The vines are pulled in with a hook and are hit with a bat, so that the berries fall into the box at the bottom. The process of evaporation is much like that for apples, except that no sulfur is needed, and that, if a kiln is used, the floor is usually covered with muslin cloth. It requires about three to four quarts (four to five pounds) of berries to give one pound of dried berries. Literature. Bulletin No. 100, Cornell Experiment Station, and Farmers' Bulletin No. 213, Department of Agriculture, discuss different types of evaporators in detail and describe the methods of raising and evaporating raspberries (Fig. is adapted from the latter); Bulletins Nos. 226, 229 of the Cornell Station give statistics and .some discussion of apple- evaporating in New York; Yearbook, United States Department of Agriculture, 1898, p. 309; Farmers' Bulletin No. 291, Evaporation of Apples, H.
