People would eat large quantities of 
apples if they realised what a splendid 
food they are. They excite the action of 
the liver and promote sound sleep. 
Over thirty yerrs ago a promiuent 
English horticulturist predicted that 
Great Britain would soon become inde- 
dendent of American, Canadian, and 
other outside supplies of apples, The 
importations, however, are now greater 
than ever known before. 
“Tam afraid I have greatly interfered 
with my own practice,” said a celebrated 
aurist, “by giving the following advice to 
many of my friends—At the first symp- 
tom of earache, let the patient lie on the 
bed with the painful ear uppermost. 
Fold a thick towel, and tuck it round the 
SD sr eS tA eo Neate Ne cE - Send for quotes for any article required, 
with warm water. Continne doing this 
for fifteen or twenty minutes; the water 
will fiill the ear orifice and flow over on 
the towel. Afterwards, turn over the 
head, let the water run out, and plug the 
ear with warm glycerine and cotton. This 
may be done every hour antil relief is 
obtained, It is almost invariable cure, 
and has saved many cases of acute in- 
flammation. The water should be quite 
warm, but not too hot.” ;

The apple has more phosphoric acid in 
easily digested shapes than any other 
fruit, and forms an excellent food for 
those engaged in much brain work. 
In Paris the authorities are going to 
build a Palace of Agriculture as an agri- 
cultural centre for France. It is to be a 
building worthy of the importance of the 
industry. : 
The earth is like a lampwick, full of 
pores, and the moisture is drawn up by 
the sun like the flame draws up the oil. 
Leaving the ground open and rough 
promotes the escape of moisture ; closing 
ap the top with fine dirt closes up the 
pores so that the moisture cannot escape, 
It isa mistake to think that any land 
no matter how rich it might have been in 
the beginning cau be cropped year after 
year and not show signs of loss. Con- 
tinual growing of any one crop on the 
same land will in a short time bring 
about a diminution of yield. 5 - 
Six big American agricultural imple- 
ment makers have combined together to 
get control of the Russian market. 
Onions require rich soi], and it is im- 
portant to see that they are kept free of 
weeds, especially at the start.
