PROFIT IN WINDFALLS
Money Made by Turning Apples
Into Sweet Cider.
Large Amount Sold to Tourists
Ground in Orchard Kept Clean and
No Waste-Fruit Hand-Pieked
and Graded Into Sizes.

One Of the most common sights in
the country during the summer
months, is the large quantity Of wind
fall apples lying under the trees on
many prosperous looking farms. Hay-
ing purchased place with large
orchard, / was determined to eliminate
this waste, if possible, says writer
in an exchange. When the first apples
began to fall, the trees were gently
shaken, the apples washed, and run
through small mill.
Two signs, tackled at either boun-
dairy line of the place facing the road,
advertised in large letters, good cider.
It was amazing the number of gallons
we sold to passing tourists who
stopped to get glass, and generally
wound up by taking a gallon with
them.
In this manner the ground was
kept clean Of apples and there was
no waste. About two weeks later we
began to hand-pick, grading the fruit
into two sizes. All fruit available
was removed. Owing to the enormous
crop, the price of apples was very
low. The neighbors were selling fruit
fer 25 cents bushel, and glad to get
it, while our apples brought 65 cents
at the grocery store. %
Many more bushels were sold in
the same manner as the cider, the
signs this time announcing both the
sale of cooking and eaIlng apples,
AS the orchard was an old one
when purchased, some of the trees
were very large and the apples diff
cult to reach. These were the last
to be disposed of, being shaken off
and converted into cider which was
sold at the fancy price of so cents a
gallon. An advertisement placed in
the daily paper, suggesting the use of
the cider for Halloween parties,
brought splendid results, and hand
some profit was realized.
The above method ought to prove
profitable to anyone living on main
road. Every apple ought to make a
showing on the cash exchequer.

RYE GOOD FOR FALL PASTURE
May Be Seeded in October and Is Not
Attacked by Hessian FIy-VetcF
Adds Nitrogen.
(By c. 3. HUTCHINSON, Missouri Agri-
cultural Experiment Station.)

(By C. 3. HUTCHINSON Missouri Agri-
cultural Experiment Station.)
After six weeks of severe drought
and intense heat, bluegrass and other
pastures are so dry that they will fur
nish no pasturage until late in the
fall, even with the aid of the usual
late summer and early fall rains. The
man who has much live stock on hand
will find it necessary to provide tenn
porary fall and winter pasture. For
this purpose there is no better crop
than rye.
Rye may be seeded any time during
September or October, and is not at
tackled by the Hessian fly, so 1t will
not endanger fall wheat. 1t may be
sown just as early as the seedbed can
be put into proper condition on stub
Bile land or after corn has been cut for
silage or fodder.
A bushel and a half is enough for
early sowing, but two bushels should
be used later, or mixture of 80 or
40 pounds of rye and Is or 20 pounds
of vetch will give good results if
sown late in August or early in Sep
TENDER.
Small fields of such cover crops fur
nish great deal of pasture at little
expense and leave the soil in better
condition than if they had not been
grown. The vetch is a legume which
adds nitrogen and the fine roots OF
rye protect the soil against washing,
which is more serious between grow
ing seasons than most people realize.
Next spring the rye may be turned un-
der as grain manuring crop before
complaining time.
