pressed down on one side it will sink 

 to the bottom of the barrel. The live, 

 active mother of vinegar, \vhen collect- 

 ing, appears as a thin or mucilaginous 

 gelatine-like mass, and is rapidly re- 

 producing the ferment yeast that is 

 making the vinegar. It is not neces- 

 sary in all cases to use this mother of 

 vinegar to start the process of fer- 

 mentation. It is a good plan, however, 

 to use small quantities of it for placing 

 in each barrel of cider to start the 

 process of fermentation. If this is not 

 done a great many different kinds of 

 bacteria will develop in the cider, and 

 not all of these will tend directly to the 

 manufacture of acetic acid, which is 

 the valuable acid in vinegar. The 

 home process of vinegar manufacture 

 is slow, but easily handled, and can in 

 a small way be carried on very satis- 

 factorily. — 0. M. Morris, Horticulturist. 



Washington Horticultural Inspector 

 Reports 



The report of the District Horticul- 

 tural Inspector for the State of Wash- 

 ington, giving a statement of the car- 

 loads of fruits and vegetables used by 

 Seattle, a city of about 300,000 people, 

 is very significant, and one that should 

 be studied by all fruitgrowers and 

 truck gardeners of the Northwest. At- 

 tention is called to the fact that Seattle 

 consumed 727 cars of apples, and of 

 oranges, lemons and bananas Seattle 

 consumed 1062. WTiy? Why do the 

 apple growers of the Northwest allow 

 the consumption of citrus fruits to ex- 

 ceed the consumption of apples? It is 

 a matter for serious thought. The 

 apple is the "King of all Fruits," and 

 certainly can be supplied from the 

 Northwest by the orchards within a 

 stone's throw of Seattle far cheaper 

 than bananas, oranges and lemons, 

 that have to be shipped long distances.
