duce the best dryers, but also to have
the best machinery in fitting the fruit
for the dryers. And now having read
what we have had to say about our
machines, read what other people have
to say about them
Jones Brothers--Fruit Dryers.
Centennial Cor. Boston Journal Of Commerce.
Among the many things of great interest and
practical utility exhibited in Agricultural Hall,
there are few which more nearly concern the
entire country, and especially the fruit-growing
sections, than the fruit-dryers from the firm of
Jones Brothers, Sturgis, Michigan. These
gentlemen have been at work for several years
with the determination to produce the best that
can be made, and their success has been very
great in fact of the most hattering charac-
Ter. The testimonials in their possession, from
parties now using their dryers for drying
fruits lumber, tobacco, ETC., attest the fact that
frst-class inventive and mechanical abilities,
properly directed, will eventually win against
all obstacles The firm make small dryers for
farmers and fruit-growers, and large ones for
factory use, which last can be built Of any re
quired capacity and capable of drying several
hundred bushels of apples per day, or their
equivalent in other things. Every one that is
at all acquainted with the immense fruit re
sources of this country, knows the great and
increasing importance of finding the most eco
nomical means of preserving the same. Their
method of drying by the process of s'rapid hot
air evaporation" simply amounts to taking
the watery constituents out so quickly that the
solid portion is left in condition to keep for
any length of time, and there is no doubt that
eventually this process will supereede and do
away with very large share of the immense
canning business now carried on so largely in
our country.
The Journal Of Commerce gave a very favor
able notice Of this machine as it appeared at
the Cincinnati Exposition, two years ago, and
am glad to know that the prediction of the
great merit of the Jones Bros. dryers has been
fully substantiated by the test Of time and that
the silver medal awarded them there has been
followed by the first premium wherever exhib-
ted and their successive triumphs have been
ftly crowned by the award Of the diploma Of
highest merit at the great International Exhi-
bition Just closed. Not only did their inven-
ton meet with the highest approval from the /
Jury of award, but the commissioners from i
Australia to the Exposition, having decided /
that the Jones Brothers dryer was superior to /
any other, have purchased one to take to their
own country, their example being followed by |
several other foreign commissioners also. And |
now having called attention to a very merito- /
rious invention, it remains for any of our read |
ers who may be interested and wish to know
'urther about the matter to correspond with the |
firm Of Jones Brothers at their office in Sturgis,

air chamber of the furnace where a
little fuel raises it few degrees in
temperature, when it is again passed
through the fruit by this means we can
economize in fuel, and yet, at Che same
time. we have the degree of moisture
in the air under perfect control at all
times by means Of a valve in the cir
conference of our fan which we can
open at pleasure for the discharge Of
the moist air, fresh air being taken
into the circulation by means Of the
outer one Of the two fans which are
placed upon the same shaft and run
by the same pulley. The fruit is
placed when first cut in the high tenn
perature, next the furnace, and moved
gradually away from the furnace to-
ward the fan during the process Of
drying, thus getting it in a lower tenn
perature to prevent danger of scoreh-
ing. Hand holes in the sides Of the
dryer enable the operator to examine
the fruit at any stage of the drying
process, while a thermometer shows the
temperature within. A blast pipe is
also attached to the furnace by means
Of which the fire may be famed, the
current Of air being controlled by
damper.
9th. 1t is much less liable to take
fire than an upright dryer This is
obvious when it is remembered that in
the upright dryer the fruit is placed
directly over the furnace in which case
bits of fruit are often falling down upon
the hot furnace becoming crisp and
finally taking on fire the sparks ascend
igniting the dry wood above. Moth
ing of this kind can happen in our
horizontal dryer In brief we claim
that it combines the essential elements Of |
a perfect dryer. We wish to make no
disparaging remarks about any other
machines in the market, but what we
wish is to have it clearly understood /
that we believe we have the best ma
chine ever offered to the public for
drying their fruit. We intend to have
the dryer stand upon its own merits.
We wish therefore to state enphatjcally /
that a0e are ready to place 1t IN competi-
ton aoith any dryer that can be produced
and # It does not proue superior to them
aue ask no pay for 1t. These dryers are /
rapidly superceding all others for the
drying of fruits, vegetables, lumber,
tobacco, drugs, clothes, &c, &c.

| horizontal dryers, and the result Of all Of
our extended experiments is the demon
ssration that our horizontal dryer with
our exhaust fan attachment is far supe-
riOr to any other style of dryer in the
market. Someof the reasons for itssupe-
riority may be briefly named as follows !:
1st. Being horizontal it can all be
placed upon one floor, thus saving cost
in the erection of "a building in which
to operate it.
End. Its compactness and the fact
that its size can be increased to give
any desired capacity without interfer-
ing with the perfect workings of the
dryer.
3rd. Rapiday and uniformity of dry
ing. In this dryer we draw the air
rapidly through Che drying chambers,
from the air chamber of the furnace,
edgeaCise of the trays upon which the
fruit is spread, drying both surfaces Of
the fruit alike and drying with a uni
formity upon different portions of the
fruit tray which is not attainable where
the current of heated air is taken up
through the fruit from below. The
reason Of this is obvious. In the last
mentioned case, the air currents will
pass up through the fruit where they
meet the least resistance, this will Of
course be where the fruit is spread
thinnest upon the tray, the result be-
ing that the fruit is dried unevenly
which causes more or less asserting
and endangers the scorching of the
fruit where the currents of heated air
circulate the freeest. This difficulty
is avoided by taking the air rapidly
through edgewise Of the trays. It is
also obvious to anyone that with this
rapid current Of heated air we can dry
much faster than can be done in a slow
natural current. As an illustration a
windy day will dry the mud up quickly
while day of the same temperature
if the wind does not blow it dries up
much more slowly. II is allOap d
aCindy day inside our dryer.
Attn. We are much more indepen-
dent of the states of the weather. A
damp heavy atmosphere prevents OBJ
tanning good draft where a natural
current is relied upon. We are max
ing uniform circulation every day re-
gardless of the weather.
4th. We can return any portion Of
the air that has been drawn rapidly
through the drying chambers, 10 the

The present magnitude Of the fruit
crop in, this country has become SO i'm
mense that there is no question of such
vital importance to the fruit grower as
GLOW shall | best preserve and mar
ket my fruit n High prices for fruit,
and consequent large profits derived
from its production in former years,
stimulated many to engage in this
business, to enlarge their orchards and
to plant new ones, until in some por-
tions of the country whole sections are
devoted almost exclusively to its cul-
ture. The general depression of the
times has been such for two or three
years past as to cause a decrease Of the
consumptive demand for such luxuries,
while the supply has been increasing.
The result has been that in many in
stances the large portion of the crop
has been left to decay upon the ground,
while the portion that was marketed in
view of the expense and loss by decay
while getting to market yielded but
meagre returns. A notable illustra-
ton Of this was to be seen in the States
Of Delaware and Maryland, in the year
1875. The best estimates place che
number of baskets of peaches marketed
from these States during that year at
about eight millions, while about an
equal amount rotted upon the ground.
Here we see a loss of eight millions of
baskets Of fruit which could it have
been preserved would have found
ready market during the year in places
where such fruit is not grown. This
fruit dried, would at 124 cts. per ID.
Ca price below the average for nice
evaporated peaches) have brought the
snug little sum of about S4,000,000.
The drying Of this surplus fruit seems
to be the only feasible plan for its pre-
servation. This greatly reduces ex-
pense Of marketing and lengthens the
time in which it may be consumed. 1
To produce a perfect dryer, one that
should have large capacity, that should
do its work well, and yet be within the
reach of fruit growers has been our
constant study for two or three years
past, and at last we have the proud I
satisfaction of knowing that our efforts
have been crowned with success. We
have experimental with upright dryers
upon natural current; with .
inclined dryers depending upon ma
ural current; with upright dryers de- |
pending upon fOrcibLe blast and with |

MEssRs. JONES BRos.- Gentlemen After Civ
ing your Patent Dryer a test fer several weeks.
we are pleased to report that its workings are
entirely satisfactory We believe that it COM
bines the true scientific principles of perfect
dryer. We wish you the abundant success
that your invention merits.
Very truly yours,
HAGNER Drug MILLING COMPANY
In conclusion we have to say that
the marked superiority of our dryers
over others in the market has caused
such a demand for them wherever
known that we have been compelled to
increase our facilities for their manu-
faeture, and we are now prepared to
fill orders for any Of the different styles
named. We wish to especially enforce
upon the minds of our patrons the i'm
portance Of ordering yoH machines at
once. The necessity for this will be
seen when you remember that it takes
time to get the material together, and
build such large number Of machines
as will be required of us this season.
We register the orders according to
the date upon which they are received
and shall fill them in the order regis
tered. AS there are contingencies vet
to arise as to whether there will be a
full crop of fruit this season, we give
you until the 25th of May, or if desired,
until the 1st Of June to countermand
your order for a dryer, should the fruit
crop fail. By ordering your dryers
promptly, therefore, you take no risks,
and have the advantage of having
your orders first ON the list to be filled, |
should you need them, and at the same
time you do US a favor by enabling us
to form some kind of an idea Of the
number that will be required of us so
that we may be prepared to furnish |
the machines when needed without de-
lay. We deliver the machines on
board of cars, and attend to the put
ting up Of our large factory dryers free
of charge. Our prices being much
lower than other frst-class machines
having the same capacity as ours, our
terms are cash or approved banka5le
notes. The past record of our dryers
is such that we feel warranted in say
ing that we have machines far supe-
rior to any Others in the market We
therefore invite your careful investiga-
tion Of our dryers before purchasing
elsewhere.
