MAKING CIDER.

From the Lewes Pilot.
Notwithstanding the fact that the

has been deprived by an act of the
legislature passed at the last session
which places a ban on the shipment Of

at this time not TO be deprived entirely
OF some stimulant and hundreds Of
people are now engaged in making
cider and different kinds OF wines.
The grape crop in Sussex County
this year, being almost a total failure,
has caused many of the tOpers to turn
their attention to cider making. They
have discovered a process whereby
they are able to stop fermentation af-
ter It reaches a certain stage and by
this means they are able TO have their

Poison ivy will not be killed by a
single cutting, as new shoots or suck
ers are persistently sent up from the
rootstocks. The rootstocks must be
exhausted by destroying the foliage as
fast as it appears. either by repeated
moving or spraying with strong
salt brine made at the rate OF three
pounds OF common salt to gallon of
water. If the weed is cut or sprayed
lin June and the treatment repeated
labout three times at intervals of 10
days or 2 weeks, the rootstocks will
become exhausted and die. Arsenic
of soda "a violent poison), Ia pound
per gallon of water, or crude oil may
be substituted for the salt spray.
Spraying does not affect the roots
directly, but is simply equivalent to
cutting. However. there is the ad-
vantage that no one need come into
actual contact with the plant.
