How to Keep cider Sweet.

A correspondent of Farm and Fire
side says: "There is practically no
way of keeping cider from fermenting
unless something is done to sterilize
it. This sterilizing may be done by
raising the cider to temperature
of $50 degrees three times, allowing
it to cool between, and finally
bottling when hot. This is certainly
the best way of treating it if you do
not wish to use drug. In my own
experience I prefer to keep it sweet
by adding about one-half pound of
carbonate of soda to barrel, not
making it until late in the autumn,
when cold weather is assured, and
then keepi-~ it cold during the win
ter. If it is in a room the temper
AZURE of which is just below freez-
ing point it will not freeze, but will
be cold enough to prevent any very
active fermentation"

orchard of 60 trees that were ten
years old, and we never had secured
q plum from that orchard. Every
plum rotted last year, and this year
we sprayed three times with the Bor-

the trees that we did not spray the
plums all rotted, just the same as
they had before; in fact, we got SO

about eight or ten trees to expert

Apples and Soil Exhaustion.

Apple trees are not as hard on soils
as many have supposed. if we will
keep the soil in proper physical con-
dition. A bulletin issued by Cornell
university shows that in a single year
a crop of apples will remove for the
fruit from single acre, 10 pounds
of nitrogen, one pound of phosphoric
acid and 10 pounds of potash. The
leaves on the trees which produce
this crop of fruit will require 10
pounds of nitrogen, So pounds of
phosphoric acid and 1874 pounds of
potash. The tree growth will require
"a pounds of nitrogen, $50 pounds of
phosphoric acid and s.s pounds of
potash. This looks to be a severe
strain on the soil, yet believe that,
all things considered, apples are
about half as hard on soil as corn,
assuming that all of each crop is
permanently removed from the soil.
