SoRcua CIDER - The Nashville (Tenn.)
Homestead says that besides the excellent
syrup and sugar made from the China sugar
cane, there is yet another article obtained
from 1t which is of pleasant taste, and doubt
less healthy in its consequences. 1t is OBJ
tanned by putting the expressed juice Of the
cane into any clean wood or glass vessel,
allowing It to stand ten or twelve days,
when it assumes the appearance of limpid
water, and is fit for use. The flavor is simi-
lar to our best cider, and we suppose might
be properly called cane cider.

dried fruit as good as pealed, and in fact even
better, il l. dest,eratum, the supplying Of
which would be very acceptable to all who
are in the habit Of drying this excellent and
desirable fruit for table use. A lady friend
Of the writer has found it out, and communi.
Gated il 10 him. and he viii here describe IL.
Make tolerably strong lye with wood ashes,
boiling them ~ the water--letting it stand,
alter beng boiled sufficiently, until The ashes
settle to the bottom, then put the peaches to
be dried 10 this, tCarm, but not hot enough to
cnOk them ans and rub them in il awhile.
Then take them out and wash them in clear
cold water. This process will take all the furze
entirely oft, and leave them as slick and
smooth as nectarines, with nothing but thin

Peaches dried in this way will be found to
