Kxpevieiicecl Persons in Fruit-Drying 

 Recommend It. 



Dryiuj; Fruit and Vegetables; has be lome one 

 of the departments of labor and prolit among 

 the iudustrieeof California, and we invite Fruit 

 Growers to come and see our Champion Fruit 

 Dryer, and test it with any kind of fruit or veg- 

 etables before purchasing. 



This Dryer consists ol a sheet iron furnace, 

 from five to eight feet long, and two feet high, 

 with a partition nmning horizontally six inches 

 below tlie top, on the inside, the full length and 

 breadth of tbe furnace, except a space uf live 

 inches at the back eml. Beneath this pax'titiou 

 the fire is hept, the heat of which jiasses to the 

 back, and there turns in a range upward through 

 the five inch space, and passi's between the par- 

 tition and top, back to the front end of the fur- 

 nace and out of a chimney above the chest of 

 drawers. 



This arrangement completely equalizes the 

 heat at eaih end imd all alaug the top of the 

 fm'nace. so that no one drawer is, at any time, 

 hotter than the others. 



The attachment to hold the fruit for di-ying 

 consists of a hex or chest of drawers made wide 

 enough to set out on eoch side and end about 15 

 inches from the furnace, and it is inclosed with 

 tougued and grooved lumber, except space in 

 front for the furuiice and on each side for the 

 drawers to pass in above the furnace. This 

 chest is lined two feet high on the inside with 

 sheet iron, and twotiersof drawerecome in from 

 t^ach side, supported by pieces passing from one 

 side across the top of, and one foot above the 

 furnace to uprights on the other, and meet in 

 the center over the furnace. Tlic bottoms of 

 these drawers are made of wire cloth, on which 

 the fruit is laid for drying. Over the center of 

 each tier of drawers is a htde four inches square 

 in the top, with a slide to keep it open or closed 

 as the case may require, and through these open- 

 ings the hot air passes in a continuous current 

 from the furnace below. The space in front.not 

 filled by the furnace, is closed by apiece of sheet 

 iron fitted over and down on each side, and to 

 this piece there are two veutilaijorsat the side of 

 the furnace where the tire in hottest, to admit 

 air. These two are the only places where air en- 

 ters, and it is made very hot by the heat of tlie 

 furnace, as it enters and passes rapidly up thro' 

 thf fruit in the drawers, and out at the ventilat- 

 ors at the top. This arranyement kcetjs a con- 

 stant current of hot air passing through each 

 drawer, which keeps it in the most rapidly dry- 

 ing process. 



The chest of drawers is fi'om four feet higli to 

 as high as desired. The drawers occupy about 4 

 inches space in tlie hight of the chest, and are 

 about two feet deep, and 34 inches wide, and 

 hold 25 pounds of fruit. But fruit will dry fast- 

 er by putting in 12 pounds, and as it dries out a 

 little, double it up. The machice can be built 

 to have from 12 to 108 drawers, and will dry from 

 l(H)i) pounds to five tons per day, of green fruit. 

 Will dry iii'y kind of fruit or vegetables in from 

 one and a half to eight hours.

Iiivrnlors have often racked their 



hrainh to gift ni> a liraitical Pump that will raisi' 

 a column of water in a fontiuuous stream with, 

 out jerk or jar. causing sjreat strain uiion the 

 machinery and also unnecessary loss of frictit.n. 

 This (lifHculty has tiually been overcome by Mr. 

 H. H. TUTTLE, of San .Jose, in a* very simple 

 and efficacious manner. His invention consists 

 of aV-ombination of Three Plungers (instead of 

 one), working from a crank shaft in such a man- 

 ner that one of them i.s always lifting or lorcing 

 the column of water. On trial it is found to 

 work admirably, and will do more work with 

 the same power than any other Pump, and the 

 motion is always steady and smooth. 



Watters & Biggs, of San Jose, are manufactur- 

 ing these Puuips, and they are for sale at the 

 Excelsior Marble Works. The pump-box is of 

 'galvanized iron, incused in wood. The valves 

 are so constructed as to work with best ettV-<t. 

 These Pumps can be constructed of any capacity 

 to order, are suited to hand use, wind-uiill, horse 

 power or steam power; are cheap, strong, and 

 must be diu'able. The model of 2 >4-iuch stroke 

 only, the size of a water pail, raised 60 gallons 

 of water per minute. 



Capt. Joseph Aram, of San Jose, has one. and 

 pronounces it perfect. Persons interested are 

 invited to call at the Excelsior Marble Works. 

 Second street, and e\;nnine these Pumps, or ad- 

 dress. H. H. TUTTLE, San Jose.
