with the fact that it is weather and fire proof,
its genera! adoption cannot be too earnestly
urged. Their Gutta Percbs Cement for

Ey How TO HAVE Coop CIpER-Pro es.
sor Hornsford, of Harvard University, has re.

may be arrested at pleasure and the cider
preserved in such state as may be desired
We may add that less sugar and lees sui

clear, sound apples. We prepared excellent
cider last November without sugar, using only
about half the quantity of the sulphte of
lime, which neutralzss the acid, aud will make
the cider fat il more than the requisite quan
tity is used
Put the new cider 10 clean casks or barrels,
aud allow il to fermeDt from one to three
weeks, according as the weather is cool or
warm. When it has attained to lively fer.
meutatioo, add to each gallon three -fourths of
pound of white sugar and let the whole fer
ment again until it possesses nearly the brisk,
pleasant taste which il is desirable should be
permanent. Pour out Il quarter of 40 ounce
OF snIphlte OF lime for every gallon the cssk
contains. Stir until it is intimately mixed, and
pour the emulsion into the LIQUID Agitate
TIE contents OF the cask thoroughly for a fe "
minutes, and then let it rest that the cider
may settle. Fermentation will be arrested at
once, and will rot be resumed. 1t NAV be
bottled in the course of a few weeks. or il
may be allowed to remain in the cask and
used on draueht. IL bottled it will become o
sparkling cider, better than what is called
champagne wine.

first to use the sui phite Of lime for this pur.
pose, aud to him is due the credit of calling
