went to neighboring county aud
paid fancy price for bull. Later
he found he had been stung in the

against the former owner of the bull

he would escape the smuggling penalty,

FRUITS WEIRD BLOOD STAIN
Popularity Of the mike Apple" Which
Is Grown Only In One Spot In
Connecticut.

Science having failed to explnin the
why" of tho Mike APPLE" local
superstition and legend have under
tnken the task. The Mike apple Is
grown only In Connecticut. and was
first noted In 17tG' on n farm near
Norwich. At That date It was discov-
cred that MI the apples in n certain
orchard had, somewhere in their heart,
red feck as brightly crimson as u
drop of blood. Chemical analysis
failed to show any difference between
the red spot and the rest of the apple
Ever since, trees planted from the
seed Of the Norwich orchard have re-
tained the spot.
Legend declares that Micah Rood,
the owner of the orchard, suddenly
changed from n happy go-lucky young
farmer to sour suspicious, unpleas-
mt chap. History proves that he died
in an asylum in 1928 At the time he
changed in his attitude toward the
world an apple tree In his orchard
bore red blossoms instead of white.
This. taken i'm connection with his Mt
titude, aroused the suspicion Of his
neighbors, who remembered the dis
appearance of young peddler follow
ing his stopping all night ut Rood's
home. The orchard was dug up, but
nothing discovered. When the apples
ripened that fall the red spot mp
peared. and the passing years have
failed to eradicate 1t from the fruit.
