terms OF the Presidential question.
The General takes the same position
respecting this subject that he did il

HOW TO PREsEvF CIDER.

A pure, sweet cider Il only attainable
from clean, sound fruit and the fruit
should therefore be carefully examined
and wiped before grinding.
F. In the press % hair CLOTH or gunny In
place Of straw. A. the cider runs from
the press let IL pass through hair sieve
into large open vessel that will hold As
much juice as can be expressed in one
day. In one day, or sometimes less, the
pomice will rise to the top, and In q
short time grow very thick. When lit
tie white bubbles break through 1t draw
of The liquid through very small spi-
got, placed about three inches from the
bottom, % that the lees may be left be-
hind. The cider must be drawn off In
to very clean, sweet casks, preferably
fresh liquor Casks, and closely watched.
The moment the white bubbles, before
mentioned, are preceived rising at the
bunghole, rack 1t again. It is usually
necessary to repeat this three lines.
Then fill up the cask with cider In every
reapect like that originally contained In
Il add . lumber Of warm SWEET Oil, and
bung up tight. For very fine cider 1t is
Gust mary TO add ct this stsge Of the
process about half . pound Of glucose
(starch sngar), or . smaller portion OF
white sugar. The cask should then be
allowed TO remain In cool place until
the cider has acquired the desired favor,
In the meantime clean barrels for its re-
ceptlon should be prepared - follows
Some clean strips of rags sIe dipp-d in
melted sulphur, lighted and burned In
the bunghole, and the hung laid loosely
on the end OF the rag 30 as to retain the
sulphur vapOr within the barrel. Then
tie up half q pound of mustard seed In q
course muslin bag and put 1t in the bar.
rel, ill the barrel with cider, add about q
quarter of pound of isinglass or fine
gelatine dissolved In hot water.
This 10 the old fashioned way, and
will keep cider In the same coudi ion ..

Professional Q der::makers are using

serve the sweetness Of cider perfectly
but unless care Is taken not to add iol
much Of 1t, 1t will impart a slight sui
rhurous TASTE to the cider. The bottle

and the corks wired down.
A little cinnamon, winfergreen, o
sassafras, etc., Is often added to swee

IT BEGINS to look as if there were
another market about TO open for
American industry. The Navy Depart
mont, 1t appears, is receiving a large
number of applications from manufactu-
Hsrs and dealers in cotton goods, asking
for samples of the goods of that charac-
ter now sent to Africa by England. This
has arisen from a suggestion made by
Commodore Shufeldt that the United
ates could furnish them at a lower
price. AS American cotton goods
are already sold in England at a cheaper
Price than the home trade article, there is
no reason why our manufacturers should
should make a bid for the African trade.
We are extending our commerce In all
directions, and it will be just az well for
rs to extend 1t "where Afric's sunny
fountains run down their golden sand
aud get little of the sand.

STRAW AS FUEL.

A Battle Creek, Michigan, firm have
invented and tried successfully a steam
pecu liarity of the machine is that 1t uses
straw as fuel. The straw In fed into the
fire pan through w rollers by q small
boy. II requires about 100 pounds of
straw to thresh 100 bushels of wheat.
With this engine 500 bushels of wheat
have been threshed In three hours and
forty-five minutes. The cost of the straw
az compared with wood or coal is only
about one-tenth, while the heat is much
greater, and the liability to fire not so
great, as no sp irks are emitted from the
engine.
