reading alone. enables people to detect

often gets him lighter work and better pay

effect Of cutting away me trees in promo'-
ing the formation OF torrents has not been
doubted by the inhabitants Of mountainous
regions. and is clearly set forih by Nj
Surrell, who saws: wien we examine
the tracts In the midst OF which torrents
of rec MT origin have been formed, We
perceive that they have in all cases been
despoied of their trees and bushes. II, on
he other hand. we examine hills whose
sides have been recently stripped of wood,
we observe that they are cut up nv numer-
ons torrents. which have evidently en-
formed vsry lately. Here is remarkable
double fact: wherever there are recent
torrents there are no longer forests, and
wherever the ground il cleared these tor.
rents are formed; and the same eyes that
zee the woods fall on the declivity of II
mountain may see appear there immedi
ately a multitude of torrents"
The disastrous consequences of removing
the woods from the Alps began 10 attract
attention In the last century and have
since been discussed in many publications
and official reports In 1858 the prefec'
of the Lower Alps said, in report TO the
minister: IF prompt and energetic
measures are not taken it will be almost
sossble to designate the precise moment
when The French Alps will become a
desert The period from 1881 to 1883 will
produce a new diminution in the number
of the population. In 1862 the minister
will remark continuous and progressive
reduction in the number of hectares devOt
ed to agriculture; each year will aggra.
waite the evil. and in half century France
will count more ruins and one department
less" The deparement of the Upper snd
Lower Alps actually lost thirty thousand
inhabitants. or one ninth Of their popula-
ton between 1851 and 1876. A law for
recovering the mountains with wood.
which had been prepared By NJ FORBADE

administration of the forests, was adopted

1t is cider boiled down as other fruiI juices
are boiled, without sugar. till it becnn, 5
jelly.
The cider to be boiled must be taken
FRESH from the press, rs fermentation com
mences almost directly, and il must De
boiled before fermentation begins
For boiling an evaporator should be
used, and one of copper or brass mus be-
used, as iron will make the product black,
and " irony" in taste. Galvanized non
must not be used, AS the acid will corrudc
the zinc, which largely coupo,es the coal
ing Of the iron. The cost of copper
evaporalor will be about double that OF II
galvanized iron one, varying with the
price Of copper.
The expenses of manufacture are, the
evapOrator, which will cost about thu
same in various localities. the cider, the
fuel and labor. which will vary with every
loca ion, and be cost of cider depends
on the supply, which OF cou Sc varies each
year
The product sells at about ten cents per
pound, and is excellent; thlt from SOU
apples having clean, sharp acid taste, is
good as II sauce, or diluted makes first
class beverage. not Al all Objectionable 10
the strictest temperance man.
We believe an extensive and profitable
business might be built up in Vermont in
making this article, Where there are
large sugar makers the copper pan can be
nsed for both jelly and sugar, each in their
season, and the surplus apple crop b,
probably disposed of.
