PREsERvATIoN OF APpLEs.-The
venerable Noah Webster first taught
us how to spell, then how to pro
nounce and define apples: he now
sells US how to preserve them. In a
letter published in the Massachusetts
Agricultural Repository, he says -
The best mode of preserving Apples
for spring use, l have found to be the
putting of them in dry sand as soon az
picked. For this purpose l dry sand
IN the heat of the summer, and late in
October put down the apples in Law
ers' with covering ofsand upon each
layer. The singular advantages of
. ,n mode of treatment are these {: /.
Inc sand keeps tire apples from the
air, which is essential to their preser-
walton. 2. The sand checks the e.
vaporatlon of the apples, thus presery-
ing their full favour the same fine
any moisture yielded by the apples
and some there will be, J is absorbed
ny the sand, so that the apples are
kept dry, and all mustiness is prevent
pippins in May and June are
as fresh as when first picked even
the ends of the stems look as if lust Sc
parated from the twig."

FROM THE WEST rENNEssEEAN.
CIDER.

Many a slovenly slubberdegullion,
misnamed cultivator, but who, in
stead of acquiring any thing by his
vocation, mars every thing he med
dies with, is in the habit of spelling
fruit by making it into bad cider. In.
stead OF making a delectablo bever-
age, compared with which even nee
tar itself is naught but nonentity, he
gives you villainous compound,
which dehes chemical analysis, but
resembles most mixture ofbilge wa
ter calculated with aqua forts. In
order to avoid this consummation, de-
voutly to be deprecated, you should
proceed as follows, to wit: For store
cider of the best quality, gather your
apples as late as the first of Noyem-
Der, and let them lie till mellow, but
not rotten. Grind them in trough
large enough to hold cheese, and let
the pumice remain therein, before you
press 1t, from twelve to twenty-four
hours, according to the temperature
OF the weather. Press it slowly, and
putt into casks through straw, or a
coarse sieve, and pat the casks into a
cool place. Leave out the bungs till
the fermentation principally subsidies.
Then drive the bungs in tight, but
leave small spiggot vent a while
longer if necessary to prevent the bar
rel from bursting. Rack off in Janu.
airy, and fumigate with sulphur, by a
process too common to need describ
ing. Then if you wish your cider
should be stronger than the simple
juice will make it, add from one to
three gallons of cider spirit to each
hogshead. Fill the vessels quite full,
and stop them air tight, and let the CT
der remain at least year before it is
drawn for use. BY means like these.

A tourist thus notices the Canter.
bury cider:
Their fine Cider sells in Boston
tor ten dollars the barrel, fact which
has several times gone the rounds of
the newspapers. We madeparticular
enquiries respecting their mode of
manufacturing this article, but could
not learn that they had any peculiar
process. Their fruit is of the ordina-
~ kind, and the apples are gathered
as they fall, and housed. Late in
November they are ground in a mill,
ai'el the detective ones have been
carefully separated, and the pumice is
senered to remain in the vat over
night, and until it assumes red color
throughout. It is then pressed in the
usual manner, but not too hastily. and
the cider is put into casks perfectly
cream and sweet. They prefer rum
hogsosads, when it is possible to OBJ
tam them. In December, after the
fermentation has subsidized, they rack
on the liquor, and add to each hogs
mead gallon of Brandy distilled from
the lees Of the cider. In March thew
again rack into clean hogsheads, and
the liquor requires no further atten-
ton. They never drink it until it is
at least two years old, and it continues
TO improve by age. That which we
tasted was five years old"
