during
the period the hotbed is in use.
Standard hotbed sash are three by
six feet The pit, therefore, should be
some multiple of six feet in length,
and the width should be the same as
the length of the sash-six feet. The
pit, may be extended above the sur
face of the ground sufficiently to al
low for placing the sash Immediately
upon these permanent structures. In
the autumn the pit should be filled
with leaves or straw and covered
with loose boards or shutters to pre-
vent it from becoming filed with
snow and ice, and in order that it
may be ready for use early in March.

plants just as if they were weeds.
No combination of chemicals will
exactly take the place of stable manure
since the latter supplies vegetable
matter and certain bacteria. The
chemicals and green crops provide a
good substitute.
The little kingdom of Belgium is

RHUBARB FOR WINTER.
Take Some of the Roots for Forcing
in the Cellar.

1t is now time to make planting
plans for the fall and winter. If you
have cellar with dirt floor and have
rhubarb plants which have supplied
sou in the spring here is a plan by
which they can be made to furnish a
crop of tender shoots in the winter,
when the pies and sauce are most
welcome.
Rapid growth is essential to insure
tenderness of the rhubarb. The very
best can be raised in the winter, warm
cellar being the only requisite for
forcing it. The roots of the plants
should be dug up late in the fall with
large quantities of dirt adhering to
them. These chunks of earth contain
ing the roots may be piled up outdoors
until midwinter when they should be
carried into the cellar and placed in
a bed prepared in the earthen fioo~'.
The chunks of earth should be laid
covered to a depth of four to six
inches.
Growth soon commences. Light Is
not requisite. In short time the
rhubarb will be ready for the table.
The shoots will be almost colorless
and remarkably tender and palatabe
A very small bed containing only half
a dozen well.developed hills will be
sufficient to supply family for several
weeks. Roots send up large number
of shoots and exhaust themselves in
about four weeks. For an additional
supply roots should be planted at in
tervals of two or three weeks.
