COfee0\'S CANNERY, CAL,i•
FORMA,
Tho surplus fruits of the Sae
Bernardino valley always find ready
market at the Colton Pauling Oo.
Leet season this eompaey handled
o ver 1,000 tons of green fruit, or
over 100 carloads, and bas given
employment to 350 men, women,
boys and girls. They have also
bought over 500 tons of rejoins in
the sweat box, from the growers, for
which they ;paid over $50,000 -.-in
packing and shipping the same,
have employed over 200 man and
women.
The company's site comprises
about two acres, the bindings being
situated un the corner of 1 and 10
streets. It has 250 ft. of railroad
traok connecting with the Southern
Pacific. which gives them facilities
for plating oars along the whole
length of the building. The struc-
ture is a one story brick and frame.
The trout of the brick portion is
need for offices.
All fruits are bought by the lb
and delivered at the door of the
factory, where each man's lob is
weighed separately and a receipt
given for the amount, cvliich, when
presented at the treasurer's office,
is cashed. The fruit is thou assort-
ed in different grades, both for ripe-
ness and size. This is done by a
very ingenious machine known as
the 'Jones' bruit Assorter." This
makes all grades uniform and in
proper shape to go into ,the, pre,
paration or cutting room where the
fruit is prepared and.put into . oaes.
One set of hands trim and peel the
fruit nicely, plane it in neat wooden
trays prepared for that purpose, and
from there it is taken to the pack-
ers, or those who fill it into the
cans -each one attending strictly
to his own business.
'1'he work of preparing the fruit
is done entirely by the piece or box;
the peckitlg may either be done by
day or by check. We are pleased
to note that all this work is done
by women and girls, with just men
enough to handle the bean' boxep.
The floors of this room, which is
40x80 feet, inclines both ways to
the middle to a well defined groove,
all of which ie arranged for frequent
and thorough scrubbing and deans.
ing. Running through the-niddle
of this room is a tramway with a
table on each side ; here the empty
cans are deposited, and Here the
fruit is put into them. Each one
is oarefully packed by skilled hands
and accurately weigbod—a pair of
scales properly balanced being plea -I
ed bet wean every two women for
that purpose.
These onus aro handled in trays,
Bolding from six to ten cans to the
tray. After br'iug filled tbey are
thou earried oft on this tramway to
the 'yruplilg tables at the lower
end of the room. Tho syrup is made
in galvanized iron tanks in the
second story of the building, and
conducted down to the syrup tables
by means of a rubber tube and fen
cat. Nothing is used in the factory
but the beet dry granulated shear,
The degree of syrup used runs from
25 0 to 45 ° according to the grade
of the fruit, and it is well known to
the trade in canned goods that pie
fruits are put up in water, only we
noticed that each can had letters
stamped on the top, and upon in-
quiry were informed that every can
was stamped before it was filled,
with the initial letter of the fruit it
contains. This was done with rub•
ber stamps and mdolible ink, the
object of which is to prevent mix•
ing the cans after they are filled
and capped—a thiug very bard to
prevent without some such mark
and which is very humiliating to a
canner when it does happen.
After the cans have all been filled
with syrup, they are wiped clean
on tap and the nap laid on. A
little soldering fluid ie than applied
with a delimit() brush ; they are
thee raatly for the soldering irons.
These may bo of many devices,
shapes and forms, by hand or by
machinery. In this f.'c.tory, how-
ever, they use what is kuowu 81 the
brats' and bit, with which ono man
can ea.p about 8,000 Daus per day ;
tine work, too may bo done either
by day or by piece work.
The cane pass into the bath-
room whore they aro cooked. Many
suppose the fruit is cooked before it
is pet leto tbo cans, as we have seen
our rvothere and wives do, but such
is not the ease as ,you see it has
found its way into the cooking room
for the first time, Now the Lana
aro placed in iron cages, about 300
at a time, and by means of a hoist
ruu by power, raised up and swung
around and lowered into a vat of
boiling water, where it is cooked --
boiled, as it were, like so many' po-
tatoos gi111 the skins on,
You would imagine beet the
water from the vitt would get in at
the little hole in the center of the
cap. 13ut the very instant the can
strikee the boiling water t•ie cold
rile will commence rushing out with
such force that 30 water eau get in, felled,
and when the can is heated through
and the cold -air exhausted, the
whole bath is taken out and this
vent bolo stopped with a touch of
the soldering iron ; tbon the can is
for the first time hermetically seal,
ed.
It then goes back into the boiling
water for the second time to be
cooked ; the whole time of cooking
is from ten to thirty minutes ac•
cording to the fruit,
The fruit is then run out into the
000ling room, whioh is a large com-
modious building, all under ono
roof, where it is scattered out to
cool—not more than two cane deep,
II@re it is allowed to remain till the
neat day, wbeu every can is tested
to see if any defective cans can be
found, This is a very ingenious
process and is done by tapping each
can with a bit of iron, a nail or
anything, and if a can is hit that
is defective ib will return an un-
certain Bound, not to be mistaken
by an experienced ear. No one is
BO reliable in this business as the
Chinamen. They seem to have an
ear peculiarly adapted to ibis busi-
ness. The cans are then piled up
regularly, each kind by itself, and
there they remain until the time for
labelling comes. This is done by
girls who lemma very expert at the
business.
The capacity of this cannery is
about 25,000 Dane per day. Having
about ewo acres of ground affords a
large dry -yard along side of the
works.This is a very, ,Valuable
adjunct to the cannery proper, for
besides doing It large business in
the drying, it enables the shrewd
and hong experienced man managers
to keep up the high grade of their
canned goods by turning everything
that will not pass muster into the
dry -yard.
