1t is not enough to simply grind the
apples into cider, then roll under tho
shade of tree or into the cellar and
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, 1t Is
not best to wash them before grind
ing, and no water should be used iii

It is we'll known that the changing
from sweet cider to vinegar begins as
soon as the juice leaves the apple and
continues through the various stages
from six to eighteen months, the time

Uncomfortable HEDGES,

The hedges which We ordinarily see
bordering country estates are planted
for their ornamental and beautifytng
effect and not as a substitute for
fencing material, but In the extreme

there are many hedges which serve
primarily this latter purpose. Various
species of cacti, such as the prickly
pear, are used by ranchmen to enclose
cattle ranges in those arid regions,
and these hedges are practically i'm
penetrable. Wild animals are thus eff
fectually prevented from attacking the
herds and flocks, and supply of fod-
der may always be obtained by burn
ing off the spines from the tender
young shoots of the cactus.

The iron ore properties of the Great
Northern railroad in 1906 were trans
ferred to Louis w. Hill, James ]. Hill
and Walter j. Hill, as trustees, the
100000 shares of beneficial interest
in the trust, equal to the number of
the shares of stock held, being issued
Dec. 2, 1906, to Great Northern stock
holders.
Confirmation of the rumor that the
Steel corporation would cancel its
lease on the Hill ore holdings led close
students of the situation to refer to
the report of Herbert Knox Smith on
the United States Steel corporation as
a possible reason for the decision on
the part of the corporation.
Paragraph Pointed Out.
The following paragraph was espe-
cially pointed to as substantiating this
theory:
Hence, not only on account of it's
count of these peculiar advantages
enjoyed in transportation of ore, the
Steel corporation occupies an eX-
tremely commanding position in iron
and steel industries. Indeed, insofar
as the Steel corporations position in
the entire iron and steel industry is of
a monopolistic character, it is chiefly
through it's control of ore holdings and
transportation of ore"
For some time those who are best
informed regarding the makeup of the
United States Steel corporation have
regarded it's ownership Of ore-carry-
ing railroads and rates charged to in
dependents for transportation of their
ore from upper lake ports as the most
vulnerable feature of it's position. In
fact, it has been pretty well under
stood that if the government suit is
brought against the Steel corporation.
this situation could form the chief
basis for it.
Profit Is Enormous.
With the ownership of these rail-
roads, the Steel corporation is able to
transport it's ores at small relative
expense On the other hand, it
charges independents an 80-cent rate
for hauling their ores, whereas the
actual cost to the Steel corporation
for this haul is only about 20 cents
ton.

WALL STREET,
REGARDING MINNESOTA LANDS
Herbert Knox Smiths Stand Held as
Cause-Commandi Position
Might Be Basis for Federal
Suit.

New York, Oct. 19.-In view of the
attitude taken by Commissioner Of
Corporations Herbert Knox Smith to-
wards railroads and ore holding of
the United States Steel corporation.
the corporation has decided to can
eel it's leases of the Great Northern
ore properties.
When the lease will be terminated,
however, is undetermined, inasmuch
as the Hill ore contract stipulates that
the lease will continue until the ore is
exhausted, unless on Jan. /, 1915, the
lease is terminated under an option
reserved to the lessee"
Wall street was unable to figure out
how the abrogation Of the contract
could be effected except by mutual
consent. Officials of the Steel cor
poratiOn refused to state the reason
for the decision to cancel the big
lease, and this phase is matter of
conjecture
Could Lease Lands Again.
1t was suggested that in the event
of the cancellation of the lease, the
ore lands Of the Great Northern could
be leased again, as a whole or in par
cells, to other consumers of iron ore.
The effect of such a change on the
tonnage of ore transported to the up
per lake ports by the Great Northern,
it is said, is problematical It would
doubtless be influenced somewhat by
the terms of Whatever new leases
might be made.
II the land, Or a considerable por-
ton Of it, were leased to producers of
iron not SO we'll provided with other
sources of ore as the Steel corpora
ton, the result might be that this ore
would be taken out more rapidly than
has been the case so far under the
present lease to the Steel corporation.
In that event, the Great Northern
railway would benefit by the increased
tonnage.
1t has been suggested that the trus-
tees of the Great Northern ore lands
might engage in mining ore on be-
half of the certificate holders and sell
the ore instead of leasing the lands.
It is doubted that the Great Northern
would reacquire any interests in the
ore lands or that the title to them
now in trust would in any way be dis
turbed.

Include Vast Amount Of Ore.

The Great Northern ore properties
are estimated to include deposits of
500, 100000 tons of iron ore. No fig
ures are available as to how much
ore has been mined since the open
ing of the Great Northern properties
The lease provides that the corpora
ton mine 100000 tons more each sue
cessive year, and the specified amount
of ore must be paid for whether it is
mined or not.
Under this provision the corpora
ton would be required to mine $780,
900 tons during the present year, or
