Make Good Vinegar
From Orange Culls
Has Been Tried Out by United States
Department of Agriculture

Gull oranges, usually allowed to de-
cay, can be utilized by growers in
the preparation of orange vinegar,
very high grade product. 1t can be
used by growers families and
throughout communities where citrus
fruit is grown. Such communities are
now supplied with vinegar from apple
waste or grain. Nearly all citrus
growing regions are so situated that
this material has to be brought to
them from some distance. There is no
reason why orange vinegar cannot be
substituted wholly for the other prod
ucts, according to specialists of the
citrus by-products laboratory of the
United States department of agricul-
ture at Los Angeles.
Orange vinegar is easily made in
barrel quantities and is sufficiently
cheap to compete with cider vinegar
where there is much difference of
freight in favor of the orange product.
The following process has been thor

A Bit of Financial History.

The credit of the United States
was so high and unquestionable that
in 1900, two years after the Spanish
War, 2 per cent bonds were offered
at par and oversubscribed. This is
a financial performance no other
nation has ever equaled.
United States 4 per cent bonds in
1888 sold as high as 100 and in 1901
brought 139 rs on the stock market.
The United States has never de-
faulted on any of it's bonds. Not
one of it's bondholders has eve lost
a cent Of principal or interest except
those who voluntarily have taken
losses by selling their bonds in a
period of temporary price ..depres-
sion. One hundred cents on the
dollar, principal and interest, has
the United States always paid.
