Cleaning Cider Barrels.

How to clean old cider barrels is one
OF the queries on hand. Rinsing them
out With lime, ashes, or soil and boiling
water are the means generally employed ;
still better is to take ont one of tie heads
and scrub the inside thoroughly with
sand, and replace the head. But the fact
is, barrel which needs cleaning is not
fit for storage Of good cider, to begin
with Those who understand the making
OF good cider never have unclean barrels.
Every cask used for cider should he
thoroughly washed inside and outside,
with hot water Immediately after its
contents have been racked off, and stored
for future use, i'll dry open place, not
in a damp cellar. There is 10 method
by which musty barrels can be made as
good as new ones. \ careful cider maker
would no more think Of putting cider into
a musty cask, no matter how carefully
cleansed, than a good dairy man would

ever had. The State of Name has taken The
lead, and how noby thai party has stood by
the temperance people Of this State let the vote

puDIican> voted for the amendment, the Demo
Gratis mostly voted against it. Now we draw
the following conclusions: First. the Demo-
cratic party is in favor of free rum; Second,
the ST. Johns people knew it. Now" they say,
"we Will rule or ruin. Now you put prohih-
ton plank i'll your platform and be defeated, or
we will run Il side show that will elect Cleye-

Written for the Republican Journal.
So much has appeared in the Agricul-
tural papers concerning the merits and
necessity Of furnishing the dairy with the
many improved appliances for Use there
in, and the enterprising salesman or
manufacturer has SO literally scattered
eXtravagantly w0rdeG advertisements
and testimonials setting forth their eX-
cellencies, that one is almost led to sup
pose that good butter can not he made
without them. \ consideration Of Ger
tain Of these is the object in this article.
There are three methods of getting
cream from milk: BY the Creamer, by
the Lavid Centrifugal machine, and 10y
the Old fashioned method Of setting in
shallow pans 1t has lately been proven
by 30 careful tests of each Of these three
methods thai the latter produced a larger
per cent. Of first class butter than was
obtained by either Of the other two,
In the course Of the experiments it was
shown that when shallow pans were used
the temperature of the milk room was Of
the first Importance Although it is an
Old story to experienced butter makers
it may be well to state that the air Of the
milk room should be kept at about 81
degrees, and should be moist but not
damp From this it will be seen that as
a rule our cellars, where the most of us
keep our milk in summer, are too cool
and Our milk rooms are not warm enough
in winter to get the best results. We
need thermometers more tnan we need
Creamers. Although freezing may cause
a rapid and almost perfect separation OF
cream from Hilk. the use Of Ice produces
too much dampness, and freezing iniures
the keeping quality OF all articles. do
not wish it to be understood that | CON
denim the various patent dairy applian
ces | simply wish to call attention to
the fact thar the old methods will sui
serve every purpose. Some of these
patents are Of great benefit, while some
are entirely worthless Each of them
was devised to supply some real OF fan
cied want. The Creamer, for instance,
is a great economizer of space and its use
in a large dairy OF in creamery results
in a wonderful saving af labot The
same may be said of tie Centrifugal

Thus it Will be seen that the Northern
and particularly the New England States,
get the largest number OF eggs from a
given number of hens. This cannot be
because the climate is better adapted to
the production of eggs, out probably be
cause the demand for eggs in manutac-
turing districts is such as to bring prices
up to u point 10 make it an object to give
the hens extra care, and a greater variety
of food.
In farming districts, away from manu-
factories, the demand for eggs is limited,
so the farmer gets all the eggs he wants
without giving lie poultry any particular
attention; he only feeds them with any
regularity few weeks before he desires
them for meat.
The forest products Of the United
States in the year 1879 We're, S95,774, :
7;}5 or S9.964 09o less than the products
OF poultry and eggs. Mass. Ploughman,
