Making Cider Vinegar.

A contributor to the Country Gen

10 or 20 years in cider making.

about three-fourths of an inch long,
and driven into tho cylinder until
they cut the apples about as fine as |
want them-not too fine, as the cider
will not run so clear. 1 use steel
wire as it is harder than iron, and
will not get dull so soon. When
very busy we put up three presses o
day, and do not intend to be more
than two hours in putting them up,
We then take the cider out as soon
as we possibly can-the sooner the
better. We think, as our cider al
ways commands good price in New
York, that is the best. We always
ship our cider as soon as made, so as
to have it delivered before fermenta-
ton commences.
The last run Of the press is put in
to the cellar and left there until it
becomes vinegar, which requires
from one to two years then you
have a good article.
As we are, sometimes overstocked
with apples, we have rotten ones,
which we run through tho Crater,
and put on the press the same as
sound apples it makes just as good
vinegar as sound apples perhaps
takes little longer. As to manufac-
tanng vinegar we can give no advice,

CHEEsE-MAKING IN WISCONSIN
AND THE NORTHWEST.
KENosnA. July 10Th. 1870.

hENosHA, July 18th, 1870.
The farmers Of Wisconsin are now
turning their affection to the maufac-
ture of cheese by the factory system.
After losing their grain crops for a
number Of years, they have gradual
ly worked themselves into the dairy
business, until now Wisconsin is the
second State in the Northwest in the
number of factories and the amount
Of cheese made. Cheese has been
made in the State of Vermont over
100 years, and in Orange and Herki-
mer counties, N. Y, over eighty
years. In 1850 only 100000 lbs
were shipped to England. In 1861,
100000 pounds, in 1869, 60,500,-
600. In 1861, cheese sold in New
York as low as four cents per pound,
but the demand increased, and when
the price increased to twelve and
fifteen oonts per pound the farmers
increased their stock Of cows, and
embarked in the profitable business
Of cheese making. The wise men
and timid farmers prophesied the
thing would be over done, that the
prices would be reduced to the old
rates. In the meantime the factory
system Of associated dairies was in
augurated, which gave the enterprise
such impetus that il astonished tho
wise prophets who were expecting
such tremendous crash. The in
crease was, 10 the United States,
from 105, 100000 pounds in 1850, to
2l0,000,00 pounds in 1869, Not
withstanding tho increase in the
manufacture Of cheese, prices have
steadily increased TO the present
time, and in 1868 the demand
exceeded the supply 72,000,000
pounds. The consequence was
that the price Of cheese was
raised. The season Of 1869 was
favorable and the yield Of butter
and cheese per COW was large
Cheese is no longer q luxury, but is
fast becoming substantial food and
no persons table is complete with
out its plato Of cheese. The report
VI bh1 4AlhOllGHu itAlIl LIcu y AhhOcl-
alton for 1868 gives tho following
statement Of butter and cheese fac

s iactories-now we have 81 in Ke-
nosha county, and 81 IN the State,
showing IL largo increase in two
years and over 1900 cows are at
,ached TO the same. The dairy pro-
ducts Of this country, Commissioner
Wells estimates at S40,000,000, an
increase Of 500 per cent. in nine
years. The value of the wheat crop
in 1869 was 1875, 900, 900 hay, $780,
100000 corn crop, $3.50, 900, 600 ;

have purchased the old Pier Co.'s
buildings, at the mouth of the har-
Dor, and erected other buildings. and
are now making 1000 boxes per day.
Their factory is so by 40 feet, with an
englneroom and model engine of %
horse power. They have put in all
kinds Of machinery of the latest pat
terms and inventions, and boxes are
constantly rolling from the factory to
the warehouse. The warehouse is
160 by 60 feet, 3 stories high, and
capable of storing 100000 boxes.
Their timber is brought from Michi-
gan, and is the best that can be pur-
chased. They employ 80 men, and
are furnishing boxes throughout the
Northwest at low prices.
The Northwestern railroad, and
others in Wisconsin, are reaping a
rich harvest from the transportation
of butter and cheese to market.
The officers of the different roads are
doing all they can to benefit the dai-
rymen, in lowering the price of
freights. They are finding out that
butter and cheese-making will be the
leading industrial interest Of the
Northwest. Although wheat has
taken the lead for years, now dairy
ing leads the raising OF grain, and
pays the best freight.
ILLINOIS.
In this state there are 33, $50 cows
attached to cheese factories, and, at
their value, $50, the capital invested
is s ,G19, goo, and AMOUNT of cheese
made at the average, 475 pounds,
amounts to 1857, 200 pounds, and,
at II cents per pound, 1928, 070.
Illinois is the banner state in the
Northwest. There are a few facto-
ries now in operation in Minnesota,
also in Iowa, Indiana and Michigan
and they will soon be as numerous
as in this state and Illinois. In
Monroe, Minnesota, there is a facto-
ry where nothing but Limburg
cheese is made, and the milk of $50
cows is used. In Lake Co, Illinois,
there is factory where the celebrat-
cd Sweitzer cheese is made. The
magnitude Of the dairying business
has not been appreciated, nor the
large amount of butter and cheese
made and the amount Of money re-
ceived for the same, even by those
in the business. 1t is not more than
ten years since it was introduced in
to this state, and it will from this
time increase in the same ratio it
has done. Never, perhaps, in the
history of the world, has any bust
ness increased to such magnitude in
so brief period as has that of dali
rying in this country.

The older girls are regularly inflated into the

are, in due time, made conversant with a

be hoped that these efforts may not prove IN

be as "bread cast upon the waters, which may
be seen after many days." and that the good
seed sown may spring up and produce an
abundant harvest, in the conservation of these
precious souls to Jesus.
One of the most beautiful features of their
regular religious exercises, is that of morning
and evening worship. When all the members
of this interesting household are assembled, an
appropriate portion of scripture is read, fol-

A Torpid system.

Sometimes, without any assignable cause, the
physical strength and animal spirits give way and
a strange torpOr falls alike on the body and intel
lect. There is little or no pain perhaps, but the
natural vigor and elasticity Of the nervous and
muscular system seems to have departed, and an
indifference to the pleasures of life and even of its
grave responsibilities takes the place of that
nest interest in both which characterizes every well
balan ed mind when in healthy condition.
This state of partial collapse is often the pre-
monitOry symptoms of some serious malady. It
Indicates Enthusiastically that the vital powers are
languishing and need a stimulant. In such cases
the effect Of a few doses of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is wonderfully beneficial. The great tonic
wakes up the system from its browse. The seere-
tions and the circulation receive a new impetus:
The relaxed nerves recover their elasticity under
the operations of the specific, like the slaekened
strength of musical instrument in the process Of
tuning. Lethargy and debility are replaced by en-
ergy and yigor, the spirits rise, and life that al
most seemed burden while the season Of depres-
sion lasted, becomes once more enjoyable. That
such a radical change should be produced by a
remedy entirely devoid of the powerful alkaloits
and minerals so extensively used in moders prae-
tice, may seem incredible to those who pin their
faith on the medicinal efficacy of active pOisons,
but if these skeptics will take the trouble to en-
duire Of those who have tes.ed the corrective and
Alternative vrtuous of the Bitters under the circu-
stances described, they'wil find the statement to
be true
