MAKING VINEGAR.
How to Dispose Of Good share OF the
Farms Apple Crop

Farms Apple Crop
One of the common uses now made
OF the apple crop in many sect ons is ts
convert large portion of 1t into vine-
gar. With many farmers this has en-
tirely superseded making cider for
beverage, and from the fact that less
care is needed in gathering the fruit it
is found fully as profitable. When
made in large quantities the process
begins as soon as enough apples have
fallen from the trees to furnish sup
ply.
The apples are ground in mills as for
cider, and the juice may be expressed
at once, but more commonly the pom
ace is kept in watts or hogsheads until
it has fermented and become quite sour
before the pressing is done. This sour
cider is then allowed to settle and is
run into barrels, but not quite full.
Throughout the fall season these bar
rels should be kept in the sun, covered
with loose boards as a protection to the
cooperage, and the bungs should be
left out until it is necessary to remove
them for the winter. The bungb oles
should be covered with bits of thin
netting that will keep out insects with
out excluding the air.
Experience has demonstrated that q
barrel contains about the right guam.
tity of liquid, and an open bunghole
gives sufficient exposure to the atmos-
phere for making vinegar of the best
quality by this slow, natural process.
Some dilution with water is often nee
essary where the cider is so rich in
saccharine matter as to prevent its
turning to vinegar in a reasonable
length of time.
Vinegar barrels should be iron
hoped and be kept we'll painted to re.
sist exposure and prevent leakage.
The natural process will require year
or more of time to produce an article
acid enough to meet the requirements
of the market, but 1t will continue to
grow stronger by age, and will admit
of sufficient dilution TO compensate for
loss by evaporation and leakage.
The natural process of vinegar max
ing may be accelerated by occasionally
running the cider from one barrel into
another and thus exposing it for time
more fully to the air. Adding gallon
or two of strong vinegar or little
mother to each barrel of sour cider is
another method. Still another method
is trickling it down through beech
chips or shavings and corncobs satu
rated with strong old vinegar.

Death of Shade Trees.

Prof. J. C. Arthur, of Purdue univer-
sity, was called to Cleveland to investi-
gate the cause of the death of the fine
shade trees of that city. After two
days study the professor gives it as
his opinion that coal SCOT is the
principal cause of the blight that is de-
stroying so many trees in that city.
The SCOT closes the pores of the leaves
and shuts off their supply of organic
matter, as well as interferes with their
exhalation Of water. Prof Arthur fur
Their SAYS that the water-tight pave.
ments are somewhat injurious and
that the reduction OF the water depth
from eight to sixteen feet by the new
Ell sewers has probably contributed to
the disease of the trees. He recon-
mends the discarding of naples and
elms and the planting of poplars, red
and white oaks and other smooth
leaved trees which ire not so much af.

Money In Cheafnut Traes.

The prophet Ezekiel testified con-
corning the beauty of chestnut trees,
and in his time doubtless cracked many
a chestnut, says writer in Vick's
Magazine, but of their worth as fnan-
cial speculation he probably knew
little. The Spanish chestnut is more
than twice as large..as Castanea vesca-
the American-but it is not half so
sweet. 1t is, however, delicious when
cooked, and the number of delicate
dishes prepared from it is surprising.
A number of recipes come from Italy,
Germany and England. Among them
are: "Chestnuts Stewed with Cream"
Chestnut Bread and Griddle Cakes"
Chestnut Soup" and Chestnut Stuff
ing for Fowls" all Of which have been
pronounced delectable by different epi-
cures. The Spanish chestnut grows
readily from the nut, thrives well in
this country and produces in about
seven years. A good average for a
Spanish chestnut throughout its prime
is estimated at S25 yearly.

Appearance and Manner Of Growth OF
Some Common Varieties,
Among fungi we find such forms as
the ergot of rye, blackknot of the
plum, powdery mildew of the grape
and the common mildew of the goose-
berry. This fungus is not confined to
rye, but is sometimes found on other
members Of the grass enthusiastically,
blue grass and even wheat. Moisture
seems to be favorable for its growth,
hence more common in Europe than
here. 1t affects the flower of the
plant, and when it reaches maturity
shows itself as an unnatural condition
of the seed. In the case of rye, you OBJ
serve a grain about four times the
proper size, and of purplish-black
color Ia and b. This is the so-called
ergot, purple-black on the outside, but

THE RESTLESS AMERICAN.
He Can Rest Only in the Midst of lntens
Activity,

He Can Rest Only In the Midst of Intense
Activity.
Perhaps the American deceives him
self when he says he wants repose;
what he wants is perpetual activity and
change; his peace of mind is postponed
until he can get it in his own way. 1t
is in feeling that he is part of gro with
and not of decay Foreigners are fond
of writing essays upon American traits
and characteristics They touch most
ly on surface indications. What really
distinguishes the American from all
others-for all peoples like more or less
to roam, and the English of all others
are globe-trotters-is not so much his
restlessness as his entire accord with
the spirit of ''go-ahead," the result of
his absolute breaking with the past.
He can repose only in the midst of in
tense activity. He can sit down quiet
ly in town that is growing rapidly;
but If it stands still, he is impelled to
move his rocking-chair to one more
lively. He wants the world to move,
and to move unencum bered; and Eu.
rope seems to him to carry too much
baggage. The American is simply the
most modern of men, one who has
thrown away the impedimenta of ira
dition. The world never saw such a
spectacle before, so vast territory in
formed with one uniform spirit of en-
ergy and progress, and people tumbling
into it from all the world, eager for the
fair field and free opportunity. The
American delights in it; in Europe he
misses the swing and go" of the new
life. Charles Dudley Warner, in Har-
per's Magazine.
