Uncomfortable tiedqes.

The hedges which we ordinarily see
bordering country estates are planted
for their ornamental and beautifying
effect and not as a substitute for
fencing material, but in the extreme
southwestern part of the United States
there are many hedges which serve
primarily this latter purpose. Various
species of cacti, such as the Drickly
pear, are used by ranchmen to enclose
cattle ranges in those arid regions.
and these hedges are practically I'm
p~enetrable. Wild animals are thus ef-
f~ectually prevented from attacking the
herds and focks, and a supply OF fod-
der may always be obtained by burn
ing off the spines from the tender
young shoots of the cactus.

MAKE GOOD CIDER VINEGAR
Apples Should Be About Ripe, But Not
Mellow, and When Pressed Strained
Into Clean Barrels.
CBy H. F. GRINsTEAD. Missouri.)

CBy H. F. GRINSTEAD, Missouri)
1t is not enough to simply grind the
apples into cider, hen roll under the
patiently wait till the vinegar is made.
To make good vinegar the apples
should be about ripe, but not mellow,
and when ground and pressed the
cider should be strained into clean.
barrels.
While apples should be clean. it is
not best to wash them before grind
ing, and no water should be used in
the cider. .
1t is well known that the changing
from sweet cider to vinegar begins as
500 as the juice leaves the apple and
continues through the various stages
from six TO eighteen months, the time
depending on conditions and treat
ment.
II the cider is kept in a warm cellar
or other convenient place and a cake
of yeast dissolved in water is added
for every five gallons, 1t will hasten
the fermentation SO that 1t may be
completed within two or three
months.
Not until then should vinegar
mother" be added, but when it loses
the bitter taste and begins TO get sour
it should be racked off and the barrel
washed out, or it should be put into
a clean barrel and some old vinegar
and mother put liz.
The bung should be left out all OF
the time till the vinegar is made, and
a piece of cloth tackled over the hole
TO keep out the flies and dirt.
When conditions are ideal, the bar
rels left in a place where the tempera-
ture is nigh for the first three months.
