endeavor to produce 1,000 gallons on a 

 (■(iiiiiiuTcial scale and give the new 

 product a thorough market test by 

 making it accessible through retailers 

 in a limited lield. The interest of apple 

 growers in the product arises from the 

 fact that the new apple cider syrup 

 promises to give them a commercial 

 outlet for vast quantities of windfall 

 and other apples for which they hither- 

 to could lind no market either in per- 

 ishiibU' raw cider or in vinegar. Cider 

 production, it seems, comes largely at 

 one season of the year, during which 

 the market is more or less flooded with 

 this perishable product. The bulk and 

 perishability of the raw cider, more- 

 over, the cider makers state, often make 

 it unprofitable for them to ship the raw 

 cidei' of one district long distances to 

 a non-apple-growing region. The mar- 

 ket for cider, therefore, has been largely 

 restricted in many cases to localities 

 near the area of production. No method 

 of sterilizing ordinary cider has been 

 found practicable, for the reason that 

 boiling cider at once interferes with its 

 deli(;itc flavor. 



With the cider mill able to make a 

 palatable, long-keeping table syrup out 

 of its apple juice, growers, it is be- 

 lieved, will be able to use all excess 

 juice for bottled or canned apple syrup. 

 The new s> rup, the siiecialists find, will 

 keel) indefinitely, so that the cider mak- 

 ers can market it gradually throughout 

 the year. The process for making the 

 syrup calls for the addition to a cider 

 mill of a filter press and open kettles 

 or some other concentrating apparatus. 

 The process is described as follows: 

 The raw cider is treated with pure milk 

 of lime until nearly, but not ([uite, all of 

 the natural malic acids are neutralized. 

 The cidei' is then heated to boiling and 

 filtered through a filter press, an essen- 

 tial feature of the process. The result- 

 ant liquid is then evaporated either in 

 continuous evaporators or open kettles, 

 just as ordinary cane or sorghum syrup 

 is treated. It is then cooled and allowed 

 to stand for a short time, which causes 

 the lime and acids to form small crys- 

 tals of calcium malate. The syrup is 

 then refiltered through the filter press, 

 which removes the crystals of calcium 

 malate and leaves a syrup with practi- 

 cally the same basic composition as 

 oi-(!inary cane syrup. Its flavor, how- 

 ever, and appearance are distinctive. 

 Calcium malate, the by-product, is a 

 substance used in medicine and is at 

 present selling for two dollars a pound. 

 It is believed that if calcium malate can 

 be produced in this way cheaply and in 

 large (|uantities, it can be made com- 

 mercially useful in new ways, possibly 

 in the manufacture of baking powder.
