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 tempt* 

 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 1 2 

 hours. No. i has capacity of 

 2 to 3 bushels of apples per 

 day, N02, 3 to 5 bushels, No. 

 3, 10 to 15 bushels, and No. 4, 

 18 to 25 bushels.
