afford the epicurean tastes of the

the lobster, fresh from the sea.
Secretary Redfeld states that the
large variety of Pacific salmon can
not be successfully transplanted
into the New England rivers, but
he has hopes that the smaller
species may be brought to flour

have been accomplished if these

SHAFT
IN MEMORY
OF FAMOUS
APPLE TREE

To those who have known the "Mc-
Intosh Red" as a familiar friend. un-
der the name Fall Queen" the fol-
lowing story from Dundas county. On
tario. will prove interesting:
Perhaps one of .he most novel mon
uments in existence has recently been
built in Ontario by Canadians. The
farmers OF Dundas county. Ontario,
have just erected marble pillar to
mark the sit on which grew a famous
apple tree.
More than a century ago a settler
in Canada named Mcintosh, when
clearing a space in which to make a
home in the wilderness, discovered
among a number of wild apple trees
one which bore fruit SO superior to the
rest that he cultivated il and named
It the Mcintosh red.
The apple became famous; seeds
and cuttings were distributed to all
parts OF Canada, SO that now the Nc
Intosh red fourishes wherever apples
grow in the great Dominion. In 1896
the original tree from which this
enormous family sprang was injured
by fire; but It continued to bear fruit
until four years ago. Their. after 115
years, It died, and the grateful farm
ers have raised marble pillar in hon.
or OF the tree which has done SO much
for the fruit growing industry of their
land.
The story OF this apple tree Illus
trates the African proverb that though
you can count the apples on one tree.
you can never count the trees In one
apple.
B. +. Rockafellow was one of the
first. II not the first. to bring the
Mcintosh Red" apple to Fremont
county. He did did moi know n under
that name but as the Fall Queen" and
under this name the apples we're pick
ed and shipped from his orchards. II
