How to Keep Cider for Years.

An exchange says: First boil, say
so gallons of cider down to twenty gallons,
skim constantly while boiling. Strain
cider through cloths into q kettle from
mill. When done boiling, strain same
into a clean keg or barrel, while warm.
Bung it up for four weeks. Then draw
off the cider carefully and don't disturb
the settings in the bottom of barrel.
Then wash the barrel clean, and strain
and put the strained cider into it again.
Now, to every forty gallons, or in that
proportion, add one teacupfull of un,
ground mustard seed; bung up tight. Il
will keep for years and never sour, ant
will become as clear as wine and Of thu
same color. Bottle it up if you wish.

The Time Is at Hand.

The time is at hand when the straw
berry beds viii need covering. While
straw, if used, furnishes a good protec-
ton, it is Objectionable on account of the
seeds of weeds and grasses which it con-
tains. Clean slough hay is free from
them, and is on this account much to be
preferred. Forest leaves would make an
admirable covering if they could be kept
in place; but they dry, and the wind scat
tiers them to the four corners of the earth.
For a small bed evergreen boughs make a
good covering, as also for any other plants
or small ~shrubbery that can be laid down
that need protection. They furnish shade,
prevent freezing and thawing, and yet al
low a circulation of air. The raspberries
should have an application Of manure
along and between the rows. The rains
Of winter and spring will carry its soluble
constituents into the soil just where the
roots can appropriate them next spring in
making a crop of berries.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
IL Poultry Yard.

There is nothing so fruitful Of disease
and death among chickens as damp, I'M
clean quarters. Oftentimes dampness is
found under brood coops, caused by the
coop remaining upon n place all day
All brood coops should be removed just
before shutdown to ground that has had
the full effect of the drying sun and wind
throughout the day. In rainy weather a
dry board should take the place of the
damp ground. Young chickens show the
effects of dampness in several ways. The
brood may only appear at first slightly
indisposed, the chicks less active. finally
becoming ~lifeless and dying from no APP
parent cause. In other instances the
chick is noticed to drag its body as II
constantly under great pressure. lndi-
gestion and Inflammation are the active
auses of distress, the chick growing
rapidly weak and soon dying. The least
evidence Of dampness is manifested in
acute catarrh. or more commonly in rheu'
matism in the feet and legs. The chick
is found suddenly crippled and its toes
drawn up in q knot. In all cases OF
poultry ails, prevention is the best and
cheapest doctor. In the case OF chickens
suffering from rheumatism, the feet and
legs should be placed, or rather held, in
warm water for ten minutes at a time.
The legs must be dried thoroughly, anc
the chick kept indoors or upon perfectly
dry ground until restored to health.
A remarkable improvement, says the
New York Times, in the flavor and ap
pearance of poultry which has been fec
in coops or pens two weeks before killing
has been noticed by those who have tried
the plan. Clean corn and pure water
have been found to be the only requisites
for rapid and healthful fattening.

Cisterns become foul from organic mat
ter chiefly flowing in with the water from
the roof. The only way to purify the
water, while in the c%istern, is to throw in
some substances that will chemically
unite with the impurities, forming an in.
soluble compound that will be precipitat-
ed to the bottom. Dissolved alum will
effect this, but will leave the water hard.
Hypermanganate of p~otassa, which can
be purchased at any drug store, will pre-
cipitate the impurities and at the same
time leave the water softer. About ont
ounce of the compound to fifty gallons Of
water is the usual proportion. The chemi
cal reaction is marked by a purple color
ing, and the hypermanganate should b'
added until this coloring disappears.

Sort Them Oyer.

Sort over the vegetables in the cellar
during the month of December, and pick
out such as are beginning to decay. Keep
the cellar clean and wholesome. If the
cellar seems likely to freeze, place a small
stove therein and moderate the tempera-
ture. 1t will be some trouble and expense,
but It is far cheaper than to lose the fruits
and vegetables just as the season begins
when they are most needed and relished.
Be careful not to raise the temperature
too much.

The hogs should have all the grain that
they will eat up clean now, but no more
should be given at any one time than will
be eaten up clean and quickly. 1t is q
mistaken idea to suppose that faitening
hogs must have grain lying beside them
all the time. Such a system Of feeding
will moro likely stagnate the fattening
process than advance it, and has no rec.
ommendation, except in the large amount
Of grain which is necessarily wasted in
e%ndeavoring to keep feed before the
porkcrs all the time.

The Farmers AdpOeate says there are
several easy ways to prevent rusting of
ploughs and c~ultivators, and to keep the
teeth bright. One is to give them a coat
of thick limewash as o. as they are
brought in from the field; another is to
dissolve an ounce Of rosin in four ounces
of linseed oil, and while hot mix this
with a quart of kerosene and stir well.
This is laid on to smooth iron with a paint
brush. Another way is TO dissolve an
ounce of camphor in some turpentine and
add this to four ounces Of lard and one
ounce of pulverized black lead or stove
polish, and mix we'll. This may be rub
bed on with a rag. To remove rust from
ploughs or tools nothing is better than a
mixture of a half pint Of oil of vitriol
poured slowly into a quart of water,
and apply this to the rusted metal.
Wash off with water.

What to do With q Bad Temper.

Starve it. Give it nothing to feed on. When something tempts you to grow angry, do not yield to the temptation. IL may for minute or two be difficult to control your self, but try it. Force yourself to do nothing, and the rising temper will go down because it has noth- ing to hold it up. The person who can and does control tongne, hand, heart, in the face of great provoca- ton, is a hero. The world may not own him or her as such, but God does. The Bible says that he that lnlcth Lis spirit is better thaD he that takcth a city. What is gained by yielding to temper9 For a moment there is a feeling of re- lief. but soon comeSa sense of sor- TOW and shame, with a wish that the temper had been controlled. Friends are separated by q bad temper; trouble is caused by it, and pain given to others as well as self. That pain too, often lasts for days-evcn years, sometimes for life. An ontburst of temper is like the barstiug ofa steam-boiler it is impossible to tell before hand what will be the result. The evil done may never beremedied. Starve your temper. It IS not worth keeping alive. Let 1t die,- Forward.

Pension Frauds Checked.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-The bitter attacks upon Pension Com missioner Black that crop out here and there in Republican organs are good evidence that he is doing thorough work in checking gross abuses Tn the Pension Office. In speaking of tue work of the office, Col. Mclean, First Deputy Com : mission cf Pensions, said today:
 ''The statement was made in the newspapers few months ago that iu the Philadelphia Pension Office many names of dead pensioners and remarked widows were carri- ed on the rolls, and that $20 ,O00 or more had been paid out by the Government on false representa- tions. Believing that such frauds might exist throughout the entire country, tho Commissioner direct cd that all the pensions be care fully scrutinized. This work was done through the special examina- ton division Of the bureau at Chi caGo and elsewhere. In tho Chi cago office the investigation dis closed 560 such names, which the agent there was directed to drop. This is the whole extent of what 1 has been done in this case. Gen. Black would have neglected his duty had he done less. For such performance of duty the most vio- lent attacks have been made upon the Commissioner"
 Chief Examiner Coleman, who is q Republican, fully corroborated this statement as to the serious ra- turc of tho nature discovered. He said that the investigation thus far shows irregularities in Alabama, Washington, Chicago, Philadelphia and elsewhere. The rolls of the Columbus agency are now being overhauled.
 q have the facts to tho press, " ne said, about the Chicago cases, and there was no thought of. re- flecting on tho Admini stration of
 any agent. The J6O names order ed to be dropped were not those included in the yearly report of the Pension Agent on June 30. The agent would have no authority to drop them without an order from Washington. This ought to make 0 it clear to anybody that no attempt has been made to involve any agent in official irregularity."
 1 Gen. Black will continue to re- organize the Boards of Examining Surgeons, as he thinks they need changing, in spite of the protests of Republicans of the Iowa stripe. For years the entire Pension Office has been a great political machine. Republican Commissioners have used all their powers to advance party interests. Only about fl fly of these medical examiners out of two thousand were Democrats. Thousands of surgeons throughout the country who served honorably in the Union army were ignored in making up these Boards. Gen. Black has changed all this, He has destroyed the partisan charac' ter of the Boards, and surgeons of both political parties serve on them. He has also appointed men from every reputable school of medicine.
