DAISIES EVERY MONTH
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

In the mild climate of California
and some of the southern states,
daisies bloom all the year around. In
California these flowers grow very
much larger than those of the East,
as do all the Pacific coast flowers; but
they seem to lack brilliancy, and to
many persons are not as satisfactory.
Luther Burbank developed the
Shasta daisy to very large and beau
tiful flower, and this Is largely taking
the place of the Marguerite or Paris
daisy which has long been favorite
with Californians.
In some colder climates, of course,
it is impossible to keep daisies bloom

1.-THE fixed oil is the most important
by-product of cherry pits. It has =
golden yellow color and a pleasant
nutlike taste and odor. In character
it is so closely related to imported al.
mond oil that it is believed to pos.
sess similar possibilities in the com.
mercial manufacture of drugs, oils
and soap.
III the pits of all domestic cherries,
now thrown away at canneries, and
the pits extracted from imported cher
ries, were processed in this way it Is
estimated that they would yield $780,
900 pounds of fixed oil, worth In the
neighborhood of twenty cents q
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 mill and the
uncrushed kernels separated out with
sleeves. The oil is then pressed out
from the meats. In laboratory ex-
pertinent the kernels yielded 81 per
cent of fixed oil under a pressure Of
1850 pounds to the square inch. On
commercial scale, however, with
presses equipped for heating the ker.
nels under pressure, 1t Is believed that
30 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 second product,
remains In the pressed cake after the
fixed oil has been extracted by pres
sure or by solvents. The volatile oil
ts 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. 1t 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,

Columbus, N. M.-Everywhere that
the broad trail of the army leads, the

ticularly II the route of the troop

licit dispenser of the draft that
sometimes cheers is a hanger-on.
And he has million and one ways
to evade the regulations.
The bootlegger arrived in Columbus
about ten seconds after Uncle Sans
soldier boys. He did a, profitable
business, especially around pay day.
Some of the troopers, disgruntled be-
cause they were forced to remain here
inactive while their mates were play
ing hide-and-seek with Villa in the

their sorrows. Others celebrated their
good fortune when they were ordered
to cross the line.

Pegleg protested vigorously, but it

ter came the secret Of Pegleg's sue
cess at dispensing.
The leg was hollow, lined with tin,
and held at least half gallon OF

Much Juice 10 Wasted.
THE 10000 gallons of cherry juice
wasted each year in the canneries, the
experiments show, would, If collected
and treated, produce $4,000 gallons Of
desirable jelly or a large quantity Of
table strip, or could be made to fer
ment and produce alcohol. In the ex-
periments cherry jelly, bright red In
color and with q fruity odor. was
made by concentrating the cherry
Juice with cane sugar in vacuum.
A small amount of gelatin was then
added and the mixture allowed to
cool. Other processes in which the
concentrated Juice is heated with
pectin or fruits rich in pectin. the
investigators believe might produce
even better results.
THE juice also could be made into
some $4,000 gallons of an agreeably
favored table strip by neutralizing
the acid in the filtered juice with milk
of lime and concentrating it by evap-
Grafton and then settling or altering
out the lime compounds.

900 Gallons Of Juice Now
Thrown Away May Be
Converted Into jelly

Washington, D. C.-Sixteen hundred
tons of cherry pits, now a source OF
annoyance and expense to canneries'
can be made to yield two valuable oils
and also a meal for feeding cattle, &C.
cording to specialists Of the United
States department OF agriculture. In
addition, 10000 gallons of cherry
Juice now wasted in seeding cherries
can be turned into desirable jelly and
strip, or even into alcohol. A saving
of these valuable by-products from
cherry canning may make possible the
domestic manufacture of substitutes
for almond oil and bitter-almond oil,
now imported, and at the same time
establish a 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 q profitable side industry for
the ordinary or smaller cannery. In
cases where a number Of Gamers are
operating within reasonable distance
Of one another. the specialists, how
ever, believe that the waste products
could be sent to central cooperative
or other plant at small cost and there
utilized to advantage. Studies, how
ever, are being carried on to deter
mine whether means cannot be de-
vised for making these waste products
profitable also when handled on =
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 bulletin on
this subject and also one dealing with
the utilization of raisin seed from
the seeded raisin industry. It was
found that many tons of raisin seed
had considerable fruit adhering to
them which could readily be turned
into a very desirable raisin strip for
the use of confectioners and others.
After this pulp had been used it 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,

constituents of the kernel can be con-

identical with oil of bitter almonds.
