olives and Olive oil.

SPANS olive industry is increasing
In importance. One of the leading
branches Is the preparation of green
olives. The olives are put up in bottles
or kegs. To carry out the picking
process the olives are well sorted,
as only those which show no faults can
be kept. They are then placed for
several days in cold water, which is
renewed frequently. Then they are
placed in brine bath, which consists
of a salt and soda solution, and are
covered with the liquid. In some cas-
es different aromatic substances are
added to the bath so as to give spe-
cial flavor to the olives. Ripe or near
ly ripe olives are but little in demand
and are not consumed to a large
extent.
Extraction of olive oil has been car
ried out heretofore BY primitive pro-
cess, although improved machinery is
now being introduced The olives were
ground UP in horse mill before pres
sing. The ground olives were then
put in a lever press, using boiling
water for the extraction The pro-
cess is slow one and the olives need
to be stored on hand. for some time.
They are thus likely to ferment and
give an inferior quality of oil. 1t is
estimated that there are some 5000 or
1000 OF such primitive oil presses in
use in Spain at the present time.
After the extraction the oil is placed
in large earthenware jars or tin tanks
and is then filtered. In some cases
the air is kept from the oil by means
Of a layer of alcohol, which is placed
on the surface. The inferior grades
Of oil are used In soap manufacture.
The Monmouth inquirer., 1923-02-22

The various kinds of palm trees on
the island of Ceylon are in themselves
of great interest. and when their diff
ferent uses are explained person can
well appreciate how essential they are
to the natives in the low country Sin
galese districts From the sap of the
eocoanut palm the spirit he drinks is
distilled; the kernel of the nut is q
necessary element in his daily curry;
the milk" is the beverage offered to
every visitor to his domain; his only
lamp is fed from the oil; his nets
for fishing are manufactured from its
fibre, as is also the rope which keeps
his goat or cow from going astray:
while the rafters of his house, the
thatch of the roof and the window
blinds are made from it's leaf and
wood There is, perhaps. no product
in the world that is put to so many
and such profitable uses as the cocoa
nut palm, for, even before it is grown.
Its leaf ribs are tied together to make
brooms for sweeping and cages Tor
birds.
