A NEW SUMMED BEVERAGE Grapefruit Juice Easily Bottled—Simple Method of Making By-product. A simple method of bottling the juice of grapefruit for use in making acid beverages is advo cated by the department as a means of gaining a useful by product from hundreds of thou sands of cases of grapefruit which now are wasted. An in vestigation was undertaken at the urgent request of Florida grapefruit growers who reported that the market during the season would not take up a large proportion of the grapefruit crop, and asked the department to determine the possibility of utilizing the fruit or its juice in some profitable way. All that is necessary, accord ing to the Government's fruit specialists, is to bring the grape fruit juice to the boiling point in a porcelain-lined or enameled kettle, pour it while still hot into bottles, which then are hermet ically sealed. The juice when so handled will keep indefinitely, and provides a base for grape fruit-ade or other acid beverages having th? characteristic acid, somewhat bitter, flavor of the fruit. Experiments show, how ever, that it is highly important that the bottle be completely fill ed so that no layer of air be left between the top of the juice and the cork or seal. Where air in any amount comes in contact with the top of the sterilized juice it will cause the juice to change its color. In handling the juice it is particularly im portant that it be • kept from coming into contact with iron or other metals easily acted upon by acids. The investigators found, also, that it was possible to freeze the grapefruit juice into solid ice and then, by whirling the ice in a centrifugal machine, to take out a large part of the watei and leave the solids and flavoring matter of the fruit. This freez ing and concentrating of the juice greatly reduces the bulk and makes a product which can oe sterilized by heating and kept indefinitely. Care must be taken to keep the juice fi'Dm coming in contact with iron. Those who wish to make a clear juice may filter the grapefruit juice before it is heated by ad ding to it from 2 to 3 per cent, (about 3 ounces avoirdupois to the gallon) of infusorial or Full er's earth well washed with hot water. The mixture is then forced through a nonmetalic filter press and the clear juice reheat ed and boiled. With the freez ing process the juice is filtered after concentration, about twice UGH!

The chemists, in connection with this bottling of grapefruit juice, notify the public that the same process is not suitable for bottling the juice of oranges and lemmons, which will not retain their flavor if handled in this way. While as vet, as far as known, there is no commercial market forsterilized grapefruit juice, it is believed that many persons will find this juice, with the addition of water and sugar, a pleasant variation from lemonade or limeade. Those who like grape fruit should find the beverage inviting. The method is so simple that those in regions where grapefruit are cheap and plentiful can prepare this product on a small scale with ordinary household appliances. ; Using Cottonseed Meal In Place of Part |of The Corn In Feeding Horses | A reader says he is feeding •his horse corn fodder (blades) j and 30 ears of corn a day and wants to know how much cot tonseed meal he should feed and by how many ears of corn he can reduce the present ration. If the 30 ears of corn are of a size that 11- will make a bushel, then our reader is feed ing 15 pounds of corn daily; but it is more likely that it will take ! 140 ears to make a bushel of ' shelled corn, and in such case he is only feeding 12 pounds of corn. We suggest reducing the corn ration one-fourth and put ting in the place of this corn, 5 from one and one-half to two pounds of cottonseed meal. In other words, about eight ears of corn may be left out and from two to two and one-half pints of cottonseed meal put in their place.—The Progressive Farmer. 598,907 Pounds Of Leaf Tobacco Sold In April I Raleigh, May 12.—The total sales of leaf tobacco on the mark ets in this State for the month of April aggregated 598,907 pounds, compared with total sales of 1,- 753,536 pounds duing April, 1914, |Of the sales for April of this I year, 510,351 were first hand for I the growers.

From a report just issued by the State Board of Health, Clay county is perhaps doing the best work in registering all her births and deaths. For the first quarter of this year she leads with an annual rate of 4G.0 births per 1,000 population. Yancey is her close rival. O.iier counties do ing good work are Dare, with a rate of 43.4; Mitchell. 43.2; Mar tin, 41.6; dates, 41.2 and Madi son, 40.7. The counties showing the lowest birth rate are Craven with a rate of 11.8; Currituck, 12.2; Camden, 13.1; Robeson, 13.4, and Bertie 13.8. These counties, we must be- I lieve, have not awaked to the necessity of reporting all their ! births and deaths. Probably | they are not aware that the i Vital Statistics law of the State is not sleeping. Only within the last six weeks were twenty-five prosecutions made of doctors and : undertakers who failed to report births and deaths. That these | counties may wake up and not be caught napping, is merely a ! gentle warning. It will be remembered that Clay county has a population less than 4,000, but with a rate of 180 births a year, she will ! soon catch up with other cour.- | ties, at least in point of popula tion. At the above rate, Dare will increase her population dur ing the year 212, Mitchell, 392; Martin, 784; Gates, 432 and Madison, 820. Yancey will in crease hers 572; Graven only 312 and Currituck only 100. Clay and New Hanover report the greatest number of their deaths. Other counties report ing well are Vance, Wilson and Transylvania. Counties report ing the fewest number of their deaths according to their popu lation are Craven, Cherokee, Swain, Stokes, Pamlico and Watauga. A county reporting a low death rate and at the same time a low birth rate indicates one of two facts either that the county itself is at the point of stagnation or that its doctors, undertakers and midwives are not on their jobs as county officials. Soil Requirements Of The Apple. The statement that "a given variety of apple, for the most successfeul growth within its general climatic region, requires a certain kind or condition of soil" seems incontrovertible, in asmuch as it is so well substan tiated by orchard results under a ; wide range of conditions. The 1 reason why this should be so is ( not so easily stated. It seems to depend fundamentally upon the waterholding capacity, or rather | the mixture coefficient, of the soil. The capacity of a soil to hold capillary water, which is the only kind plant growth can use, depends on (1) the soil texture, meaning the size of the soil grain. (2) the soil structure or the grouping of these tiny grains into clusters, thus making it granular; (3) the amount of humus in the soil: and (4) the degree of soil tilth, which is a combined effect of the foregoing and tillage. Before the heat of summer be comes too great, you had better order that ice box. Any size you want at low prices. Remember that we can furnish the material to build that house also at saving prices to you. DAN RIVER LUMBER CO., Walnut Cove, N. C. tf.
