A Local Cider Manufactory.

On Monday a repreaentativo of this paper paid a visit to fiftr S Cram's aider maaa fuotory, which was fount) in fail swing at his premises near the East Belt* The first process is the 'crushiDg,' wbioa is done by horse power, a, large wheel of solid oonoreto revolving in a given space wherein the apples are plaoed. This process is continued Mil ail che pips are crushed op, whioh take* abouo thiee hours' work to accomplish* The palp is then transferred into cider cloths, 1 whioh ure made of horae hair, fonr feeb cix inches square, made especially for the work. Theaeare pat under a very powerful pre«p, but while tbl« grinding ie going on, one man is constantly pressing tha stuff in under the ranner that weighs 14 owb. Afcer ib is rut in these cider cloths, a strong hoard 4ft 6m aoroas is placed in position, and blocks are packed to alow the screw to bava tuli pmsur''. The earew u«»d is about) four inches through, and about sft. long, and oonveysanenormoua pressure when required, There is a lot of tronble connected witn thia work, bub as Mr Gram started to learn it wh*n a boy, he thoroughly understands how it is door; M? Cram claims that the advan tage of cider are not known well enough ; unlike ma ay other beverages the oider, it used properly, is a healthful beverage, and does nobody any harm. Ine prooess under which Mr Crum works is tha oldest and yet the most up to date known, aa if there is any juice io the f-uib at all it must ootne ou>; Most) of the apple pips bare to be crushed to got (he etrergth out. To show the purity of b.b m^ouf'kotiaro, Mr Oram staled that there was nothing whatever put in ou!y what oomee out of the fruit. His experience is that the more tha fruit is mixed the bettar Alongside the mill prea; is a buiidmg 32 x 10, and in thia the barrels are stored tor racking the cider cff. Then on the ot.hsr side is another iean-to 32 s 11, whioh is used for g<necal [orpoaes. The barrels rangs from 100 gUioca down to 2 galous, Mr C:um tl-i <ku h*t very few paopia are aw*re, outside ifa»t of his own private frienda, that he baa made a mill Io existence. Abous fourteen years ago Mr Crum paid & vUia to the old country, and brought out sovetal httni ouuneoted with ihe working of the plant. Coming from a locality whera c dir making is carried ou to a large extent, lie is no novioa at it, and ie thoroughly well versed in us mauufaoture. If he had plenty of fruit it Is bis intention to spend £40 or £50 and have the plant thoroughly overhauled. la the eouthern counties of England, oider making has been carried oa for many yearn, »nd it is » note worthy fact that the healthful beverage Jiub never gone down in public favour, &b noth ing bo 1} the fftlib ifcaelf ia mcd in the manu facture of oider, Mr Orum considers th»ti it is a» invigorating a beverage ac oan we!! be t&k'B, and in bh r> course of ooDVcrsntiott j loularly remarked Hhst if people knew more about the va'ue of c.der they would have less doctors' bills to p*y ; medioine would be at a discount, and even the denials would suffer:' Bd ih*b S3 it m*y.
