Apple Butter.

A correspondent to the Rural Neac
Yorker says: "Apple butter, if prop
erly made, is indeed excellent. When
new, prefer it to the best of preserves,
and it will keep good eight or ten
years. Apple butter is considered
somewhat expensive, as it requires a
c,pper kettle, which will cost from
twelve to fifteen dollars but hereabouts
one man buys kettle, does his own
boiling with it, and then lets it out and
charges twenty FIVE or fifty cents day.
To one barrel of elder, take FIVE patent
pailfals of well peeled, cored and quar-
tered sweet apples /; then fill your ket
tie with cider, hang it over the fire, and
before it begins to boil, skim it well.
Boil down one-fourth, then rinse your
apples in clean water, and put part in
the kettle. Have ready what we call a
stirrer, which can be made of piece
OF inch board, FIVE inches wide at the
bottom, and two at the top, the length
of which dependsopon the height If
the kettle, with seven or eight holes in
the bottom, and handle-attached to it
at the top eight or ten feet long, so
that you can stir without suffering from
the heat of the fire. Stirring is done
so as to scrape the bottom of the ke-
tie to keep it from burning, keeping a
brisk fire, and stir well, putting the re-
naming apples in as fast as you can,
and boil down to seven or eight gallons.
The best way TO try it is to put some
In SANGER, and if it draws cider, it is
not cooked enough. Take large dip
per, and dip it out into crooks. Have
ready some ground cinnamon, sassa-
fras, aud anise seed put half table.
spoonful in each crock, and stir it
around then tie cloth OF paper around
them, and set them away. When cold,
1t forms sort of skin on top, which
must remain unbroken till the time you
want to nse it."
