Apple Butter.

In preparing apple butter, cider made from sweet applesjrill make a better article. but if it cannot be obtained, common cider can be used. Take the cider as it runs from the press, before any. fermentation has taken place, and boil it down in a tin or copper boiler (never use iron) until it has evaporated fully onehalf; while it is boiling, all the scum that rises must be carefully removed, and as soon as it is thick enough, add a quantity of good tart apples, pared and cut into quarters, taking out all the cores. Fill the boiler half full of the quarters. Keep up a slow but steady fire, and be very careful to stir the apples every few moments, to prevent them from sticking to the -bottom and sides of the kettle. When the apples have boiled about fifteen minutes and have settled a little, add more, until the boiler is quite full enough; how cook to a pulp, stirring it almost continually. When it is finished, showing no whole piece, but all one iriass of pulp, turn it into jars or firkins, and let it cool; cover it and store in a cool place; It can be seasoned with spices, while cooking or afterward ; ground cinnamon and cloves are the best suited as a flavoring. One and a half bushels of apples, after they are pared and quartered, are enough for one barrel of cider before it is boiled down.— Country Gentleman —i—;——Three ladies in a small town in South Carolina, at the close of the war, commenced making preserves, as an experiment, to see whether it would pay, Forty families are now supported in that village by that industry alone.
