If compressed yeast is used, about
one cake to five gallons of cider
should be used, after first dissolving
the yeast in lukewarm water. When
the alcoholic fermentation is COM
pleted, the clear portion of the liquid
should be drawn off, the barrel
rinsed out and thee lear liquid put
back. Two TO four quarts of good
vinegar containing more or less of
mother" should be added. Stored
in a cool cellar the barrel of liquid
will require 81 to "a months or more
toe hange the alcohol into acetic
acid, but if this barrel be moved in
to warm place, as out of doors dur
ing the summer, the acetic fermenta-
tion may be completed in 10 to is
months. If the alcoholic fermetation
is fastened by the addition of yeast
and storage in a warm temperature,
and the acetic fermentation favored
by the use of a vinegar "starter" as
noted above, it is possible to produce
good merchantable vinegar in 6 to
- months.

Apple Cider and Vinegar.

Apple time, and cider time! All
what memories the latter brings VI
of the full barrel, getting just little
snappy, in boyhood days when oul
internal capacity was without limit
says a writer in the Indiana Farmer
Then later comes the vinegar, in
which we were not sodeeply interest
ed The majority of the farmers use
only windfalls in making cider Or
cider vinegar. The best practice, how
ever, shows that it is advisable to use
only ripe, sound fruit. If the fruit Is
dirty, it may well be washed, other
wise there is danger of introducig
heterogeneous into the juice that
will interfere with the normal alco-
holic and acetic fermentation. For
the same reason cleanliness should
also be observed in grinding and
pressing the fruit, and in handling
the juice.
For profit, the pressing should be
done with a power press. With a
hand press only two gallons of juice
per bushel Of apes could be secured
at the Virginia experiment station
while with a power press four gal
Ions were obtained. When possible
the freshly pressed apple juice
should be placed in some large re-
ceptacle and allowed to stand for a
few days before siphoning into bar
rels. This allows the solid matter
held in suspension to settle before
barreling. When fresh cider is
placed in barrels the alcoholic fer
mentation is not completed until the
end of about six months. Where the
cellar temperature is GO or 20 de-
grees F., this time can be consider
ably reduced. If yeast is added to
the fresh cider, fermentation can be
completed in three months or less
