MAKING GOOD CIDER VINEGAR
Process Is Simple and Involves Very
Little Work-CleanIlness Is First
important Factor.
(By 8. M. MILLER

(By 8. M. MILLER)
| There are many apple orchards, es-
pecially those that have never been
| sprayed or cultivated, in which large
! quantities of apples are allowed to go
to waste every year.
Such fruit makes a good grade OF
cider vinegar and a handsome profit
can be made In utilizing 1t In this way,
Even II one sprays and cultivates tho
orchard regularly each season and
does everything possible to prevent
having anything but marketable fruit
there will always be good many
culls.
However. do not allow these unmer-
charitable apples to go to waste. Make
cider vinegar from them and get
good price for the product right here
at home.
Making cider vinegar Is very simple.
There Is practically no labor attached
to It other than extracting the Juice
from the apples.
Perfect cleanliness first, last and all
the time Is matter OF vital impor-
lance. Apples that are picked up from
the ground are usually dirty and
should be thoroughly washed before
being placed In the cider mill.
The mill and all utensils used in the
making must be kept we'll cleaned If
good product Is to be made. To use
unclean fruit or unclean vessels sim
ply invites bad fermentation.

ed for home use 1t Is not a difficult |
natter to secure II In this way.
Tho best receptacles in which to
put the cider are molasses kegs or
barrels, preferably those which have
held vinegar previously, since fermen-
lation commences sooner when the fer
menting organism Is present than
when 1t must find its way into the
liquid from outside mediums.
TO made a good grade of vinegar
.wo factors are essential during the
process Of fermentation. First, the
lir must have free access to the liquid
q support the organism. Second, the
temperature must be favorable for the
rowth of the fermenting agent.
The barrels or kegs should be placed
n room where the temperature will

James M. Munyon. He made the follow

Many persons who come and write to

The victim Of this disease is apt to

the physicians he consults, for there is
no absolute diagnosis that will tell posi-
uvely that one Is not victim Of tape

trouble Is an abnormal appetite. At

GROWTH OF COMMERCE.

The great manufacturing nations,
tho great producing nations, such az
Great Britain. Germany. France and
the United States combined, have not
more than one-sixth the population OF
the globe. and It can be said with ap-
proximate accuracy that the other five
sixths are to y very great degree

Enquirer Fully one-half of the worlds

supplied with articles necessary for
civilized existence. The 10000, 900 OF

ing from their lands, their forests and
their mines, will make our manufac.
turers wealthy through their demands
for what our own industrial districts
can output. Commerce is pushing its
way up every great and small river OF
South America, 1t is crossing the
Andes over thousand trails, and
where but one railway across South
America from ocean to ocean now
runs. within score of years there
will be several other lines from the
Pacific to the navigable waters OF the

1t is good practice to graft plums
on peach stock.
A spraying of the currant and other
small fruit bushes will help.
Fruit should never be offered for
sale that is exposed to flies.
An orchard neglected for one year

Do not be stingy Of water for the
plants. Soak them plenty once or
twice a week, and don't dribble once

1t is a great mistake to pick out the
poorest soil on the place on which to
plant the orchard. The best is none

ashamed then he should throw away
his stencil and conceal all evidence
of his ownership.
The flowers will require close atten
ton now to keep them tidy. Pick off
all the seed pods and dead leaves and
keep after the weeds.
Lemon and orange growers have
learned that 1t is best to wash and
wipe them before packing to prevent
the spread of rot fungi.
The reason fruit trees planted IN
fence corners and out OF the way
places do not thrive generally NAV
be found in the fact that they are net
cultivated.

Sometimes 1t is men who murmur be-

most OF the criticisms Of women's pub

his nickel before she has picked up
the last bit Of change: the woman
who never moves along In car to
make room for another woman; the
woman who deliberately takes up
as much time as possible at the store
counter while other customers are
waiting--these women commonly look
like persons Of refinement. No doubt
they are kind-hearted and gentleman
nered In their own homes and in their
own circles.

Star ball players are certainly y
mighty risky commodity.

kinds Of fabulous offers for his serv-
ices, and the following year proves
big failure.
While every club owner Is In the
baseball business to get the money.
still it's the one ambition Of every
owner and manager to win pennants,
otherwise there would be much more
trading and selling of players among
the various clubs Of the majors and
minors. Civic pride often Keeps an
owner from selling one of his sts;s for
big sum.
Four years ago George Stone of the
st. Louis club led the American
league in batting. Stone aud his big
stick was feared by every pitcher
in the Johnsonian circuit Every
club owner would have been delighted
to buy Stone at most airy cid price,
while the st. Louis fans SIMPLY idol.

offers were made Owner Hedges, but

have brought down something like
$4,000.
A few years ago Manager McGraw.
of the New York Giants offered the
st. Louis Nationals $4,000 for Pitch
er Karger and was willing to throw
in a couple Of young pitchers to boot.
Owner Robinson of the Cardinals
wanted to give the fans winner and
turned down the offer without even
hesitating. Karger failed to show the
next year, was traded to Cincinnati
and then turned loose to a minor
league club. He is now with the
Boston Americans, but is nothing like
the pitcher he was few years ago.
Not SO many years ago Elmer
Flick, Jack Powell, Lou Criger, Terry
Turner, Herman Schaefer, Lee Tame

1ost of other stars would have
brought fancy prices were they placed
on the auction block of baseball.
