DRIED FRUIT.-The New York Tribune
thinks that the time is coming when the
fruit evaperator will be as indispensable to
the farmer as the cidcr-mill and the cheese
factory. 1t builds its prediction upon the
rapidly-increasing foreign demand for this
fruit. The preservation of fruit by me-
chanical process-canning and evaporating
seems to be an untried experiment in
Europe, and the demand for it over there
has increased more than four fold within a
year. Thus, the exports of it for the year
up to the lst Of this month amounted to
$2,5OO,O0O, whole Of the amount shipped for
the year ending June Ist, 1876, was only
100000, according TO the Tribune. But
much of this was canned goods, it must be
remembered. This is surely hopeful out
look, for the makers Of the machinery, if
not for the preservers of the fruit But
should the export demand continue to
grow it will not be long, we imagine, before
the machinery will be sent over instead OF
the goods, and the manufacture be carried
on there as here. Until that time our fruit
packers may do we'll with as much Of their
goods as they can put up, but after that
they will have to look out for an over
stocked market The early bird will catch
the worm in this business, we think, if it is
yet to be caught. We publish the Tri6unc'l

THE Rual Ncio Yorker thinks it will be
no trouble for Delaware to grow sugar beets
successfully, but we will find it rather hard
work to manufacture the sugar profitably.
The State should have made the appropria-
ton for the machinery for the extraction of
the sugar rather than for the growth of
the beet from which it is to be extracted.
The province of Quebec, Canada, has hit
upon the plan. The authorities have voted
a bonus of $4,000 to the person or corpo-
ration that will put up factory.
