KeepIng Glider sweet.

The usual plan is to heat the cider
over a slow fire TO 40 degrees and hold
it at that temperature for 20 minutes tc
kill the germs that would start fermen-
tation. IL is then put hot into bottles,
jugs or clean kegs and corked tight and
the corks wired down. BE careful not
TO let the cider boil, as it will greatly
injure the flavor.
Another recipe reads as follows
Strain your cider into the barrel and al
low il to stand until fermentation be-
gins and then draw it off, rinse the bar
rel and strain the cider back again.
Now take three-fourths of an ounce each
of oil of sassafras and oil of winter
green, put il in pint of alcohol and
shake thoroughly and stir it well
through the cider. 1t is said the only
trouble in keeping this is that it is too
good TO keep and is soon consumed.
Whatever method is employed, the
straining or filtering plays an important
part

ing II should be Of size 10 correspond
with the size Of the barn. It has four
substantial posts at the corners. On each
Of its four sides it is fitted with doors or
windows made quite light, but strong,
and hung at the top with very loose,
easy working strap or strap and tee
hinges Across from the centers Of the
doors light rod or stick passes and is
fastened to each door with strap hinge
or by having its end pass between two
cleats with a bolt or pin through 1t as
shown. This cross rod or stick is long
enough to hold tho doors in a calm out
at the bottom about 30 degrees each, as
shown in the upper part of the cut.
When the wind blows from either way,
the door ON the windward side will be
closed, but In 50 closing il will force its
mate open TO compensate, as shown in
the lower pair.
III desirable to close all these doors or
any pair Of them, IL win only be neces-
gary to make the cro5spieces in two
parts, connect them in the middle with
a strap hinge ON the lower side and
from this run cord up over pulley in
the roof and down within reach as
shown on tho upper pair Of doors. BY
simply pulling on one Of these cords the
center will be raised and both doors
drawn shut. When desirable to open
them, pull ON the other cord, and when
down its weight will hold the doors
open.
On one other point much discussion
has taken place. Shall the ventilating
trunks go to the bottom of the stable or
simply through the ceiling? 1 have
given much thought 70 this subject, and
while it is theoretically just right to
have the trunk go to the floor practical
ly would not lose the room 70 have il
done. If this device be put on its top,
the least breeze will, by flowing around
the cupola, cause "a strong upward draft
in the shoot and will take all the foul
air out. If we get that out, pure air
will find its way in. No stable was ev-
er so tight that millions of feet Of air
could not get in if we made place for
it by taking the foul air out.

SHREDDED CORN FODDER.

An Eastern Experience With Husker and
Shredder The Cheapest Plan.
A New York correspondent of The
National Stockman, who has been en-
deayoring to come nearest to the points
Of profit in the way Of producing the
corn crop and realizing profit through
the manufactured product, beef, pork
and butter, relates the following expe-
rience:
To facilitate the work, cheaper the
cost of production and have the manure
product ia the best possible form we
have been thrashing and shredding our
corn crop of about % acres for two or
three seasons. In 1895 we thrashed and
no material loss followed, but we were
not fully satisfied and determined to
learn something more. In 1896 we pro-
cured the services Of a husker and
shredder, which, to say the least, proved
very expensive, costing the price Of the
coal, about the same gang as is required
to thrash grain, and added to this 4
cents per bushel (of ears). | was quite
well satisfied as TO the results when the
job was done, but later on / found that
the ears, about / 700 bushels in all, had
not carried through in good shape.
While the sides of the crib, where the
corn was exposed, had cured out fairly
well, the center had become quite moldy.
With 20 acres of the slower | mixed
evenly 10 acres of heavy cat straw and
thought sure, according to many sup
posed well informed writers, that had
an ideal job. But later on found that
the whole mass had gone into a sweat,
from which it never fully recovered.
While my cows ate it quite well did
not consider it wholesome fodder, as
it was so full of dry mold, and in many
instances where it has been fed little
too literally it has caused abortion to
the detriment Of many herds. Now to
say that did not make the conditions
right would hardly be fair, because
postponed the hauling of my corn until
cold weather, at which time it was in
perfect condition.
Now, to have it done in the cheapest
way possible / propose to resort to the
thrashing plan and put into force some
of the wisdom have gathered by ex-
perience. | can get the job done for 2
cents per bushel (shelled CORN, and the
fodder is just the same as though shred
ded. propose to haul enough into the
barns that | can furnish room in spread
ing the shelled corn and scattering the
fodder loosely ON scaffolds and in bay
without treading, in all about 10 or 20
loads, then put the balance in small
stacks close to the barn on sod plot.
This | can haul to the barns through
the winter. About two or three thrash
ings will do the whole business, as
more can be safely done as the weather
becomes cooler. 1t can be done after the
other farm work and fall blowing is
out of the way. In this way / shall
head off the mold, have a perfect feed
and reduce the cost to the minimum.

Diseases of Celery.

At the Rhode Island station efforts
have been made to ascertain the cause
of and remedies for the various diseases
of celery--that is, black heart, blights
and blasts Of celery These diseases are
not confined to any particular variety,
and there is no indication that tho
spores are introduced with the seed
when planted. nor could they be as
cribed to excessive drought, as they pre-
vailed ON irrigated sections of the field.
Bordeaux mixture seemed to check
the disease upon the leaves at first, but
later in the season, when the weather
became cooler but little if any differ
ence could be detected between the rows
that had been treated and those which
had not. Black heart and blight were as
prevalent upon new land as on that
which was before in the crop, and there
were no indications that the disease was
contagious. They always appeared in
the most violent form either during or
soon after period of hot weather The
effect of trenching and mulohing was
considered to some extent, and it was
Aouhu ehoo' "hiAo q AoSh "a ploPoi PAO-
lection of the roots was not the sole
cause of celery disease, yet this seemed
to be the principal cause where level
culture was practiced.
The production of hollow stalks is
thought to be a hereditary trait, as they
appear more commonly in some varieties
than in Others but as all varieties pro
duce them at times conditions of the
soil may also have something to do with
their occurrence.
