EVAPORATING APPLES.

Iu fruit districts, sui-li as lu western
New York, win-re aiile growing la
done ou a large scale, there are large
evaporators lu every towu where farm
ers tuuy Hell their windfalls. In some
eon sous when the crops are lartre and
prices low entire crops are shakeu
from the trees and sold lu this wan
ner, often the jtiwer realizing us much
tor the fruit as to pick und ship It
iu barrels.
I There are also small evaporators
made for farm use. These are made
f wood, with a system of racks, fitted
one above another, upou which to put
the sliced apples. A stove below fur
nishes the heat, and ventilators are
made in the top of the building by
which the heat is regulated. These
dry houses are made of different sizes,
and from eight to forty bushels of
apples may lie dried in twenty-four
hours. The dilhVulty with these farm
evaporators is to obtain the necessary
belp with which to do the work. The
work cannot be so economically done
as wi'h the la rue evaporators, and they
are g.iinu out of is.- to a larae ctent.

sixteen tons of white stock and five
tons of chops and waste. With an
other furnace room and drying floor,
several more tons of chops and waste
could be dried. The chops are apples
too small to be pared and are run
through without paring. The waste
consists of cores and parings.
It requires four tons of coal a week
to run the two furnaces. The chops
and waste will usuully pay for the
coal. The summer and autumn apples
are too soft to be of any value for
evaporating. About Sept. lu he begins
on the greenings and earlier winter
varieties. When running up to full
capacity it requires ten people to han
