The Springfield Republican says re-
cent letter from gentleman in Parkers-
burg, Va, has in substance efoliowing:
An old Dutchmaa IN that city has a
novel method Of making cider. He has
practiced it for several years with sue
cess. He purchases a large quantity of
apples and grinds them, in the ordinary
way. He has a number of large casks
prepared, standing on an end and open at
the top. At the bottom of each cask is
a faucet, whose, mouth is protected by
sticks placed crosswise, and clean rye
straw foot Deep Into these casks and
upon this strainer the pomaceis shoveled
as. soon as ground, When the casks are
full, about as much water is poured
into each cask as the pomace. The
casks and opomaee then remain undis-
turbed for two or three days, when the
faucet being opened the cider runs out.
Cider is heavier than water, and in its
first stages does not mix. The pomace
having. "a much greater affinity for water,
constantly ejectsits own juice withoutthe
aid Of press. If too much water has
been accidentally poured on the pomace, it
will remain on the top of the cider and
not run from the eask until all the cider
is out, The faucet should be closed as
soon as the drippings look pale. On
pressing pieces of the pomace after this
process they viii be found tasteless. Such
is the German theory.
The same old Dutchman manufactures
what he calls stNehin's Pure American
Wine, as follows: He takes common
box of raisins, chops them up like mince
meat, and after the cider ceases to fer
ment, puts them into barrel of this
liquid, together with small bag ofchar-
coal. After few months the cider by
some hocus process becomes pure Amer
lean Wine It is then ready for bot
tling, and if tightly corked will keep
forever. Some thirty barrels of this
liquid brought at auction recently from
81 to s11 per barrel. 'i.5@

SubsoiI PloMing.

The use of the subsoil pillow does not
elevate the subsoil to the surface, and
thus removes the only objection ever
urged against its use. 1T does not per-
nit the atmosphere to enter the soil to a
greater depth. It:enables the roots to
travel through larger portions of soil,
and thus come in contact with greater
amount of food. It prepares the sub
soil for future elevation and admixture
with the surface soil, thus deepening all
of our soils tdoes away with sour
ness of soil It prevents drouth by ena-
bling the atmosphere ladened with mois-
ture to come in contact with cold sur
faces on which it will be deposited by
condensation. No well subsoiled field
ever suffered from drouth. ;. No sub
soiled meadows ever run out. For until
roots are brought in contact with cold
and undisturbed subsoil, their crowns
can never cease to tiiler, and thus re-
place such crowns as may be broken by
cattle's feet while pasturing. Old mead
ows may be subsoiled without turning
over the sod, lifting the whole field half
an inch, suffering dead roots to decay,
and new ones to form, admitting atmos-
phere and moisture, and regenerating
the growth, SO that ordinary top dressing
may cause new yigor. ,!{ s.

Grating Wax.


The old standard grating wax is, three
parts beeswax, three parts rosin, and two
parts beef tallow. In water, from which
the chill has been taken by the addition
of little warm water, it softens SO as to
be easily nodded by the fingers, This
will not melt except it be exposed to in
tense sun heat. The kind composed of
equal parts of tallow, wax and rosin,
melts easier, and is more pliable in. cold
weather, and by many preferred. Cloth
strips, an inch to an inch and a halfwide,
or wider, dipped in boiling wax, to which
still more tallow is added, and drawn,
several at a time, through between two
pieces of wood or metal placed over the
Kettle, to deprive them Of surplus of
wax, form very neat, convenient substi-
tute for the grating wax as it is ordina-
rily used, andsare still more effective.
