MINERAL CONTENT OF. APPLES
Department of Agricultural Chemistry
of the Idaho Station Gives Re-
suits of Experiments.

Fruit of all kinds that grow On
plants which receive the largest por-
ton of their food supply through the
soil, always contain a rather large
amount OF mineral substances.
In the apple, for example, it has
been found by work carried on in the
department of agricultural chemis-
try of the Idaho station that the ash
amounts from 2 to 80 per cent of
the fresh mature fruit This total ash
is obtained by drying a suitable guam
tity g 1-3 pounds) of the quartered
apples at 4 degree of about 40 de-
grees c, ror several days, and then
burning it in an electrical furnace at a
dull red heat until practically all the
carbon is consumed. The total
amount APPARENTLY does not vary to
any great extent with varieties or
with irrigation or non-irrigation.
When this ash, which, from the
majority of varieties is perfectly
white. is further subjected to analy-
ses. the following are the most i'm
portant elements found; Silicon, iron.
aluminium, phosphorus, manganese,
calcium, magnesium, potassium,
chlorine and sulphur.
Although no one has been able to
determine the exact function of these
various elements in plants and fruits.
it is generally believed that sulphur
and phosphorus enter into the living
substance; that potassium. magnes-
ium, calcium and iron. although not
entering into the living substance,
are essential, but owing to the fact
that they are so widely distributed in
the soil, are absorbed by the root
hairs of the tree, and find their way
to the fruit through the tree sap.

TO EXTERMINATE THE MITES
Task May Be Performed by Use Of
Lice-KlIing Liquid or Kerosene
and by Burning Sulphur.

Mites are the smallest kind of lice
and are so small that they quite often
escape notice. They live on the fowls
at night, but leave in the morning
and hide in the woodwork Of the hen
house. particularly the roosts, nests
and nearby woodwork The way to
exterminate them is TO paint the in
sides of the nests. the roost9 and the
roost supports, etc. with some good
lice-killing liquid every two weeks, or
with kerosene once a week. Then
drive the hens out doors on a warm
afternoon, close the house up tight
and burn enough sulphur in it to fill
the building absolutely full of dense
blue fumes and keep it closed for an
hour or two. These fumes will get
all through the house. into the cracks,
etc, and viii kill the mites This
should be repeated a week later.

leading to the conclusion that the
origination and production of higher
breeding types of corn must be by
special labor Our improved breeds
of animals have been produced by
specialists.
AS varying conditions of soil and
climate necessitate breeds of corn for
various localities, we must of necessity
have experienced and skillful breeders
in each county, if we wish to obtain
the full possibilities of the plant.
Those who grow but a small acreage
of corn will find it advisable to pur-
chase their seed from these expert
enced seed-corn breeders of their To-
calities. Extensive corn growers can,
during occasional years, purchase i'm
proved seed for multiplying plats and
in this way avail themselves Of the &C
complishments of skilled breeders
without the necessity of purchasing
each year their entire supply OF seed
In localities in which no one is as
yet giving the necessary attention to
breeding high-yielding strains it will
he advisable for the farmers to main
tain seed piats which may be isolated
or occupy a portion of the general
field.
Corn-growing contests which base
the competition upon the profits de.
rived from the crop grown are in
creasing in interest and embrace the
fundamental principles for which corn
is grown. Exhibits of a few select
ears demonstrate the ability Of the in
dividual in picking out perhaps from
a comparatively worthless corn a few
ears possessing uniformity and fine
appearance. A correct record of the
profits derived from a certain acreage
of corn is the hest proof of the excel
lence Of the strain of corn and of the
growers ability along all lines of pro
ducing in a profitable way higher
Yields to the acre.
Neglect of good preservation of seed
corn has brought failure to many who
! expected good yields from pedigreed
seed. 1t should also be remembered
that the better the growing conditions
the better opportunity heredity has to
display its superiority. Our best i'm
proved strains of corn, like our best
breeds of animals, have become adap-
ted to favorable conditions, and these
must be supplied if we are to profit
by their improvement.
We are using methods that are so
superior to those of a few decades ago
that we have almost ceased to search
for better Present methods, however,
