A FTER ONE »\V’N USE of tlie 
A®, SUPERIOR HAY SPREADER no farmer 
will ever part witli it. 
FAMILIES desiring to avail themselves of the Am¬ 
erican Fruit-Preserving Powder (ns heretofore 
extensively advertised in the Am. Agriculturist ) for pre¬ 
serving the various kinds of Fruit, etc., for winter use—in 
large jars of whatever kind, without forming a vacuum or 
making them air-tight, and with whatever quantity of sugar 
desired to make them suited to the taste or use—can pro¬ 
cure it from respectable merchants in almost every district 
of the U. S. and the Canadas. And such as have heretofore 
sent direct to me for it are urged to get it from tlieir mer¬ 
chant. If lie has not got it, he will get it; if ho will not, and 
they send direct to me for it, they must order at least half-a- 
dozen packages—cash with the order—price $5—five dollars 
for six packages. 
FRUIT-GROWERS desiring to apply the Spear & 
Worrall method ot preserving fruils, etc., to preserve 
their surplus fruit for the winter market, can make special 
arrangements, and are invited to send for particulars. 
This method provides for keeping all kinds of Fruits in 
quality superior to canned fruits—in large jars of whatever 
kind or size, and in wooden kegs and bbls.—so cheaply, as 
to admit of tlieir selling at two-thirds (%) the price of 
canned fruits. 
And for BAKING and COOKING purposes, with 
little sugar, aud bbls. to keep the fruit in as directed, they 
may be sold as low, or even lower, than common dried 
fruits; and they will prove in every way superior to dried 
fruits for every purpose for which dried fruils are used.

June and July, 1872, or try the PRESERVING-POW¬ 
DER as prepared for family use, or address
