have analyzed fruits and a few fruit products tell us that well 

 matured Baldwin apples will average about 14 percent sug- 

 ar. Therefere a medium sized specimen, weighing six 

 ounces will contain .84 ounces of sugar. This is equivalent 

 in food value to about four teaspoonfuls of granulated 

 sugar. Hence the saying "Eat an apple and save a biscuit." 



When well ripened Baldwins are dried they contain 

 around 60 percent sugar. There are plenty of old folks who 

 tell us that the only real apple pie is made from dried apples 

 Does any one doubt the relative value of green apple and 

 dried apple pie or have any question as to the relativ'C 

 amount of sugar necessary to make them palatable ? 



Sweet cider contains about one and a quarter pounds 

 of sugar per gallon. Sweet cider is a delicious drink also, 

 but rather uncertain in its keeping qualities. There are 

 however, many ways of concentrating this rather dilute 

 food so that it may be kept indefinitely. 



When sweet cider is concentrated by boiling to the 

 point of jellying we have cider .jelly which is a little more 

 than 50 percent sugar. While rather acid in flavor it is 

 eaten as a relish by many who knoAV it and value it. An 

 Drdinary eight ounce jelly glass of this cider contains a 

 little more than four and one half ounces of sugars. 



Sweet cider may have its apple acids neutralized and 

 when concentrated by boiling will give a beautiful reddish 

 brown syrup with a flavor not unlike the juice that exudes 

 from the baked apple. When this syrup is concentrated to 

 11 pounds per gallon it will analyze 60 percent sugars. This 

 syrup offers the fruit grawer an opportunity to manufac- 

 ture a portion of bis unmarketable fruit, the product to be 

 used in making other fruit products and to be used as a 

 table syrup. 



Apple butter is the most delicious, appetizing and nutri- 

 tious of all apple products. When properly made from 

 sound, ripe apples and clean sweet cider (add cider syrup if 

 you want a real sweet product) it is a dish fit to set before 

 any one. Every pint of sueh a butter contains the equivalent
