Cider Making.

The cider making establishment of
Bushong & Wismln, at this place, is in
successful operation, turning out cider at
a rate that ia simply astonishing to our
people. The grinding apparatus is run BY
steam, the apples being thrown into q
hopper as fast as a man can do it with a
large scoop. from where they are carried
up b. rapidly moving elevator to the
or hiding machine above where they are
ground very fine, the pumice falling into
the pre- So frames below. When full they
are passed under the hydraulic press
where 1t is subjected to pressure OF
about ninety tons extracting the ! asst
drop of juice and leaving the pumice al
most dry enough to burn.
The yield Of cider is far greater than
by any of the land presses now in use
through this section, good apples making
about five gallons to the bushel, and on
Tuesday three thousand gallons was made
without pushing the machinery to Its foil
capacity. In connection with the above
Messrs. Bushong & Wisman have steam
apparatus for the raj id boiling of apple
butter and Jelly, by which they can turn
ont large quantities Of the finished pro-
duct In a very short time.
This establishment is quite a curiosity
to many persons who never tire of watch
ing the rapidltY with which the apples
are turned into cider.

HARRIsoNBURo.

If there is any town In the Shenandoah
Valley that has manifested more public
spirit than the oShers, 1t is Harrisonburg.
She spent twenty-five thousand dollars
for water works and is now practically
out of water. on account Of her we'll
beng out Of order. When everything 10
in good shape, it only supplies water for
fire. manufacturing and some other pur-
poses. Her citizens are compelled to
spend thousands of dollars each year for
drinking water, which IS hauled four
miles in wagons and ia sold by the gallon.
This, however does not discourage the
public spirited cltizeni OF that old town
They are now looking around for another
supply and will not be satisfied until their
town is abundantly supplied with good
water. They invested $50 900 in
the collapsed narrow gauge railroad. and
when there was prospect to have the
Chesapeake and Western start from Har-
risonburg, they were ready to pat up the |
collateral for the railroad, which seems
TO run from nowhere to nowhere, bot
which, In our opinion, before many years
will be hourishing road RAINING from
ieep water to the immense coal fields of
". Va.
1t is such public spirit as has been
manifested by the people of Harrisonburg
hat converts small villages into flourish
ng cities.
With the extension of the b. & o.
which now seems to be an assured fact,
here will be moro work at the shops at
he end OF the 6rst division which Is
coated IN Harrisonburg and we may
easonably expect to see the population
lpidly increase. We are glad to see it,
BECAUSE by their pluck, enterpri-e and
ublic spirit, they show that they de-
erye it.

WOODSTOCK VA, sept. "a, 1910.
ED. HERALD:
| Dear Sir:
The HERALD reacL.
cd me on time as usual last week and
was read with pleasure, giving all the
news of your town and county which IS
always Of interest to me, even though
am not ''natlve and to the manner
born !" yet know your town aud county,
and your people.
was forcibly struck with an article In
this issue OF your paper abont water sup
ply, aud must confess was Surprised
that such things could be- and had
not known tba: the HERALD would 10
publish any thing bat facts should have
hesitated to believe it,
Now, Mr.. Editor, is there any where n
more beautiful or desirable spet than your
little town of Woodstock resting as il
does in the most fertile portion of most
fertile valiey-indeed in tho garden spot
of Virginia, with the lovely Shenandoah
river winding Its way through meadow
lands aud fields, that } leld an abundance
ofevery thing; land indeed, that needs
only to be "tickied with hoe, and it
will laugh with a harvest" On either
side of you are ranges of mountains,
which can hardly be surpassed for gran
denr and beauty; the town itself nicely
adorned with beautiful shade trees; To Q
streets well built up with stores, kept By
enterprising, pleasant merchants; good
hotels; handsome and comfortable resi-
dences in which dwell the kindest and
most hospitable people the sun ever shone
upon churches of all denominations in
deed every thing to make Woodstock a
most desirable residential town, and cal
culated to attract not only persons desIr-
ing to End home. but to induce visitors
to come from the cities during the heat ul
summer, to enjoy your pure mountain air,
and lovely scenery; to spin along yOur
team; and yet Ito judge from the article
referred to above, and others in former
issues of your paper lacking IN the essen
tial thing to health aud comfort, namely
good drinking water. Why csDnot
your people awaken to the necessity of
providing remedy for this evil both on
account of the health and comfort to
themselves, and to induce Others to come
among You, TO dwell or to visit. Thee
things cause a stranger (who finds so
much to enjoy when in WoOdstock) to
wonder why remedy is not applied al
once. So keep up the fight Mr.. Editor,
smite the unclean water and don't "let
up" until you eau congratulate the town
of Woodstock on good supply of pure
drinking water, ana may you succeed in
your praiseworthy effort. -

New Mail Route.

Important.

In this issue will be found two excel
lent commur ications upon the subject of
supplying the town with water. We are
glad to publish them. 1t shows that the
people are becoming interested in this
important subject. The growth of our
town, the business Of our town, the pro-
lection of our property aud moro than
all, the health Of our people demand an
abundant supply of pure water.
There is one case of typhoid fever in
town now. We do not know whether it
is traceable to the water Of any Of our
wells or not, but it is an important
warning to all OF us. We would advise
people, who are compelled to use water
from wells that have not been cleaned
within the recollection of the middle aged
inhabitants Of the town, to boil all their
drinking water. This Is considered one
of the most effective precautions that
could be taken. II the weather should
continue dry, we are almost sure to have
typhoid fever. We know that the water
in nearly all our public wells has been
pronounced dangerous by a competent
chemist. Self protection suggests the
careful guarding against this disease.
One case in your family would cost You
more than your share of the cost of a
good supply of water in many years, to
say nothing of the loss OF members of
your family. 1t may be delayed by the
opposition of some and the indifference of
others, but the day is not far distant
when Woodstock, in addition to her 9th
attractions, will have an abundant sup
ply Of good, pure water. There are
three or four good sources of supply
within reach, more convenient than that
which supplies many towns.
