In a recent lecture, Dr. Nichols gave some results of analysis of apples, with a view to ascertain their great value as food, from which it appears that in a bushel of ripe Hubbardston Nonsuch there is about six pounds of soluble nutritive material; in Tolman's Sweet, about seven pounds, and in Baldwin about five pounds, and this material will vary to a considerable extent in value. These results agree with practical experience in feeding apples to animals. When fed in connection with meal they serve to give zest to the appetite, and to keep the animals in health. If cooked their value is much increased.
