EvapOrating Apples.

We had pleasant call, lately, from the
manager of the Nonotuck Evaporated Fruit
Company at Easthampton, Massachusetts,
Mr.. l.. S. james, who is also agent for the
Quinnipiac Fertilizer Company of Con-
necticut. Mr.. James showed us some very
fine specimens of evaporated apples, which
he said he sold readily at twelve and a half
cents pound by the quantity. This style
of dried fruit is long way ahead of the
old-fashioned "dried apples" being as white
as fresh cut fruit and soaking up and cook
ing so as to be indistinguishable from fresh
apples. Mr.. James company are fitted up
to handle about fifty bushels Of apples q
day, and the whole expenses for new build
ings and machinery was only 800. They
have dried about two thousand bushels, eact
bushel making five and half pounds Of
dried fruit. We understand there is ar
evaporating establishment ia Shelburn, Yer
mont, that is quite successful. There is 9
great demand for this evaporated fruit fol
expectation. 1t seems that there ought tt
be chance for a number of these establish
ments in Vermont. The cost of drying il
not over three cents pound.

Western Mortgages.

Frank Wilkerson writes as follows in an
exchange: ain one county in the Golden
Belt of Kansas, probably so called because
Jay Gould has the district in his grasp and
wrings gold out of its poverty-stricken in
habitants by high freight charges on his
railroads, there are $3.50 one-quarter Sec
tions of land. ! know the country we'll,
having shot prairie chickens and rode after
hounds over the most of it. There are at
least 600 one-quarter sections of worthless
land in the county, land that has not been
settled on, and that will never be cultivated.
This leaves 2,2S0 farms of 100 acres each
that are occupied OF these, 1000 are
mortgaged to the total amount of 81 100000.
The farmers of this county are paying
Sl50,000 per year interest money on land
mortgages alone. The amount of interest
paid on chattel mortgages, machine notes,
store bills, and on delinquent taxes in this
county is at least equal to the amount paid
on the land mortgages. In the same county
