WARSAW HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 357 



But here is the report, which gives a full statement of the case: 



Your eoiuniittee. apjjointed to confer Avith a citizens' committee 

 in relation to estal)lishing an t'va|)oratin<^. cannin<i^, cider and jelly 

 making house, would respectfully report as follows: 



The season is rapidly advancing, and unless the enterprise is very 

 soon i)ut in shape it will be impossible to make the canning depart- 

 ment a success, as to secure the l)est results will require contracts to 

 be made with our farmers and gardeners for large quantities of toma- 

 toes, beans, peas, sweet corn, etc. 



There also seems to be some doubt in relation to obtaining a 

 practical jelly-maker. We would therefore suggest that for the 

 present elTorts be contined to the evaporating and cider making de- 

 partments, with the expectation of adding the canning, jelly and 

 vinegar making dejiartments when it may seem desirable. The cost 

 of establishing this ])<)rtion of the business will be about as follows: 



Eiisine S SOO 00 



Power Press, extra heavy 800 00 



Two Evaporators 1,500 00 



Pump, Shaitinp:, Belting, etc 300 00 



Scales, Tanks, Apple Boxes, etc 300 00 



Building, say 1,000 00 



Total $4,700 00 



Parties with this equipment, which can be managed without an 

 ex})ert. can certainly do a ]U'ofitable business, as they will be ]u-epared 

 to go to orchardists and buy the entire products of their orchards, 

 juitting the largest and best fruit on the market, which will always 

 bring good prices, using the next grade for evaporating, and the 

 small, inferior ])oi-tiou for cider. 



The principal drawback we have met with iu making sales of 

 cider has been that many dealers and consumers have objected to the 

 taste imjiarting by lioiling. But we now feel assured that we have 

 gained that knowledge that will enable us to put cider upon the 

 market with safety, tive or six months in the year, without boiling 

 or using any deleterious drug, and that will be as harmless as soda 

 water or lemonade. 



The sam])le on the table, to which your attention is called, has 

 been on tap nearly four months, and as will be observed gives very 

 little evidence of fermentation. 



This manufacturing enterprise is of too much im|)()rtance to 

 both town and country to be longer neglected, and it is to be hojjed 

 that our caj)italists and fruit-growers will unite in putting it in im- 

 mediate operation. A. C. Hammoxd,
