The cider from 700 trees I distill into "hog fat" with 

 out paying the U. S. any tax or demoralizing my bees. 

 It' your eider neighbors have as much trouble & expense 

 -getting cheated to boot- as I have had in converting 

 cider into brandy, they may rind that hogs will utilize 

 waste apples to a much greater profit. 



J. B. Townlkv, Red Hill, Va. 



We have a line crop of apples here that we 

 pray may never be used for brandy.
