Is the root cause of all this dirt and

immortality, as the philanthropists do

FARM APPLE STORAGE HINTS
Fruit Keeps Better Where Dipped In
Bordeaux Mixture-Prevents
Decay and Kills Fungi.

Dipping apples in bordeaux mixture
causes them to keep better when stored
under farm conditions, according to ex-
periments conducted by the Vermont
experiment station. The effect Of the
bordeaux mixture is to prevent decay,
which is does, no doubt, by killing the
fungi on the skin of the apples. This
treatment also helps to preserve the
flavor of the fruit. Copper sulphate,
lime water and paraffin were also used
as dips, but none were so effective as
bordeaux mixture. In these expert
ments various materials were used In
which to pack apples, including saw
dust, cork and paper. But most of the
materials, though keeping the fruit
cooler, impaired the flavor Of the APP
Piles and caused them to shrink. Hard
wood sawdust was the best of the ma
terials used for packing. Apples kept
best when immersed in bordeaux mix
ture and then packed in hardwood saw
dust, but apples merely dipped In bor-
deaux mixture kept their flavor as well
or better.

SeIf-Reliant Art,

Music is the most complete and self
reliant of the arts. according to the
eminent critic. William J. Henderson.
1t has no unitarian purpose, like archi-
lecture; it never. like literature, be-
comes a treasure chest for the archives
of history. Despite Wagner's exhil-
arating Interpretation of the Seventh
Symphony as 1.-The apOtheosis of the
dance" that composition remains an
absolute symphony in A major.
capable of resting wholly upon It's
own musical beauty. A suite by Bach
can live thing Of beauty and joy
forever, even while it calmly defies
every attempt to create for 1t any
foundation outside its own thematic
materials. Mozart's concertOs and the
symphonies of Brahms belong to this
same class. All their eloquence con-
slsts in lofty song. They tell no stories !;
they paint no pictures; they make no
futile essays at preaching PHILOSOPHERS.

DRESSING FOR THE ORCHARD
Much Depends on Age Of Trees and
Their Condition-Spread Manure
Evenly on Surface.

A proper dressing for the orchard.
Just the right quantity, will depend
upon the age Of the trees and their
condition. If trees are large and have
been neglected, they will require more
than in the case Of young trees which
have had attention. To begin at the
beginning, young trees lately set In
rich soil need no manure, but after
eight or ten years, when they begin
to produce and there is an evident de-
cline in vitality. feeding should begin.
The decline will be manifested by a
slower growth and poorer quality OF

and alkali. When any of
these are present in large quantities
the water tastes bad and is unfit to
drink. Only the practical chemist, by
means of carefully conducted expert
ments, can positively determine
whether or not such water can safely
be used. Other frequent admixtures
of water are sand or clay. These may
badly discolor the water, but they are
usually harmless.
The most dangerous contamination
of water is produced by organic poi
sons and the bacteria or germs
microscopically small plants. These
organisms, invisible TO the naked eye,
enter the intestines of man with the
water which he drinks. multiply there
at an enormous rate when the condi-
tons are favorable, and may produce
disorders, diseases or death. They are
the more dangerous because they can
not be seen in the water. Even IL
they exist there by the million, when
examined by the eye alone the liquid
may appear entirely or nearly clear.
1t is a fact. however, that these
germs cannot live long in water which
does not contain organic substances.
In sO-called surface water, i. e., drain
age water from fields, meadows or
barnyards, in water from roofs or
roads, or in water from forests and
cemeteries, they are always present
