To Make Good Pure Cider

Good, sound, ripe apples should all
ways be selected, and after sweating,
before being crushed, wipe dry. AS
fast as the apples are ground the po-
mace should be placed in a previously
prepared vat of suitable size, with false
bottom. L: is best TO let the 'pomace
remain in the vat over night before
pressing, as this will give the cider n
rich, fine color. To press out all the
juice, we would recommend that the
press be laid up with strhiner cloth, and
the pomace laid inside this with good
sweet rye straw. Apply the power
equally and moderately, giving plenty
OF time to drain, and Immediately put
IN a cask but be sure that the cask is
clean and sweet. Leave out the bung
for a few days, keeping a small keg
near by so as to keep the cask full, and
also that as much pomace as possible
will work out. AS soon as worked to
taste, bung up tightly and let lit stand
until thoroughly settled; them put in a
pig spout some three inches from the
bottom of the cask, and run off INTO a
clean. sweet barrel; add ten pounds OF
loaf sugar per barrel, and you will
haye an excellent cider. In previous
years we have noticed in many sections
OF the country large crop of early
apples, for which there is little or no
market, and a great many arc allowed
to rot on the ground, which IS a loss no
farmer can afford or should allow, The
best OF these will make good cider.
which in many localities will find a
ready sale IN the early part of the
season, either in cities or country
villages. The inferior apples. and the
better class Of windfalls, should be
saved 10 make vinegar.

Observations About Bees.

The first thing done by swarm of
bees upon taking possession Of their
new home, is 10 see that il is free from
spiders and other insects which are
their enemies. They then cement the
surface Of their new home with propOlis,
being especially careful about the top
OF the hive.
The comb building lis next in order,
wax for which is formed 10 the body OF
the bee, and exudes in thin scales from
the segments or ringlike places observed
under the abdomen. In this work each
bee in the hive forming the pendulous
cluster contributes its share, while
others are already securing the fields In
eager search for honey.
As fast as the comb is sufficiently
built out, the queen and her attendants,
by common consent, take possession Of
the central and lower portions, in each
cell of which she deposits an egg, then
passes to the opposite side and repeats
the operation. The borders Of the
comb are appropriated to honey storing
The cells first built are very uniform,
and average about twenty-five to the
square inch. The eggs deposited in
these cells develop into worker bees
Later on, as the bees emerge from the
cells, and the colony becomes more
populous, much larger cells are built,
and in these the queen deposits eggs
which develop into drones or male
bees.
When the hive becomes very crowded
with bees, so much so that there seems
scarcely room for all inside, and the
combs are well 1lled with young bees
and honey, an observation of the inside
OF the hive will reveal the existence OF
several conical protuberances, not un-
Ike small thimbles, with the apex in
clined downward. These are queen
cells and are found sometimes project
ing from the edges Of the combs and
frequently from the center or face;
sometimes slngly,an again in grOupes
oftwo or three. The queen cells are
an after consideration, and are not
built except to supercede a queen with
a new one. or where colony has be-
come queenless from some cause, or to
provide a successor for the parent
queen, to insure a continuance Of the
community after the queen and bees
have swarmed out. When a queen
cell is far enough advanced in its con-
struction, it is supplied with a worker
egg or young larva, and this, with
the enlarged cell and a plentiful supply
of royal jelly developes a queen

Moths and Carpet Beetle

These insects have a great repug-
nance TO tallow, and may be kept
from wollens and furs for an indcf
mite period by its use. The wife Of
our American ministers who resld-
ed abroad for many years told us
that she preserved her fine carpets
left in this country entirely from
the ravages of moths by wrapping
up with them tallow candles. When
the carpet beetle has commenced his
work the carpet should be taken up,
sprinkled thoroughly with benzme
and the floor painted over with
melted tallow, taking care to fill up
all the crcvlces in the floor. as in
these the larvae secrete themselves.
The carpet lining will prevent any
tallow getting upon the carpet, The
Builder of Wood and Worker gives
an account Of the manner in which
a set of furniture that seemed to be
alive with the larvae of the moths
was made good again. 1t was set
into a room by itself and the uphol-
stery satureted through and through
with benzine, applied by means of a
watering pot with a fine rose sprln-
Ter. Three gallons at thirty cents
a gallon were required. This kill
ed every moth, larvae and egg. The
bcnzine dried out in a few hours
and its entire odor disappeared in
three Or four days. Not the slight
est harm happened to the varnish,o or
fabric or wood or hair stufing.
Moths passed and not sign OF a
moth was seen. The carpets were
sprinkled all around the sides Of
the room with equally good effect.
When woolens or furs are infested
with moths, if they are put in a box
closed tightly, the moths will be de-
stroyed Those who can procure
barrels from which alcohol has just
been emptied will find them good
to store woollens in. The atmos-
phere of such barrel when closed
tightly sufocatcs the pests. A gar
ment that is sealed up IN fine brown
paper is safe from the moths, but
it must be entirely free from them
before being sealed up.

Of What are Apples Made {?

DR.. True, Of Massachusetts, some
time ago delivered lecture before
the Pathological Society of Maine,
in which he referred to the differ
ent clements found in the fruit and
the tree also. An extract made
from it by the american CultivatoJ
represents him as saying, land no
doubt correctly that 1000 pounds
of russell apples when reduced tc
ashes will weigh about 100 pounds
and these ashes Will be found upon
analysis to contain thirteen pounds
of phosphoric acid, seven pounds
of sulphuric acid, thirty-c ig h I
pounds Of potash, TWEEN t y-f {
pounds of sod, and q little lime,
iron and magnesia.
But the ash Of wood OF a russell
apple tree contains but 10 per cent,
Vi lhe potash against 90 PcV ceni'
in the fruit. and the wood shows
only trace of soda cgainst % pei
cent. in the fruit.
On the other hand, while the
fruit contains but 5 per cent. o.
lime, the wood ash shows 63 pei
cent. The fruit demands Is pei
cent. OF phosphorus, and the tree
but . per cent. These facts sug-
gest that five have a young orch
ard in which it is desirable to make
wood, the treatment should be very
different from that in an old one
where the trees are fully grown anc
the object is to make them bear.

cleanliness in Milking.

As the production of cheese and
butter is among the most ancient Of
the arts IN the farming of orr pre-
cenitors, it would have been sup
posed that if an fact could be cs-
tablished as the best mode to at =
tain the greatest success in this line,
| it would have been secured ere now;
and yet, so far as is found to be the
case upon the great majority of the
farms OF the country, how far have
we advanced in attaining the knowl-
edge of some Of the simplest re-
quircments Of thc art Of butter max
ing notwithstanding the continued
din which has been kept up on the
subject ever since the first writers
upon the products of the dairy
brought it before the public ? AS
remarked by committee on butter
and cheese in a late report, a very
large part Of the poor butter made
results from the milk being spoiled
before it is even strained. One lot
of butter examined at the fair show
ed this at once. 1t was not fit for
any use as food, Some on tasting
it would have said, "animal odor.
Perhaps so, but not from the COW.
If the COW is healthy and has good
food and pure water, there can be
no oaor or taste to the milk in the
udder at all Objectionable. Nor
will there be if the milk is then
drawn from well clean mixer, in
pure air, and kept away from all
sources of faint. Others would have
said this butter was "cowy." Don't
lay this charge OIL the poor COW;
she did her part faithfully. The
butter we complain of is not cowy;
is horsy or piggy, or worse yet,
filthy. The COW keeper and mixer
are the persons to blame. Let ev-
cry butter maker who has any re-
gard for the reputation Of bis or her
product insist upon every possible
prccaution being taken by the milk
er to keep the milk pure and clean.
No really good butter can be ex-
pected if the milk is taken from an
unclean bag, or by a mixer with
dirty hands Or clothing, or If the
milking is done in a filthy DRILL ven
tilated stall, or if the milk is allow
ed to stand, even a short time, sur
rounded by impure air. 1t is the
greatest mistake to suppose that II
dirty or foreign matter gets into the
milk, careful strainiDg will remedy
the evil the object may be remov-
ed, but the faint remains. 1t also
must be remembered that there are
invisible things as sure TO spoil
milk as those we can see. There
are now improved implements
which greatly protect the milk,
guarding against carelessness and
accidents. but nothing will take the
place Of careful, clearly milking.
