KEEPING EARLY MADE CIDER SWEET
Various Methods Described for Arresting
After Fermentation Of This Beverage.

Various Methods Described for Arresting
After Fermentation Of This Beverage.
Ii is a difficult matter to keep cider
sweet that is made early in the season,
| owing partly to the immaturity and i'm
projections of the fruit, but principally
TO the tendency TO fermentation caused
by warm atmosphere. Some persons
use sulphite of lime mot sulphate), one
| eighth of an ounce to gallon of CIDER
others put a few ounces of mustard seed
in each barrel to arrest fermentation at
the point desired; others again consider
the old time method of scalding to be
one of the best and least objectionable
| To effect this the cider should, after it
| has first slightly fermented, be drawn or
dipped from the casks. where it has been
standing TO settle, into large copper ket-
ties or an old copper still, and be heated
just up to the boiling point and no longer,
| when it should be again put into open
casks to settle and become cold. 1t will
then be ready to be tightly bunged in
| barrels and stored away
During the heating a large quantity
of scum will rise TO the top to be
skinned off. and during the cooling
most of the impurities still held in solu-
ton will be deposited as sediment in the
bottom of the casks While cider thus
created will afterwards taste slightly of
the scalding, it will not be unpleasant to
those who like it sweet, and is to be pre-
ferred TO that in which fermentation has
been arrested by mustard seed or chem
icals. This process will stop fermenta-
ton at the right point to leave it sweet.
and will quite thoroughly cleanse it from
impurities. but will effect it .unfavor-
ably for making into vinegar afterwards.
BY making the early falling fruit into
vinegar and deferring cider making un-
Ill November, the fruit can all be worked
up. and whatever cider is made will be
enough better in quality to compensate
for the loss in quantity.

Practical Suggestions to Wheat Growers.
The following suggestions, based on re-
suits of experiments of the Indiana sta
ton, are furnished by Professor Latta:
Select a hardy, prolific wheat, adapted to
your soil, and stick to it. Give it good
treatment and it will not run out. 4"
Sow not less than six pecks of sound seed
to the acre. Plow wheat ground early,
and harrow Immediately after plowing.
You can thus more easily and more
thoroughly pulverize the soil If ground
breaks up cloddy, use heavy roll alternat-
ing with some form Of harrow or culti-
vator that will bring clods to surface. If
manure or fertilizers are used, mix thor
oughly with soil in every case. Use only
rotted manure, if any, and apply after
blowing. Reserve the fresh manure for
the corn crop. Before trying fertilizer
get the experience and advice of farmers
whose soils are similar to your own. Test
the untried brands carefully, in a small
way, before deciding upon their exten-
sive use. This is the best course, for the
reason that even the highest grades often
act very differently on different soils.
Adopt a rotation of crops suited to your
soil and needs Bear in mind that soils
and climate vary greatly in different To-
calities, and that these potent factors in
crop production will very materially
affect the results of your work. There
fore, study your local conditions.

RETURNED FROM SAN ANToTIo.

Mr.. George L. Rouse, ST., accompanied
by Mrs. Rouse, returned yesterday morn
ing from San Antonio, Texas, where they
have been for the past six weeks and where
also Mr., r. is largely interested in some
valuable properties with several Cincin-
natl, Wichita and other capitalists. San
Antonio IS one of the very best cities III
the great eInpire;of Texas, and has class
of citizens whose push and energy par
take very largely Of the Wichita type
Within the past year or so her fame as a
growing city and Is winter RESORT, has
become more widespread throughout the
north and east, and the result is very
healthy yet rapid growth and develop
ment.
Texans generally entertained for Wichita
and kansans and answered by saying that
one would be surprised to hear such ey-
pressiOns OF admiration as are used by
Texans in speaking of the superior merits
Of our city and state. One gentleman in
particular, whom he mentioned had said
in speaking OF the mention made Of Wich-
ita i'll Harper's Weekly, that it was most
fair and candid write-up and showed upon
its face by sore of the unbiased utter
ances which amounted TO admissions, that
no Wichita man wrote or dictated the
same, and that il was q great credit and
benefit to the city.

GOVERNMENT BUILDING.

The people of Wichita will be rejoiced
to learn that now since the new govern
ment building has been let, that there
will be a genuine show of life and energy
in connection with its construction.
At the uperintendent's office yesterday
the gentleman in charge said that Mr.. V.
Jobst, of Peoria, Illinois, the contractor
TO whom was recently let the contract,
would arrive in the city next week and
Immediately begin work on the building
with the forced determination OF complet-
ing the same within the time of one year
specified in his contract with Uncle Sam.
This is doubly gratifying TO our people
First. for the reason that they will soon
have creditable postoffice and United
States court building and second because
this construction Will give employment to
quite number of mechanics during the
year. Should the winter continue as the
present indications suggest very few if any
days work will be lost on the government
building, the court house, the Whitaker
packing houses or any of the numerous
business buildings, residences, etc,
throughout the city. The same may be
said of the progress with the sewerage
system
