caused by mercuriel disease, low living, dis

HOW TO HAVE GOOD CIDER.

A correspondent of the Boston Journal
says :-"Put the new cider in clean casks
or barrels, and allow it to ferment from
one to three weeks, according as the wca
ther is cool or warm. When it has at
tanned to lively fermentation, add to each
gallon three -fourths Of pound Of white
sugar, and let the whole fermeut again un-
til it possesses nearly the brisk pleasant
taste which is desirable should be perma>
nent. Pour out quart of the cider, and
mix with it one quarter of an ounce ofsul-
phite Of lime for every gallon that the cask
contains Stir until it is intimately mixed,
and then pour the emulsion into the liquid
Agitate the contents of the cask thoroughly
for few minutes, then let il rest that the
cider may settle. Fermentation will be
arrested at once, and will not be resumed
1t may be bottled in the course of a few
weeks, or it may be allowed to remain in
the cask and used on draught. If bottled
it will become sparkling cider, better
than what is called champagne wine. Pro,
fessor Horsford, of Cambridge, was the
first to use the sulphite of lime for this
purpose, and to him is due the credit Of
first calling attention to its usefulness. 1t
is in no respect doleterious, as the sulphite
into which the sulphate is changed by the
liberation of sulphurous acid, is entirely
insoluble, and remains at the bottom of
the vessel. The writer has cider prepared
in this way two years since, which has re-
mained unchanged, and is now a beverage
ofunsurpassed excellence. The sulphite
of lime, not the sulphates, must be used"
