The days Of drinking cider as Il beverage
ON the farm and the old farm cider mill are
no more The great waves Of temperance
agitation which have swept continuously
over the country the past twenty years
and the strong sentiment against cider
wine and all Intoxicating liquor drinking
have driven the cider press from the farm
and that institution is now found generally
ON "a large scale In villages and towns where
the manufacture Of cider vinegar apple
Jelly, etc, has grown TO he an important
business owned and carried on 10y business

This is a decided Improvement The old
farm cider mill was considered. 10y some at
least, a curse to the rural districts the
nursery Of the saloon and the enemy Of
temperance. 1t is well that it has been
driven from the farm, for the good results
of this revolution in cider making are al
ready visible The cider barrel in the eel
lar is not as common as in days of yore
and cider as a farm drink has given away

ter Only few years ago the cider barrel
occupied an important place at elections
town meetings, caucuses, and other public
gatherings, and it was not uncommon to see
villagers farmers and farmer boys under
the influence of hard cider This custom
has been also slowly passing out Of exist
ence, and in most places hard cider has been
banished from the polls.
The manufacture of cider vinegar and
apple jelly on a large scale is n very prof
liable business, and the product has in
creased considerably. especially the produc-
tion Of apple Jelly Cider mills are run in
connection with large fruit evaporating es-
adjustments with great profit, as they use
up all the waste parts Of the fruit as well
as small inferior fruit not suitable for evap-
Grating. There are many neighborhoods
IN which an establishment of this kind
would do paying business and be an &c

There are a number of methods in use
for keeping the late varieties of grapes 81
as to lengthen the season for this fruit
These methods all depend for their success
ON the same conditions. In the first place.
it Is desirable that the fruit shall retain its
bloom hence great care in handling it is
necessary to prevent the branches coming

The first method is to take new shoe or

same size, and nail cleats ON the inside of
the ends or sides about one inch from the
top, and between them bars at various dis
tances, as required 10y the varying length

Abusing Horses,

1t seems to be natural for some men to
always be- humping and abusing the horses
which they handle In fact such work is
practiced 10y some To such an extent that
their horses think there is something wrong
if they are not slashed or jerked around all
the time. and scarcely know what to do
with themselves when they are placed in
the hands of men who know how to man
age horses that have been properly trained
without abusing them. To say the least
these abusive methods are shameful and
needless, and are only practiced by those
who know little or nothing about horse
manship. The idea prevails among this ig-
norant class Of men that without this rough
treatment they could not manage their
horses. This Is one of the greatest errors
that men who handle horses can fall into

A Warning.

The modes of deaths approach are
various, and statistics show conclu-
sively that more persons die from dis
eases of the Throat and Lungs than
any other. 1t is probable that every
one, without exception, receives vast
numbers of Tubercle Germs into the
system and where these germs fall
upon suitable soil they start into life
and develop, at first slowly and is
shown by slight tickling sensation
in the throat and If allowed to con-
tinue their ravages they extend to the
lungs producing Consumption and to
the head, causing Catarrh. Now all
this is dangerous and if allowed TO
proceed will in time cause death. AT
the onset you must act with prompt
ness; allowing cold to go without
your attention is dangerous and may
lose you your life. As soon as you
feel that something is wrong with
your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, OBJ
tain a bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. 1t will give you immediate
relief.

I pray that, risen from the dead,
l may in glory stand,
A crown, perhaps, upon my head
But a needle in my hand.
I've had no time to learn to play
So let no harp be mine;
Through all my life, by night and day,
Plain sewing's been my line.
Therefore, accustomed, to the end,
To plying useful stitches;
I'll be content if asked to mend
The little angels breeches.
