one can get some idea of the importance of
our railway system from the fact that the gross
earnings of the railroads of the country in 1879
were over 500 millions, and their net earnings
about 800 millions. The total railroad stock
OF the country earned, however, but 81 per
cent, not q large interest, certainly Rail
road bond holders got, on an average, about
per cent, considerable improvement on re-
cent years. The total capital stock and
funded debt of our railroads is four and three
quarters billions, q truly immense interest.

Keeping Cider Sweet.

AS apples are likely to be plentiful this fall,
considerable quantity will be made into
cider, and the inquiry will frequently be
made: How can preserve my cider sweet ?"
If the following directions are followed, cider
may he preserved sweet for an indefinite
period:
First take only well -ripened, sound apples
and crush and extract the juice Let the
pomacc lie q few hours before pressing
Have everything with which the pomace or
juice comes in contact sweet and clean.-
Strain the juice through filter, rs follows =
On the top put layer of clean straw, below
fine gravel, or coarse sand washed clean of
dirt and beneath flannel CLOTH Such a filter
will take out all particles of pomacc, &c,
which cause decay. Having tic apple juice
pure, put it in n kettle and bring it to a boil,
Swimming off all scum which rises during the
process. While the cider is still hot or warm,
can or bottle 1t as you would fruit to preserve
it. BottlWmay be made tight by corking and
sealing the same by dipping the corks in
composition of rosin and tallow melted. The
main thing in the preservation is to keep 1t
from the air perfectly
The juice of grapes and other fruits may
be preserved in the same way. 1t IL essential
in all these that the product be kept In cool
place of near even temperature. Unferment-
ed wine, or juice ofthc grape, is made and
preserved in this way and is better and more
healthful than wine made in any other way.
