DAYTON'S IMPROVED METHOD OF
PRESERVING FRUITS,

FREsH FRUIT AND VEGETABLES are not
Il merely the greatest luxuries enjoyed by man.
kind they are absolutely essential to the perfection
Of health, and may be regarded as one Of Gods
best gifts. AS, however the season Of their pro.
ducton is BRIEF it has long been a matter Of deep
interest to devise some method Of preserving them,
in all their freshness, long after their season of
rpeness had passed. Various methods have been
devised to effect this end, to each of which aome
serious objection has been laid. 1t is believed how
ever, that in the apparatus here presented will be
found at once the cheapest and most effective
method Of keeping these and other articles fresh,
ever discovered
DAYTON'S EXHAUSTER.
1t has long been desideratum to find somo
cheap, simple and etfectual method of preserving
Fruits, Vegetables, &c. so as to keep them ft for "
domestic use number Of years. The expense Of
preserving with sugar is a serious objection Free
access of air causes the decomposition of vegetable
matter. 1t is obvious that If Fruits and vegetables
can be kept from contact with air, this effect will
not take place. To fleet This, the attention has
heretofore been directed To some method Of sealing
the can, while heat alone has been relied upon for
driving out the air. This method has been attend
ed with many and serious objections, among which
are, the destruction Of the fresh flavor of the fruit
caused by 30 much heating, and the difficulty Of
aseertalnlng whether the cans are perfectly air
tight, after they are sealed. These difficulties are
completely obviated, and safe, reliable and cheap
method Of preserving Fruits and Vegetables is dis
covered in the EXHAUSTER 1t is so simple in
its construction and operation that any female can
use it; yet 20 substantial thata single instrument
will last family for many years, and serve 10 seal
up thousands of cans of fruit; while cans can be
manufactured by any timer at much less expenSe
than must be incurred to procure patent cans
sY Directions for preparing the Fruit, Vegeta-
bles, Butter, Eggs, &c, and for managing the Cans
or Jars will be furnished with the Exhauster.
rY-I have made arrangements with MIR. W. II.
GOODRICH, of Augusta, owner Of the Patent of
Dayton's Exhauster for this District, and am now
