mentation $ which, if not timely and artfully 
check’d by Racking, the brifk and pleafant Spi- 
rits of the Cyder will fly off, and leave a vapid, 
if not a four Drink behind. In the Racking off 
your new Cyder, let it run out of your Tub 
two or three Inches from the Bottom bv a 
Cock, and then the Lee or Settlements may be 
put amongft: the Stampings, or Pumice, for 
making the better Water-Cyder, or Cyderkin. 
Note alfo, you are to cover it all the Time it is 
fermenting in your Tubs, and that the finer 
you put the Cyder into your Calk, the lefs it 
will ferment there, and the better it will drink, 
and be preferved found. But a more certain, 
and much better Method I (hall give an Ac- 
count of from the Pradtice of my Devonfire 
Correfpondent, as follows, m. 
The new , excellent Method of fermenting and 
racking Cyder, according to the prejent P radii ce 
of the Southams.— As foon as Cyder is run 
through a Strainer from the Prefs, they put it 
into a very clean, fweet Veffel, either a Pipe or 
Hogflhead, but a Pipe is beft, provided the 
Quantity will admit of it, for the larger the 
Quantity lies together, the better it is for the 
Cyder; but if the Family is a fmall one, Hogf- 
heads are beft. When the Calk is filled from 
the Prefs, they take Care to fill it no more than 
within fix or eight Inches of the Top, by which 
it will have Room enough to work, without 
working over ; for this mu ft be avoided, or the 
contrary will tend to the Damage of the Cyder,
