An apple is one Of natures most
skilfully blended and combined pack
ages Of pleasure. food and medicine.
il contains protein. fat, sugar. fruit
1cihs. iron, magncSi:. phosphorus ana
sulphur. The minerals are in soluble
form and easily aSsimilatcd by the sys
tenn. Some folks cheerfully Pay dol
lar for little finger sized bottle of a
so-called iron preparation. when they
could get q huShcl Of apples for the
same amount, have an apple n day for
three or four months, and get more
iron, and have the other minerals
thrown in for good measure as we'll as
the enjoyment Of eating the fruit.
We think Of the potato as a staple
food. yet the apple contains nearly as
many heat producing units. and only
about 20 per cent wattr.
ono writer has said. when you feel
n wavward tendency coming over you
an inclination to do something real
devilsh or to say something real mean
eat an apple. If you feel the impulse
to kick over the traces and give tho
/ atmosnhere q sulphurous odor, eat
Jonathan or a Mcintosh If your hus-
band is cross and grumpy and shows a
disposition to Kick the dog and make
faces at the baby, hand him q big red
! apple. If he won't eat the apple, hand
| him dish of apple sauce at break
fast .u.
1t is said that apples contain more
rhosphatcs in proportion to their bulk

Fall Wheat Seeding.
Is there, a successful fall wheat
grower in your neighborhood? a man
Ewho always gets a good crop. II there
is. YOU can grow fall wheat Ask him

| | have at least a dozen located in
the county. and they are all agreed
on one thing. Seed early. That means
now. Two weeks later may be too late
The farmer takes enough chances as
it is without increasing them by late
seeding. The best fall wheat | have
been able to find the kind that is
making the big Yields, was planted be-
tween August - and September 10
They ar" not all agreed on any other
one point but the most of them seed
on fall blowing. on the dry lands this
wear this may not b" possible. but here
it may be possible to disc and harrow
the land and put it into lrctty fail
shane this way AS to the deph 81
seeding. to 2ia inches is best. If il
doesn't rain. the wheat will not come
up. but at that ii will be better
chance than to seed late and trust &c
luck. One more point. New seed grair
is slow to terminate and does not come
quite so we'll as old, SO 1t should bf
seeded earlier. and perhaps 8 to l(
per cent more seed sown.
Burning Money.
No, this does not refer to forest fires
but to the fools bonfire tho burning
Of strawstacks. Some people like tt
show Off occa sionaily by the frcal
stunt of lighting n cigar with green,
back. Will" all too many farmers graf
fly their rlutocratic desires by makinl
a bonfire out OF q hundred dollars
worth Of feed and fertility. Men other.
wise sane deliberately set the torch &c
q valuable 'art OF their crop without {
thought Of the folly of such an act.
oats straw is the best for feed. bu
wheat and barley straw is also OF mucl
value as a rough feed. when hay l.
selling at s25 per ton. Your count.

! livestock feeding costs this winter.
: l'rdcr these conditions 1t will b.
nothing less than n crime for any maj
to burn his straw. ana 1t is hearth.
recommended that any such a man b.
put behind tho bars after wen singcin
- his brain box with his own bonfire.
Save the strawstacks. SOmcbod
