MISCELLANEOUS. 



The Fruit Evaporator. 



Witliiii It few years the evapoi'iition of fruit by im- 

 lirnvL'il processes, uiulcr Mic stimulus of the current 

 lii^h prices for the product, liiis received mucli at- 

 i.iitiou. Anieriean evajtorated fruits have j^aiued a 

 ^reat reputation in Europe, and now constitute au 

 .iiiportunt item in commerce. Tiic demand, marlict 

 iTnl price within tlie hist year has added new interest 

 iiid ini]i<irtance to the business. 



I'crlia|i8 the most sifrnilicant lactinthts connec- 

 tion is, tliat sim|>ler and cheaper, yet i)liilosophical 



■evaporators iiave been constructed, and are now 

 goinir into use as an auxiliary to the farmer and 



• orchardist. Fruit irrowers should closely invcstijrate 

 and turn t<^ account upon their own premises much, 

 if not all, of tlie fruit that usually goes to waste or 

 is sold at unreinunerative prices. The fact that 

 raisins are sold here for 10 cents per pound, after a 

 carriage of thousands of miles, and evaporated 

 pared peaches is worth 2.5 to 'iO cents per pound, 

 suggests at least investigation. 



Seeds and Plants. 

 We would call the attention of tiiose of our 

 readers who coutempljite purchasing seeds or plants 

 during the coming season, to the advertisement of 

 Peter Henderson & Co., New York, now appearing 

 in our columns. Peter Henderson, tlie senior mem- 

 ber of the lirm, is known far and wide as a horti- 

 cultural writer and authority. His books, "Gar- 

 dening for Profit," "Practical Floriculture," and 

 "Gardening for Pleasure," are now in the hands 

 of thousands. The green-house establishment of 

 It his firm covers three acres in green-houses and 

 employs upwards of fifty hands. Millions of plants 

 are shipped by mail or express annually to every 

 State and Territory. Their seed warehouse is the 

 most extensive in the city of New York, and every 

 order received is certain to be tilled with goods of 

 the best quality, and as they are producers as 

 well as dealers, "everything for the garden" will 

 be sold at low rates. Feb-3m 



"Bo-Peep " 



This exquisitely wrought steel plate engraving, by 

 the well-known artist, J. A. J. Wilcox, from a 

 painting by that world famous German artist, 

 Meyer Von Bremen, is one of the most beautiful 

 and artistic engravings ever published. A mother 

 and her child are away from the dusty town for an 

 afternoon's recreating in the ".Sylvan Wild" of Ger- 

 many; golden pages are added to life's book of 

 "Happy Hours." It is a genuine steel engraving, 

 and so excellent in subject and body that its pos- 

 sessor can never outgrow it — become he or she how- 

 ever a'sthetic in art. Printed on 32x28 paper. Price 

 53.(10. Published by R. H. Currau iV: Co., 23 School 

 street, Boston, Mass. Apr-It. 



The Cooley Creamer. 



This method of "deep-setting of milk" is coming 

 into so general use, that at the recent dairy fair 

 in New York, it was not shown as a "novelty," 

 but took its place as a common and indispensable 

 adjunct to the dairy. With a Cooley Creamer a 

 ■dairyman is entirely independent of the weather, and 

 his product is uniform at all times. It is in this, as 

 well as in its convenience, that the Cooley process of 

 setting milk commends itself to all who make but- 

 ter. 



From our foreign exchanges we infer that it has 

 been quite extensively introduced into use in Great 

 Britain. — Albany Country Oentletnan. Feb-4m.
