To Preserve Cider---A simple Method.
We do not recommend the use Of ferment-
ed cider as a beverage, because it contains
certain per cent more or less Of alcohol, and
is to that extent intoxicating; but cider is
valuable in various ways when properly pre-
pared and kept, and the following method
will be found as good as any. The juice, as
IL comes from the press, should be filtered
through straw and then put into barrels and
carried into the cellar, and placed upon
blocks with the bungs up. The bungs should
then be removed and fermentation will soon
take place. The pomace and other impuri-
ties will work out through the bung-hoes.
As this works ou., apple juice should be add
ed sufficient to keep the barrels full, other
wise the impurities instead of working out,
will rise against the top of the barrel and re-
main there.
1t should be looked after every day and all
feculent matter removed. When it ceases to
work and no more matter rises, the bungs
may be driven in tight In few days pro-
vide clean barrels, into the bung-holes of
which insert a strip of clean cotton cloth,
about an inch and half wide and ten inches
long, six inches of which have been dipped
in melted roll birthstone, set on fire, driving
up the bungs Of the empty barrels tight,
leaving the end of the cloth on which there is
no birthstone out of the hole, so that the
bung will hold it tight. Next remove the
bung from the empty barrel, and draw of
the cider from the full barrel into it, being
careful not to allow any sediment TO come
off. Finally, bung up this barrel, letting it
remain undisturbed few weeks, when the
cider may be bottled at leisure. There are nu-
merous methods of adding sugar, isingass
and other substances, to facilitate the prepa-
ration of cider for bottling, but the natural
process, as above described, answers a good
purpose. -Mdine Fdrmer.

never does as well as that of the farmer who
thoughtfully and humanely provides clean
managers in which TO feed his animals. Cor
respondent Homestead.
We have many times cleaned away lot Of
'hard tack" like that described above, before
allowing our horse to eat grain or meal from
the manger IL is very common for briars
to accumulate in the refuse, and, when grain
or meal is scattered among them, the eager
ness of the animal to get the whole will be
very likely to cause thorns TO be stuck in the
tongue or mouth. The need of frequently
cleaning managers is greater now than before
the use of the horse rake That sweeps in
whatever may be upon the surface of the hay
field. As cattle do not masticate their food
before swallowing it, they are more liable to
suffer from taking up foreign substances
that accumulate in the manger, than horses
Cattle may be injured by swallowing nails
fragments Of glass, metals, etc. Such things
have often been found in the stomach of q
slaughtered COW or OK, or in other parts of
the body, and they are no doubt more fire.
quently present in the bodies of 'die-alones,"
where they may sometimes be the unsuspect-
ed cause of DEATH We knew q case where a
COW swallowed bone an inch wide and six
inches long which worked its way through
the stomach so that one end of it projected
from the cows side and was withdrawn.
The contents of the stomach oozed out at the
aperture, but, contrary to what might be sup
posed, the animal fully recovered and was
converted into good beef. Had not the bone
come to view, the cause of the difficulty
never would have been conjectured. A
learned veterinarian might have given the
disease a ponderous Latin name and pre-
scribed half dozen drugs with just as much
effect for good as similar prescriptions usually
have on man or beast.
1t is not always enough to see that the
manger is clean. Meal is often fed in crib
or manger having bottom of rough or
splintery boards that may lacerate the tongue
of an animal or pierce it with slivers when
cleaning up its feed For this reason hem
lock boards are Objectionable for the bottom
of manger; sharp splinters are apt to start
up from their surface when they become
worn. Plank of hard wood would generally
be better
We are glad to find a newspaper correspon-
dent calling attention to this matter. Care in
these apparently trifing things sometimes
makes the difference between a thrifty and
profitable condition of an animal, and the re-
ton that is not less worthy of attention.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1881-11-18

There are many little chores which may be,
and too often are lost sight of and left un-
done, and to these we want to direct atten-
ton.
The water-works, whether they are pumps,
cisterns, or pipes, should be looked after,
and so fixed that they will not freeze. A
little packing with sawdust, tan, or straw
now is likely to save several days work and
no end of vexatiou and trouble in mid-winter.
Damaged windows (and you will probably
find more of them than you expecD should
be thoroughly repaired. Even in sheds and
the gable-ends of barns, and other out-of-the-
way places, broken panes should be replaced
and the castings made tight, to exclude the
cold and snow.
Again, cracks in buildings, especially in
those where stock is to be wintered, should
be stopped. No farm animal can be profta-
bly, kept in barn or shed through which the
winds whistles at will.
Cellars should be protected against the Sc
verest cold, and if it can be done in no other
way, banking should be resorted to, but if
the underpinning is well set and the walls
are pointed as they should be, there will gen.
orally be little need OF pilng dirt against the
building.
There will probably be no better time than
now in which to clear the garden of old
bean-poles, boards, and brush, and get it
ready for the pillow next spring; and all the
summer accumulation of twigs and sticks
and splinters about buildings may be profita-
bly, gathered for kindling-wood during the
winter If you keep hens Gas of course you
do), provide a comfortable and clean place
for them to roost in, and see to it that they
have load of sand or sods TO work upon
while the ground is covered.
OF bedding for your animals you cannot
have too much. Forest leaves are to be had
for the gathering, and at this season there is
little else within easy reach, the ferns and
coarse grasses having died and fallen, and the
loan being water-soaked. Tools, of course,
are to be cleaned, Oiled and put securely un-
| der cover.
If your watering trough stands in an ex-
posed location. move it, or build a shed over
it. Cattle, sheep and horses will not drink
half they need facing biting wind or SILVER
ing in driving storm.
Gull from your focks and herds all the old
and poor animals and fowls which are liable
not to winter well. cow, or a sheep, or
hen that is SO far gone with age or illness
that it will not SELL is the last one you can
afford to keep. Kill it and let it go to the
bone-heap.
Last, but not least, post your books and
settle your accounts. If any man owes you
get his money or his note If you owe any
man, pay him. Long accounts at the black
smiths, the saw-mill and the store, make
trouble between parties, and are demoraliz
ing to the last degree.
All these are well-worn hints, but they are
as good now as ever, and if universally heed
ed, would prevent vast amount of loss anC
annoyance, Mirror and Farmer.

give che stock clean SIanrsrs

To oblige animals to pick their feed from
among bits of glass, nails, sticks and rubbish
of all sort that is left to accumulate in their
managers and into which the feed is carelessly
thrown by their owner, is certainly deserving
of censure. To illustrate Not long since
we secured lodging for ourself and team at
the home of farmer. Before allowing our
horse to be fed, we examined the stall as
signed to our use, and the varied and sur
prising quantity of "hard tack" that we
found and dumped from the manger left no
doubt in our minds as to its constant use A
remark as to firmly implanted nail, directly
in the centre of the manger, that our hand
came in contact with, brought out an earnest
inquiry from its owner as TO what we had
found. Calling for hammer we were soon
able to satisfy the owner not only as to what
we had found, but the reason why the horse
which had previously occupied the stall was
80 sadly cut and disfgured on the mouth and
nose. Keep all the animals dry and warm
Feed them regularly and in sufficient quant-
ty, but please don't oblige them to eat out of
managers foul with rubbish and dust for that
is cruelty to animals besides, such stock
