vain hope of getting a few dozen floating
votes from men without principles, are will

any other terms This fact is happily be-
coming apparent even to the dull spprehen-

To Keep Clder sweet and Good.

We publish below Professor HorsfOrds
valuable recipe for preserving cider sweet
and sparkling. 1t has been tested by many
and pronounced just thing. Be particular

tho President of the Massachusetts Horticul-

CABR1DGE, October %, 1855
DEAR SR:-I beg to inclose Recipe for
improving cider.
The object to which my efforts have been
directed was, to provide cheap, easily man
aged and perfectly safe agent for arrestin g
fermentation at any desired stage ofits pro-
gress. .c,,,ar
The fermentation of the sugar Of th1 &c, to5
II Is wall known, = sV 1HS iSA M
Of an albuminous substance which the cider
holds in suspension or solution.
By fermentation the sugar is first converted
into alcohol and carbonic acid. If tile al
luminous matter be in great excess, as it
uniformly is, its fermentation goes forward
to convert the alcohol acetic acid, and the
cider becomes sour. If the quantity of sugar
be large, a corresponding quantity of alcohol
will be produced. When it is notin sufficient
quantity, it may be added to the cider, and
more Of the albuminous matter consumed to
produce alcohol and carbonic acid, and of
course less will remain to convert the alcohol
nto vinegar.
But if when the fermentation has been car
ried forward just far enough to impart to the
ider the taste which is most preferred-when
It is sparkling, still sweet, but slightly acid
#, at this stage, the albuminous matter be
withdrawn, the cider will permanently retain
its acceptable favor. ISL
To accomplish this withdrawal, l employ
| SULPHITE OF LIME-a salt made soluble only
by acid, and of course quite inert until acid,
presents itself to the cider. As soon as
| fermentation produces acetic acid this salt
Yields sulphurous acid, which destroys the
ferment. This is essentially the agent en-
ployed to prevent fermentation in the wine
production of France.
The substance employ settles at the bottom
with the lees, and may be entirely separated
| from the cider.
The testimony ofquite number oRfriends,
/ who have, for the last three years. followed
/ the Recipe, as well as the experiments have
myself directed, are so emphatic as to the
excellence of the result that feel justified in
submitting to the attention Of the Horticul-
tural Society this method of improving
cider. I aul, very respectfully, your obedient
servant
