A NEW APPLE CLASSIFICATION.
At the recent national apple show
held at Spokane, Wash. various reso-
lutions were adopted tending to foster
the development of the apple industry,
and among the most important were
those outlining n new and what 1t Is
hoped will be uniformly adopted as
the countrys apple classification. The
resolutions were as follows: "First,
that our apples be packed in three
grades. Second that the said grades
be named extra fancy choice and
orchard run. Third, that where the
words extra fancy are stamped on a
box 1t shall signify that the apples
when packed were sound, uniformly
graded as to size in each box, smooth,
practically free from bruises. worms,
worm stings or disease and have rea-
sonably proper shape for the variety,
fully matured; all red varieties In this
grade shall be at least 30 per cent red,
except SpitZenburgs, Winesaps. Jona-
IDuDS ana AEhullSuS DiuChS, NulCn
shall be at least 20 per cent red; Vel
low Newtons. White Winter Pear
mains, Grimes Goldens. Belletlowers,
Ortleys, Winter Bananas and Red
Cheek pippins will be allowed in this
grade. Fourth. that the choice grade
shall consist of apples sound, uniform
ly graded as to size In each box, free
from any breaks in the skin or black
bruises. also free from worms or any
disease which materially Injuries the
quality of the apple. Fifth, that where
for any reason the grower or packer
does not care to use the extra fancy
or choice grades we recommend the
varieties be packed In one grade. term
ed orchard run which shall apply to
apples free from worms or any dis
ease which materially Injuries the
quality of the apple and those not
smaller than five tier nor less than two
inches In diameter"

Is prepared as follows: Slack five
pounds of fresh stone lime In a tight
box or small barrel, using care that it
does not burn in the process, for the
finer and more creamy its texture the
better the mixture therefrom will be.
When thoroughly Stacked dilute to
twenty-five gallons. preferably Ia the
small barrel In which the stacking has
been uone Next dissolve five pounds
of the copper sulphate in two or three
gallons of water and dilute to twenty
five gallons. This may be done in Gf-
ty-fve gallon vinegar barrel and the dl-
luted lime mixture added, the contents
being stirred thoroughly as each pail
full is poured in. When all OF the lime
water has been added and the con
tents have been thoroughly stirred the
mixture should be tested by taking a
little of 1t in a small dish and adding
a few drops of prussiate of potash,
deadly poison. If chocolate brown
precipitate results it means that there
is not enough lime in the mixture, and
enough should be added so that the
portion tested will not turn the red
dish brown. However. In making
many tests Of this kind the writer has
never got the brown precipitate when
the above amount Of lime was used
For small operations the barrel spray
outfit will likely be used, and the solu-
tion should be strained through
twenty mesh copper strainer or two
thicknesses of gunny sacking. Where
the operations are ON a large scale the
above $3.50 receipt, as 1t is called
may be multiplied as occasion may re-
quire. In this case saturated stock
solution of the copper sulphate may
be kept on hand, made by suspending
in a sack In a keg of water more Of
the chemical than will dissolve. A
gallon and two-thirds of this solution
will give the necessary five pounds of
the copper sulphate, while enough OF
the lime solution should be added so
that the chocolate precipitate will not
result when a few drops of the prus-
state of potash are added. The solu-
tion should be kept agitated while 1t
is being used and should be applied to
the trees under heavy pressure. Where
orchards are badly infested with scab,
