FREAS :—I am aware that many of the readers of your valuable paper, arc in the habit ol making their own cider. It is a very wholesome and refreshing bever age, and is always ol much value on the farm lor culinary purposes; but good cider is a rare article, indeed, in these days, (.lid W iiliarn J'enn, among many oilier testi monials nl his superior sagacity ant! wis dom, has !• ft the apothegm that ' cleanli ness is near of kin to godliness and in my opinion one great reason why so much • poor cider is made is. that cleanliness is altogether disregarded in the making of it. True, working purges off much of the im purity of ihe liquor, yet any one who ex amines ihe sedimentary matter in the bar rels I rout u iiich cider has been slowly rack ed or drawn oft, will need no argument to convince them fermentation does not wholly ptirily it. It is this sedimentary deposit winch causes the liquor to grow hard, and have that singularly disgusting and maw kish flavor which it so generally acquires alter it is one or two years, and sometimes evt n a few months old. In making cider, imperfect fruit should always he rejected as unsuitable. Water should he freely used in cleansing all the utensils previous to commencing, and ihe apples should be exposed for a dav or two to the sun before they are passed through the mill. The straw used, should be per- j fcetly bright, clean and free from mildew, rust or mould. Before tilling vour casks, put in a lew gallons of cider, and burn a ! clean rag that lias been dipped in melted i brimstone in the bunghole. The rag may j he one foot long, and an inch or an inch and ; a half wide. It ihe cask is larger than a common thirty gallon barrel, tiie quantity j of cider and size of the rag should be pro- j porlionaliv increased. When the rag is f consumed, shake tiie cask well, and fill it j up. The finer your strainers are. the less sediment there will be, and in this partic ular it is scarcely possible to exercise too much care. From the common crab apple, cider al most as delicious as the best wines may be made. Good rider will long continue to be a favorite beverage in titis country, and those who possess tite art of manufacturing it, will find that few products will be more certain to sell or bring a more remunera ting price in the market. But poor cider is not saleable, and will rarely repay the trouble and expense of making it. A BUCKS COUNTY FARMER. September 10, 1852. Waste of Weeds. There are a large number of our farmers who seem to have a strange veneration for i weeds. Even in the fields—in the cor ners of their fences—in the very heart of their meadows—the intruders are tolerated in their rank fertility as though they were sacred. We often see large meadows dot ted with such swamp islands, and the plow even, driven in towards the centre. The ' ground is thus cumbered and lost for all i useful purposes, when a few hours of la-I hor will change the whole aspect of the : field. Not only the farmers 'compromise' j with weeds upon these fields, but the roads j through their premises, are lined with the i same noxious burdens, annually spreading '; out their roots, and upon the winds scatter- j tng their unnumbered seeds to fall upon and take root in other sections. The very ! • ; IN'ew Scries—Vol. —No. .72. winds are thus full of foulness to the agri culturist. Our highways are sometimes hedged for miles with the oanada thistle, its downy produce floating unobstructed, and the slovenly farmer sleeps while his lands are being tilled with foul stuff". The good farmer will not pursue such a system of farming. Economy and good order cry against it. Whenever we pass a farm where an exterminating war lias been waged against weeds and bushes, we feel like stopping to thank him in person. We have purchased a small farm, and theie i hope to spend the greater portion of our time and labor ; and when once under way, ; ! if such mischievous customers crowd our furrows to deface our meadows, it will be because our right hand has lost its strength. We put it down as bad economy to invest motley in Weetls.-~C!flyt*ga Chi,J. ; i # 111 i a 'tr eott $ * Irta late religions excitement in Boston, a person met a christian neighbor, who took him by the band and besought him to go , to one of these meetings and become a \ christian. ' I have done so," said he, ' and have I got religion.' ' \ on are a christian, then, all at once ?' J said the other; ' you profess to act strictly Jon christian principles? I am glad of it. I 1 congratulate you. Suppose wc now have •a settlement of our little accounts between us. Pay me what thou owest.' • No, • said the new born child of grace, ! turning on his heel, ' religion is religion ; and business is business.' A country editor is 'giving boots' to a rival town, and among other saucy things, says that ' it takes several of their pigs to pull a blade of grass : and they are so poor - j that the foremost seizes the spear in j his mouth, the balance having taken each | other by the tail, when they all give a pull, f a strong pull, and a pull all together, and j ! if it breaks, the whole tumble to the ground t for want of sufficient strength to support _ them. It takes three or four to make a , shadow.' When a tailor retires from business and . goes to gardening, lie don't change Lis oc cupation as much a* some people imagine, . ; He merely raises 'cabbage' out of the ground [ | instead of out of his custpnters. Every body complains of bad memorv, ! but nobodoy of bad judgement, yet people are far more deficient in judgment than in i memory. ! A Frenchman got exceedingly angrv with a waiter at a hotel.
