The report .on the nutritive value of .Bovril read before the Annual Meeting of the British Medical Association, is attracting wide attention in the medical profession. The "British Meciical. Jour- nal" of September 16 devot- ed some six pages to. giving a detailed account of the re- cent experiments, in which it was shown that in the case of human beings he body-building ower of Bov- ril was "even more marked" than had been previously shown in the experiments with animals. A further ar- ticle has just appeared in the "Medical Times," and that journal points out that the results of these experi- ments " were simply start- ling." "It was found that in all cases the administration of the ex- tract (Bovril) caused an im- mediate'Berea.se Of'weig ht." One important pointbrouglat out by these experiments is the fact that this increase in weight is in tissue and mus- cle, and not fat, showing that Bovril must therefore be regarded as a true nutri- ent, anti an essenitial part of the diet of every , man, wo- man ancl. child.

(By J. B. Dandenn, A. M. Bees; maue.) What .fortilizer villshould be applied . to the apple orchard 1 This ques- tion is of very considerable import- ance, and is 0110 very frequently asked by thoso who are in earnest in apple culture, To a certain ex- tent, it is a qucstiolr of great diffi- culty because it is nearly impos- sible to get reliable experimental evidence. Because of the fact that there are so many conditions In- volved in research of this kind, and because of the long time necessary to carry out the research, we have very few positive facts to give forth. In making these statements con- cerning the use of fertilizers, the writer is fully aware of the fact that much has been said, and many advertisements sent out regarding the success of this, that and the other fertilizer, but some proof must be given before accepting without question what has been said. On examining all the data available (the matter having been ': under investigation by the writer, for ten years) one is lead to cer- tain canoe :isms, the gist of which 'is here presentee] for the use of the apple -growers of the district. Ex- porimental evidence is the only satisfactory agreement, and the only kind that can be accepted by the investigator, but it requires a trained physiologist to manipulate the experitnental data and to read !them in the light of the most re- cent advances in scientific research, However, these have been carried on fer some years past, both on this ' continent and in Europe, under ex- pert guidance, and for a sufficient length of time to warrant some use- ful conclusions. One of these, which represents practically a general expression of them all with respect to the matter of apple orchard fer- tilization, is now given as present- ing practically all we knew at the present time of the subject The experiment was carried on at Geneva, N. Y., for eleven years, and was planned out carefully with a view towards ascertaining results over a long period of time. The orchard was divided into seven dif- ferent plots—one withoutfertiliz- er of any kind, one with barnyard manure, and five other plats, each treated to a different kind of com- mercial fertilizer. In estimating the results from year to year, the following were considered :—Yield, size. color, flavor, keeping quality, maturity, growth of tree, the amount, color and weight of foli- age, as well as the size and equality of the leaf. Here is a statement given at the end of ten years as to the general results:—"As com- pared with the cheek the fertilizers had no sensibly. LIi'oets upon tial yield of fruit," and further, "As a practical outcome of the experi- ment it is concluded that apple trees do not need fertilizers of any kind if they are making a fair amount of growth." What, then, should be done to keep up the fertility? Tillage, drainage, mulch crops, and gener- al attention to the trees are all that is necessary unless the orchard is on poor, gravelly or sandy soil. If the orchard is poor this can best be remedied by a light application of well -scattered barnyard manure followed by proper cultivation and the use of clover, buckwheat, vetches and the like ae green ma - Aura. It must not be forgotten that the soil is a natural store- house 'of the requisite inorganic matter, and that the orchardist has only to keep the soil in a sanitary condition. Drainage usually means simply the removal of surplus water frons the soil. But there is a number of oonditions dependent . on this re- moval of water, the knowledge of which make the subject stand out ever so much marc prominently. Stagnant water prevents the oper- ation of aerobic bacteria, which are essential; it prevents a supply of oxygen, also essential ; it frequent- ly develops an acid condition often fatal to ,plant roots; it favors the development of certain injuritt,us organisms, chiefly protozoans; it also affects many other physeal and chemical -conditions which need nob be mentioned here, it weeild be wise to go slow with regard especially. to commercial fertilizers. There is absolutely no proof as yet that they aro of ma- terial value in increasing the fer- ti)fty of an orchard, Bowmanvilio Statesman, Fratornite, hearing away diagon- ally towards the left. But if the Frenchwoman was a good walker, Edith, Talbot was a better one, and now that she no longer feared notice—for she drapoci the large shawl as elegantly about her shoulders as any woman in Marseilles—she decided to adopt a little strategy. Instead of keeping directly behind mademoiselle, she broke into a run under the sha- dow of the houses. By thus making up ground she approached the nar- row street towards which the Frenchwoman was heading almost simultaneously with her quarry, but apparently from an opposite direction. The aspect of the thor- oughfare through which the two women sped was forbidding in the extreme, " The houses were many Istoreys in height, of disreputable appearance, and se close together on both sides that, were other con- ditions equal, an active man might easily spring from one room into another across the street. There were, ' of course, many other people in the street besides themselves, else Edith's self-impos- ed piece of espionage would have been rendered difficult, if not im- possible. (To be continued.)
