potassium nielabisullite, a solid salt of 

 sulphurous acid. About two to four 

 ounces of this salt dissolved in a little 

 water may be used per 100 gallons of 

 fresh juice. Sound, clean apples re- 

 (piire less than dirty ones; less is 

 needed in cold than in warm weather. 

 In fact it is possible and would prob- 

 ably be better practice in cold weather 

 to allow the juice to stand without any 

 sulphurous acid because fermentation 

 will not start in very cokl weather 

 in twenty-four hours if clean apples 

 are used. 



The settled juice may next be drawn 

 from the sediment. It is then ready for 

 sterilization into barrels. The steriliza- 

 tion by heat kills all of the molds, 

 yeasts and bacteria in the juice and 

 coagulates a considerable amount of 

 the vegetable albumens in the juice, 

 which, on settling out in the barrels, 

 aid in clearing the sterilized juice. A 

 pasteurizer or sterilizer made to ster- 

 ilize the juice in a continuous stream is 

 best, as in this way the juice is sub- 

 jected to a very short heating and 

 therefore is less apt to acquire a cooked 

 flavor. The temperature of the juice 

 that flows from the sterilizer should be 

 between KiO to 170 degrees Fahrenheit. 

 If much above 170 it will have a cooked 

 flavor; if much below IGO it may con- 

 tain living mold spores or yeast cells 

 and spoil in the barrel. Such ster- 

 ilizers are constructed of a tin or tin- 

 lined pipe through which the juice 

 flows and which is surrounded by a 

 steam jacket to heat the juice. By 

 varying the rate of flow and steam 

 pressure, the desired temperature of 

 the outgoing juice can be maintained. 



The hot juice is run directly into 

 sterile barrels. The barrels of hot juice 

 must be bunged immediately. This 

 may be done by use of a clean bung 

 sterilized in boiling water and covered 

 with a piece of clean cloth. The barrel 

 should be rolled on its side temporarily 

 to sterilize the bottom of the bung with 

 the hot juice. The barrels used for 

 the juice must be new or clean, sound 

 barrels that have been used for juice 

 only. Wine barrels that have been 

 used for wine, vinegar, etc., are unsafe

Haul Your Fruit with an 

 International Motor Truck 



Many fruit growers have long been using International Motor Trucks, 

 and have since handled their fruit much more economically and profit- 

 ably. Buy one, and you, too, will save time and money, and so make 

 more money. 



Handle your fruit rapidly, at the right moment, with this durable, light 

 running truck. It costs little to buy, and less to keep than horses and 

 wagons to do the same work. Spend less time on the road with your 

 fruit and your general hauling. 



The solid tires cut down tire troubles. The motor is simple. The 

 truck is easy to operate — one lever controls the car. It needs no atten- 

 tion and causes no expense when not working. You can have any style 

 of body — the one most desirable for hauling fruit. 



Our International truck catalogues are interesting and full of facts 

 that may mean money to you later. Drop us a card and let us send you 

 information.
