-STATE NEWS. BEFLEX OF THE INDIANA TRESS. ' ALLEt COCTTY. .The death of the Hon. Eel Edgsrton at advanced age of 57 is a notable event In Ft Wayne, He was the father of tho Iloti. A P. Edgerton'and a prominent public man for years. Mr. Edscrton was born at Franklin vw Tnrton ronntv. Connecticut. He

was the third son of Col. Eliaha Edgerton, and of the fifth generation In direct lineal descent from Richard Edsrerton, one ol the thirty-five original proprietors of the town of Norwich, Connecticut, which was settled in the j ear 16G0. Through a female descendant Mrv Edgerton was also ef the blood -of William Hyde, another of the proprietors nd settlers of Norvkb. To the genealogy of the family and descendants of Y illiain Hyde, the late Chancellsr . Walworth, of New York, devoted tho later years of his life in the production ot two large volumes, wbn are a valuable contxibution to Ameri can biography. CASS COCXTT. Dooiittle, the original cause of the murder by abortion of a young girl, has not been arrested. Tho Star makes a serious arraignment of the police of Logansport for inefficiency. Tbey had abundant opportunity to take Dooiittle before he scampered, bat ' pressing business," as alleged, prevented them from attending to It. CLAUK COCXTT. A fatal shooting accident is reported from llenryville. One Hughes, in handling a revolver, discharged it, and shot Mr. Frank Dietz, inflicting a fatal wound. Says the News A gentleman from llenryville brings a very important piece of information in reference to tho Gardner muxder, which is undoubtedly very strong against Alex. Lewis. Within a short time a breastpin was found in the cow-gap where poor Gardner wa tied. The matter was kept secret, and Jonathan Smith was called in and examined closely about the matter. He stated in his examination that when Lewis had the difficulty mentioned, his breastpin was broken. Smith was asked to describe it. He did. He said it was a miniature hand with a part of it broken on; and gave other particulars. The breastpin was produced, and Smith identified it as the identical breastpin worn by Lewis the Saturday afternoon before Gardner was tied to the track. ELKHART COCSTY. The Goshen jail-birds are very particular about the rules of behavior at table, as may be inferred from the following account of a little discussion given by the Democrat : On Friday night a bloody fight occurred in our jail between John Kane, a man fifty years of age, and weighing 225 pounds, and Mr. George Wilson, a young man of about 23. While partaking of their evening - meal, Wilson took up a piece ot meat and commenced dividing it with his fingers. This was a pieea of etiquette that did not come up with Mr. Kane's ideas, and he struck Wilson a severe blow over the mouth. Then a regular .pitched battle ensued, in which both parties were severely pumuaeled and scratched. Finally Mr. Kane's pants slipped down, and his legs getting entangled, be tell heavily to the floor, his head striking some sharp substance, inflict, ing a severe gash. His opponent now had the inside track, and after exerciilng a few minutes with his fists and heels the battle was ended. The men are both rather dangerous characters, and Deputy Sheriff Miles thought he would let tbem tight it out, as he did not feel like interfering, after having been himself attacked only a short time ago by Wilson and another prisoner and severely handled, and only by a mere accident escaping with his life. Kane served lour years in the State prison at Michigan City for beating the sheriff at Laporte. On Sunday a heart-rending accident occurred at I.icke, Ind. A little daughter of Absalom Rickart was put to sleep on a bed, and the parents went to call upon a neighbor. The child awoke, and reaching several matches on the stand, set the bed on lire. When the parents returned the bed was in flames, and the child found burned to a crisp in the kitchen, whither she had crawled in search of her mother. The house was saved. The Review tells of a pretty lively game played by three little girls, from eight to eleven years old, who dressed in boys' clothes, went begging food, and finally, by changing garments, created a great excitement in the neighborhood by the search for the boys. Tho girls were iinally made to reveal the whole deception. HENRY COUNTY. A special to the Cincinnati Gazetfe, Utb, says: An old and respected citizen by the name of D. Templeton, while laboring under a fit f insanity, committed suicide by shooting himself through the head with a rllle, and died instantly. . ; HOWARD COUNTY. There is an "infelicity" in the domesticity of the Rev. V. M. Beemer, a presiding elder living at Kokomo. The "statements" will be made in court on an examination for a divorce, and then well we shall see what we shall see. - . Some vicious person girdled a dozen fruit and evergreen trees in the grounds of Robert Coate in Kokomo. Mr. Coate is an inoffensive Quaker, and the marvel is that any person should have a disposition to injure him by so infamous an act. HAMILTON COUNTY. The Tipton Times contains a long and appreciative obituary of Michael Shiel of Shielville, who died August SO, at the age of 81 years. The Times savs: Mr. Shiel possessed all that hospitality of nature which is characteristic of the Irish race. The weary traveler never asked in vain for rest and shelter at his home. His sympathies were always with the poor and unfortunate. He was impulsive and generous to a fault. His physical and moral courage led him while a resident, of Ireland to take a conspic uous part in opposition to the despotism of the English government, while his clear judgment ultimately induced him, with a family of seven young children, to brave the terrors of the ocean, for 34 years ago the Atlantic voyage made in a slow sailing ship was not the holiday pastime that it is in these days ot Cunard steamers, and to encounter the hardships of a frontier life, far the purpose of securing a home where political and religious freedom should be his lot, and the heritage ol his children. JEFFXUSON COUNTY. The Madison Courier has the followin A sad tragic story comes to us from North Vernon. A gentleman living near that place named Wilkinson is very wealthy and the father of three son?, who have never dwelt together in unity and peace. About a week ago one of the sons abstracted from his father's sale ?2S.0OO in bonds and fled. On Monday it was learned that the thief was in Kansas, and one ot his brothers telegraphed lo tflat State . ordering his arrest. The officers made the arrest and were preparing to bring the young man home, when he placed a revolver to his head and blew his brains . out, dying instantly. At

North Vernon, Wednesday night, the two remaining brothers became involved in a quarrel over the circumstances leading to the death of .their brother. The origin of the quarrel was caused by one of the boys charging the other with doing a great wrong by sending the telegram ordering the arrest Of his brother, statir,g that had it not been for that his brother might have been alive

ana well, tne Donos recovered, anatnewnoie affair amicably settled. The other brother took great offense at the upralding, and seized an ax-bandle knocked his brother down and beat him most unmercifully, inflicting it is thought, fetal injuries. The same night tbe remalnsof the suicide brother was broaght home. The affair has caused much excitement in tbe neighborhood of UNorth Vernon. lApoktk county. The suicide of A.L. Allen at the age of seventy-six years, in Michigan City, bad sonw peculiarly sad features. He had been in good circumstances, but had been swindled out of his money. For the past month or more be had been taken in and generoasly cared for, without charge, by Samuel Jennett and wile. Latterly he became low spirited, said he was tired of liviug, and wis neu ne was aeaa. .iast lunsuay uiteinoon be went into Dalson's eating house, mi atai hairtv dinner, riven him bv tbe proprietor, but seemed very much de pressed, crying while and after eating, lie remained an nour or more, uunug meu he told Dalioa nis gneis; mat n, was useless to live, and that he had eaten bis -last m6al. He exhibited a list ur clothing and a watch, valued at SG9 75, which he directed -to do given to zlt. ana Mrs. Jennett after his death, as a token ol irratitude for their kindness. The same day he borrowed a gun of Mr. 'Van Deusen, a wAfiV Vtafnrf want & TV U1VU UU AJOVS ft " O v- " "w - "T I ' ' short distance back of the city.UUMding, and . . . . . . , r l placing me nreecn against a wooy yno suu muzzle to his breast, he pulled the trigger with a forked stick, and instantly usher! himself into eternity. A paper containing- a large dose of arsenic, purchased at Crane's, was found cn his person; also, a letter of thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Jennett and Charles 1 la wley, for hospitalities, and to Mr. Van Deusen for the use ol his gun. pike county. On last Friday night, as Mr. Adam Daum was driving home from Evansville, on the New burg road, he was stopped about two miles from the city by two highwaymen and robbed of $118. Two boys, named Keith and Decker, were drowned in White river, just below High bansk, last Sabbath evening. PULASKI COUNTY. Listen to this. The Winamae Democrat says: There are at least 50,000 acres ot good wild land in Jefferson, Rich Grove, White Post, Franklin and Cass town ships, that could be had for from to f 10 per acre; but people are bound to go west and pay more for land worth 'ess money. The land in this township is all good, and tbe large number of state ditches being dug will make good farming lands ot every foot Ot it. RUSH COUNTY. The Republican says: Tbe protracted drouth Is becoming a serious matter with our farmers. Very little wheat has yet been sown and the ground is unfit for plowing. The wheat that has been put in the ground is doing no good. The corn crop has been materially injured by the drouth. The ears were dried up before they matured, and the grains are shriveled to a great extent. A great deal ot corn was dry enough to crib a week or two or ago. There will be nothing like tbe yield that was anticipated early in the season. So much for last year's Exposition. The Republican says: Augustus Miller, Esq., of Anderson township, showed us an ear of white corn, the other day, which was the finest we have ever seen. It contained 1100 grains, measured ten and a half inches in circumference, was one foot long, and weighed two and a quarter pounds. Mr, Miller procured the seed at tbe Indianapolis Exposition, last year. When be obtains an entire field of that corn, he will surprise the neighborhood. SULLIVAN COUNTY. Who is McKee? Don't all speak at once. The Princeton Democrat says: Information is wanted of Francis Vigo KcKee, who left Sullivan county, Ind., in January, 1SÜG, intending to go to California. lie is an heir to a considerable estate, which will soon be settled and distributed. Any information regarding his whereabouts would be gladly received by his sister, Amanda S. Turner, at Sullivan, Ind. ST. JOSEPH COUNTY. One Henry Borough, with a two-horse team, hauled in on Sumption's Prairie read to Keady's mill, 80 bushels and 20 pounds of wheat. He could not have done it but lor a good gravel road, which is a suggestion to farmers worthy of attention. Gov. Hendricks is expected to speak in South Bend the first week of October. TIPPECANOE COUNTY. Mary Shufelt, a married woman, lately living near Culver's station, took arsenic, and died from the effects of it, on Sunday. There was, evidently, some domestic trouble which caused the desperate act. TIPTON COUNTY. A school marm' is coming from Noblesvi lie to teach in Tipton, of whom the boya will do well to be aware. The Advance has heard that she is a dead shot with tbe pistol able to toss an apple in the air and core it wih ajcart ridge from a Colt's revolver before striking the ground. VIGO COUNTY. Who says the Wabash Valley Is unhealthy? Read this tale of long, virtuous and contented existence from the Terre Haute Gazette of Wednesday: David Barbour, for fifty-eeven years last past a citizen of this county, celebrated his ninety-fourth birthday yesterday. He Is a hale and hearty old gentleman, and good to all appearances for many more years of -life. His wife, who is eighty-seven years ot age, is also in 'good health, and, together, they are a genial old couple, whose sprightliness of manner and action would deceive persons into a total unbelief that they were so advanced in years. This aged couple came into this county with their lamily ot small children in 1817, or just 57 vears ago this fall, traveling from Evansville in a wagon, and moving all their household goods into this thinly settled and wild country. They have lived here con tinuously ever since tnen upon the identical farm they first settled upon in Fayette township. The Journal makes a splendid rejort of the Normal, which is now under full pressure under President Jones's thought con denser. He is as much of a subaoiler of brains as of his farm, and knows how to get the most out of both. The Journal says: "New studies are being added to the curriculum, and new professors have been secured Professor Bosir and Brown are among the number. Tho exercises at the closing last evening were peculiarly pleasant. Prof. Brown, being a fino violinist and thorough musician, commenced the drill in music, and finding a number of finevoices, declares he will have Buch singing as shall be equally

creditable with the other branches, even

Jromislngto make a singer ot President onea himself. HORRIBLE DISCLOSURE. MURDER OP ROBERT CLARK, IN MONROE ' COUNTY, II 1871 .HIS WIDOW REVEALS THE . MURDERER SHE MAKES A SWORN STATEMENT. ' Bloomington, Ind., Sept. 25, 1874. The taking of human life, even though "it be done in the heat of passion and strife, always creates a feeling of horror in a quiet and peaceful community, and horror is mingled with Indignation when the victim is stricken bown by the hand of the assassin whilst pursuing the quiet doings of the husbandman. Such was the feeling of this community on the 25 dsy of August, 1871 when Clark, a good and peaceable citizen of Fall Creek township, was found by his little daughter, within a quarter of a mile from bis home, hacked and stabbed to death. And such is the feeling now, revived in the most unexpected manner, and intensified by the lapse of three long years. At the time of the murder suspicion fell upon odo David Jacobs as tbe perpetrator of the crime. It was thought he bad a motive for the deed from the fact that Clark was an import ant witness aeainst Jacobs in a suit for bastardy brought by . one Amanda Crouch, a poor idiotic girl, sister-in-iaw to both Ciuk and Jacobs. Jacobs was arrested. waived examination, took a change or venue to Brown county, was tried and as there was no evidence against him -was ac quitted. This was the end with him so far as the law was concerned, dui suii ne was guilty in the belief of his neighbors. How-", ever, matters remained quiet until about a year afterwards, when a "true bill" was found against one James Knight. He was also tried for the crime, but as there was not the shadow -of - evidence against him he . was also acquitted. Thus, It was thought by all, tbe affair must end. Thus, it was thought by all, justice had been cheated, the gallows defrauded of its dues, and the assassination of Robert Clark doomed to remain a mystery forever. And bo it would, perhaps, if It bad not been for the appearance of one Thomas Kelson upon - tbe scene. The widow of , Robert Clark married a man by the name" of Mitchell and again became a widow, since which time Nelson has been a frequent visitor at her house. All too frequent to suit Jacobs, it seems, as on meeting him there a short time ago, be accused him of trying to cheat thewidowoutof some land, ordered him away from the house, and threatened either to whip or kill him if he ever caught him there again. A bad feeling sprung up between Jacobs and Nel son, mutual threats were indulged in, and Jacobs, either fearing or feigning fear of great bodily harm from Nelson, swore out a peace warrant against him, and, in company with . a special constable, who was armed with a writ, proceeded to search for Nelson in order to arrC9t him. It was not long before they found him, but Nelson, who was armed, refused to 5 lace himself in their power, claiming that acobs would seek an excuse to murder him and run away, whereupon Jacobs and tbe constable pursued him and fired eleven shots from their revolvers at him. Nelson, on reaching some weeds, threw himself down, hallooing, 41 You have shot me." Such was not the fact, however, as he was not touched, but came to town in a lew days and swore out a peace warrant against Jacobs; also filed information against him for petit larceny and assault with intent to kill. For all of which Jacobs was duly recognized to court by Esquire Lunderman, on yesterday. In the meantime tbe widow of Robert Clark now Mis. Mitchell informed Nelson that she knew something about the murder of her husband which she wished to disclose to certain of her neighbors in whom she had confidence, if she could be assured protection. Nelson went to the Earties designated, who . agreed to meet er at an appointed spot in the woods and hear her statement. On last Wednesday, tbe 10th inst., the parties repaired to the place and found Mrs. Mitchell in waiting. And there, in the depths of the forest, with fear and trembling, she made a statement, which, from the surroundings, was necessarily imperfectly taken down by one of the parties present, and of which the following is a copy: STATEMENT. Sept. 16, 1874. On the 24th day of August, 1871, in the evening, I started to go to where Robert was at work. I heard somebody halloo, M O Lord !" I went on close to where Robert was. Robert was down and Dave Jacobs was standing over him, stabbing him with a butcher-knife. I broke to run back toward home. Jacobs followed after me and overtook me, and said he was going to kill me; said Bob was then dead, and that if I would not tell it he would not kill me then, but if I ever did tell it he swore he would kill me certain. I think be lias sworn to me more than a dozen times since' that if I ever did tell it he would kill me just as sure a3 1 told it. He told me that, if I told it, his father would kill me; that he was just as good aa ever he was before he did It; that he (Jacobs) had plenty of friends that would kill me if I told it. When he (Jacobs) first overtook me when I was running awav from where Robert was killed, he (Jacobs) told me to go home and stay there, and for me to halloo for Robert every once in a while through the night and lor me to send one of the children next morning to look for Bob down tbe road toward Bulk's and they would be sure to find him. her Louisa X Mitchell. Signed and acknowledged in onr presence Witnesses, James O. Baxter, CA. Carter Henry Clark, Reuben Clark, John Lucas. She has since made a statement more in detail and made oath to it, but the above . is the substance. She says she was in the habit ot going where her husband was at work, in the evening after she got her household work done up, and gives this as an explanation why she was going where he was on that evening. She also says Jacobs has told her since, that himself and Clark were standing talking friendly the evening of the murder, and that he raised the ix which Clark had been nsing, and struck him with it knocking him down, and then used the knife, stabbing hin twice in tbe heart. - She is now away from home, and says she is , afraid to return for fear Jacobs will kill her; that she wished to make this statement because she has not had a moment's peace since the murder, and was tired of Jacobs coming to her house and threatening her. Whether Mrs. Mitchell wa9 induced to make this disclosure! from the fact that ; it was . an unbearable and wasting secret, or through the influence of Nelson, each must be the judge for himself. But one thing is certain, Jacobs has been tried for the offense and acq Bitted, and that is a bar to all future prosecutions, and if her statement be true, no punishment is left for D.ivid Jacobs, but the remorse and lashings of a guilty conscience, and the vengeance of A!2ehty God. ?J. King Louis of Bavaria is now in Paris amusing himself in bis own free and easy way, seeing sights and visiting galleries and riding about town in a tweed suit. Sensible king that,

HOME AND FARM. It is a little curious that nobody Is able to tell satisfactorily how . a tree grows. Most people firmly believe that the trunk is gradually lengthened, carrying tbe branches up higher from year to year. But Prof. Gray pronounces this a popular fallacy. Why la cabbage rendered more wholesome and nutritious by being boiled in two waters? Because (according to Dr. Paris) cabbages contain au essential oll.which Is apt to produce bad effects; and he recommends that they should be boiled in two successive waters, till they are soft and digestible. Now is the time to pot a few bulbs in the

yard and along the borders, to make tbe spring bright with beautiful flowers. Everybody admires a bed of hyacinths. It will stop the passers-by by its attractiveness. Yet very few people, comparatively, make preparation for such pleasures in the fall. Is it a lack of forethought? Pray, Miss Cook, don't put your baked squash on the table just as it comes from tbe oven, with the shell on. Baked or boiled, it should be cooled "on the shell." But prepare it for the table, scrape the pulp1 from tbe shell, mash well, add salt and butter, put neatly into a dish, smooth the surface, and sprinkle with pepper. To make Apple Butter. The best apple butter is made by peeling, coring and slicing selected sweet apples and stewing tbem in sweet cider. Very little of this sort of apple butter, however, comes to market. The bulk of that sold is made from second-rate apples peeled, sliced and stewed, and sweetened with brown sugar.' A largo quantity of such butter is made and sold for ship's stores for use by the sailors. Pickled Peaks. Twenty pounds pealed fruit, 7 pounds sugar, one quart vinegar. Boil the sugar and vinegar together, stick a couple of cloves into each pear, and put them into the sugar and vinegar with water enough to nearly co ver them. When cooked enougn remove pears to stone jar, and after boiling the pickle for 15 uiinutes longer, pour it over them. ; Examine in a week and if tbe pickle is not sufficiently concentrated remove and boil down again. The Pen and Plow has an admonition for the young lolks. It comes very near the truth: The line of conduct chosen during the five years from fifteen to twenty, will, in almofct every instance, determine his character for lue. As be is then careful or careless, prudent or improvident, industrious or indolent, truihiul or dissimulating, intelligent or ignorant, temperate or dissolute, so win ne be in after years, and it needs no prophet to cast his horoscope or calculate ms cnances m me. Go Slow. London Society gives a timely hint which is specially applicable to Ameri cans: One great secret of success and iiappl ness in life is never to be in a hurry. We olten hear people complain that they have very little time to do this or that in. It will generally be found on examination that these people have no idea of how properly to economize their time, and they usually are insanely desirous of doing several things at once. The consequence is that they seldom or never do anything well. Gree& Tomato Pickles. One gallon sliced tomatoes, four sliced onions; salt them in layers alternately. Let them stand twelve hours; drain tbem well from the brine and wash In cold water. , Take one teaspoon ful of black pepper, one of alsplcc, two of cloves, three of mustard, all ground tine; one-half pint of mustard seed, a handful of grated horseradish, six green peppers, cut fine; mix them well with the tomatoes in a jar; pour over them three pints ot boiling vinegar. Cover close, and in three days they will be ready for use. , , . , To Pass Through Smoke. In tbe course of an inquest in London, Mr. Wakely, tbe coroner, stated that It would be well to acquaint the public with the fact that if per sons in a house on fire had the presence of mind to apply a damp cloth or handkerchief to their mouth and nostrils they could effect a passage through the densest smoke; but tbe beat way would be to envelope the head and face completely in a damp cloth. Another way to escape is to drop down and crawl on the floor as the smoke is always much less dense near the floor. The Poultry nousz. The poultry house is a matter that must not be forgotten while the good weather lasts. A good warm place for the poultry in winter is quite as important as good feed. Take advantage of the first slack time, and if your hen house is not a desirable one, make it so. Patching it up will do, if the building is situated in the rig tit place. But if by any bad management it is located in an exposed position, tear it down and build one where it has some protection against the cold blast of winter. Close up every crevice, so that the winds cannot possibly get in. This will not only save your chickens, but th?y will require less food to get them through the winter. Helps fob the Cook. Says a sensible person in Moore's Rural: Let me suggest to your readers a few ways of varying the dessert at dinner changes from the inevitable pie. They may not be new, yet I never see them at any table save our own: Make a dough as for biscuit; roll thin and spread with currants, cherries or any kind of berries. Roll it up like jelly cake and steam it till done. To be eaten with sweetened cream. Another is: To one pint of sour milk add one teaspoonful of soda, floor to make a batter, and a handful of dried cherries or currants. Pour into a basin and steam until done. To be eaten with sweetened cream. Instead of sweetened cream for the above pudding, a sauce made of half a pint of wine, half a cup of sugar, one tablespoonful of butter boiled and thickened with a little flour, might be used. Cider is a very good substitute for the wine. Or, instead of the sauce, a sirup of sugar and water boiled is good with either of the puddings. To keep dried beef and hams away from flies, pack them in dry salt. This is better than ashes, oats, sawdust, or anything of the kind. , To Treat Hard Water. What is known as hard water is water which holds carbonate of lime in solution. The carbonate of lime combines chemically with the soap when this hard water is used for washing furposos, and forms a lime soap which is nsoluble. The insoluble, soap forms flakes which float upon the water, and present the peculiar appearance so well known to persons twho use hard water to wash with. 1 The carbonate of lime is only soluble in water that contains free carbonic acid, and When anything is added to the water that will unite with this free acid the oorbonate of lime in solution is precipitated, and falls to the bottom in a fine powder, Common corbonate of soda, or the sal soda of the shops, when dissolved in water, combines with the free acid and forms bi-carbonate of soda. The .carbonate of lime is then precipitated, and the water is no longer hard. A small quantity of soda is sufficient. Two Year Beep. Says the Tribune: The modern shorthorn owes its reputation and value to its early maturity aa much as to its large size and the excellence of Its meat. As early as the year 1769 it was found that wme

0JhÜ? .then caUad improved shorthorns arrived at maturity two years earlier than other cattle. Oxen, which were the produce of the old Studley bull one of the most celebrated of , the ancestors ot the modern shorthorns at five years old produced more meat than others at seven years old. For many years after thus, by skill In breeding and care in feeding, the period of maturity was further hastened by two years; and tbree-year-old beef was considered the period of excellence at which to aim in cattle feeding. But at the present time another voar ha hn

lopped off from the time needed to produce a mature carcass of beef, and 'two-year-old beef is what is now aimed at as the most profitable .production of the breeders' and feeders art. It is somewhat curious, however, that while in America we have rained a reputation for producing the choicest breed animals, as to blood, we have not yet become equally conspicuous as producers of Hanf Wkll. 1 l . v.. ,wuuo wo ua to cuo reputation icr possessl.na: the cream of the "tinc ctnir. and can secure hitherto unheard-of prices for dukes or duchesses, yet for BOlid utility we can not approach English breeders. It is not that we have not been engaged in the business of breeding or feedine cattle Ion? enough, nor that beef production is not a profitable business with us; bat rather, we would hazard tbe opinion, that our attention has been given more to fancy strains of hlnnd than to breed! tie simclv useiul animals Who among our breeders makes a practice of exhibiting fat two or three year old steers as specimens of the capability of his herd, or as advertisements of the excellence of bis stockt And where is the farmer who makes a business of ralsinir such beef for nrofit ? It there are any such, it is unfortunate that they are kept in the background and successfully hide themselves from tbe ubiquitous interviewer or the reporter or editor on the hunt for just such- instances. The fact is, mey uo not exist: they have not vet learned how to produce , two-year-old beef proutauiy. Apples axp CinEn. A writer sends some valuable suggestions to the New York Tr; bune, which are just now practical: The apple crop of the present year is good enough. That is, were it greater it would be worth' less than it now is. An excessive crop is a nuisance to the grower and of little benefit to the consumer. The present cron is of good quality. In the disposal of it there are some considerations which are worth notice. In the market ont good . apple is worth several poor ones. One good apple along with two poor ones brings no more than three poor ones. The one good one alone will sell for more than when it is degraded by the presence of its poorer companions. The good never raises the character of the inferior fruit, while the inferior never fails to reduce tbe good to its own level. This has become so well known to those who make a business of supplying the market with fruit that the greatest care is taken in selecting only good specimens for shipment. It pays better to throw away poor fruit thn to put it along with the choice. Neither does it pay to ship poor fruit to a distant market. Freight and other charges are just the same on a barrel of apples worth $1 as on one worth f o. This rule works equally In whatever way the crop is disposed of. : If it is made Into cider it still pays to select the fruit. Choice cider can only be made with perfect fruit. There must be no decayed, wormy, or unripe fruit used if a reallv perfect cider is to be made. Equally there must ' be . selection of methods , in making the cider. Everything in ; the process should be perfectly cleaned and tbe vats and barrels sbonld be new or else sweet and free from the slightest taint. Wine or spirit casks are to be preferred for storing It. After tbe pressing it should be filtered through flannel bags and sand into barrels, the bungs of which are removed for fermentation. The faucets by. which it is to be drawn off Into casks lor keeping should be placed at least six Inches from the chine Of the barrel, so that the sediment is . not disturbed : in the racking process. '.The place of storage should be dry 'ana of an ' even temperature. not over GO, and never " below 40 degrees. The brightest colored cider is made in mills and ptesses where no iron comes in contact with the pulp, and the puip should not be exposed to the air any longer than necessary. The oxidation of the juice takes place very quickly and deepens its color. No addition of sogar, mustard seeds, flesh of beef or chemical substances, are needed to preserve or improve It if these precautions are obsarved. ' When they are neglected, none of these can restore or improve it. If badly made it is always bad, and if well made it may be kept always good without any addition. . . jJJEDIOAL SPECIALTIES I Twenty-five "Tears ELrpeilenco. MEDICAL OFFICE OF DR.
