Cider may be bottled after the vinous
fermentation is ended, but preferably
after six or eight weeks ripening of the
liquor. 1t may be bottled as "still' or
Sparkling" cider. In the former case
it is ''pasteurized. The cider is first
filtered through flannel, then bottled
and placed in vessel of water, which is
heated to not less than lao degrees nor
more than 100 degrees, kept so about o
minutes, then allowed gradually to cool
and the bottles laid away on their sides
For sparkling cider there is added rock
candy or refined sugar-four ounces per
gallon-to cider not pasteurized, but suf-
ficiently ripened. After corking and
wiring it should be placed in a cellar
of cool, even temperature.

for barnyard manure; relative efficiency
Of chemicals and barnyard manure;
comparison Of manufacturing fertili-
zers, chemicals and others and directions
for mixing and using fertilizers. From
the result Of all experiments the follow
ing conclusions are drawn:
Manure applied in the fall TO the sur
face, either of plowed or grass land,
will, by the action Of frost and rain, be-
come so thoroughly pulverized and dis
tributed through the soil that il acts
more quickly and is in better condition
for plants TO assimilate than the same
manure would be il applied in the
spring. The loss from evaporation and
drainage tunless the surface is very
steep) will probably be much less than
the loss resulting from fermentation IL
the manure is allowed TO accumulate
in cellars or the washing il left in open
yards.
On most soils and for most crops sur
face application is better than plowing
in, and especially if manure is applied
in the fall, but in any case, except for
manure that is so coarse that it cannot
be mixed with the soil by cultivation,
it is a safe rule to keep the manure as
near the surface as possible and to have
it as thoroughly mixed with the seed
bed as can be done. This carries with
it the necessity of using only such bed
ding and absoI bents as are Of themselves
fine or easily pulverized.
For our common field crops--corn,
oats, rye, barley, potatoes, etc. it is
not profitable to use more than from 10
to 20 carloads % to Z cords) Of manure
per acre.
On an average, on New Hampshire
soils and with general crops, 81 invest
ed in the best prepared fertilizers has
given an increase Of crop vGlued at
81. "a, while 81 invested in the chem
icals dissolved boneblack, muriate Of
potash, and sulphate Of ammonia) has
given an increase valued at &3 56, a
difference Of &1.22 in favor Of, and due
entirely to, the substitution Of chemic-
ais for prepared fertilizers at equal cost
This difference is due chiefly to the
wrong proportions Of plant food in the
prepared fertilizers, and moro to the de-
fciency of potash than any other cause.
Prepared fertilizer used gave: Phos-
phoric acid, 12 per cent; potash, per
cent; nitrogen, per cent.
While the chemicals that gave the
best results contained: Phosphoric acid,
s. 6 per cent; potash, IA 6 per cent; nj
trogen, Q. 4 per cent.
Chemicals properly mixed and used
can and do give as good returns as barn.
yard manure and oftentimes better, and
this in six years rotation. Leached
ashes gave better results per dollar in,
vested than whole ashes.

STUDENTS AS BURGLARS.
6 Mystery which Has BaHied Schenectady
Police Has Been Solved.

Police Has Been Solved.
SCHENECTADY, n. Y, Nov. 2O.-The
mystery Of the burlgaries that have been
bolllng the police for three weeks past has
been solved by the arrest Of g. q. Hum.
phrey Of Unadilla and Q. g. Miller of Ba
tayla, two Union college students, the
former sophomore and the latter fresh
man.
A wagonload Of stolen property was
found in the prisoners room at North
College, the articles found connettin
them with score of recent burPlnries.
The first tangible clew that the police oh
taned was soft felt hat, which was
found at the rear Of house on Union
street after burglary there some time
ago. Tracks were also found In tho soft
earth into which the shoes Of the prison.
ers fitted exactly.
A student who was robbed few nights
ago called at police headquarters and was
given a list of the articles which have been
stolen lately, and rs Humphrey was al.
ready under the suspicion Of his follow
students his room was searched. Enough
goods were found to convince them that
he was the thief, and the college authori.
ties were notified.
Dean RrtSn of Union notified the po.
lice Of these developments and within
half an hour the suspects had been arrest
ed. II is believed by the police that Hum.
phrey and Miller have burplarized over n
score of places within the Tnst three

TO say until they had consulted counsc.

Proteotin. Farm Machinery.

A Vermont farmer tells in The New
England Homestead how he protects his
farm implements with straw. He says:
1 found my hay loader much in the
way in the barH, and as l don't like to
take machines apart to store them, l
took it TO the orchard, raised it from the
ground, braced it so that none OF the
parts would be strained, and completely
covered it with a pile of straw. This
prevented any injury from the weather,
and it was a very cheap way of shelter
ing the loader. It took less time to cover
it with a small straw stack than to take
it apart. Binders and other implements
might be treated in the same way.

Celery, to be good, has to be perfect
ly blanched, and the blanching process
is accomplished generally by heaping
the earth around the stalks. For this
reason, according to Meehan's s Monthly,
the short bunchy varieties of celery are
more advantageous than the taller grow
ing kinds, as requiring less labor in
earthing up. 1t is chiefly for this reason
that the thick dwarf kinds are in favor
with American gardeners, as requiring
less labor to produce. Some Of these,
however, are not nearly as toothsome as
the taller varieties, and the efforts Of
the improver should be toward produc-
ing sweet nutty favored varieties Of the
dwarfer kinds.

In a report of the agriculturist of the
Massachusetts hatch station brief refer
ence is made to fertilizer experiments
with grass, oats, potatoes and corn, and
to hill versus drill culture for corn to
white mustard and crimson clover as
catch crops to Panicum crusgaIli and
p. miliaceum, and to varieties Of sofa
beans. The appearance of tubercles ON
the roots OF some varieties Of sofa beans
and not ON others was noted. Seed of
Canada peas was cheaply grown, but the
results of an attempt to grow seed of
vetches were unsatisfactory. In feIti-
hzer experiments ON meadows it was
noted that elovers grew well wherever
potash was applied. Potash and stable
manure applied to corn afforded larger
profit than did stable manure applied
'one, but in greater quantity. The yield
# potatoes was greater with sulphate Of
otash thnn with muriate of potash, and
the fertilizers gave better returns when
Grilled than when applied broadcast.

No one seems to know what the prin-
ciple is in green second growth sorghum
that in very few minutes kills cattle
eating it. 1t is for practical purposes
sufficient to know that it does kill in
many instances. yet in others it has no
visibly bad effect The same applies to
green second growth Kaffir corn, which
is a nonsaccharine sorghum, but when
either is cured there is no more danger
in it than in any other fodder or hay.
Kafiir corn is a very popular crop for both
grain and forage among those who know
it best. Prairie Farmer.

ZIG FIRE IN LOWELL.
The Parker block burned, with a Loss OF
S35O,OOO.

Lowell, Mass, Nov 2O.-Thc large
five story brick building ON Middle street,
known as the Parker block, was almost
destroyed by fire this morning. Fire start
ed in the store Of j. n. Benvcy on the first
floor about l:i5.
The flames spread rapidly and were aid
ed by repeated explosions of whisky in
barrels in i NJ. Beavoys liquor ore,
which blow ont the windows and created
havoc with the windows in adjoining
buildings.
At 2:l5 all the engines in the city were
at work, and mt that time it looked as II
the fire was under control, but suddenly
it hlazrd up furously and threatened to
eat its way through to Mrrrimaok street.
BY hard work the flames were confined
to the building, and nearby property was
only slightly damaged.
The upper floors of the block were used
by the Appleton Manufacturing company
for the storage Of cotton goods and il Is
estimated that there were 5000, 600 worth
there when lhe fire broke out, all of which
was destroyed
At 2:3O the fire was under control
From present estimates the loss will ex-
coed $3.50, 600. The building was owned

BANNER OF PROTECTION.
Why the Cotton States Should Filing 1t to
the Breeze and Rally Around It,

Why the Cotton States should Fling 1t to
the Breeze and Rally Around It,
The Manufacturers Record, good
southern authority, says that the num,
ber Of cotton mills projected in the south
during the last three months, from June
to August, inclusive, exceeds that Of
any similar period in the history Of cot
ton mill building in that region. There
were projected n mills, which will
have an aggregate of over 300, 900 spin
dies. These, with the new mills pro-
jected prior to May 81, Will make an
addition Of SEQ, 600 spindlJs to be added
to the number now in operation in the
south. IF these mills" says The
Manufacturers Record, "be all built, as
indications promise, the aggregate in
vestment viii represent over $40, ,000,
900. "
Now, we ask the people in the south,
do they suppose that if the duties on
cotton goods were swept away, capi-
talists, large OF small would invest
$15, 900, 600 in new cotton mills? We
are sure they would not. Lancashire
could undersell them in their own mar
kets and the investment would not pay,
In the face of such consideration south
ern politicians and journals clamor for
that free trade policy which, if carried
to its logical conclusion, would abolish
cotton and wooden duties and raise rev
enue by imports on sugar, tea, coffee
and the like There should be great
southern uprising for protection.
Now that the south is coming 10 the
front gs a great manufacturing region,
she should fling to the breeze the banner
Of protection and rally around il.

An Item In Irrigation.

It is claimed by some that water
should not come in direct contact with
the base of the tree. f. S. Richman Of
the Utah station is not certain, however,
that water will damage the base of the
trees, but direct contact can be avoided
by throwing dirt around the bases Of the
trees. Many orange groves are irrigated
in California without any protection for
the trees, and there appears to be no in
jury resulting from the practice.
