A FRUIT EVAPORATOR. 



THE G. H. Grimm Manu- 

 facturing Co., has in- 

 vented a n evaporator, 

 especially for fruit and vege- 

 tables ; a low priced machine 

 which any fruit grower could 

 safely invest in. We always 

 grieve over the amount of fruit 

 which wastes in our orchards 

 and many times we are tempf 

 ed to invest in a fruit evapor- 

 ator of some kind, to save it, 

 but the price of the evaporator 

 is the bug bear. The cooking 

 stove size has six trays, giving 

 7 square feet of drying ser- 

 vice, and affords a capacity 

 of two pecks of apples in 12 

 hours. No. I has capacity of 

 2 to 3 bushels of apples per 

 day, N02, 3 to 5 bushels. No. 

 3, I etc 15 bushels, and No. 4, 

 18 to 25 bushels.
