MISCELLANEOUS. 



The Fruit Evaporator. 



Within a few years the evaporation of fruit by im- 

 ■proved proeeesee, under the etiniulue of tlic current 

 high priees for the produet, lias received much at- 

 tention. American evaporated frnite have fjaiucd a 

 great reputation in Europe, and now constitute an 

 Important item in commerce. Tlie demand, market 

 and price witliiu the last year has added new interest 

 and importance to tlie business. 



Perhaps tlie most siffiiificant fact in this connec- 

 tion is, that simpler and cheaper, yet philosophical 

 evaporators have been constructed, and are now 

 going into use as an auxiliary to the farmer and 

 orehardist. Fruit growers should closely investigate 

 and turn to account upon their own premises much, 

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

 is sold at unremunerative prices. The fact that 

 raisins are sold liere lor 10 cents per pound, after a 

 carriage of thousands of miles, and evaporated 

 pared peaches is worth 25 to 30 cents per pound, 

 suggests at least investigation. 



Seeds and Plants. 

 We would call the attention of those of our 

 readers who contemplate purchasing seeds or plants 

 ■during the coming season, to the advertisement of 

 Peter Henderson & Co., New York, now appearing 

 in our columns. Peter Henderson, the senior mem- 

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

 cultural writer and authority. His books, "Gar- 

 dening lor Profit," "Practical Floriculture," and 

 "Gardening for Pleasure," are now in the hands 

 of thousands. The green-house establishment of 

 this 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 Yorlj, and every 

 order received is certain to be filled 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-om 



"Bo-Peep." 



This exquisitely wrought steel plate engraving, by 

 the well-linown 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 engra^^ng, 

 and so excellent in subject and body that its pos- 

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

 ever [esthetic in art. Printed on 2:ix28 paper. Price 

 ?3.6o. Published by R. H. Curran & Co., 22 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 ofthe 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 Gcntletnan. Feb-4m.
