Something for ourFruit Growers

In 1872 began the business of drying
fruits by evaporation. Apples were at
first eIperimented with, and it was
found that while the old-fashioned pro-
cess of drying apples in the u de-
prived them of a great part of their
substance and flavor, they could be
sufficiently dried by evaporation to keep
a year al a moderate cost, with but a
small loss in weight compared to the
loss incurred in the old fashioned pro-
cess, and with almost no loss at all in
flavor. By 1874 the business of e1-
porting evaporated apples amounted to
|, 200, 900 pounds. At present We ex-
port to Europe about 5000, 600 pounds
Of e~vaporated apples. The process is
extremely simple The fruit is ''cored''
and sliced into pieces one sixteenth of
an inch In thickness; it is then exposed
to sulphur fumes, which arrest ali fer
mentation, and then to a dry and hot
blast of air which reduces it to about
half its original weight. The sulphur
fumigation prevents the fruit FROM be-
coming dark, and after drying it is al
most as white as when first cut. Simple
as is this process, it costs about twice
as much as drying the fruit in the sun,
but such is the saving In weight and
flavor that it is preferred, and evapor-
ated apples sell to-day in the European
markets for fifteen cents a pound. As
the original cost of the apples is almost
nothing, the profit goes to the farmers
and middlemen who prepare and deal
in them. The best quality of evapor-
,tol onrlo- o,n naatal ~ hove contain
ing about fifty pounds, the cheaper
grades being packed in barrels. An
old produce dealer interested in the
European export trade said this morn
ing that, In view of the astounding
magnitude of the export trade in food
products, it would not be surprising TO
hear of attepts at COMPRISING or dying
every product of the country. The
same process as that applied to apples
has been used with some success with
peaches. and some berries that can be
grown cheaply, and as the export of
dried food products increases the i'm
port is constantly decreasing The
raisins from California promise to drive
all foreign raisins out of our markets.
There are vineyards of hundreds OF
acres in Placer, Fir Dorado, Los Angeles,
San Diego, aud other counties, given
up to growing and drying grapes, partly
by evaporation and partly by sur heat.
Another recent use of the evaporation
process applied to food products con
Germs the preparation Of Goldfish for
Europe and especially for tropical eli
mates. The business has been estab-
l.shcd in this city about six months
The persons who use the process assert
that ninety per cent. of the weight of a
fresh goldfish consists Of water. By
evaporatlng The matter until the fresh
product becomes a sort OF fine dry meal,
a substance is obtained which can be
packed in boxes and exported, one
pound of the evaporatei cod being
equal to ten pounds of fresh cod, SO far
as nutrltive properties go. The com
pany VII CD is engaged in the business
has fac cries on the coast of Maine and
at Gloucester, Mass.

Look AFTER 1.-TWO subscribers
last week mentioned that they had lost
several numbers, but did not blame us,
as the bundle of papers came regularly
to their Office. The trouble was, hat
the Postmaster, having a store or mill,
disliksd to deny his customers from tax
ing out the paper to read; and often
they we're passed from hand to hand for
several days, and finally torn up, or
carried off by some loaGng negro, or
thoughtless white. "And a. some of
those who borrow papers out Of the
boxes are friends of mine," said one gen.
tleman-"I don't like to complain, and
order the postmaster to stop 1t. But he
ought to do 1t IN all cases and then /
should not hare to g,re otense by dong
1t myself"
You are right, sirl The Postmaster
has no more right to hand your paper
than he has to pass around your postal
cards, or your letters, for the amusement
of the crowd. Your paper is your pri-
vate property. If you are an honest
man you have paid for it, or expect to
do SO, at your earliest ability. After it
reaches you, you can do what you
please with it, but until it reaches you,
the Postmaster is responsible for it's safe
keeping. He is paid for keeping it /;
and has no more right to open and read
it, than he has to open and read one of
your letters. This is not only the Law,
but it is Justice. Suppose you send 81
to a Raleigh tailor for a coat pattern, or
to a lawyer for a legal Document, and
when it reaches your office the Postmas-
ter allows a dozen by-standers to take it
out, and get the free use of it, before
you do, who have paid for it, would
that be fair to you, or to the lawyer, or
the tailor, who sent it for your use only?
Now, the law says Postmasters shall
NOT lend papers out of their offices.
And the Postmaster General has issued
an order saying that any .Postmaster
violating the law, shall be liable to re-
moval.

Suspicion has pointed to a white
