In the press use hair-cloth or punny, in place of straw. As the cider runs from the press, let it pass through a hair sie\"e into a large open vessel, that will hold as much juice as caii be ex pressed in one day. In one day, or ROinetimes less, the pomace will rise to the top, and in a short time jrrow ▼ery thick. When little white bub bles break through it, draw off the liquid through a very small spigot, placed about three inches from the bot tom, so that the lees may be left be hind. The cider must be drawn off into very clean, sweet casks—prefera bly fresh liquor casks—and closely watched. The moment the whii« bubbles, before mentioned, are per ceived rising at the bunghole, rack it < •gain. It is usually necessary to re peat this three times. Then fill up the cask with cider in every respect like that originally contained in it, add a tumbl«r of warm sweet oil, and bilng up tight. For very tine cider it is customary to add at this stage of the process about half a pound of glucose (starch sugar) or a small por tion of white sugar. The cask should then be allowed to remain in a cool place until the eider has acquired the desired flavor. In the meantime clean barrels for its reception should be prepared, as follows : Some clean Strips of rags are dipped in melted sulphur, lighted, and burned in the bunghole, and the bung laid loosely on the end of the rag, so as to retain the sulphur vapor within the barrel Then tie up half a pound of mustard seed in a coarse muslin bag and put it in the barrel, fill the barrel with cider, and add about a quarter of a pound of isinglass or fine gelatine dissolved in hot water. This is the old-fashioned way, and will keep cider in the same condition as when it went Into the barrel, if kept in a cool place, for a year. Professional cider-makers are now using calcium sulphite (sulphite of lime,) instead of mustard and sulphur vapor. It is much more convenient and effectual. To use it, it is simply requisite to add one-eighth to one-quar ter of an ounce of the sulphite to each gallon of cider in the cask, first mixing the powder in about a quart of the cider and giving the latter a thorough shaking or rolling. After standing bunged several days, to allow the sulphite to exert its full action, it may be bottled off. The sulphite of lime (which should not l>c mistaken for the sulphate of lime) is a commer cial article, costing about forty cents a pound by the barrel. It will preserve the sweetness of the cider perfectly; but, unless care is taken not to add too much of it, it will impart a slight sulphurous taste on the cider. The bottles and corks used should IK- per fectly clean and the corks wired down. A little cinnamon, wintergreen, or sassafras, etc., is often added to sweet cider in the bottle, together with a dram or so of bicarbonate of soda, at the moment of driving the stopper. This helps to neutralize free acids and renders the liquid effervescent when unstopped; but, if used to excess, it 1 may prejudicially affect the taste. STORING POTATOES. In storing potatoes several methods | are adopted, yet they are all practi cally the same, the object being to protect them against freezing, whether ' buried in pits or stored iu cellars. The fifst consideration is to keep them in perfect darkness; the next is the bins fthould not be too deep—not over three feet—to produce warmth and cause them to sprout. When stored in the field, straight trenches are dug, say twenty feet in length and four or five wide, which are tilled to the depth of three feet with potatoes, then well covered with straw, on top of which pateighteen or twenty inches of earth. In a pit twenty feet long there should b4 about three gas escapes or venti lated openings, which should be plug ged with straw and covered with a board set at an angle to turn the rain. If in cellars, barn or otherwise, the bins should be covered with rugs, old carpeting or straw. Those intended to be kept for late spring sales should be frequently examined and all sprouts removed, for as soon as a potato begins tojjjront it loses its solidity, dryness aim Quality. KEEPING WINTER VKG ETA BLES. After the farmer hfw raised a good mpply of vegetables he often fails to re&ike the full benefit of his labor from a lack of knowledge how to keep them. This especially is the ease with squashes and that class of vegetables which require to be kept compara tively warm and dry. It is quite usual for him to put them in a pile in the cellar, and then wonder that they rot. Squashes, pumpkins, and all thut class of vegetables require, first, an absence of light; second, a dry temperature, not exceeding fifty-five or sixty degrees; and third, to be so placed that one does not come in coutact with another. We have always had success in keep ing them well into the spring, by placing them in a cool, dry chamber until freezing occurs, and then remov ing them to a closet for safe keeping over winter. Thus the Hubbard and other hard-shell varieties may be kept until May and even June. For use until February they will keep tolerably well in a dry cellar, placed 0:1 shelves. Boston morrow is the first to decay. The turban—to our mind one of the best of the winter varieties, especially for baking—will often keep in the cellar until March. Those only in tended for use later need to l>e treated to the dry, cool closet. It will pay, for at the latter part of winter and early spring there is a dearth of vege table food on the farm that makes such articles especially valuable. BUTTER COWS. There aro many farmers who have extra good butter cows and do not know it. They have poor pastures in summer, arid no shelter and indifferent feed in winter. In the house they have no conveniences for making but ter, tho milk is set where there are no arrangements for keeping it cool in summer, and in the living room ex posed to the odors of tho kitchen in winter, and neither the quantity nor the miality are any index of what a cow can do. —A wise man reflects before ho speaks ; a fool speaks, aud then reflects while his eye is getting well. —A man calls his wife "Poor Iiulo," because she won't work but one way, aud usually not that. SCRIPTURE VS. INGERSOLL]' A correspondent of the Chicago 1 Tribune contrasts the declaration* of Colonel Ingereoll, at the funeral of his brother, with the promises of Holy writ. He says: Col. Ingersoll's words j by his brother's grave were eloquent; . tiiev glowed with tenderness and love; | they undoubtedly contain all the hope j and" comfort that infidelity can bring ! to the mourning. '"For whether iu j midocean or among the breakers of the : farther shore, a wreck must mark at last the end of each and all, and every j life, no matter if its every hour is rich j with love, and every moment jeweled with a joy, must at its close become a tragedv as sad and deep and dark as can be woven of the warp and woof jof mystery and death." Compare these words of Col. Ingersoll above his brother's lifeless form with the words of inspiration: "For we know that, if our earthly house of this tab ernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." Again he (Ingersoll) says: Life is a narrow vale between the cold and barren peaks of two eternities. We strive in vain to look beyond the heights. We cry aloud, and the only answer is the echo of our wailing cry." Those words came from the Colonel's great tender heart, when it was overflowing with 1 grief at his brother's untimely death. Yet how drear and hopeless they seem when compared to the promise that is made to the trusting Christian : "The last enemy that shall Ik- de stroyed is death. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crving, neither shall there be any more pain, for the former things have passed away." A cavalry charge is sometimes only a slay-ride. The man with false whiskers is a bare-faced fraud. . Out in Bonanza*egions the mine's the measure of the man. The naked truth may be doubted when it is only a "bare assertion." When gamblers fail to agree, they pour Hoyle on the troubled waters. —When was beef the highest? When the cow jum)>ed over the moon. The violinist who "carried the house by storm" used a rain bow af terwards. A short horse is soon curried, but a mule, short or long, will kick you into the next township. The experiment has been tried often enough to prove that a button hook is not a night key. There was, no doubt, considerable mourning when the sunburst, but where did the daylight? —William Penn used to spell the name of his State Pennsilvania. Now, y was the i knocked out ?
