NOVEMBER W, 1904. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Dibble were in from Silver creek a day or two this week. Mr. Dibble has not yet fully recovered from his recent sickness, but is improving. By means of experiments con ducted by Professor I’ernot at the Oregon Agricultural College it has been demonstrated that prunes and other fruit juices can be kept al most indefinitely by sterilizing and putting up in airtight bottles, and the juices have no “cooked” flavor. Prune juice has been kept in the college laboratory for three years in perfect condition. After describ ing the manner of preparing the juices, Professor Pernot says con cerning the cost and value of the produet of one of our most common fruits, of which a large quantity is annually wasted: Cider apples can generally be obtained for 10 cents per bushel. One bushel will make at leai-t three gallons of cider. It this were sold al 20 cents per quart bottle, the cider from one bushel of apples would give a gross receipt of $2 40, and the cost of preparing the twelve bottles of cider for market would not exceed 75 cents at most. There is a constant demand for sweet cider, and an extensive mar ket for it. The prosperity of our producers depend upon the utiliza tion of all their products, but there is entirely too much of our bounti ful supply of fruit wasted.
