An Economical Fruit Drier. 
The business of evaporating fruitB has 
of late become a source of revenue on 
thousands of farms, the revenue coming 
from sources that were before neglected. 
The Cook-stove drier is the best and m»st 
successful implement in its line. By its 
aid large quantities of fruits and vege¬ 
tables can be successfully evaporated 
that would otherwise go to waste. Price 
$7 by freight; with a three years’ sub¬ 
scription $7 ; with a renewal and five 
new subscriptions for $9. 
Save the Juices. 
The Morgan broiler consists of two 
wrought steel sections each having con¬ 
caved or grooved bars with a deep chan¬ 
nel around the rim on the inside, which 
receives the juices. Two steel covers 
spread the flames, prevent grease drip¬ 
ping and cause fumes and odors to be 
drawn into the stove. Broils meats, oys¬ 
ters, fish, game, fowls, etc., and toasts 
bread perfectly. Price, $1; sent by ex¬ 
press prepaid in the United States; with 
a year’s subscription for $1.85, with a re¬ 
newal and a new subscription for $2.65. 
Burton’s Drenching Bit. 
□ The bit, made of iron, nickel-plated, 
consists of a hollow iron funnel on a 
wrouglit-iron tube, on which work two 
iron strap bits. When first the drench¬ 
ing bit is put into the horse's mouth, the 
funnel is close to the cheek of the animal, 
but as the head of the animal is raised 
the funnel assumes a perpendicular posi¬ 
tion, and the drench being poured into 
the receptacle, flows into the hollow bit, 
in the center of which is an aperture 
through which the physic passes directly 
down the animal’s throat. This is done 
without the least difficulty and the ani¬ 
mal receives its dose “ whether it will or 
not,” to the last drop. The animal's 
head is held in position by a rope which 
passes through an eye on the top of the 
framework of the bit. A leather strap 
or rope fastened to a couple of iron strap 
bits prevents the contrivance leaving the 
animal’s mouth, as it is secured around 
the head. Regular price $3, express 
not prepaid. Our price, with a year’s 
subscription, $3.25; with a renewal and 
$ new subscription, $4.

satisfaction. When ex¬ 
tended it is over 16 
inches,and, when closed, 
6 % inches in length. On

The moons of Jupiter 
can be seen with it. The 
telescope tubes are 
made from heavy pol¬ 
ished brass; the body is 
covered with morocco, 
making a thoroughly 
substantial instrument. 
It is achromatic; that is, 
does not blur the vision 
by a confusion of colors.
