IL Is not enough TO simply grind the
apples into cider. then roll under the
shade OF a 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. II is
not best TO wash them before grind
ing. and no water should be used In
the cider.
II is we'll known that the changing

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 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 ef
fectually prevented from attacking the
herds and fiocks. and a supply of fod
der may always be obtained by burn
ing OF the spines from the tender
young shoots OF the cactus.
