Keep Cider Sweet. 

 Cider may be kept either perfectly 

 sweet or witli wliatever "bead" tlic 

 taste of the user suggests, according to 

 Miss Carrie Pancoast, of the Missouri 

 College of Agriculture. It may be 

 canned immediately or allowed to stand 

 for a few days, but in cither case the 

 method used includes filling fruit jars 

 with the cider and adding a tablcspoon- 

 ful of sugar to each c[uart, if desired. 

 Place the rubber and top in position 

 and tighten partially, in case of glass 

 jars; or if tin is used, cap and tip the 

 cans. An ordinary washtub or similar 

 vessel may be used in sterilizing. Laths 

 or thin boards should be laid across 

 the bottom to avoid heating the glass 

 to rapidly and cracking it. Put in water 

 enough to fill the vessel an inch or two 

 above the jars, heat to boiling, put the 

 jars in, and let the boiling continue for 

 ten minutes. Then remove, tighten the 

 covers, and invert in order to test the 

 lids while cooling. Other processes 

 that may be used involve sterilizing 

 for eight minutes with a water seal 

 outfit, for four miiudes under five 

 pounds' pressure with a steam pressure 

 outfit, or for two minutes with an 

 aluminum pressure cooker. 



Winter Injury to Fruit Trees. 

 A great many inquiries have come to 

 the horticultural division of the Exper- 

 iment Station asking for information 

 about tieatment of winter injured trees. 

 There are two forms of winter injury 

 more conmion than others. In the first 

 the bark is killed directly, and it often 

 splits on the trunk and larger limbs 

 and turns dark brown on the smaller 

 branches. The surface bark on the 

 small limbs is often raised, as if blis- 

 tered. This may occur in small circular 

 or irregular areas, or the entii-e limb 

 may be atrected. The small limbs
