DAYS OF APPLEJACK GONE.
There Is Now Little Demand foE
Spirits Once Made Extensively
in New York.

"a few years ago Orange county
made more applejack than any other
county in the union, New Jersey not
barred" said an old-time farmer
says a special correspondent of the
Chicago Inter Ocean. 'In the town
of Warwick alone there were ~ ap.
p1ejack distilleries. We turned out
100000 gallons a year and paid the
government $4,000 year tax for
doing it. There was scarcely town
in the county that didn't squeeze it's
quota of apples into cider and con.
vert the cider into applejack.
"Orange county began the making
of applejack before the revolutionary
war. There is in use in the Sayre
distillery near Warwick kettle and
worm, the product of which in apple
jack paid excise duty to King George
III. 1t was then in a still somewhere
in the Hudson highlands. The Sayre
still is the only one left out of the
~. All the old stills in other parts
of the county have disappeared.
There are perhaps not more than 49,
900 gallons of applejack made in
Orange county to-day.
"There was time, not long ago,
when one would hear no other tipple
asked for by the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
in Orange county. If you asked for
whisky, applejack would invariably
be set out to you. To-day if you ask
for applejack right here in it's old
time home the landlord will have to
take look over his stock to see
whether he has got any. It was no
uncommon thing for as high as ten
dollars gallon to be paid for apple
jack known to be from some partic-
ular still, or to have been a certain
number Of years in the farmers cell
lar. Some of the best applejack ever
made is lying in farm cellars to-day.
There is some more than 40 years
old. But somehow the present gen.
Grafton has gone away from the good
old taste of the fathers, and apple
jack that ought to be worth one dol
lar drop is ignored for tumultuous
rye and cheap beer.
"The distillers that are left in
Orange county say there is no money
in applejack any more, one reason
being that rye and corn whisky can
be made so much cheaper. So the
glory of Orange county applejack is
gone, and it really makes little diff
ference now whether her orchards
bear in the even or the odd number
years, or whether they bear at ALL"

@URIOSITY and love of travel
~ combined caused me to take an
extensive trip through the ag-
ricultural sections of Western Canada
during the past summer, and while
there I was given the best of opportu-
mites of studying and judging for my
self of the conditions that exist in that
extensive section of our con tinent.
After I had Travelled over few mil

fertile to produce thirty and forty
bushels of wheat to the acre from less

eminent gives everyone desiring it a
free homestead of 160 acres of this
land, and where more may be bought

for the land upon which it is grown, it
is wicked waste of time to cultivate
the "fence corners"
Before had acquired this informa-
ton was on one farm where road
way cut off small corner of land from
the remainder of a field of wheat.
There was, should say, nearly an acre
in this little plat of neglected ground,
and asked the owner of the farm why
It had not been put under cultivation.
ITO undertake to pillow that little
three-cornered strip of land would
take far more time than the land is
worth, giving both the present market

there is 100 acres of as good land as
this upon which have this year grown
more than 30 bushels of wheat to the
acre, and can buy that land OF the
railroad for 81 an acre. It would take
as much time to plow that small piece,
in it's present shape, as it would to
pillow two acres of the land across the
road, and so would be what we in this
country consider waste of valuable
time"
Straight burrows and long ones is
the blowing rule in Western Canada,
and the gang pillow is the favorite meth
cd of turning the soil. The Western
Canada farmer, found, cultivates his
land upon wholesale methods. No
matter what the methods in vogue in
his native place may nave been, the
farmer in Canada soon learns that it is
wholesale methods that pay best there,
and for this reason it is Western Cana
da that is the home of every improved
agricultural machine that tends to
the speedy handling Of great harvests
or the production of them. These ma
chimes are not always the product OF
Western Canadian inventors, but the
Western Canadian farmers are among
the heaviest buyers of this class OF ag-
ricultural machinery in the world.
The Canadian farmer never becomes
land poor as does the farmer in the
States. When he buys land he knows
that it will bring him adequate returns
upon his investment, and that his gov
eminent will not put burden of taxes
upon it. AS sample of what is posi-
