modern Philosopher, to waste. There

The apple waste industry is n new DC
cupation which demonstrates and
proves the value of waste aGd the wis

new industry is an outgroHth of TIA:

In the preparation of the apple fos

The apple pulp is then Sliced. Il caUld to

burned. Many tons Of il were con.
sumCd ard thousands of dollars fed 10
the roaring fires OF furnaces.
But it was discovered hat Tie core
and skin OF the apple contained scla-
tinous properties, as well ms an acid,
which, under proper conditions, would
excite alcoholic f~crmcrtation. The
e~rapOratorS OF southern Michigan hit
upon the discovery first, and iElmc,

The cyaporatcd waste was then

Jelly manufacturers recognized the
value of it's g%cIatinous properties, and
the wine merchants were convinced of
its fcrmcntiug tendencies. y great de.

The process Of iclly-maliinG in Chi

taken an immense stride forward OF
late. 4 stupid story has been exploded,
that the several large firms here en-.

streets and pick up discarded apple
cores. Also il was said that they de-
rive part Of their supply from private
trade with economical housclccpcrs,
restaurants and pic factories. This is
NJ error. The apple waste which is
used IN exclusively from cyaporn-
ton factories, aud Is hau'lcd only by
commission merchants. The market
value rarely varies from n cent pee
pound, and the employment Of n force
OF street gathcrciP would add an cN-
traordinary expense. which would rem
