Reports Of Analyses of Extracts.

Following closely on the results of the
analysis of medicines at the state labora-
tory of hygiene, Burlington, in which
many medicines, some of which are man
ufactured in this state, were found to be
wrongly labelled, comes the report from
the laboratory OF the analysis of extracts
for the past few months. These comprise
extracts of vanilla, lemon, wintergreen
and peppermint.
In most cases these favoring extracts,
some of which are manufactured in this
state, have been found to be much below
standard and sdulterated. For instance,
vanilla extract, which is the alcoholic ex-
tract of the vanilla bean, with or without
sugar or glycerine, has been found to con
tain extract of the tonka bean which is
much cheaper, while at the same time it
gives more pungent odor, and a pre-
dominating taste over the vanilla, but
lacks the delicate taste and aroma OF the
true vanilla. About 80 per cent of these
samples of vanilla were found to be adul-
terated in this manner, although part of
them were labelled to contain coumarin
Of tonka.
Many lemon extracts, which should
contain not less than five per cent OF lem
on oil, we're found tc contain much less
than this, while the extract OF winter
green, which should contain not less
than three per cent OF wintergreen oil,
was found in many cases to contain oil
of sweet birch and in one sample Of this
extract neither was found. while others
did not contain the required per cent OF
wintergreen oil.
Essence OF peppermint, which should
contain three per cent of peppermint oil,
was found to contain much less in many
cases and in others only just enough to
give the extract a slight odor. Most of
these extracts..are put up in two-ounce
bottles, and many samples were found
much below measure.

The Poultry Industry.

1t is fact not generally known that of
all farm products poultry stands fifth in
value. 1t is estimated that the cash de-
rived from the sale of poultry and eggs
amounts to half billion dollars annual
~. Farmers, however, are only begin
ming to realize the profits that can be OBJ
tanned from a well-cared-for flock of hens.
1t is doubtless true that many could more
than double their present gain if they
gave a little more attention to the feeding
problem. Guy II. Parker OF Middletown
Springs, Vt, writes of the way he in
creased the egg production of his fowls ::

A Good Motto for Savings Banks.

The Randolph Herald and News, the
leading newspaper in eastern central
Vermont, believes that "every dollar in
vested in Vermont is good motto for
savings banks. Here is what it says
"a million dollars in deposits"
EVERY dollar invested in Vermont"
" Never loss by poor investment" Any
one of these would be a good motto or
trademark for a savings bank. All three
apply to ex-Gov. c. s. Pages Lmoille

of Hyde Park.
This bank pays per cent compounded
semi-annually on deposits of 800 or
more.

Hood River Product Goes to

pERFECTMETHODs OFPACKING
No Orchardist Allowed to Pack His Own
Apples = Great Care is Exercised :
Methods of Cultivation Allow Of
Apples Attaining Perfect Growth, Etc.

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. 23.--Six hund-
red boxes Of the finest apples grown IN
the Hood River district have started
this week on 10000 mile journey to
Vladivostok, Siberia. Carefully wrapp-
ed, packed and boxed, this fruit is expect
al to reach its remote destination, via
Puget Sound, Vancouver and Japan, in
perfect condition. 1t is probable that
no other fruit product Of American
orchards is shipped SO great distance
So perfect are the methods Of select
ing and packing those apples that should
there be defect in this or any other
shipment it can be traced Immediately
10 the orchardist and packer responsible.
Nothing but absolutely perfect fruit Is
SLOWED to go out of the state with
Hood rivers name on the box. Barrels
are long ago abandoned. The apples are
graded, an placed in uniform rows,
busheI Of from "a to l2S apples to the
BOX. All packing is in the hands OF pro-
fessionals entirely independent OF the
growers, who more often than not sells
mis- crop on the trees and has no further
control over it.
No orchardist is allowed to pack his
own apples. even if he wants to do so.
The apple growers union attends to
that. and their men are under orders to
reject all fruit that shows the slightest
bIemish. So great is the confidence
built up by this rule that prices ranging
from $3.50 to $50. The methods OF
Hood River apple growers are unique in
This respect.
A soil OF volcanic ash and a climate
perfectly suited to fruit growing were

Last season one orchard reported only
90 defective apples out Of 1000 bushels
So great is the care exercised by the
Hood River growers, however, that y
acres is considered to be as much as one
orchardist can look after properly. But
the returns per acre are so large that
there in no complaint in regard to the
income derived, (which runs above Sl5,,
900 year from these tacts. Seven
hundred dollars an acre is considered an
average return.
Open cultivation with the space be.

floor is the approved method followed
throughout this section. This allows the
trees to derive the maximum amount OF
moisture and aourishment from the soil.
Small or defective apples are picked be-
fore maturity in order that the healthy
fruit may reach its best development.
