CIDER MAKING.
"Reminiscences of One Who in His Youth
INDUCED in Pomace and Sweet Cider.

| portion OF my parentaTe persuaded me
to rise at 2:30 pm. and allowed me to
pry yoke of anti-labor oxen ten miles
through November climate that stood
seven feet in its socks and was war
ranted to freeze everything that didn't
have Yale lock on it.
The object of these nocturnal trips
was the cider mill, which was usually
run by a joint stock company and a
horse that moved as. he had spent the
most of his life as an hour hand on
town clock. Being of young and tender
years, it generally became my duty to
see that the horse didn't faint away or
lie down to slumber and allow the apples
in the mill to get rusty. The horse and
generally got on good terms at an
early stage of the game and would
divide the time for sleep between us.
The horse had been a somnambulist
from his earliest childhood, and his
habit of walking in his sleep enabled
him to sneak in a few hours sweet re-
pose on my time without my knowing
it. The only way could tell whether
he was April fooling me or not was to
mention whoa to him; if he was awake
and in full possession of his senses, he
would Immediately observe my sug-
gestion; if he was asleep and uncOn-
scious of his surroundings, he would
not heed my gentle murmur
The art of cider making is not gener-
ally understood by those people who
love to drink it and put it in their mince
pies. 1t is for the enlightenment of
these people that this article is written.
