the pits extracted from imported cher
ries. were processed in this way 1t is
estimated that they would yield $780,
600 pounds of fixed oil. worth in the
neighborhood of twenty cents a
pound. The best quality of this fixed
oil is extracted from the kernels in
hydraulic presses. The shells OF the
pits are first cracked in a mill and the
uncrushed kernels separated out with
sieves. The oil is then pressed out
from the meats. In a laboratory ex-
pertinent the kernels yielded 21 per
cent OF fixed oil under a pressure of
2.750 pounds to the square inch. On
commercial scale. however. with
presses equipped for heating the kerr
nels under pressure. It Is believed that
80 per cent or more can be obtained.
The oil also can be obtained by grind
ing the pits and extracting by means
OF solvents.
Volatile Oil Second Product.
The volatile oil. the aecon1 product,
remains in the pressed cake after the
fixed oil has been extracted by pres
sure or by solvents. The volatile oil
is then secured by chemical means
and distillation. In the experiments
tie oil was obtained at the rate of
nearly one pound for every 100 pounds
of residue treated. II is estimated
that 5000 pounds of this volatile oil
could be obtained II all the cherry
pits handled at canneries could be
used. The value of this by-product.

ExPERIM ENTS
Teach Things Of Value.

Where one has never made the ex-
pertinent of leaving off coffee and
drinking Postum, 1t is still easy to
learn something about it by reading
the experiences of others.
Drinking Postum is a pleasant way
out of coffee troubles. A Penn. man
says:
MY wife was victim of nervous
ness, weak stomach and loss of ap-
petite for years; and although we re-
sorted to numerous methods for re-
lief. one of which was a change from
coffee to tea, it was all to no purpose.
1--WE knew coffee was causing the
trouble but could not find anything to
take its place until we tried Postum.
Within two weeks after she quit coffee
and began using Postum almost all of
her troubles had disappeared as If by
magic. 1t was truly wonderful. Her
nervousness was gone, stomach trou.
bic relieved, appetite improved and,
above all, nights rest was complete
and refreshing.
This sounds like an exaggeration.
as 1t all happened SO quickly. Each
day there was Improvement. for the
Postum was undoubtedly strengthen
ing her. Every particle OF this good
work is due to drinking Postum in
place of coffee" Name given by Pos

establish new industry in the cherry
packing districts of the North Allan
tic. North Central and Western states.
The specialists, however. have not
yet carried their work to point
where they can say that the convert
ing of this juice and the cherry pits
would be profitable side industry for
the ordinary or smaller cannery. In
cases where a number of Gamers are
operating within a reasonable distance
ever. believe that the waste products
could be sent to a central cooperative
or other plant at small cost ana there
utilized to advantage. Studies. how
ever. are being carried on to deter
mine whether means cannot be de-
yised for making these waste products
profitable also when handled on a
small scale.
Some time ago there was similar in
vestigation of the use OF peach and
apricot pits for making oils and
meal. and commercial enterprise
has been established in California for
dealing with these products. The de-
partment has published a bulletin on
this subject and also one dealing with
the utilization of raisin seed from
the seeded raisin industry. 1t was
found that many tons of raisin seed
had considerable fruit adhering to
them which could readily be turned
into a very desirable raisin sirup for
the use of confectioners and others.
After this pulp had been used 1t was
found that an oil useful in the arts
could profitably be pressed from the
seed. and experiments are under way
to determine whether the crushed
seed could not be used to advantage
in feeding stock.
The following description of these
products. and methods which have
been developed for making them. are
taken from professional paper $50.
