Cider Viiugar can be made easily and quickly if the following directions are followed : When cider is made, save the pomace and put it in tight bar- rels or hogs-heads, with one head out, and put in enough rain water to cover it. After it has begun to ferment, draw off from the bottom all that vou can, dilute the. cider with it, and nearly two barrels of vinegar can be made of one of cider. Do not fill barrels in which the cider vinegar is to )ye made quite full, as there should be a space for air. Put into each barrel one or two pounds of bread dough, in the condition *it is in when kneeding out into loaves. Once a day, for a few weeks, draw out from each barrel a gallon of the cider and pour it into the bung-hole, so as to get. air into it. A quart or two of molassesCider Vinegar are recommended as a help, and beech shavings and brown paper are often used to hasten the acetic fermentation ; but we think the bread dough is best. If the vinegar is made in summer, it may be made out of doors ; but late in the fair it should be in a room where the temperature can be kept up to 70 or SO degrees by stove heat.
