THE LANCASTER FARMER- 



III 



MISCELLANEOUS. 



The Fruit Evaporator. 



Within a few years the evaporation of fruit by im- 

 proveii processes, under ttie stimulus of tlie current 

 liiL'li prices for tlie proiiuet, lias received nuicli at- 

 tention. American eva|K>rated fruits liavc ;;aincil a 

 great reputation in Europe, and now constitute an 

 Important item in eoninierec. Tlie demand, market 

 anil price wittiin the last year has added new interest 

 and importance to the business. 



Perhaps the most siirniticant fact in this connec- 

 tion is, that simpler and cheaper, yet philosnj)hical 

 evaporators have been constructed, and are now 

 poiii}.' into use as an auxiliary to the fariniT and 

 orchardist. Fruit growers should closely invcstiiratc 

 and turn to account upon their own pretniscs much, 

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

 is sold at nnreniuncrative prices. The fact that 

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

 carriage of thousands of miles, and evaporated 

 pared pcaidies is worth 3.5 to 'M cents per pound, 

 suggests at least investigation. 



Seeds and Plants. 

 We would call the attention of those of on"" 

 readers who contemplate purchasing seeds or plants 

 <luriug the comini;- season, to the advertisement of 

 Peter Henderson it Co., New York, now appearing 

 in our columns. Peter Henderson, the senior mem- 

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

 cultural writer and authority. His books, "Gar- 

 dening (or Protit," "Practical Floriculture," an-l 

 "Gardening lor Pleasure," are now in the ban J* 

 of thousands. Tlie green-bouse estalilisbmcnt of 

 this firm covers three acres in green-houses and 

 employs upwards of fifty hands. Millions of plants 

 are shipped liy mail or express annu.iUy 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 he 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-3ra 



"Bo-Peep." 



This exquisitely wrought steel plate engraving, by 

 the well-known artist, J. A. J. Wilcox, fi-.im a 

 paintiner by that world famous German artist, 

 Meyer Von Bremen, is one of the most beautiful 

 and artistic engravincs ever published. A mother 

 and her child are away fr-om the dusty town for an 

 afternoon's recreating in the "Sylvan Wild" of (ier- 

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

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

 and so excelleut in subject and body that its pos- 

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

 ever aesthetic in art. Printed on 2.ix'28 paper. Price 

 $3 00. Published by R. H. Curran & Co., 3-3 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 unilorm 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 Oenlleman. Feb-4in.
