PHOENIX BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 5, 1897.
A SHORT APPLE CROP.
100000 Pounds Usedl by the BrattIe-
boro Jelly Company, orlOne-Half the
Amount OF Last Season.

100000 Pounds Usedl by the BrattIe-
boro Jelly Company, OrlOme-Half the
Amount OF Last Season.
The statements made early in the sea-
son as to the deficiency in the apple crop
are borne out by the report of the number
of bushels of apples received this season at
the factory of the Brattleboro Jelly com
pany. While there are yet several hundred
bushels to be brought in, the end of the
season is practically at hand and the books
of the company show that less than $4,000
bushels or about 100000 pounds have been
brought in and have been converted into
jelly, cider and vinegar, which is about
half the amount received last year. Last
year the company paid 10 cents per hun
dred pounds for apples but this year, be-
cause of the shortness of the crop, 20 cents
per hundred has been paid. The crop this
year has been larger, proportionately, in
Vermont than in any other Eastern state,
and the demand from foreign markets for
our apples has been unusually great. A
number of carloads were sent from Brat
tleboro over the tracks of the Boston &
Maine railroad last week including not on
ly apples for winter eating but apples
which were good for no other purpose
than to convert into cider or to feed to
hogs. Buyers of the latter kind for ship
ment to Massachusetts and New York
have been paying five cents per hundred
more than the jelly company, and in their
zeal to supply the demand it is said that
agents have stationed themselves at GER
tain points commanding a view of the
roads over which apples from the surround
ing towns would naturally be brought, and
htygN tf.art Co. a, -, ,c
that offered by the jelly company have
thus turned toward the freight station
many hundred bushels originally intended
for the jelly company. A smaller proper
ton of apples than usual has been made
into jelly this year, the bulk having been
turned into vinegar, the manufacture of
which the company makes a specially. At
present the company is making vinegar at
the rate of Is barrels day. The process
at present employed in making vinegar is
year and by it the finished product may be
drawn off in much less time than by the
old method. The apparatus consists
mainly of large supply tank in which the
cider is stored, from which the cider runs
through tubes into several tanks contain
ing substance through which it filters.
When the cider reaches the bottom of the
tanks it is vinegar and may be drawn off.
The old method was to store the cider
in casks and to hasten its fermentation by
the use of steam heat. The product of the
pickle industry, in which the company is
also extensively engaged, is only about
one-third as large this year as it was last
and the company has bought three car
loads of pickles from Wisconsin to meet
its actual need. Eight carloads were or
dered but the order has sinces been cut
do Sn owing to large and sudden increase
in the price. The company has also sailed
between 500 and 900 barrels of cauiflower
this season.

Our team expects to play Hinsdale High
school Saturday afternoon at West Brattle-
boro on Stoves meadow.
Our team defeated the Brattleboro team
Wednesday. The Brattleboros had nearly
the same team which played the Hinsdales
last year with the exception of Bingham.
The boys think that if the Brattleboros
had not had Bingham they could have kept
them from scoring. Taylor was no match
for him and he opened immense holes for
Cooley. There were two minutes more to
play when the game was called on account

The city of Chicago appears to have set
tied its garbage question. 1t has contract
ed with responsible citizen to collect and
dispose of all the garbage of the city for
term of five years for the sum of S1,251,-
SOL. The garbage includes offal, ashes,
sweepings and all refuse matter whatsO-
ever, and it must be disposed of by orema-
ton or reduction outside the city limits,
unless a suitable location or locations can
be found within the city, approved by the
health authorities. The contractor must
be prepared to sell his entire plant and out
fit to the city at the expiration of the first
five years. contract. For every verified
complaint against the contractor, made by
a citizen, of failure to collect garbage or
to handle the same properly, he is to be
charged 81, to be deducted from his pay
roll. This looks like an altogether advan-
tageous bargain for the city.
