I'etv people are aware of tlie extent to
which the adulteration of food is cavriml at
the present tnpe. Some of these are ho :»p
--parent.and, withal, s« disgusting, that it is
surprising that the authorities continue to
allow them.—milk made of chalk and wafer,
coffee without a grain of codec, cider that h
innocent of apples, and cider vinegar made
of whiskey, molasses, and .sulphuric acid.
Such things area little too free in this fu-e
country, and the abuse has become so great
that a little wholesome legislation would
do no harm Ten pounds of ground gin
ger, mi; I with ninety pounds of corn-uu al.
is common in our retail shops. We
pass over the adulterations of wine, spirits,
and heer, for these are not articles of vi ry
prime necessity* for diet, and people can do
without them; but there ought to be a law
that would put a stop to the adulteration ol
the foed wo cat.

Before me is “A General Treatise on the
Manufacture of Vinegar, Theoretica 1 :u
Practical, by 11. Doussouer;” price 'i l
work was sent me by A. JJ. Strong, of At'liti
hula. Ohio, through whom it may be ohtah
ed. The Western fanner is bopimung to b.
interested in tho making of cider vinegar
for our peculiar warm autumns work rapid
changes in tho refuse of the apple crop, that
compel its early working and making into
vinegar. The fact is, that a largo per cent
of the apple crop that is usually wade into
cider in other ami more Northern Slates. i>
only lit for, and must be made into, vim ear.
For this reason, this valuable won.
is timely, ami cannot fail of being useful, to
any fanner who desires to economise.
All of tho known processes for vinegar
making, whether on a large or small scale,
am described in this work. The chapter on
the adulteration of vinegar cannot fail to in
terest the consumer, ami will explain to him
tho cause of that burning sensation soofien
experienced after eating vinegar on beans,
cabbage, or other food. It also gives simple
tests.wliereby the consumers can himself d»
tect the presence of sulphuric acid. In order
to pass oil* weak or Inferior vinegars, they aio
adulterated with mineral acids, or hot. pung
ent substances, such as chillies, red pepper,
etc. These are not only a fraud,«but ollen
dangerous to health.
In order to make the orchard abetter paj*-
ing appendage of the farm, we must see
♦hat is to he done with its products, e.-pe
clally tho apple crops. Few people take
iutoconsideration the effect that climate
has upon the ripening of the apple crop.
Commencing on the oast shore of 1.-tke
Michigan, thence to Maine, cider-making has
a steady march- Ohio has been sending
cider to Chicago for some weeks, ami non
the Michigan orchards begin the work. ami.
I along the whole line of orchards to the At
lantic. the cider beams to How from the
1 press. November and the early parts of De
cember are tho'time, in all that wide range
lof countrv, for this work. And, in
all that section, uo particular
attention is paid to the making of eider Vine
gar, and this product of the orchard cios
comparatively small figure. Tho washings
of the pomace and stale eider arc the main
reliance for this product. As a tuatti r «»t
course, there is some good cider vinegar, out
the larger part of it is like tin* wim* vim-gai
of Paris, that is made of the rinsings of the
wine-shops and stale wine, a caricature on
the name of vinegar.
Here, in our prairie orchards, tin* dn.
1 warm autumns present a condition that com
mands special attention. In mind..-ra u u
of ihjs, I will cite the experience of om
orchardist jliis season. His orclian:
produced about bushels o* up
pies. The product of this is abonr

which there were several hundred bushels.

l the crop went to the vinegar-casks, -.exl
in oj’der came the windfall of autumn ami
winter apples, and the lute summer varie
ties. such as Cooper, Lowell, Irish 1 each. etc.
The sound, ripe fruit of these wore desirable

bakeries. However well made, this earlt
mude cider would keen but a few days in the
warm rooms in which, it wa» exposed to:

About the :10th of August, eider was placed
in the cellar to ferment, and was pntthtouen

of this, put nn without fermenting, or the
use of drugs, is to-day nearly us sweet a-,

It will be seen that only one-hfth of the
crop was sold as fruit, hut this one-lifth. tm-i
very best of the crop, commanded a good
price, t hen the orchard contained a goodly
share of the celebrated Harrison elder apple,
and several hundred bushels of sweet apple?.

These were mixed with other grafted fruit in
certain proportions to make to make
into cider. in which nothing but
sound fruit was allowed. Then, in
pressing, onlv three gallon* of the juice In
the bushel of apples went into the cider.
Th* pojpace was then thrown into a larg.
tank, and the dippings throwuover the mas.-,
from time to time, to keep it jpoist, no water
being allowed.
The partially-decayed apples were also
ground nn for vinegar. Some people might
suppose that rotten apples will nut make
good viue*rar buj in this they are mistaken.
Cor the sugar and starch of the fruit is tirsi
I ehanged by alcoholic fermentation, and this
being oxytlized as fust as formed, is changed
in vinegar. 'For this reason it is_ m»t m ees
sarv to grind or press the apples in order to
make vinegar. as the fntit may be placed
in a tank or cask to ferment,
and which is facilitated by this
addition of water and a little yea>t. The
Shakers used to make vinegar in this man
ner. by puttingthe fruit into large leaelits.
similar to those used in the leaching of
ashes L?rtlm making of soap amlpolash.
The thousands of bushels of fruit that rot t» d
on the ground in the Northern counties id'
this srtal’e, this season, Would have given the
owners thousands of gallons of eider vinegar.
A butdn 1 would lui\« nude tour eallo sof
eider, which would produce tiirev gallons of
vinegar.
W»» have seen that tlm orchard in «iucs
tion turned out three gallons «if vim par to
fmr of older, hut, in thin case, the eider was
t-f a su permr quality, ami commanded
I more than double the usual price,
j In making; eider, it is usual to grind all the
i waste fruit. This, of course, makes an in
ferior article, only tit for vinegar, ami some
of it that 1 have seen iu market had too much
water to even make good vinegar.
1 very much doubt if more than one-half ef
the upnle crop \a sent to market, while the
other half mis on the ground. Jf we allow
two-thirds of it tit for the market, us first
and second quality, the remaining thitd
might he tunietl into vinegar at a profit.
Let us see how this is; Suppose that the
orchardist lias a crop of 0.000 iMichels of ap
ples. oiie-tliird of which is unlit for market,
t his onc-thUd will make him fi.ooo callous of
(vimqrar, worth *i.V». If wo gjjow one-hall
of this for picking up. manufacturing. uml
use ef casks, we have left, as a net profit.
t;dr»—a very pretty sum to he
saved'out of what is now wasted.
It jsdillicull toget-at Jhe exact profit of
the orchard, for farmers seldom k*H*p a de
tailed account of their sales, hut, from many
years* experience, 1 have full confidence iu
the estimate herewith presented. It is eer
tain that at least onc-thim of the prossvalue
of the orcliard is now lost, that could be
sold iu the form of cider vinegar. In order
;t» accomplish this we need the machine for
grinding and pressing the apphs,
with tank** amt casks for the vin
egar. In a former letter, I havf
described these with considerable minute
ness; hut th'we desiring full information
in regard to vinegar-making I would refer
to the work alluded to. .Some of the modes
described in that work are hawked about the
country, and sold at high figures, as secrets.
The making of vinegar iu ten hours*— mu
of the most arrant humhnps of tin* day—-has
had a large run, and is in the hands of nearly
all our country grocers, who have hcen led
to suppose that they could, hy some sweet
process, make thojr own vinegar at nominal
K 0} d* The making of vim-gar hv what
is called the quick process involves" a large
onllaj’of capital, and practical knowledge.
Ihe American generation is intemlcd to
facilitate the making of vinegar from cider

pense.

bn;: As Joaquin Miller is non* expected
toarme in i’or.land, 1 d< cm it my duty to
:iy a few words in his behalf to the people
if Oiviron. 1 have received many letters
rom different sources requesting me to «lis
le.-e a> much of his conduct toward his cliil
livn as 1 will. Although I feel flint these
hir.es concern no one~ on the faro of th-*
•arth Iml my children and me, still be he-
longs to the world now.and I have remained
ib*nt until remarks have been earned so far
s to make my children subjects of idle gos
ip, and deem it right to now ask a truce to
barge ami accusations, and request of you
o behold the poet anil receive hint in a mau
ler that will irive due tribue to his genius
indMtcciss. Mr. Miller has earned a fame,
nnl an appicciation of lii> efforts should be
iwarded him. He is a man of literary cnl
m.-and research: he Las read constantly,
mlustrioii.-ly, and had command of tier very
lif>t of literature, ancient and modern.
It had bent hi> sole ambition for years to
itnio Europe and acquire a literary fame. He
felr, and justly, that In* was gifted, and bis
mind being of line, poetic structure, and bis
brain very delicately organized, the coar.-e
and practical duties of pro\ idiug for a fan i
ly and the annoyance of children conilicted
with his dieanis and literary whims, bo.
when lie wrote me that he would he absent
in Europe live or six years, and in the mean*
lime 1 need not expect to hear from him of'
ten, as !m should he very busy. 1 asked foi
and obtained a divorce'm the courts of Laa»
County, and your singer was loosed and five
and no longer chained to, the annoying cates
of a family. Ho could give his whole alien
lion to his poems. 1, myself, sympathize wit!
him in his desire to have time and money t<
tamper with the Muses” ami cultivate hi
taste and talent for literature, and I feel that
all p«>-is and authors will also sympathize
with him.
I did not intend that my misfortunes
Mnafld be publicly known. Illness overtook
me in Portland, and by irregularities of the
muds and accidents wo were cut off fora
i hue from communicat ion with our friends.
My younger brother was with me, and 1 did
mu. a.-d; for assistance but by accident my
(vit-mls found me. I must ev*v remain grate
ful lot item for timely ami generous assist
ance but they cun bear me witness that 1
made no public i-omnlaint, and the charges
mr.de against Mr. Miller were not made with
my knowledge. 1 was as much surprised to
see them as any one. If. in live years ol
labor and complete isolation from my rela
t ivesand the woild. 1 worked with, him, ami
not even my nearest neighbor ami dearest
frit-mi heard one complaint or murmur froti
my lips and if. through that long winter ii
Poi Hand. 1 sewed humbly day after day am
ut-Jit after night as long as I was able
;-.i the olliccs ami residences of our mu
friends, who Were leading, am
wealthy people, and chose rather P
iet my babes come upon the verg
of starvation than to blemish hi
reputation by letting my circumstances h
known, it is not likely that after the day o
hope came and all was over i should pnldu l
make known what 1 had tried so hard t
conceal. As I said before. Mr, Miller felt
that he had gills of mind, and if his system
of economy v. as i isfd and hard to endure, it
v.at least a .-.mve.-s; and if lie needed all
hi- money to carry out his plans. I am satis
lie*! that'he thus 'used it. My hitter expe
rience of the past cannot come again. My
babes live timmgb it all, and I am more than
satisfied. I am 'grateful, as d all is well.
Tin* absurd statement ol tin Eugene./imrmd
that 1 had indignantly retunn o money that
Mr. M. sent me, is incorrect. and bis infoi in
iw are as economical of truth as they are
of atleetioii for their own llcsh and blood.
It would be a sad time to show indignation
toward a father when Ids babes were suffer

II >se iiiifUv.'i-d when be returns, it is true
tl at I had a home with my widowed mother.
Inn tin- place was dreary and secluded, and
tin v was in a church orselnml house with
in i'.iiy miles of my mother* Inane. So 1 did
ma deem it a proper place to educate my
children, and I came away, bringing them
with me, which was contrary to the derive
of i In- court, which gave tin- two older chil
dren to tin* care of my mother. As I brought
th. ni aw ay. he was released by law from car
ing for them. ami I have no reason to com
plain. Moreau any one have, justly.
Two hundred dollars a year alimony was
alb wi d, but as if was not secured you will
readily see tliat Mr. M. was entirely released
fie n any obligations. Themaiifal relations
be: ween Mr. Miller and myself are dis
bur that dots not prevent our hold-
jug oar piv-cibus babes in mutual love and
pr oct :iu!i: ami. although there are many
false sentiments in society in regard to these
things. I beg the privilege of exercising my
own judgment in regard l»» my duty toward
my children. As wo arc both mortals, it
w buhl be affectation in tins were 1 to propose
to :.ike upon myself all tin* blame, but i ask
it» biar my lull share. The many who fed

than the few who know and love me, and
henceforth I would have you ileal only with
him a< ;i poet and author. Pronounce j’mtr
judgment upon his hooks. Know him by his
epic heroes.
Jin mortal can go beyond himself in any
conception. When he attempts to. he only
strikes against the bonier of his imagina
tion and rebounds further back and when
man attempts to image a god he takes a step
bade, ami puts noon the shoulder.-* of his
g6d wings which belong to a lower order of
cri*atbm. Hood sometimes emm-s of evil:
the most deadly plant exhales a delicate per
fume. and our separation and sorrows pro
duced the poems ot Myrrh’” and “Even bo.”
If I have, after all. recovered my health, and
sometimes smiU-as others. I feel that have
senm kind of amdojry, Uam not l’u-day the
shadowy, faded woman that might b*e ex

editor writes. 1 must go "down the stream

Travel to the Yeaemite Valley. for the

victors will drop in from time to timedurimr
the present month. Tin* total number of
visitors to the Valley in ISjO was about 1,700.
which was sonmiTiO more than on any pre
vious season. This year, up to last week,
’.MS* visitors had entered the Valley, and the
total for the season will probably aparoxi
mate g’.-rO.). X.*\t year tlie rfape rid© and
horseback portion of the trip will be greatly
r«dn««d by the advance of the railroad
stsiihea Award. and the journey will be
made with so much greater ease that
the tide of travel will undoubtedly
bu largely Sueirtwd, and it will be necessary
to provide increased hotel accommodations.
Improvements in the way of trains up and
down the mountain side*, whereby the visi
tors may obtain the tim-.-t view of the valley
with much less labor than hitherto, are being
made, and the attractions for tourists will
thereby be largely increased. The subject of
the losemite guardianship. and the owner

likely to come prominently before both Con

the arrival of the steamship Franklin with

ground*, ami especially the vicinity of tin
Doctors quarters, were constantly crowds
from an early hour with visitors ‘from NVv
York ami elsewhere, anxious to gain some u.
fonnatiqn as to friends whom they expected
lon the Franklin. In some instances passen
gers who desired luxuries not prescribed Ir
regular quarantine diet were allowed to pro
cure articles from the shore, through the
quarantine ollieials, subject, however.' to the
orders of the Doctor. The Delaware, to wltieli
the well passengers have been transferred,
is a floating hotel of liiM-dass. Everything
is in perfect order* and its occupants are pro
vided with every accommodation. The ole
port-holes have been Idled with glass, am

new. and clean and orderlv, utul the w hole is
heated by steam.
Dr. Mosher visited the Delaware and mailt
a rigid inspection two or three times yester
day. and found it necessary to icmove tin
following persons who showed symptoms 01
cholera to the West Hank Hospital: Lam:.

having been accomplished, it was then
deemed advisable to remove the Delaware
to the Lower Pay in order to facilitate the
transfer «f_ any oilier person who may be
attacked with the disease on board the ves
sel. The more timid of the Staten Islanders
wdre delighted when the news of the Dela
ware's departure was made known.
The arrival of the Humboldt* which is ex
pected in a few days, is looked forward U
with no small amount of interest. She be
longs to the same line as the FtaukUn. sum

Colonel John .S. Loomis, tin* Land C
missiouer of the. Northern Pacific Kailvt
is inaugurating measures for cstaMi-dui
comprehensive system of tree euitiTre in the
nrairie regions ot the Kod Kiver valley ami
'takotn. which are traversed hy the line of
that road.
lie is now in consultation with gentlemen
who have made the subject of tree culture
in our climate a specialty, and will avail
himself of the host eNp.-iiehee in establishing
nurseries of trees Lt the hciiciit of settlers,
and in supplying them with seeds
best adapted to practical uses. Thi<
is a feature ot the grand and
pomplete seheinenf coloui/al ion.w hieh is be
ing perfected by Colonel Loomis, of the ut
most importance. The one, objection to the
prairie region crossed by the Non hern Lari tic
alter it enters the Kcd Liver valley
is its comparative destitution «»f
limber. This disadvantage, however, is re
duced to the minimum by the extraordinary
facilities possessed by the Northern I’aeitie
for supplying the region along its route with
lumber and fuel from the immense belt of
limber and June forests which it
crosses between Lake Superior and
Crow Wing Hirer. The settler is thus
certain of a cheap ami abundant
supply of the lumber required for building
and fences, but he still wants trees, not only
for an ornament and shelter, but to emanci
pate hi*n from dependence on a distant,
though very accessible source of supply. This
want the company propose to take measures
to supply on any scale demanded by the
requirements of This system of
ticc-pUmting on all the settled lauds of that
Company, if carried out fora few veers, will
soon clothe the naked plains of the Kvd
Kiver Valley and Jhikota with a new beauty,
and add immensely to the desirableness and
value of the hinds themselves.
