APPLE SYRUP OR CONCENTRATED CIDER

Nv. S. S.
APPLE SYRUP OR CONCENTRATED CIDER
Boiled down cider gives product
with decided acid flavor; to re-
move this, it is necessary to add
carbonate or milk of lime to the
cider.
Method of making Apple Syrup.
TO make one gallon of syrup, it is
necessary to have seven gallons of
apple cider. Stir ito this five
ounces of powdered calcium carbon
ate Carbonate of lime) obtainable
at drug stores in the form of precip-
itated chalk or powdered marble
dust. Heat the cider and allow to
boil for few minutes. AS the cider
will foam slightly, it is necessary to
use vessel at least one third larger
than the volume of cider. Pour
the cider. after boiling, into glass
vessels. preferably half gallon fruit
jars. which permit the condition of
the liquid to be observed. Allow
the liquid to set until perfectly clear.
This will take several hours. When
the liquid is perfectly clear and
shows a distinct sediment at the
bottom, gently pour off the clear
portion into a preserving kettle,
filling the kettle only one-thiTd full
to allow boiling. Add to the clear
liquid a, level teaspoonful of the
carbonate of lime, stirring thorough
ly. Allow the liquid TO boil rapidly
! until it is reduced to one gallon, or
one-seventh of the original volume.
Test the liquid by cooling a small
portion rapidly and cease cooking
when it has reached the consistency
of maple syrup. The aim is to
, have thin syrup rather than one
, that will candy.
Pour into sterilized bottles or jars
set the vessels into buckets or tubs
of hot water, to allow the syrup tc

DON'T Be A STACKER

Citizens Of Jackson County,

their money and time and the most
sacrificing buyers are the best work
ers.
You will be ashamed the longest
day you live if you not both buy
and work to your ability.
Any personal sacrifice you, may
make will be more than repaid in
satisfaction to your conscience as
long as you exist.
Don't wait for solicitor to come
to see you,- as they have their hands
full, but hunt them up or send your
subscription to your bank. -'
1t is small souled lnan who re-
fuses to buy just because he has
not got the money in hand. If you
can raise the first payment, your
bank will help you take care of
your other payments, if you should
fail to raise the payments just when
due.
If you have the desire to buy,
there is a way and ninety per cent
of the excuses that are made are
not believed, as your neighbor knows
you and your ability.
Our people appear to be patriotic
ut it takes sacrifices and deeds to,
Drove it. Make this a persona
