j&n*.. a». Ask the Old Farmer: Have you ever
heard of "apple tree" sailors and do you
3bM|Mknow what they were and why they were
es Oeep-water sailors sneered at the coast
ers because they did business in shoal water
They did not navigate in the proper sense
vfrßj ■ and were said to smell their way from port to
port along the coast. In thick or stormy weather they toere said to hold a
course by keeping within the smell of the apple trees ashore. It might be
added that there was a certain amount of truth in this The "land smell"
can be delected for miles at sea and many a canny coaster took advantage
of the fact
Home Hints; To reheat baked potatoes, dunk them m hot water before cooking
in a moderate oven
