Apple Fruit of Many Uses.

There is no fruit that lends Itself to so many varied uses as the apple. It may be evaporated or dried and kept an indefinite period and then cooked in much the saiqe way as fresh fruit. There are also many byproducts. The juice is pressed and used according to its age and stages of fermentatipn as sweet cider, haro cider or vinegar. The whole apple and even the parings from the evaporators are used for apple butter, jellies, jams, etc., and in recent years the culls and cores from the evaporators have been dried and sold for $4 a ton for export to Europe and returned "to us later in the form of high priced “imported wines.”
