Of making Cider. 
Firft grind them rough with coarfe Eme¬ 
ry, then make them finoother with fine. 
So if the mouths of your Bottles be un¬ 
even Cas ufually they are) you giind them 
finooth, with a wooden plug in a Turn, 
and pollifh them fmooth, by which means 
the Corks m3y be preferved. 
The only Objection againft this way of 
Clofure, is. That not giving pafiage for any 
Spirits, the Liquors are apt to force the 
Bottles, which in Bottles ftopt with Cork 
rarely happens, the Cork being fomewhat 
pprous, part of the Spirits, though with 
difficulty, perfpire. 
IfGlafi-bottles happen to be mufty^they 
areeafily cured by boy ling them in a Veffel 
of water, putting them in whilft the water 
is cold, which prevents the danger of break¬ 
ing 5 being alio cautious that you fet them 
not down luddenly on a cold Floor, but on 
Straw, Board, or fuch-like. If your Glafi- 
bottksbe foul, you may cleanfe them with 
hard Sand or fmall Shot roll’d and tumbled 
up and down in them with water, which 
willalfo takeaway themuftinefs from them.
