Imhorfant DiScovery.-An intelligent gen

farmer, has recently discovered an excel
lent substitute for MolaSses He had GUAM
tity of sweet apples ground, then look the
juice Immediately from the press, before the
fermentation had commenced, put it into
large boiler and boiled it down to a syrup.
which in taste is pleasanter than the com.
mon w. l. Molasses, and appears as little
liable to ferment. From four gallons of
juice he obtained one gallon of syrup-by
boiling longer it's quantity and sonsistence
would probably be improved. AT "a time
when every article of consumption is enhan>

Lodged. To manufacturers, however who are
presumed to be interesiM in practical know
