TO MAKE GOOD CIDER.
Use Only Ripe Apples Of Prime
Quality If You want 10 Produce
u Fine Article,

Cider of the best quality suitable
to use for drinking should be made
from apples ripe enough, rich enough
and of sufficiently good quality to
make paIatabIe product. Such
varieties as Whitneys No. 20 make an
excellent cider. Varieties like
/ Duchess of OIdcnburg are too acid
to make cider of fine flavor and good
quality. The understood fruit Of
varieties like Winesap and Jcnct
make cider of excellent quality, suit
able for table use. They have the
additional advantage of ripcning
later in the fall. Cider made late in
the fall can be kept sweet or nearly
so and in suitable condition for
drinking longer than that made dur
ing the heat of the summer or dur
ing the earlier fall months.
Cider intended simply for vinegar
is usually made from the refuse of
apples, that is, those too small for
as windfalls and are not merchant
able.
If the farmers object is simply to
utilize the waste fruit and get it into
vinegar he will purchase grinder
and press suitable to the amount of
work to be done.
Under the old-fashioned method Of
making vinegar, cider generally stood
in barrels for two years before II
was in condition for use. This old
time process is very slow and not
commercially profitable, since the
market is flooded with vinegar made
from corn at very much lower
price than the farmer can afford to
make vinegar from apples.
With ordinary processes each
bushel of apples should make two
gallons or more of cider. Should it
be the thought of the maker to pro-
duce clear, fine cider suitable for
drinking, care should be taken in the
selection of fruit. The better quail
ity of the fruit the more refreshing
the juice and drink.
While yet sweet the cider should
be heated and skinned for the SPACE
of two hours at temperature of 1G5
degrees. The cider thus pasteurized
may be stored in Mason fruit lars.

TWO EXCELLENT CROPS.
Sweet Corn and Fodder as Well rs
Sorghum BeliShcd by Hogs and
Milk Cows.

There are two crops that can be
grown by the farmer in almost any
part of the corn and hog belt that are
especially adapted for hogs and COWS.
One of these is sweet corn, and the
other is sorghum. The former can be
cultivated about as cheaply as field
corn, but will mature much earlier and
comes in at time when the grain is
scarcest and most needed. 1t is an
ideal feed for young stun. especially
for pigs. 1t gives them start so that
they are in good condition for field corn
later on.

better for cattle. | will plant three
feet six inches by three feet and not
too much in a hill. so as to get as large
n growth as possible to the stalk and

Hand separntors Multiplying.

The number of hand separators on
farms is increasing both in this coun-
try and in Europe. There is con-
slant conflict of opinion between those
in favor of the hand separator and
those in favor of milk delivered whole
to the central creamery. Each method
has an advantage. With men owning
but few cows the hand separator will
never be popular, as it represents a
considerable investment and requires
skilled care. The man that has a
goodly number of cows finds the sep
arator good investment. So we may
expect to see the two systems exist
side by side. The hand separator is
certainly preferable from sanitary
standpoint, except where the large
creamery sterilized all skim milk.

The Pulling of Needs.

When we pull weeds at time
when nearly ripe they evince GER
tain degree of care and solicitude
for their precious seeds that is no.
ticeable and rather touching. 1 have
seen them curl their leaves around
or upward almost as far as possible,
to seemingly cover those seeds from
the intense heat of the sun. / have
often found weeds wilted, quite dead,
sun-killed, whose leaves were yet
all wrapped about the seed-pods pro-
tectingly. And all this is found, if
only observed. in those despicable
and ignominous old weeds.-F. L. Ris-
ley, Epitomist.

HURT IN TROLLEY CRASH.
T1co Men in Hospital; Car and
Wagon Smashed.

Bloomfield. N. J., July 5 CSpeciaD.-In troll

o'clock tonight two men were severely in
jured trolley car was wrecked and wagon
loaded with gas pipes upset and wrecked
The injured were Charles Colburn, of East
Orange a contractor skull fractured. and James
Coffey, motorman OF the car, legs broken and
injured internally Both were later removed 10
the Mountainside Hospital in an ambulance by
order of Dr. W. H. White, who had been sum-
moned.
Colborn was coming along Franklin st, and
was about to cross the tracks Of the Orange and
Passaic Valley Railway into Liberty-st-, when
an eastbound car, going at the rate of thirty
miles hour. struck the heavily loaded wagon
with such force as to cause the car to leap into
the air and hurting the wagon over on the
tracks. The entire front of the was demol-
ished, and it was with difficulty that the motor
man was extricated from his position. The
crash caused by the collision was heard several
blocks away. Chief of Police Collins and a force
of men arrived soon after and kept the crowds
back. A wrecking sent from Orange,
and it was nearly midnight before travel was
resumed.
When the crash occurred three men who were
the jumped into the road and disap-
peared into Liberty-st Many complaints have
been made of the high rate of speed by which
the cars are run on this line through Bloomfield
and the accident tonight it is believed. will
result in the company being compelled to run
at much slower speed at the point where the
accident occurred.
