A British pomologist (Dr. Lind
ley) writes thus: THE loading
down branches of trees by an O.
vercrop of fruit is most injurious;
for the pores of the woody stalk
are strained on one side of the
bend and compressed on the other,
hence the vessels through which
requisite nourishment flows being
partially closed, the growth of the
TRUTHS retarded in proportion to
the straining and compression Of
the stalk.

Cider and Vinegar.

To make the 6eStcider, the fol-
lowing rules should be invariably
observed:
First. Pick the apples from the
trees. If they are shaken some
viii inevitably be bruised, and
the juice drawn to these bruised
places will become tainted, impure,
and thus rob the final flow of Its
choicest flavor.
Second. Keep the apples after
they are picked until they become
mellow, but not rotten. If the
juice is expressed while the fruit
is green and hard, there is an un-
pleasant acidity about it; if after
| the apples are rotten, there is a
sort of a fat taste, which is exceed
ingly disagreeable.
Third. See that everything a.
bout the fruit, about the bin in
which it is placed before being ia.
ken to the mill, about the mill
lin which it is ground, about the
press where the juice is forced
from the pulp, is thoroughly clean,
so that nothing that has any im-
purity, or that can impart any 9TH
er flavor, can possibly reach the
pure juice of the apples.
To have the product perfect, all
wormy or worm-eaten fruit should
be cast aside, the stems separated
from the apple, and the fruit noI
ground so fine as to break the dark
covering of a single seed.
The more closely these rules arc
observed, the better the product
will be; but common article, such
as will make good vinegar, can be
made of ordinary refuse fruit
fruit that has been shaken, and
partly decayed, or which from
any cause is not established and is
unstable.
When the cider is intended for
vinegar, it should be allowed to re.
main out of the cellar nil it has
thoroughly worked" -fermented
and then should be drawn out
of the original casks and put in
others, where, If possible, there is
always little vinegar, which will
amazingly hasten the process
If no vinegar can be obtained to
"start" the cider, it must remain
in a dry cellar six months, and
sometimes 4 year before it will be
fit for the table.-Heorth and
Home.

QUEEN OF PUDDINGs.-One pint
of crumbs, one quart of sweet
milk, four eggs, lump of butter,
the size of hickory nut. When
the pudding is nearly done, spread
a layer of any kind of stewed
fruit over the top of it, and on
the top of that, spread the whites
of three eggs beaten to a froth,
with three tablespoonfuls of white
sugar. Set in the oven again to
stiffen the froth. Eat with cream
and sugar.

A correspondent OF the CoHn'
try Gentleman gives her method Of
hulIing corn, as follows: She
puts the corn in an iron kettle,
covers it with I've, and boils it mo-
derately until the bulls start pref
~ freely by rubbing with the
hands. She then skins the corn
into a pail of cold water until a.
bout clean. The corn is then a.
gain boiled, the water being chan
gcd two or three times so as to re-

New Point in a Good Cow.

"Dairyman," in the practical
Farmer" for September, presents
a point in choosing for a cow,
which is new to US, but there is
certainly sound philosophy in it.
Other things being equal, he con-
siders a COW which brings her
first calf at a season of the year
when feed ia fresh and tender and
most productive of milk, as the
month Of June, worth twice as
much as one that brings her first
calf in winter. He says he saw
very promising half Alderney
heller which took premium at
the Pennsylvania State Fair, for
which the owner asked SEQ. He
offered TO give the price, provided
she was to calve in June, but End
ing she was to calve in February,
$50 was all that he would offer
for Der.
Long observation and expert
ence with heifers and their subse-
quent characters as mixers have
satisfied him that commencing
milk in early summer is an indis-
pensable condition to a good milk
er in after years, and the difference
is fully one-half in any grade Of
stock. The philosophy of the diff
ference in favor of hrifers coming
in tor the first time in June, he
states as follows:
"The grass being then in the
best condition to produce a full
flow of milk, all the parts that
tend to the secretion of milk are
developed to their utmost capacity.
The udder, the teats and milk
veins become enlarged, permanent
ly !; and the best COWS | ever raised
we had to commence milking sew
eral weeks before they calved, to
prevent garget."
The theory seems to be that the
milk vessels become fixed in their
capacity by their use, or a subse-
quent development viii be after
the type they are first made to
assume. 1t is not reasonable to
suppose that heifer of two years
under any circumstances, will
give as much milk as the same
animal viii at four years old,
with the same antecedents, and in
this sense, the milk vessels can.
not be fully developed with the
first calf if the heifer be quite
young. But it is reasonable to
suppose that the type of the lac
teal vessels in their proportions
TO the age and general develop
ment of the animal will become
fixed at the period alluded to, and
the idea is well worth the atten.
ton Of every farmer.

To RExoYE TIE TASTE OF Woop

To REMOVE THE TASTE OF WOOD.
"A new keg, churn, bucket or
other wooden vessel, will general
ly communicate a disagreeable
taste to any thing that is put into
it. Toprevent the inconvenience,
scald the vessel well with boiling
water, letting the waterremain in
it until cold f; then dissolve some
pearlash or soda in lukewarm wa
ter, adding a little lime to it wash
the inside of the vessel well with
this solution. Afterwards scald
it well with hot water, and rinse
with cold water before you use it.
The reason for this is, the ready
combination of resinous matter
with alkalies to form compounds
soluble in alcohol.

To KEEP POTATOES FOR SEED
When first dug, let them dry of
well by lying several days spread
out thin on the barn floor; if they
are greened by the sun it is a doub
le advantage, for no careless cook
will take of them twice for boil
ing. Then place them in a cool
dry part of the cellar, on a floor of
boards, and not more than two feet
deep. Never keep them III bar
rels. Examine them during the
winter, and if they show a ten
dency TO grow, rub the eyes off
and spread them out thinner.--Am

for-naughts had not been listening at the door,
to pick up few hints.
The meal was finished. Honoria produced a
brown dish of hot water, and began tenderly
washing her precious cups and saucers, now
stealing an unseen glance of satisfaction at
Wllie's undeniable presence, and then retiring
again into that drcamland, which is often with
womena substitute for the outer stirring world
which they cannot share with men. When
speak Of the dreams of my heroine, who was
but a simple work-a-day country girl, do not
mean to present you with an absurdity by
making her also a visionary or q sentimental
list. She was the very reverse of either, but
women in their youth, be they gentle or simple,
will dream and weave hopes and fancies into q
fabric, which, at least, they come to believe
must be called reality. This, especially if they
have none near like themselves to whom to
talk away their thoughts they rise, but must
lay them by to engender more thoughts. And
all the fancies, and wishes, and wonderings,
muster strong at last, that they must have
a home of their own to live in, and thus a world
is created, and its creator nestles into it, and
views life from her happy retreat. Alas and
alas! that this dream world of ours should have
rose-tiuted window panes which get broken in,
and reveal to us the actual world as it is, very
sad and sober, sometimes very dark and terrible
The discussion went on between Michael and
his opponent. Willie Glen joined in it just
enough to keep the old mans mind from stray
ing to other subjects. Honoria was pleased at
her lovers silence, he was awed by her fathers
experienced sagacity. She loved him the bet
ter for that.
