MAKING GOOD CIDER VINEGAR
Process Is Simple and Involves Very
Little Work—Cleanliness Is First
Important Factor.
(By 8. M. MILLER)
There are many apple orchards, es
pecially those that have never been
sprayed or cultivated, in which large
quantities of apples are allowed to go
to waste every year,
Such fruit makes a good grade of
cider vinegar, and a handsome profit
can be made in utilizing it in this way
orchard regularly each and
does everything possible to prevent
having anything but marketable fruit
there will always be a good many
culls
However, do not allow these unmer-
chantable apples to go to waste, Make
cider vinegar from them and get a
good price for the product right here
at home
Making cider vinegar is very simple
There is practically no labor attached
tn it other than extracting the juice
from the apples
Perfect cleanliness first, last and all
the time is a matter of vital impor
tance. Apples that are picked up from
the ground are usually dirty and
should be thoroughly washed before
being placed in the cider mill
The mill and all utensils used in the
making must be kept well cleaned {f

If all sorts of germs which are found
on dirty and decayed fruit are put in

The best which
put the clder are molasses kegs or
barrels, preferably which have
held vinegar previously, since fermen
tation commences sooner when the fer

when it must find its way into the
liquid from outside mediums
To made a good grade of vinegar
two factors are essential during
process of fermentation First,
air must have free access to the liquid
to support the organism
temperature must be favorable for the
growth of the fermenting agent
