instinctively along the tiled door OF

The Apple Specialist, In answer to

in order to make cider the juice
must be extracted from the apples.
This is done by grinding the apples
into a pumice and thus pressing the
Juice out The pumice is laid up in
hoops and held In place by old sacking

The cider works out through the sack

for the work. and sweet cider may be

keep cider sweet without racking 1t off.

several times, letting II run through
several thlcknesses Of flannel to take
out the sediment 1t must be allowed to
run very slowly so as to keep all sedi-
ment in the bottom OF the barrel. When
thoroughly purified the barrel must be
plugged tight and kept In a cool place.
By boiling and sklmming the cider 1t
will keep sweet, but has slight cook
