sstm, & ptasriwM. keeping cider sweet. Noticing recipe in the Prairie Farmer for laid week for keeping cider sweet by means of adding "grated horse-radish in the propor tion of a tumbler and a half to a hall barrel j of cider. " and fearing that many barrels of this delicious aud liealihful beverage might be injured thereby, I venture to caution all who love a mug of good cider—as who does not? —gainst its use. That there is a substance in horse-radish which arrests the fermentation of cider aud other substances liable to pass into the acetous fermentation, there is no doubt. And it is equally true that horse radish ordinarily im parts a most nauseous and disagreeable flavor to the cider which it preserves, making i t alike unpleasant to drink and useless for vinegar making. The flavor of the tender roots of horse-rad ish when dug in early spring and eaten on bam, is agreeable to the taste of most per ens. but cider flavored by the tough woody roots of bores-radish dug in the fall, is about Sis palatable as ice rream flavored with onions or rice pudding eaten with pepper sauce. I speak of things thereof I know when I con demn cider preserved in this manner. Few people relish tomato catsup on buckwheat cukes or mustard in coffee, but either is to be preferred to hores radish in cider. Again, horse radish is not reliable even for keeping the eider sweet, as the quantity of (he preservative principle is variable in different specimens of the root. Perhaps the substance for keeping cider sweet that can be readily procured in almost any locality, is mustard, added in about the proportion of a pound to a barrel. It the cider is not of good strength half a pound will do. muslin bag and drop it into the bung hole of tiie barrel. By this meaus the seeds are re tained in the barrel. Ground mustard will ■not answer the purpureas the oil, which is the preservative agent, is extracted before the seeds are ground. Another excellent substance designed to ■effect the same result is tfre bisulphite of lime, lhis aent works to suppress fermentation by means of the sulphurous acid of which the sulphite of lime is in part composed. When sulphur is burned in the air it unites with the oxygen and forms sulphurous acid; salts of this acid are cslled sulphites. But this acid has a disposition to nnite with another pro portion c-f oxygen and form sulphnric acid, the salts of which are called sulphates. Wei nee the like of this in the unions which other things besides sulphur form; for chemical •substances, like politicians seem to have a natural inclination to run info radicalism. So easily indeed, does sulphurous acid change to sulphuric and consequently the sulphite of lime to the sulphate, that it is necessary to keep this -?alt in a sealed bottle. This substance, which has lately come into general use, in the manufacture of sugar and sorghum molasses, acts to retard the souring process by seizing upon the oxygen of the air which is within the cask and which would otherwise change the sugar of the cider first to alcohol and finally to acetic acid. The same end may be attained in part by burning a stick or rag covered with melted sulphur in ii>e cask previous to filling it with cider. Independent of these methods, all of which •aim to abstract the oxygen— a substance the name ot which signifies acid former — the lia bility of all fruit juice* to pass into fermenta tion may be diminished by freeing them from the pulp cf the fruit from which they are ex pressed. This may be accomplished by taking care to properly clarify the juice by ! repeatedly straining in before it is barreled and racking it off by means of a syphon after the pomace or lees have settled to the bottom of the cask. It must also be borne in mind that the lower the temperature to which the cider is exposed, the less is the liability to sour. — It Yv. In Germantotcn Telegraph. CUTTING TIMBER. If oak, hickory, or chestnut be felled in August, in the second running of the sap, and barked, quite a large tree will season perfectly and cv-;i the twigs will remain sound for 1 years: whereas that cut in winter, and re maining until the next fall, (as thick as your wrist, will be completely sap-rotteu, and will be almbst nnfit for any purpose. The body of the oak split into rails will not last more thau ten or twelve years. Chestnut will last longer, bnt no comparison to that cut in Au gust. Hickory cut in August is not subject to je worm eaten, and will last a long time for fencing. When 1 began farming in 1802, it was the practice to cut timber for post fencing in the winter. Whiteoak posts and black oak rails, cut at that time, would not last more than 111 or 12 years. In 1808,1 began cutting fence timber in August. Many of the oak rails cut that year are yet sound, as well as most of the chestnut. If the bark is not taken off this month, it will of itself peel off the second or third year, and leave the tree perfectly sound. The tops of the trees are also more . aluable tor fuel, than when cut in winter or spring. I advise young farmers to try the experiment, and if post fences do not last twice as long, I forfeit all my experience as worthless.—[Cor. llural American. CLOVER AS MAN CUE. —In an article publis cd in the report of the Agricultural Depart ment. a Mr. \\ olfinger says, the cheapest, most easily attainable and best of all manures for a corn crop, is a dense mass of red clover, eituer in its green or ripened and dried state, p. owed down three or fore inches only: just deep enough to prevent wastage, and yet near enough to the surface of the ground to be ac ted on by the sun's heat and the air. In its decay, clover thus affords certain nourish ment to the young and expanding roots of the corn. Both corn and wheat grown over a clover iay are very generally free from disease and insects, and better in yield and 'quality than crops grown on or with animal manures. But to seenrethis, we must manure the clover while yet young, with liberal supplies of plas >er, lirue or fine well-rotted manure spread broadest over the growing plants.

Farmer, will plea* lb. great advantage in Thrashing Grain with GEISFIRS' PATENT SELF-RFGI'I \ TING GRAIN SEPAKATOIL CLEANER AND BAGGER ' With the latest Improved Tripple-Geared Jlorre Power, driven either by Gear or Belt. No. 1 is a eight-borse power, with cant iron thresher frame and wrought iron and wood ryli n der, sixteen inches in diameter and thirty-three inches long. Trunk has ten inch rake crank and seven rakes is thirty-five inches wide, and deliv er. the straw on the second rake, these carry the straw out on their tops, and deliver it on the .tack ~r, which will deliver about thirty five feet beyond the feeder, on a stack fifteen to eighteen feet high, and can be easily managed to rarrv the chaft with the straw, or deliver it in a sepa rate place. The trunk and fan sides being closed 10 confine the straw and chaff, remedies all diffi! culties m cleaning grain against windy wealth. It bags the grain by reasonable management. , u f! ficiently clean lor market, and it* eapacity, under ordinary circumstances, is from twentv to f or t T bushels per hour, using eight horses and the saoi, number of hands; but to force the work under favorable circumstance, it will thrcsb from f„rtv to fifty bushels per hour, and with more ease and agreeablenes# to hands than any other mac' j„' now in common use. The No. 2 is particularly adapted to the farmer', use: in intending to apply to any common lever or railway power; weighs 1,360 pound-; ha iron threshers frame, and cylinder, 124 inches in diameter and 28 inches long; delivers the chat grain in baes, or if desired, in a half burbe! It delivers 'he straw fifteen feet from the feeder or if desired, can deliver the straw and chaff togeth er; will thresh and clean, in good grain, readv for market, from 100 to 175 bushels of wheat, or from 300 to 500 bushels of oats per day, using four r. r six li irses, and the same number of hands; but to force the work, under most favorable circum stances, good grain, Ac., will thresh and clean considerable more. The Machine will thresh ami clean all kinds of grain generally threshed with the common machine, and requires no more hor-e power, but in many eases does not run hard. It will apply very well to a two-horse rail way power. Now here is what the Farmer and thre-herman wants, a Separator to go from farm so farm, to thrash gram, with more satisfaction than any other separator now in use, and why is it? Be cause this separator has a self regulating Bla-' which prevents grain from blowing into the chaff! and also has a self regulating feeder o feea me cleaner and it has rollers and combs the clean er which prevents it from choakin -. Why a„. , this machine run so light, and give so litue trou ble? Because there is less friction in the .Tonr. nals, and the rakes and fan arc geared so that you have no trouble with Belts breaking and slipping causing dust to fall into the wheat. Why does it clean against the wind? Because the blast has direct action on the grain and the cleaner is -,> well arranged that De wind has no chance to drive the dirt into the hopper. Why is it built permanently on two wheels and the front car riage separate, ready to attach when necessary ? Because it is more convenient in the barn without the front carriage. You can tnrn the machine or run it from place to place more easily. Why ba it not got Elevators like some other machine-? Because the Elevators carry the fifth back alter nately into the cleaner which must eventually go into the good wheat or in the chaff, and all know, that filth sbonld be kept separate for feed, Ac., we might as well keep shoveling the Tailings from under onrband fan into the hopper and ex pect to get the grain clean. Why is this separa tor more cleaner and satisfactory to work about than others? Because the Fan and Trunk Sides are closed up to prevent the wheat chaff and dust from coming out and scattering over the floor, causing waist and giving much trouble with dirt and sore eyes, Ac. Why do Threshermen get more work with these separators than they do with others? Because this separator has all these advantages and many more, which makes it a separator suitable and a paying one for all farmers and Thrashermen that have grain to thrash, whilst in most cases farmers must suit themselves to the machine, because the machine will not suit itself to the farmer. In short, this is the cheapest, must durable, reliably, ,impleand most agreeable to work about and the only separ ator that will clean and bag the grain sufficiently clean for market under all circumstances. Farmers can rest assured that this machine is no humbng, and judging from tho high recom mendation of farmers that are using them, we must come to the conclusion that it is the very Machine that farmers want and will have as soun as they have an opportunity to appreciate and attest its merits, for which we hope they will give us an opportunity, as we are willing to be respon sible if it does not perform as represented in this Circular.
