Preserving Cider.


1t is the habit of some people to use
poor apples for cider, but pure, sweet
article can only be obtained from good.
clean, sound fruit. Hair-cloth. or onn.
ny, is better than straw for the Juice to
pass through. and as the cider runs
from the press, let it pass through a
hair sieve into large vessel. After it
has stood few hours, small white bub.
bles will be observed coming to the sur
face, through the pomace collected on
top of the juice. Draw off the latter
through spigot two or three inches
from the bottom of the vessel. into
clean casks, and when bubbles appear at
the bung-hole, rack it again. Three
racklngs are usually required, before
the juice is put into barrels, and at the
last racking, about half pint of warm
sweet oil, and half pound of glucose.
are added to produce a fine article Of
cider. Place the cask in cool place
and let it stand until the flavor is what
IS desired. when the cider is put
into clean barrels previously pre-
pared in the following manner:
Take clean strips of rags and
dip them in melted sulphur; burn them
IN the bung hole of the barrel, LAYING
the bung loosely on the end of the rag
to retain the fumes of the sulphur in the
barrel Put pound of mustard seed
Secured IN coarse muslin bao) in the
barrel and add also pound of isinolass
or line gelatine. dissolved in hot water.
The cider will keep sweet a long time
treated in this way. It must be Eepti in
a cool place.
A later method of keeping cider
sweet, employed by professional cider
makers, is by the use of calcium sui
phite, or sulphite of lime and besides
being more convenient it has been
found to be as equally effective as the
sulphur vapor and mustard. The pre-
iimiHary steps in each case are the
same. To each gallon Of cider in the
cask, add from an eighth to quarter
OF an ounce of sulphite, first mixing the
latter in quart of the cider. then
pouring it into the cask and thoroughly
mixing by rolling the cask about. In
. weeks time, or less, the sulphite will
have impaired its preserving qualities

bottled of. Sulphite mot sulphatel of
lime may be obtained of druggists. and
nosts about forty cents a pound by the
barrel. If too much is added, a sui
I.hurous taste will be impaired to the
Farmer.

REMOVAL OF THE PONCAS.
BISHOP HARE's STORY.

BISHOP HARE 5 STORY,
WASHINGTON, Feb. l6.-Bishop Hare, of the
Protestant Episcopal church, former mission
airy in charge of the Poncas, testified at length
to-day before the special Senate committee in
zestgating the removal of those Indians to the
Indian Territory, the purport of his evidence
being that the Indians, through loss of crops
and constant depredatious by the Sioux con-
scented to removal. Aftcrward, however, they
objected, but the government having gore SO
far toward removal he advised its being done,
although he knew it would involve hardships.
The bishop also testified that in lis opinion the
government was afraid of the Sioux, while it
WASH afraid of the Poncas, and that there
fore instead of trying to punish the
Sioux and compelling them to
preserve their treaty obligations, it
was determined to take the Poncas out of the
way. On this point he further said, in reply
10 Senator Dawes:
You know Indians have common saying:
The better We are the worse We are off" In-
dians who kill and steal are likely to be well
provided for.
Senator Kirkwcod Is il not easier 20 pi ocurc
appropriations for warlike than for peaceful
tribes?
Bishop Harc-I understand it il.
Senator kirkWood said he asked the question
in order TO show that Congress must take part
of the blame for the condition of facts re-
fcrred to.
Senator Morgan-Was the governments fail
IRE to protect the PoncaS due to the want of
Congressional appropriations?
Bishop Hare-No, think not. The govern
ment authorities were afraid of the Sioux.

LAND GRANT RAILROADS.
IMPORTANT Ruling.

WASHINGTON, Feb 16.-The attorney general
has rendered an opinion upon thequestion sub
mitted by the secretary of the interior, touch
ing the right Of land grant railroads to deyiate
in constructing its road from the line of route
as definitely adopted. The question arose in
connection with the grant to the State of Iowa
to aid in the construction of railroad from
McGregor westerly to pon. of road between
Alsona and Sheldon. The road was built by
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Co.. and
dcviated from the line of route as surveyed and
adopted by the McGregor aad Missouri river
company aboat five miles at point. The
question to what effect that DETECTION would
have upon the grant was submitted by the
secretary, and the attorney general holds that
in order to entitle the State to the land granted
it is necessary that the road should be con-
structed according to the line of definite loca-
ton. If q different road is bult than that
definitely located it cannot entitle the State to
the benefit of the lands, and that the question
whether a road constructed is or is
not road dehnited located is
one for the interior department to
determine and which must be largely within
the discretion of the secretary. Some defec-
ton must, in many cases, be expected; but
there must be q substantial compliance with
the line of location. He also holds that while
q State had a right to fix points at which roads
should be constructed, it could not thereby af-
feet the rights of the United States. The at
torney general does not undertake to decide
upon the effect of construction in particular
case under consideration but leaves the deter
mination of that question to the secretary.

Beard of Public Works.

The board of public works met in regular
session yesterday morning, and, all the
members being present, proceeded to dispose
of the following business:
The assessment for grading Western avenue
was laid over until the 23rd inst. Several
objections to the assessment were filed,
among which was one that Mr.. Timme,
member of the board, YVES q property owner
on Western avenue. Thereupon Mr.. Timme
asked to he excused.
In the matter of the re-assessment for
grading Rice street Mr.. Timme was again
excused from service, and the matter was
postponed until the 23rd inst.
The assessment for grading LOrient
street was completed, and the secretary was
directed to give the usual confirmation
notice. In this connection the
board adopted resolution inform
ing the CON mon council that
the grading of L'Orient was completed and
brought to established grade, and to abate
the nuisance, pond. between Glencoe street
and Pennsylvania avenue, it would be neces-
sary to require property owners to fill in
such manner as will abate the nuisance
complained of.
The matter of the assessment for opening
ana grazing como avenue evoked cohsiueIa-
BILE discussion.
Mr.. r. j. Reid said that the general int
preston was that when the improvement
was to be made, that one-half of the benefits
we're to have been assessed upon Como Park.
That under this belief and, in fact, express
understanding with the board Of public
works had the property owners petitioned for
the improvement. According to the assess
ment sought to be completed, $4,000 had been
put on the park when $40, 800 should be the
amount. Before the board took further ac-
ton he requested a postponement, to enable
him to INTRODUCE Mr.. Rice and Mr.. Drake,
who were members of the board when the
above mentioned agreement was made. Ac-
cordingly the matter was postponed to the
23d inst. Besides, written protests from j.
c. Ramsey, A. r. Capehart, Alice Hewitt, j.
Fl. Humphrey, Herman Stoakmann, j. K.
Humphrey and others, were read and taken
under consideration, after which the board

ton. Some Of the best institutions Of learn
ing the world over are now found at the primer
pal centers of population; and the tendency
is more and more to found such institutions a,
capitals of population and of business. 1t if
Of immense importance to them to come in con-
tact with the business world and with leading
men of affairs. They can also be more cheap
ly conducted at such centres than at remote
and thinly populated localities. The Prussian
forest school ut acknowledgements is within
less than an hour distance by rail from Berlin.
The Saxon forest school of Tharandt is within
half an hour of Dresden by rail. The
Forest Institute, of Stockholm, adjoins the
city, yet having ample experimental grounds.
Influenced by presidents and considerations
like the above. and because this city is the
capital of the State and convenient of access,
your committee recommend tie location of the
school at st. Paul.
THE COMMITTEE ARE ADVISED
by persons best informed in such matters that
not more than $l.25 per acre could be realized
on the average for any lands in this State that
might hereafter be granted by Congress.
Three hundred -Bections of land at $1.25 per
acre would make an endowment fund which,
with interest at four per cent, would ulti-
mately yield an annual income of $3.50.
This would be none too much, and perhaps
hardly enough for frst-class institution of
the sort, the tuition being free. as should
be the case. In drawing bill for the
proposed grant the committee have followed as
closely as practicable the wording of the agri-
cultural college act of July 2, 1862. A clause
in that act, adopted in the accompanying bill,
provides that no part of the endowment or in
terest thereon shall ever be used for construct
ing or repairing any building. This leaves it
to the State or private bounty to provide the
buildings and keep them in repair.
