FRUIT CROP GONE.

It Il . Blue Outlook for she California
Growers.
A Los Angeles California, dispatch,
under date of July "A, says there will be
no peaches or prunes exported from that
part of the state this year, according to the
statement of prominent fruit growers.
President A. II. Sprague of the Southern
California DeciduOus Fruit Exchange, in
All interview, says:
"rhere will be very little dried fruit in
this section this year. except that which
comes from the north. There will be no
shipments of peaches or prunes.
1.-THE apricot crop also IL very short.
Only here and there is there a locality in
which the apricot crop approaches the
average.
"This shortage, for the most part, is
caused by most unreasonable warm
weather i'm January, followed by cold but
not frosty weather. The same weather
conditions exist in Arizona also.
''This condition of the deciduOus fruit
crop is most disastrous to the Southern
CRlifOrnia growers. because many of them
will have absolutely nothing TO sell this
year. But the trees are now leafing out
and getting their usual appearance, sO
that with u good rainfall during the com
ing season we may hope for full crops
another year, except in such orchards AZ
have beee killed or seriously injured by
three years of drOuth."

Process Butter.

Process butter is q comparatively new
competitor Of creamery butter, and it is
made in the following manner:
Old country butter of various degrees of
rancidness and color, smell and appear
ance as to be unstable for direct con-
sumption, is thrown into tank sur
rounded with water at q temperature of
100 deg. F. or over, and melted. When
the mass has become thoroughly melted
the vat is skinned, leaving the butter
fat at the bottom. 1t is now removed to
another vat similar in construction to the
first, where the mass at this stage OF the
process has very bad odor; the next
step is to remove this disagreeable and
disgusting smell. This is done by pump
ing the fat up in a pipe, by means of q
rotary pump, and discharging it into the
vat again through q strainer, which al
lows 1t to fall into small streams. The
exposure of the fat to the air for some
time removes the odor. After the fat has
been sufficiently aerated in this manner,
It is ready tor the next step. This Ia the
adding of about one-fourth as much skim
milk as there Is fat. A perfect emulsion
Of the fat aud skim milk Is made by the
same pumping operation except that the
strainer is removed. The emulsion il
