THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA. CIDER VINEGAR-. . Success I)epnd Vtnn the tNM of Good Cider Mad from Klpt Applet, Suocpm In making good elder vine gar nVprnd unon rwlng that the utart tin point 1 ou a aolld foundation, I. e., tliat the JuIcb of tho applo has a prop er supply of augur, tlio huso of good vlnwar. For soma years 1 have Uut my fldr press to neighbor to niaku what tlwy call cldor, unilally aotidlujr a keg along, hoping to get enough cider to kp up a supply for the vrnejrnr barrel. When the kog nam la:k. In soino camw I found It flllod with JuIpo of gren, half rotten ap ples, with a specific gravity little If any aliove water, Indicating an almost entire absence of augar. Kuch stuff will never tikake even a weak vinegar, but rapidly poHS to the oromacuaols feruientutlon, a co-inploto deatructlon of the sugar with no tmoo of acetic acid, the base of vinegar; and this de t.rvotlou will soon take place with little or no formation of alcohol result ing, from the vlnuoua ferwontatiou of tho sugar, which does not exist In green, uiulpo and partly rotten apples, as are often lifted. There Im no trouble In securing good cider vluognr, If tho apples bave nufll cientty rlpenHl and remained sound and the starch lias paused to grain; sugar by the chemical action of tho acid (malic) of the fruit, which will pass from tho press dissolved In tho water. Such a Juice one of my neigh bors always returns me with tho press and It glvr me, besldvs the vinegar, a nice drink of apple Juice or cider, a tuot healthy drluk before the alco hol conies. Usually the pure Juice In dicates a sptvJflt! gravity (from tho sugar) of alxmt l.OliO, or tlve degrees of the ordinary Haume hydrometer, and when this to the ea, good cider vinegar will follow in due time. On several occasions, tho cider alluded to having a nice flavor of the apple with a specific gravity of 1,040, or six to seven Baume, 1 have added a pound of sugar to the gallon of cider, and the following summer bad a pleasant wine for the pudding sauce, and frequently my visiting friends have usked to what was the pleasant taste due. The ad dition of the sugar generatva enough aJrohol to prevent the acetous fermen tation; hence Instead of vinegar yon have apple wine, which Is very nice substitute for hoinethlng far more ex pensive, and often a mere mixture of alcohol and some artificial Uavor, Im ported as French and Spanish sherry. In conclusion I will say to tho rend er; To bo sure of having good vine gar, be certain you have a Juice with enough sugar tn it to form enough alcohol to be convertu"d Into acetic acid, and if there is enough of the lat ter, which la an antiseptic, the erema caurfis or rotting process will not take place, and your vlnegwr will keep rr years. Tho formation of alcohol will go on In a full barrel, but to secure the oxidation of the alcohol the barrel should not be more than three-quarters full, and kept In a moderately warm place, so the Alcoholic vajmr tills the barrel, and this vapor will first piua to aldehyde and then quickly to acetic neid, the base of good vinegar. This chemical change explains the cause of the sour ensilage I have never failed to find on top of the silo, which starts from the conversion of the car iKihydrates of tho corn llrst Into alco hol, then acetic acid, neither of which is a carbohydrate. A. 1. Sharp in Country Gentleman. Abandoned Land In tho South. There aro In Virginia, the Carolines, And some other Southern States, large areas of abandoned or partially-abau-di'iujil fa ruling hinds. In these dis tricts the plantations have been given over to scrub ouk, old-Held pine and brambles, because the former system of agriculture did not pay, or because a long-continued robbery of the soil resulted In such lmiKiveiixhment that cultivation at bust would not produce a livelihood for U!xr expended. Laud that has been Impoverished by tobacco one of tho mist exhaustive of crops or by cotton, as has been done in the South, may be restored by a changi of agriculture, and this restoration Is even now going on. Fruits and vege tables will be largely cultivated in the Southern States on account of the good markets for such products In the large Eastern cities. It will also Da found profitable to raiue rattle, grain, wool, and dairy products. The result of this changed system of agriculture will make the South even more pros perous tlwn It was In the palmiest days of plantation life. When all the desirable agricultural land of the West Is occupied -which Is but a question of a few years then these lands in the Southern States will roce'.ve attention, Our population is increasing rapidly, and th time will come when these faixns will have to bo subdivided. Tho average size of farms In this country is four times that of the farms of France, ajid lu Belgium, Holland, Gwmauy and Eng land they are still smaller. While to day in many sections farms of seven-ty-fivo and ltX acres will barely pay for cultivation, the time will conio when farms of one-third or one-fourth that size must pay. It is iweles to argue that it cannot be done; such farms aro cultivated lu a way to pay even to-day, and must "become even more generally profitable in the future. It would be well for the respective State Departments of Agriculture to establish experimental farms In these neglected sections. Such experiment farms should be conducted In a man ner to demonstrate to the unsuccess ful farmers of the State how they con take their worn-out farms and reno vate them; how they can carry on an industry that has hitherto appeared to l unprofitable tn a way to show a matlsfaetory balance sheet. Law Affecting Coin. An important decision in regard to selling cows under warranty was re cently given In the Bolton county court In England. Two dairymen, hav ing bought of a local farmer two cows, which failed to calve upon certain tlati. as guaranteed, sued the vendor for the keep of tho animals up to said dates. It was decided that, as It., plaintiffs did not take advantage of the law which would have authorized Ihem to return th animals as soon as they discovered the warranty to bo broken, or to offer them for sale In case the vendor reifused to take them fiack (according to the customary chat tel warranty practice), they could not itov recover.

Th World's Fastest Trotter Is Allx. The Record Now 2:03 3-4. Fifteen thosand people yelled them selves hoarse at Galesburg, III., on Wednesday afternoon when the great trotting queen, Alix, beat the world's record by coming under the wire in 3:oja. The day was an ideal one for such an event, and the track in good condition. It was $ o'clock when Alix passed in front of the grand stand for a little preliminary work. McDowell was her driver. The start was made in splended style. Alix coming as re gularly and steady as clockwork, with head down and her short, pointed ears twitching nerviously. When she approached the wire for the start she seemed to be going a little slow, but she soon increased her speed. She was working like a ma chine, and yet so easily and grace fully that one would hardly imagine that she was going at such a tremen dous clip. When the quarter was reached there was a general exclama tion t "Thirty and a half, she will beat it."' From that to the half she seemed to fly, making it in i:oiJ. The third quarter she increase her pace a tritle, making it in 1:3 a f. When she started up the home stretch she was moviug down without apparent effort. Thus far there had not been a false step, not a wabble of any kind. She seemed o lairly fly to get away from the horse that came thundering just behind. As she near ed the wire many that glanced at their watches said : " She will not make it." The last few rods she again seemed to increase her marvelous speed, and as she darted under the wire the shout went up from the thousands: "She's done it; she's done it." The cheering was prolonged and it was some time before Williams could quiet the crod so as to make himself heard. He then announced : " Vou have witnessed the fastest heat ever trotted by any trotter on the globe. The first quarter was made in 30 J, the half in i:ot J, the third quarter in 1:32! and the mile in 2:035." The crowd again cheered and tnousands rushed onto the trackas McDowell came driving Alix back, Williams introduced Mr. Jones, the owner of Alix, and the cheering again arose. The performance of Alix is the talk of all horsemen. Driver McDowell said : " It is a remarkable mile. She did not seem worried a bit by the eflort, but came out as fresh as she went in. Her action was perfect. The whole dis tance I never spoke to her nor raised the whip. It was not necessary." "When I reached the half mile pole I knew that she would break the re cord." " She was in the very pink of con dition and so eager to go that she needed no urging. I therefore let her gallop her fixed gait from the half mile in. At the upper turn at the end of the thi'd quarter I found the track a trifle spongy and I gave her second place ; when I reached the homestretch I gave her the pole again. I was confident she could beat the record, and I wanted her to for Williams' sake." The Judges gave the time out as 2:033, although one of the Judges caught it a shade less, and many in the audience had it 2:03!. Jones was nearly smothered in congratula tions. When he came h ere he predict ed that this was the fastest track in the world, and that Alix would beat the record. He said : " I was confi dent Alix would beat the record, I knew what she could do. I want to say that I sold part interest in her several years ago to Monroe Salisbury. This is not generally known. She came in my possession when a year ling. " I bought her at a jcombination sale at Chicago an J shipped her to my farmat David City Neb. She is now six years old. Her first race was at Beatrice, Neb., in June, 1890, then a two year old, I having trained her that spring. Last year she made a re cord of 2:07 J. The first trotting she did this year was in an exhibition at Council Bluffs, where she went a mile in 2: 1 1 J. Since then she has gone on steadily reducing her record. I shall not start her again. I am satisfied for the present. What I may do I cannot say yet, but it belongs to some one else to beat her record." THE VKRV FASTEST MILE. Tkrre Haute, Ind., Sept. 15. World's records went glimmering over the Terre Haute track, which to-day holds all but two the fastest three heats paced an I the fa.test a year old pacing records. There is hung up the fastest mile ever gone by a horse in harness.

Blood Soilled it Kentucky Over the Congressional Election, Lexington, Ky., Sept. 21, 1894. A bloody encounter occurred here this afternoon between Desha Breck inridge, son of Colonel W, C. P. Breckinridge, and J. Duane Living ston, a New Yorker, who is the Lexing ton financial agent of J. Kennedy Todd, the New York broker. Desha and Livingston were friends before the campaign, but Livingston has been a hard worker for Owens, and when he offered to shake hands with Desha in the lobby of the Phoenix Hotel this afternoon, young Breckin ridge began to abuse him in the bitter est manner. He finally called Living ston a liar, when the New Yorker struck him on the side of the face with his open hand, knocking off his spectacles. Just as he hit him a second blow that fell on his neck, Desha drew a large dagger and plung ed with it at Livingston's breast. Livingston threw up his right hand to ward off the blow from his breast, but the keen blade cut his third finger to the bone. He turned round to get away from the now thoroughly in furiated Breckinridge, and as he did so Desha kicked him several times. Friends rushed in at this juncture and took Desha away, while Livingston was taken to a doctor's office and had his wound dressed. He then went home. Desha went to his rooms, but was seen on the street about a half hour later. Matthew Lane, a young man from Mt. Sterling, Ky., who is a strong Breckinridge man, tried to help Desha in his fight and he is said to have also drawn a knife -for the purpose of carving up any anti-Breckinndge man. A few minutes before the cutting oc curred Lane and Desha met Judge George B. Kinkead on the street. Deshi said to him : " The election is over now, and I want to tell you that you are a liar." 'Kinkead replied that he did not want any difficulty on the street, and that he was unarmed. Breckinridge replied : " 1 hen go arm yourself and I will meet you at any time or place you may designate." Then Lane, who did not know Kin kead, began to abuse him and called him all sorts of bad names, saying that his sister had entertained Colonel Breckinridge and that he would not allow Judge Kinkead or anybody else to reflect on her character for doing so. A BLOODV NIGHT LOOKED FOR. It is generally believed by those who know the fighting stock of which Judge Kinkead comes that he will attempt to wipe out these insults by attacking both Breckinridge and Lane. These two affairs have caused the greatest excitement, and the Owens men make no bones of denouncing both the attack on Kinkead and that on Livingston as being in bad taste, and there is so much strong talk being indulged in by both sides, that a trage dy is likely to happen at any moment. The district Committee meet to-morrow at Frankfort to count the vote, and declare the nominee, and it is believed that the Breckinridge people will file some sort of evidence before the committee which may bring about a protest. They are keeping every thing quiet, and no one on the outside knows what they are doing. Home, Sweut Home. Hardly a face in the audience in a crowded concert hall was unmoved, and many persons were weeping. A great singer had just finished a won derfully touching and eloquent rend ering of ' Home, Sweet Home." ' It is a beautiful song," " said a young girl to an older woman who sat next to her, wiping the tears from her eyes as she spoke. Yes," was the reply, " and the sentiment to which it moves all these people is beautiful. How much hap pier the world would be if every one had as much princip'e as sentiment on the subject and followed out a plain, everyday rule, of making home sweet !" The girl turned thoughtfully away. She hardly heard the next song. She was acknowledging to herself that in spite of her love for her home she made it unhappy every day ol her life by her willfulness and quick temper. Exchange.
