EFERRING to evaporators and evaporating fruit, a subject which has received some attention in the Horticulturist, I am of the opinion that it will pay every farmer who has an orchard to own an evaporator of his own, not that he will make lots of money out of it, but because it is one of the things necessary to make an orchard more profitable. To illustrate :—two years ago a strong wind blew down a large quantity of my fruit early in the fall. I could not sell it for anything and I decided to evaporate it, and did so. In season I sold my unevaporated fruit and also my evaporated wind-falls, and the latter netted me more per bushel than my best unevaporated fruit. The evaporator I used had a capacity of seven to nine bushels per day. I believe many poor evaporators have been sold. I bought one several years ago, which disgusted me, and in this connection I beg to say that a fruit grower here, who has used different kinds of evaporators, has invented a good evaporator, suitable for farmers and fruit growers, which is simple and cheap. Some of its good points are economy in fuel, quick evaporation and first quality of product, no waste of heat by insert- ing, removing, and adjusting trays. If you want nearly an even heat over all the trays you can have it. If you want a stronger heat on part of the trays than others you can have it, or if you want nearly all the heat on the one tray, or on any number of trays,
