Sour, or Bitter, Orange
Makes a Palatable Jelly

G PECIALISTS of the Bureau of Chemis-
- try, of the United States Department
of Agriculture in the course of expert
ments have observed that the hitherto
useless fruit of the sour or bitter orange
can be made to yield a highly palatable
Jelly which promises to afford a use for
a large amount of this wasted fruit. This
fruit is too bitter to be eaten raw.
The chemists, however. found that the
unusually bitter skin removed and with
the addition of twice as much sugar,
would jell into an amber-colored product
not quite so bitter as bitter orange mar
malade but having some of the charac-
teristic flavor of that conserve.
The method of making the jelly Is de-
scribed as follows:
Take all the pulp of the orange, includ-
ing the seeds. Add to 1t twice its volume
of water and boil 1t until the pulp falls
to pieces. Strain the mixture through a
cotton or canton flannel jelly bag and add
to the strained juice twice as much sugar
by weight as there was original fruit
pulp. Boil down this mixture until 1t
reaches the 'jell point" Put while boil
1n& uUL lulO ClCdu 6luooOo ohu oSoA IL
same as Is the practice with other 1ellies.
The chemists recommend the following
test as a simple one to determine when
fruit sirup has reached the "jell point:
Make a thin, flat stick or a small pad
die, about an inch broad, and white this
down to a straight edge. Dip the paddle
or stick into the jelly mixture and re-
move it. Hold the end down, and If the
mixture has reached the telling point, 1t
will be noticed that the liquid will not
drip off in drops but will flake off; that
Is, a strip of jelly will fall off from the
paddle in one mass"
The soul orange has been used extern
sively as a stock on which to bud the
commercial citrus fruits. 1t was intro
duced into the Gulf States by the Spanish
colonists for this purpose and during the
intervening years has spread considerably
by natural seeding, as it is a very vlgor-
Gus tree and grows particularly well in
low, moist ground.
There is a considerable qauntlty or
fruit from these trees which has hitherto
been of little or no use and the chemists
believe that the publication of the process
for converting the fruit into jelly will en-
able owners of sour orange trees to 40
some profitable preserving and possibly
may lead to the making of the product on
a commercial scale.

Careful Filtration Good to
Remove "EelS" From Vinegar

VINEGAR makers who have been
troubled with the nematode known
as "eels' have written for remedies to
the United States Department of Agricul-
ture, and in response the departments
specialist suggests that the "eels" may
be removed from the vinegar by flltra-
ton, as the eggs and larvae and all forms
of the eel are too large to pass fine
filters. Coarse filter paper may be used
for this or sand put in a receptacle with
a cloth or other porus bottom.
1t is always easy to test the filters, by
saving out a little Of the filtered vinegar
and allowing it to stand for a few days,
when, If still eel-infested, the eels will
make their appearance.
1t will be found advantageous, in ex-
aiming filtered vinegar, to use some sort
OF centrifuge, an apparatus somewhat
similar to the Babcock milk tester. In
this way a relatively large quantity of
vinegar can be quickly tested for eels.
These centrifuges are made by a large
number of firms for various purposes,
and the cheaper forms, such as will be
suitable for this purpose, are not expen-
sive. The operation is very simple-di-
rections will be furnished by the manu-
facturer.
Vinegar cells always come from eggs
or larvae of other cells. These exist in
nature in orchards, finding sustenance
in decaying fruit which goes through al
cohollc and acetic formations, as In the
case of manufactured vinegar. When the
cells are introduced in the manufacture
Of vinegar, 1t is usually through the use
of rotten or imperfect fruit.
Once the cells are in the works they
collect in any part where there is suf-
ficient stray vinegar to furnish them with
nourishment. Any %crevice, even of the
most minute character, may furnish them
an abiding place. Hence all such c~revices
or collecting places should be abolished.
1t is useless to expect vinegar to re-
main free from cells unless the establish
ment is kept perfectly clean. The watts or
other receptacles in which cells have been
found should be thoroughly disinfected by
heat, when it is not working. This can
be done, either by using team or boiling
water which should be applied c~opiously
through a pipe, or in case Of the water,
with ladies', to all the surfaces and crew
ices where cells might accumulate.

Study Is Made of Helpful
and of Destructive Birds

THE biological survey has studied the
] economic status of birds, largely
through the method of analyzing the food
in their stomachs to determine whether
their feeding habits were helpful or de-
structive to agriculture. AS a result of
this study, II birds were added to the
lists of bird enemies of the boil weevil,
making a total of GA thus far discovered.
In the matter of the alfalfa weevil, As
species of birds as we'll as frogs, toads
and the salamander were found to feed
upon this beetle. The most active en-
emies Of the weevil among the birds are
the Brewer blackbird, the Western mead
ow lark, the valley quail, and the English
sparrow. OF vertebrate enemies other
than birds, the Rocky Mountain toad
renders good service in destroying breed
ing adult insects in Spring and larvae
later in the year.
An examination Of the stomachs of
600 birds seems to indicate that birds are
OF no value as enemies of the full-grown
range caterpillars. Mammals, p%articu-
larly the skunk, seem to be the import
ant enemies of this pest.
In addition, the bureau made investi-
cations of the economic relationships of
the birds Of Porto Rico and, in co-opera-
ton with the Smithsonian Institution,
studied the birds of Panama.
Study was given also to methods Of
attracting birds and encouraging them to
build nests and live about human habita-
tons. A Farmers Bulletin telling how to
build attractive bird houses and attract
birds in other ways, is now in course of
preparation.
The bureau also has given much atten-
ton to a study of bird migration, and is
completing a bird census.
During the year permits were issued
for importing 1882 birds, among which
were 368,67 canaries, 36,760 cartridges
and 414S pheasants. There was a notice
able increase in the importation of par
tridges, as a number of states, including
Iowa and Oregon, are experimenting in
the introduction of these game birds for
restocking purposes.

During the calendar year 1914, the
Forest Service reforested 1914 acres of
burned over land in Oregon. TO do this
required the planting of 100000 trees.
1t is expected that three times that many
will be planted out during 1916.

SECRET AT AVONDALE
 zoo IS REPORTED

Cold and disagreeable weather again kept the Sunday crowds away from the Avondale zoo yesterday, but. in spite of the weather the few who did venture forth felt repaid for their trip.
 The animals at the zoo are apparent ly better reconciled to their surround fngs than they were last summer and they can be seen in many unique and interesting natural poses. They appear now to rather anticipate the visitors. many of them gazing about with an eN- pression of real satisfaction on their faces when a visitor pays any especial attention to one of them.
 It was stated yesterday that there is a real secret out at the zoo which no one will learn until later The report. however, is to the effect that there is to be a visit of the stork to certain families of the Avondale zoo world and the results of the visit may prove exceedingly interesting to the boys and girls. Ono of the biggest attractions at the zoo last spring was the arrival of new llama.
 The park has been put in trim shape and is ready for the first spring crowd that the weather man will permit to venture forth
