By-Product Possible.
Following extensive experiments be
gun last spring, the head of the fruit
. and vegetable utilization laboratory oil
the department of agriculture has ap
piled for a public service patent covering
} the making of a new form OF table syruf
: from apple juice. This patent will make
the discovery, which the specialists be-
ieve will be OF great value to all apple
growers as means of utilizing then
cuIs and excess apples, common prop
erty of any cider mill in the United
States which wishes to manufacture and
sell apple cider syrup.
The new syrup, one gallon OF which Is
made from seven gallons of ordinary
cider, is clear ruby or amber eolored
syrup of about the consistency OF cane
syrup and maple syrup. Properly ster-
ilized and put in sealed tins or bottles,
it will keep indefinitely, and when
opened, will keep under household con-
ditions az well as other syrups. II has
distinct fruity aroma and special fla
vor OF its own which is described as be.
ing practically the same as the taste OF
the syrupy substance which exudes from
a baked apple.
The syrup can be used like maple or
other syrups for griddle cakes, cereals.
| household cookery and as favoring in
desserts. The government cooking en-,
| perts are at present experimenting with
! il in cookery and expect shortly to issue
recipes for use of the new syrup in old
ways and for taking advantage OF its
special flavor in novel dishes.
The department chemists have already
produced over 10 gallons of this syrup
in their laboratories, using summer and
other forms OF apples. The success OF
the experiments has greatly interested
some of the apple growers and during
October a large cider mill in the Hood
river valley, Oregon. will in cooperation
with the government chemists, endeavor
to produce | ZOO gallons on a CONNER
eial scale and give the new product a
thorough market test by making il ae
cessible through retailers in limited

the product arises from the fact that /
the new apple cider syrup promises 10 /
give them a commercial outlet for vast |
quantities of windfall and other apples !
for which they hitherto could find no |
market either in perishable raw cider or |
in vinegar. Cider production. il seems, /
comes largely at one season of the year.
