turc cane, thus preventing any ten
depcy TO rust. The side- are made
Of sheet tin and are constructed in
such a manner that when placed on
top of esch other they fit closely to-
gcther, something in the manner in
which the joints Of a stove-pipe are
fitted. Between each seive there is
a space Of about three inches i'm
which the fruit is placed while dry
ing. The lower part is made of
sheet iron. Altogether when the
six sections are placed one upon
another, the dryer is complete, and
in the smaller size is about Is inches
in height. The larger size is about
81 inches in height. The present
manufacturers of these machines
for the larger part OF Indiana, are
+. Johnson & Co., 108 North Della
ware ST., indianapolis. a manu-
factory has been fitted up in the
upper part of their building, and
they are now prepared TO turn them
out in any quantity that may be re-
CURED. One of the great points in
this dryer, is its price. The larger
size only costing so ut retail, while
the smaller size can be obtained for
IS. Now when it is remembered
that from s. to IS worth Of work per
week will be done by one of these
machines on an ordinary cooking
stove, and that, too, without re-
quiring any extra help in the
kitchen, some idea can be obtained
Of their utility. At this rate but ten
days use will pay the entire price
of one. So simple is the entire
machine that it is adopted to Il stove
of any description upon which there
is simply room for it to stand. To
show how popular this invention is
where it has been used we will give
the following from letter from III.
Bell & Co., of Knightstown, Ind.
He says;
Two months since +. Johnson &
Co., manufacturers of your Univer-
snl Fruit Dryer, sent us one Machine
to have tried In this neighborhood.
We did so; the result is we have
sold fifty machines.
From this it will be seen that this
could be made quite an item in the
trade Of our country merchants. OF
course as on all articles of this kind
there is Pood profit to the party
who buys at wholesale. A number
of the hardware men of Indi-
annapolis, took it into their trade
last fall and winter, and quite a
number were sold, and SO thorough
~ were they impressed with its util-
ity that they, with others gave it
the following unqualified endorse
ment:
We, the undersigned, merchants
and business men of Indianapoli *,
would state we have sold the Uni
versal Fruit Dryer, patented by Is
rael Hogeland, August 18th, 1869,
and regard it as the only practical
Family Fruit Dryer in use, and
most cheerfully encourage its intro
duction. Its price placing it in
reach OF every family; its COZ struc-
ton adapting it for garden, orchard
and field products.

of this kind.
Those who have dried fruit in the
sun, know the Inconvenience Of
that process. Besides sun dried fruid
seems to undergo Il change which
Jctract5 much from its value.
While it takes from four TO six days
to dry by the sun, by this process
but from six TO twelve hours are con-
Thus the fine qualities of
the fruit are not changed rs in the
sun process. To show the differ
ence in value i'm fruit dried in this
way and that dried by the old pro-
cess we give the following, which
is from Messrs. Vancamp & Jack
son, the proprietors of the Indi-
annapolis Fruit House. They say:
sin our sales of fruit, the apples
dried on your Dryer, bring readily
two cents more per pound, or fifty
cents more on the bushel than kiln
dried fruit" Much more might be
said of this truly valuable in
but the space we have
to these articles will not
allow 1t. Many OF our lady readers
might sell quite Il number Of these
Dryers in their neighborhood with
out going out Of the house, by hay
ing one on their kitchen stove. Mr..
is willing to pay parties
who will sell in this way. BY
