CIDER FROM WINTER APPLES

Winter varieties of apples make
better cider than do summer varie-
ties, says the Bureau of Plant Indus
try, U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Apples that have been in storage will
make good cider, provided they are
not overripe. If the apple juice is
properly pasteurized and sealed, it
is unnecessary to add a preserva-
tive, says the bureau which recently
developed a method that saves time
and labor in cider making. The juice
is pressed, allowed to stand for IL
hours or overnight, decanted from
the sediment, and blended if neces-
sary. 1t is then raised to a tenn
perature of 130 to 140 degrees F. and
mixed with diatOmaceous earth (also
called kieselguhr and dfatomite) at
the rate of 6 to pounds per hun
dred gallons, thoroughly stirred, and
Immediately filtered through thin
layer of the earth supported by
closely woven cloth. The clear juice
is placed in the containers as it
comes from the filter, sealed, and
