meat, Friday afternoon, when one of
the states agricultural men remarked
that Natures ways were certainly
mysterious as, for instance nobody
had yet discovered the chemical man
ner i'm which a COW produces milk. The
process of milk making from the
munching Of feed. through its assim-
ilation into blood and thence into milk
was of course known, but just how the
milk is formed is secret of Nature.
In arplc culture, it was remarked,
there are other surprising facts. The
wet weather of last spring has been
explained as the reason for the short
apple crop. this fall. The wet weather
prevented the bees from flying and
distributing in the apple blossoms the
pollen without which there is no fruit.
The winds, last spring, chiefly north
east, during this period of apple bloom,
distributed the pollen to a certain eX
tent In the orchards the most of the
sides OF the trees reached by this
wind.
The caller inquired as to the wis
dom of muchinG apple trees. The re-
ply was affirmative and it was added
ploushed and the grass and weeds re-
moved the fruit crop is better The
philosophy of this orchard cultivation
is that the apples require all the mois-
ture possible to obtain from the earth.
If the earth is covered with grass and
weeds they take up the moisture that
otherwise would be pumped through
the tree roots, trunks and limbs to
