Hints for Apple Usage 
Quite often, towards Spring, we tire of 
cellar-stored apples; we think they some¬ 
how do not taste good, and some really do 
cook “hard.” For this latter, if you 
will supply yourself with a small hand 
fruit press, such as shown in picture, you 
can readily obviate all such hardness. 
Apple sauce is just as good, and just as 
ready a meringue of stiffly beaten sweet¬ 
ened whites of two eggs (one will suffice 
if large, or pie is small), and spread 
carefully over the top. Let some fall by 
small spoonfuls or dabs here and there 
over the pie. Replace in the oven mo¬ 
mentarily until it browns delicately. This 
is delicious. Gertrude shockey. 
Apple Sauce Passed Through Fruit Press 
healthy as when apples first come, when 
we do so relish the fine, flaky, steaming 
hot sauce. When you think they are suf¬ 
ficiently cooked, remove from fire, drain 
off any water, pass through the press, 
sweeten to taste (a dash of cinnamon or 
nutmeg improves them wonderfully), and 
you have as smooth and edible apple sauce 
as you could Avish for. 
The second picture shows a most appe¬ 
tizing salad made from apples peeled, 
chipped very fine and mixed with hau- 
Collar Rot of Grimes 
We do not have collar rot on anything 
but Grimes. Of our first planting of this 
variety, consisting of about 400 trees, 
half died of collar rot. AVe never tried 
any treatment for it. Twenty years ago 
we had all of our Grimes top-worked or 
something else in the nursery/ The graft, 
or bud, was inserted two to three feet 
above the ground. With Grimes thus 
treated I have never had a case of collar 
rot. Grimes is not hardy in contact with 
the ground. joe A. burton.

Apple Salad with Orange and Banana 
anas and oranges; bits of pineapple are 
relished by many. The addition of nuts 
improves it, too. Try a dish some late 
Winter evening; see if the family, and 
yourself as well, do not relish it. 
An apple pie is a veritable “drag” 
many times in late Spring. Make one 
like this pictured and I assure you it 
will melt away like mists before the 
warm sun. Prepare as for any apple pie 
by your favorite recipe. Leave off the 
Cost of Fruit Delivered 
Thinking that some of the readers of 
the “good old R. N.-Y.” might be in¬ 
terested in the cost of shipping one bushel 
of grapefruit from the State of Florida to 
the State of New York, I give the follow¬ 
ing facts. The bushel packed for ship¬ 
ment weighed 50 lbs. and contained 34 
grapefruit and six oranges. This was 
ordered from an advertisement in The 
R. N.-Y.
