FOOD VALUE OF APPLES.
Fruit as an article of foed, and more es
pecially applet, have been proved of great
value. Some farmers save annually in I able bv earthly tribunal!.
Canada will no longer be the refuge of bood
leri and other criminals from the United States.
The Weldom Extradition bill, which was passed
at the last session of the Dominion Parliament
provides for the arrest and return of persons
guilty of almost any of the graver crimes punish-
various ways quite a sum of money by the
use of green and dried fruit upon their
tables, not merely by the amount of ali
ment afforded, but adding to the variety
and to the list of luxuries enables them to
reduce the amount of other and more
costly articles. By planting rich and high
flavored sorts for culinary purposes, instead
of the of an inferior grade,a great saving
may be made in sweetening and spices
The amount of sugar and other ingredi
ents used for making bad apples geod is
often mere than enough to buy good ap.
ples.sugar and all. Fall Pippins, for exam
ple, at fifty certs per bushel, have been
found more economical than poor and in
sipid varieties at fifteen cents per bushel.
By a free use of the best sweet apples
through autumn and wlnter.for baking and
for puddings, some families have avoided
large expenditures. The aggi egate saving
in the million of American families who
might enjoy the privilege of plenty of
ruit, with a general cultivation ( the bes'
kinds for a succession the year through,
might perhaps be set down.without extrav
agance,as more than half the expenses of
the general Government.
Kot less important is the value of fruit
as an article of food for domestic animals.
Although direct and careful experiments
by weighing and measuring are still want
ing, enough ha been ascertained to prove
that apples, especially the richer, sweet
varieties, as food for cattle and swine, are
fully equal to potatoes, and seme of the
most careful trials already made indicate
their decided superiority, being about as
seven to five. The chemical analysis cf
these two productions show the superiority
of the apple in the aliment it con'ains,and
also proye that some sorts excel others i
richness and value. Hence the importance
of ascertaining bv careful trial those sorts
best adapted to feeding and fattening.
For fattening swine, apples are particu
larly excellent. Seme farmers have saved
a large percentage of the expense of pork
making by allow ing their hogs to run on a
part of their orchards w hile the autumn

June 21st, X8S9,
. fruit was falling from the trees. A farmer,
last year, sold forty dollars worth of pork
fattened largely with the "droppings" of
only half an acre of good grafted orchard
The process was complete by a week cr
two of feeding with grain. Even common
seeding apples, if cooked, are valuable.
In one experiment, 500 pounds of pork
weie made from 1:0 bushels of .apples.
I here is no doubt, however, that selected
grafted varieties weuld have been found
much superior. Even the hogs them
selves are good judges, and show much
discrimination in choosing the best trees
whenever a plentiful supply is allowed
them. For milch cons, sweet apples reg.
ularly fed, after be'ng sliced to prevent
cheking, have been found to increase the
milk considerably in quantity. They are
also good for horses, as well as for nearly
all other domestic animals.
As an article of comfort and luxury, the
value of fruit can scarcely be estimated.
The few who have learned by actual expe
rience the enjoyment of the best and most
delicious sorts for the whole twelve months
would not willingly relinquish the privilege.
Many, it is true,have furnished themselves
with occasional supplies of their own rais
ing ; they possess only a few scattered
fragments of the yearly circle of fruits;
but the number is yet too small, although
rapidly increasing, w ho may place upon
their tables delicious tort, on almost any
day of the entire year.
