CIDER-MAKING.
DEVELOPMENT OF TUB INDUSTRY. (Fbom Oun Own Correspondent.) WELLINGTON, August 20. Au industry which has made considerable development during the year, particularly in the Nelson district, is that of cider-making. The quantity of cider manufactured was 40,000 gallons, most of this being produced from a grade of apples, which, in former seasons, was allowed to rot in the orchards or was fed to stock. In this connection the cider industry promises to be of great value to the applegrowers of the dominion as a means of making a profitable use of their low-grade apples, and it deserves every encouragement from that point of view alone. Tip to the present the bulk £f the cider produced has been consumed locally; and judging from the amount disposed of in the Nelson district it should command a ready sale throughout New Zealand when the business has been properly developed.
