The Fruit Evaporator. 



Witliin a few years ttie evaporation of fruit by Im- 

 proved procespee, under the etinuihm of the eiirrent 

 hi^'h priees for the [iroiluet, has reeeived nuieh at- 

 tention. Ameriean evaporated fruits have gained a 

 great reputation in Europe, and now constitute an 

 important item in trmimerce. Ttie demand, market 

 and price witliin t.lie last year has added new interest 

 and imijorianee to the husinese. 



Perhaps tlie most siirnitieant fact in this connec- 

 tion is, that simpler and cheaper, yet philoso[ililcal 

 evaporators have been constructed, anti are now 

 goinir into nse as an auxiliary to the farmer and 

 orcliardist. Fruit growers should closely investigate 

 and turn to account upon their own premises much, 

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

 Is sold at unrcniunerative prices. Tlie fact that 

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

 carriaire of thousanils of miles, and evaporated 

 pared peaches is worth 3.') to oO ceuts per pound, 

 suggests at least investigation. 



Seeds and Plants. 



VVc would call the .attention of those of our 

 readers who contemplate purchasing seeds or plants 

 ■during the coming season, to the advert i.sement 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 for Fiolii," "Practical Floriculture," and 

 "Gardening for Pleasure," are now in the hands 

 ■of thousands. The green-house establishment of 

 this firm covers three acres in greenhouses 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 filled witli 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-3ra 



"Bo-Peep." 



This exquisitely wrought steel plate engraving, by 

 the well-known artist, J. A. .1. Wilcox, from a 

 painting by that world famous German artist, 

 Meyer Von Bremen, is one' of the most beautiful 

 and artistic eugravings 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 ;esthetic in art. Printed on 2';ix'2S paper. Price 

 $3 00. Published by K. 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 ofthc 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 Gentleman, Feb-4m.
