passing a light roller lungways of the ridges
or by breaking down the ridge with the

then be made along the centre of the fiat

which the seed should either be sowed with

GOOD CIDER,

1t is of Importance, in making cider,
that the mill, the press, and all the
materials be sweet and clean, and the
straw clear from must 70 make good
cider, the fruit must be ripe, (but not
rotten) and, when the apples are ground,
if the juice is left in the pummace for
twenty -four hours, the cider will be
richer softer and higher colored; if the
fruit is all of the same kind, it is gen.
orally thought that the cider will be
better, as the fermentation will certainly
be more regular, which is of importance.
Tue gathering aud grinding the apples,
aud pressing out the juice, is u mere
manu- labor performed with very little
skill in the operator; bat here the
great work of making good cider colu-
mences. If the juice of the fruit is left
to itself, it undergoes three distinct fer
mentatiuus, all Of which change the
quality Of this duid. The first is the
| tinous the second the Acid, which
makes iI.bard ,oua prepares il far,viae.

The juice Of apples should undergo to
make good cider. 1t is the operation
that separates the Glth from the juice,
aud leaves It clear, sweet, yinous

the grand secret this is done by fumi-
eating it with sulphur, which checks

BOTTLED CIDER.

One of our exchanges advises bottling
cider, and gives the following directions
For bottling let the purnice lie in the
trough over night. The first run of the
cider from the press is the best. Let
the cider work day or two, the casks
being full, SO that the pumice may pass
off at the bung-hole. Then take au
empty cask, clean and sweep, put into
it ten or twelve gallons of the cider,
thrust into the cask through the bung.
holes an ignited rag-sulphur match,
suspended by Il wire from the bung-
hole, to which it is to be attached; and
after this another, and so on, til three
or four matches have been consumed.
Then shake the cask violently, until the
fumes Of the sulphur are completely in.
corporated with the cider. Pour the
cider :hus prepared into the cask in
which you propose to keep it for the
winter. Repeat tho same process until
the cask is full. Bung the cask tight,
and let it remain in the cellar till
March, aud then draw the cider off and
bottle it. Place the bottle upon the
bottom of the cellar, and cover with
sand. Some place the bottles bottom
up, in trench or between two bits Of
ioists, as in this way the corks viii
remain secure without Irvine or wire.
If you dou't care to bottle it, you car
make excellent cider in this way Take
pure cider, Put it into clean casks ther
after the cider has wooked so as to b,
pleasant, add to each barrel a pint O
mustar-seed, and bung tight. The eide
will remain till Spring of pleasant TASTE
aud sparkling appearance, when poured
into tumbler.-- Marglond Faynier.
