The apple is such a common fruit,
says a medical writer, that very few
persons are familiar with its remark
able efficacious medicinal purposes.
Everybody ought to know that the
very best thing they can do is to
eat apples just before retiring for the
night.
Persons uninitiated in the myster-
les of the fruit are liable OF throw up
their hands in horror at the vision
Of dyspepsia which such a suggestion
many summon up, but no harm can
come even to a delicate system by the
eating of ripe and juicy apple before
going 10 bed.
The apple is excellent brain food
because it has more phosphoric acid
in easily dgiested shape than any 9TH
er fruit
1t excites the action OF the liver
promotes sound and healthy sleep and
thoroughly disinfects the mouth. This
is not all; the apple prevents indiges-

ReClaimS the Desert.

The Anatolian Railroad Company
the German corporation that is build
ing railroad across Asia Minor TO Bag
dad, entered into a contract last Nov
ember with the Turkish Government to
irrigate a part of the Great Salt, De-
sert, whose southern border is skirted
by the railroad
This edge of the desert is nearly 200
miles from the northeastern corner
of the Mediterranean. 1t was once the
bottom of the sea and its floor is
strewn with saline incrustations, but
it has been found that the soil may
be freshened and turned into the best
Of farming lands. Not spear of grass
grows on it now, and neither the
Greeks nor the Romans nor the Turks
ever built a road across it.
The contract for turning the south
western part of this bare waterless
plain into a fruitful garden has been
let to a Frankfort firm and the con-
struction plant is now being sent to
Asia Minor, where the work will be-
gin this spring. The contractors agree
to complete the work in five years.
The estimate cost is about $5,000,-
900. The funds are to be supplied by
the railroad company the government
paying 5 per cent interest and agree
ing to wipe out the debt in thirty
five years.
The reclaimed area, embracing about
10000 acres, will touch the north
ern edge Of the town of Koria famous
in ancient history as Iconium and long
the capital Of the Turks while they
were pushing their triumphant way to
the part Of Europe they now occupy.
1t is a decayed place, interesting only
fir its medieval and ancient re-
mains, among which are the mosques
OF the Turks remarkable for their ex-
quisite arabesques and enamel work.

The Untiring Hen

Last week was banner week for
egg shipments from Steeleville. A
hundred and twenty-three cases were
sent out. Each case contains thirty
dozen so that there were $500 dozen
eggs of Steeleville production went
forth to help feed the hungry of the
big cities on this staple article OF
diet The value of these eggs was over
$3.50 at the depot here. II the chick
ems which laid the eggs laid one every
day last week. 1t would have taken
6340 hens to furnish the product.
Counting the eggs used at home the
many which are being used for hatch
ing purposes at this time Of the year,
the many that are broken or never
found, It will be readily seen that the
egg industry Is one Of the greatest i'm

railroad from the Bosporus and the
startling point of the extension TO
Bagdad which is now being built. 1t
is expected again to become a flouri
shing city.
Among the mountains about sixty
miles west of Konia is the large Lake
Beyschehir, and it has been ascertain
ed that this lake can provide 2O0,O00,0O
cubic meters of water a year for the
thorough irrigation of the area TO be
reclaimed. This water is to be led to
the desert through an artificial chan
mel and distributed by hundreds Of
small canals following closely the Egg
tian system of irrigation.
1t is proposed 10 devote the area
largely to wheat raising and the Ger
mans estimate that the amout of
wheat that can be grown every year
will fill 10000 freight cars. Their chief
object in proposing this costly project
was 10 create business for their road.
AS for the Turkish Government the
obvious advantages of the reclamation
project led 1t eagerly to accept the
proposition.
IL expects to secure a very desira-
BILE source of wheat for the supply
of Its army. The reclaimed land will
also yield a large sum in taxes so
dear to the heart of the Turkish Of
ficial but the greatest blessing that
the government expects to derive from
the enterprise is that every influence
which increases the business receipts
of the railroad company lessons the
liability of the government which,
to secure the building of the road,
guaranteed to make up any deficit in
the receipts below 1900 francs for
every kilometer of the track
The great oasis in the desert will
have sufficient outlet for its products
as trains will take them to the Bos-
porus and also to the port of Mersina
on the brach of the Bagdad road whic
the Germans are to build from Adana
to that port.
Vast parts of poverty-stricken Asia
Minor are naturally among the most
favored regions of the world and it is
interesting to see that Western ideas
are beginning to fit that country for
its proper place as a source of food for
many millions of people.-New York

Value of Rye as a Green Crop

While nitrogen Is the fertilizing ele-
ment most easily lost from manures
and soils, 1t is the most expensive,
costing almost three times as much
per pound as potash and phosphoric
acid. The readiness with which
nitrates are washed out of the Soil dur
ing heavy rains when the ground is
thawed, suggests that during the pc
riod of such rains it should be covered
with some catch crop, which will feed
upon the nitrates formed and store
nitrogen in its tissues. For this
purpose rye is an excellent crop and
is much used. While it adds no nj
trogen 20 the soil which is not alredy
found there, in, as crimson clover
does it is a much surer catch than the
former andis thoroughly hardy, 1t
forms quite a root system during the
fall, starts off early in the spring and
by ordinary planting time forms a
heavy coat of manure to pillow under.
One office which rye performs is to
absorb great quantities. while the
ground is reeking with moisture in tn
early spring, so that when It is turne
down in the furrow II carries under
with 1t tons of water per acre and
holds I'll such shape that 1t will not
be readily evaporated.
