CIDER MAKING.

In gathering cider apples, care should be ia
ken that they he thoroughly ripe before they
are taken from the tree otherwise the cider
will be ofa rough. harsh taste, in spite oil all the
endeavors Of the operator IL is observed by
Crocker, in his tract on the art Of making and
managing Cider, that the most certain ndiea'
ton OF the rpeness of apples, is the fragrance
Of the smell, and their spontaneously dropping
from the trees. When they are in this state OF
maturity, in dry day, the limbs may, he says,
be lightly shaken, and partly disbnrdened OF
their golden store; thus taking such apples on
y as are ripe and leaving the unrlpe longer on
the trees that they may also acquire due de
gree Of maturity. II may moi, he thinks, be a.
miss TO make three gatherings of the crop, keep
ing eachby itself The latter gathering, as
vel as wind falls. can, however, only be en-
ployed in making inferior cider: the prime
cider must be drawn from tie former gather
ngs.

had, by drawing air through perpendicular box

which he has termed perpetual motion. and

There is no doubi but this gentleman has put

for this his ingenuity he may deserve some cred

whether IL is in fact, what we have heretofore
understood was the much sought after perpet-

II appears to me that II the one Is perpetual

Il appears that this perpetual motion is the
result Olive or six years application to the
subject, and yet Mr.. Van by Ike is extoiled for
his great ingenuity.
