An Evaporator Takes the Place of Old Method. Tho old way of drying npplos, peaches nu? other fruit In tho sun is not always desirable on account of the worms and bugs getting Into the dried product and also from the fact that much loss results from the un certainly of the weather. Thou tho fruit Is of better quality when dried In the evaporator. A few dollars' out lay and a little lime spent in the dull season, when other farm work Is not pressing, will be all that Is necessary to construct an evaporator that la equal In till the essentials to one that would cost many times Hint amount. One corner of some outbuli >ng prop erly nrranged with the heating stove to furnish tbe heat and you have the a uomkmadu l m ir DitiLii. beginning already, for you will have two sales already built, but It Would bo more accessible If constructed In the center of the room.

The stovepipe should be arranged In tin' form of a spiral so as to throw off as much beat as possible, and this may be accomplished by using com mon elbows and a few short joints of pi ie. Set tbe first elbow on the stove opening and turn the next one hori zontally, making at least one circuit of the compartment within n foot of tho top of tin; Btove, completing an approximate circle about three feet In diameter. Then tbe plpo may be car ried outside through a convenient opening ami run up. either on the In side of the main blinding or outside. Only one set of trays may be used in tills evaporator, ami theso will be hold in pl.n o by cleats nailed to the inside at stieb intervals as will allow the trays to slide one above the other and should extend from jusL above the eoll of pipe to the celling.
