rich, golden brown or golden-red color
mat the Juice of the apples assume as
1t gathers in the reccptaclcs? This
Characteristic hue OF cider is almost
as pleasing to the eye as the flavor OF
Tie fresh, sweet juice is to the sense of
taste. 1t reminds one of the colors of
the autumn landscapes amid which the
apples have ripcncd. But science says
that cider owes its beautiful color to tho
TACT that it oXidiZcs or rusts.
a French chemist has recently shown
That the apple contains an oXidizing
Torment, kind of diatosc, which pro-
duccS the browniSh or reddish color OF
cider. The manner IN which this sub.
stance produces oxidation can readily
be observed by any one who cuts an
apple open and leaves it exposed for Il
short time TO the air. Ihc cut surfaces
gradually turn rel, a1 the oxygen of the
mir unites with the juice, or in n word,
the apple trusts.
This. rusting of an apple may also be
brought about by simply bruising the
fruit without breaking the skin. Ey-
crybody knows that apples that have
fallen violently to the ground show red
or rusty spots underneath the bruised
rind. In this case the oxygen is de-
rived from the air contained in tho
ducts Or interstlccs among the tissues
of the fruit, and it becomes active
through the breaking of the cells that
inclose the cEidizins fermcnt.
II an apple is ccoied before its skin
is broken It's tissues do not ozidlze
when exposed 10 the mir. This Is ex-
planned on the eupposltion that the
oxidizlrG properties of the ferment arc
destroyed by heat

mostly in water in which tho eggs are,
or by swallowing with tho grass, on
low pasture, tho small snuils in which
the worms eggs exist, as this is ono
stage of tho existence of this parasite
known MS tho liver ilukc. Tho symp-
toms OF tho disease arc whito skin,

below the jaws, and general Door con

There is ono point that tho beginner
too often overlooks, aud that is to
have good pastures, and especially to
have them clear of foul or noxious
weeds. Cows, in grazing over the
pastures, often cat weeds when they
are convenient, and this often causes

with advantage when tho grass is only

Grass should be cut when the plants
contain the most nutrimcnt, which
may he determined by observing the
amount of milk received from the
dairy. When the grass is Mt its best
tho flow of milk will be greatest; as
tho amount diminishes. the grass is of
less value. When grass is cut early
tho field will often produce CROP of
