How to Wake Good Cider.
There is hardly a tithe of cider made now
as compared with forty years ago. Many of
the old orchards have died out, and the tem
perance reform lias prevented their renewal.—
The market for fine fruit litis greatly expanded
and nearly all the trees now planted are for
the production of market apples, it took
eight bushels of apples to make a barrel ot
cider, and the barrel sold fur only a dollar.—
Apples now bring every year from fifty cents
to a dollar a bushel. Fruit growers can hard
ly be expected to lament the change that is
HO much for their pecuniary interest.
Yet cider is still made all over the country
in small quantities, some for the apple butter,
some for vinegar, and still more for a beverage
When bottled and properly handled, it is as
palatable, and mm It more wholesome, than
most of the wines of commerce. In affections
of the kidneys, it is an excellent remedy, and
should have a place in every will appointed
cellar. It is a matter of some importance,
that what cider is made, should be made in the
I est manner.
The apples should be well ripened, but not
in the least decayed. Every apple with the
least speck of rot in it should be removed, if
you wish it first rate beverage. The decayed
and inferior apples may be reserved for making
vinegar. Perfect cleanliness should lie observ
ed in the grinding process which should be per
formed two days before pressing, and Ihe pom
are bj pennitti d to stand and mellow in the
vat, until it assumes a deep red color. Ch an
dry straw should lie used in forming the cheese.
If the straw be musty, tin; flavor will lie com
municated to the juice. Jf water Do added, it
will make it hard and unpleasant to the taste.
The Casks, also, in winch it is put for fermen
tation, should be thoroughly cleansed, tiinl fin
ished off with a fumigation of brimstone. Tn s
is done by burning a few strips of canvass
inside the barrel, dipped in melted brimstone.
The fumes will penetrate all the pores and
destroy the must and correct the sourness
After the fermentation is over, draw off into
clean barrels, and clarify it. This can tie done
by mixing a quart of clean white sand with the
whites of a half a dozen eggs, and a pint of
inustaru seed, and pouring it into the barrel
It may stand in the barrel, or, if a nice article
is wanted, it should be put into some quart
bottles and corked.
This cider will be fit to drink in esse of
sieknees, and will always bear a good price in
market. It retails it twenty five cents a bot
tle, and would bring at least two dollars a
dozen by the quantity This is much better
business than to make a poor article from
decayed apples, in a slovenly manner, and seil
it for two dollars a barrel. —[ Correspondence

Sow RYE EARLY. —Of all the crops raised
in this northern climate, rye is perhaps the
most surest ; but even rye, sure us it is may
fail, and that too, in a good season like tin
present. A neighbor of mine sowed part of a
field with rye on the 25ili of August, 1857.
and the balance of the same field the l ist, of
October, land and seed both alike. The result
was, a good crop on the portion fir.-t sown,
estimated at 20 to 26 bushels per acre, while
tiiut sown late was not harvested for the rea- !
son that there was nothing to harvest I have j
known similar instances almost every year, ami
yet there are those who continue to throw
away their seed, lose their labor and the use
of their land, bceause they hare known a good
crop raised on new cleared land, sown so late
that it did not come up till Spring. Carres
fondence American Agriculturist.
THE GRAIN DRILL. —This implement lias
become of such general use as to be considered
almost indispensable to the farmers. Its prin
ciple advantages are the regularity with which
it distributes, and the uniform depth at which
it deposites the seed. When a field is sown
broadcast by hand and afterwards " harrowed
in," some portions of it may be buried from
eight to ten inches while others are not cov
ered at all, and are of course wasted. This is
obviated by the use of the drill. There is
however, room for improvement in the I)ri!!
as commonly constructed. The spouts which
conduct the seed to the ground are generally
arranged at a distance of from five to six inch
es apart, and the grain is tnus deposited in
rows, instead of being spread over the whole
surface of the ground. If double the number
of spouts, of smaller size, were used, it would
certainly be an improvement. It may not be
generally known that in England, where drill
culture originated and is now most practised,
it is not unusual to hoc wheat. Wiiere this
course is pursued, the space between the rows
is not objectionable, but we may never jverfiaps
s?e the day when it will pay to hoc wheat iu the
United States.
In selecting seed corn, ears should be prefer
red which ripen earliest, and grow upon the
most prolific stalks. It is bu'. little trouble for
the farmer the pass through his corn field just
before " busking time " and select what he
may need for next spring's planting. By pur
suing this course for several years, it will be
found that the amount of the crop is consider
ably increased and the period of ripening ac
celerated.
IIOGS should lie put up for fattening asearlv
as jwssible, as they gain inorc from the same
amount of food in warm, or moderate, than in
cold weather. The yards and pens should be
liberally supplied with litter, weeds pulled up
before the seeds are ripe, and other matter
which may be worked up into manure. It will
help to pay the expense of making pork.
IF farmers would sow their wheat earlier
than is generally done,and upon deeply plowed,
finely pulverized and well manured ground,
there would be less complaint of winter-killing
aud of the ravages of the field weevil or midge.
So.vr Suns FOR CURRAXT RUSHES.— A corres
pondent of the Indiana Farmer says : " 1
have found the cultivation of Currants to be j
very profitable. By care I greatly increased I
tbo size of the bushes, and the quantity and
quality of the Iruit. My bushes are now about
eight feet in height, and are remarkably
thrifty. The cause of this large growth 1 at
tribute to the fact that I have been in the
habit of pouring soap suds and chamber lie
around their roots during the summer season
1 am satisfied from my own exprieiice mid tlia'
of some of my neighbors, that this treatment
will produce the most astonishing effect on the
growth and product of the bushes."

the virtue of adversity is fortnudj.
