Professor Horsfora's Mode Of Pteserv-
Ing Cider.
We hare been asked 80 many times to reprint
the excellent recipe Of Prof Horsfosd for arrest
Ing the fermentation Of cider or other saccharfne
sompy ha7e he PEI 9s so aa to
Eatiefy@s Of Its Talue. and recommend our readers
to do hkewise. Our plan r. bag been to add the su-
sulphite 6oon afterwards, and in somewhat larger
quantity than here recommended. The sugar
nakers add the sulphite as soon as the Juice Is ex
obEtr1ct the fermentation BY absorbing Oxygen,
and thereby preventing. the elimination Of the
seas1s particles. The following is the recipe:
lively fermentation, add 81 much white augar as
will be equal to half or three-qua1ters Of pound
proceed Until the liquid attatns the right taste to
suit; then add an eighth to quarter Of an ounce
Of suphite mot sulphate} Of lime to each gallon Of
quart Of the cider. and then pouring it back into
the caEk, aud giving it thorough shaking or
rolling: After standing bungea up a few days, for
cider, it may be bottled or used from the eask.
Don't mistake eulPhate Of lime, which ie a
natural production, and known IS plaster Of Paris.
for fu1phtte OF lime, which Is manufactured art1
Gle, and Ia worth by the barrel about IS cents q
POND, and and by 2 TIE c"t; 55A cents, apd BY the
much used By sugar makers to prevent fermenta-
ton Of cane juice: a1d in our opinion it will be
found more effective as preventive Of termeuta-
uon IN cider than as an a1reeter Of it after it has
proceeded nearly to completion
We cut the above from the New York Tfi-
6une year sgo. We tried the recipe practi
cally last winter and found it to work admin
bly,. Whoever wants good cider for the
winter should cut it out and prepare it as
above directed.
