A LOW-PRICED EVAPORATOR. 



|E so often receive inquiries from subscribers about evaporators, and so 



few apparently are in use in Ontario, that we took notes of the 



Improved Evaporator, on exhibition at the World's Fair, by D. Stutz- 



man, of Ligonier, Indiana. It is to all appearance, simple, durable, and efficient. 



The largest size shown was the Farmers' Favorite, weight, 225 lbs., and [capable 



of evaporating four or five bushels of apples per day. 



It has twenty trays, 12 x 24 inches of surface each.

HOW TO SECURE YEARLY CROPS OF FRUIT. 



President Barry, of the Western New York Horticultural Society, in reply 

 to various questions says : 



" I think that the cultivation and fertilizing of orchards, notwithstanding 

 all that has been said and written about it, is not properly understood to-day 

 I believe firmly that if an orchard be thoroughly cultivated and well manured, 

 and the fruit thinned, and this method put in practice every year, we can have 

 a good crop of fruit. Those are the great secrets of fruit culture ; you cannot 

 put on too much manure nor keep the ground too thoroughly cultivated.
