How They Make Lemons Sour,

Until recently the California people
did not know how to cure lemons. The
fruit was never tart enough. There
would be plenty Of juice, but it con-
tanned a high percentage Of sugar and
a small percentage Of acid, which
made it unmarketable. But few
years ago the lemon growers dubbed
together and sent experts over to Italy
and Spain to learn the business, and
now they are producing much better
results. They pick the fruit before it
begins to turn yellow and put 1t in
curing house, where 1t is kept at an
even temperature Of about so degrees
for about 20 days, which ''sweats out"
all the sugar. 1t is then removed to
another temperature for 60 days more
before 1t Is ready for the market.
Thus the highest degree of acid and
the largest degree of juice can be OBJ
tanned. One of the curious effects Of
this Sweating" process Is to reduce
the thickness of the skin. 1t originally
grows thick and tough, but the acid
seems to eat 1t up.-Chtcago Record
