office Of public roads TO send man

found that there were large deposits

were made on the gypsum. showing
that it would make a good binder for

satisfactory that they have now fin

of $3,500 The 700 feet constructed

thoroughly mixed by plowing. disking

Vinegar Season Is Near.

Bulletin No. 25S of the New York
experiment station recommends the
following as one of the most satisfac-
tory methods Of making vinegar
When the cider is pressed from the
apples the barrels should be piled about
two-thlrds full and the bung replaced
by loose plug of cotton. which will
lessen evaporation and keep out bugs
and dirt. Where the quantity of vine
! gar to be made is considerable the bar
4 rels should be placed in a room where
/ the temperature can be kept from 70
/ to 30 degrees during the fall and early
winter months. If the batch is small
the barrels may be left out of doors
while the weather is warm and then
placed In the warmest room conven-
lent and later placed in dry cellar.
II the temperature Of the storeroom
does not fall below Al, degrees the con-
version of the sugar into alcohol will
require about six months, but the
process of fermentation may be hasten
ed by an addition of fresh commercial
yeast When the cider has quit work
ing the clear portion should be drawn
of. the barrel rinsed out and the liquid
replaced. with the addition of from
two to four quarts of good vinegar
containing some mother. The next |
process. the change of the alcohol into |
acetic acid, may be effected In three |
months and may require two years. |
In any event. it will take place most
rapidly in a temperature ranging from
65 to G6 degrees When the vinegar has
reached the proper strength. which
should be per cent of acetic acid. the
barrels should he filed full and tight
ly corked. This will prevent other
changes and will cause the vinegar to
keep its strength. II one has consid-
erablc vinegar to make II would be

and hired horses from farmers through
out the community who would rent
them. and, not being able to induce
anybody to repair the road for him,
the physician drove the team and rode
the drag himself. Occasionally a small
boy was taken along to stand on the
drag for ballast.
After fifteen hours of strenuous la

The physicians efforts worked such
