Prepare to Yake Care of Your
Fruits.

The indications at present are very |
favorable for a general variety of fruits
in Tennessee, especially in Warren and
many other counties. Of course it is
not positively certain that some disaster
may not yet happen to some varieties,
but at present the prospects are good
for an abundant crop of almost every
kind of fruit, including the blackberry,
whortleberry, plum, cherry, grape,
peach, pear, and apple, in all their va
rieties.
The question most important to the
fruit growers, is how to utilize all Of
these fruits so as to realize the greatest
profit at the least cost of labor and ex-
pense, Several gentlemen have talked
freely with us on the subject of evapo-
rating their fruits. Some of them are
large distillers, and have been accus-
toned to making their immense crops
of fruit into brandy. They say they do
not want to distil if they can make
their fruits as profitable any other way.
They say distilling is laborious, I'M
pleasant, and after paying the reve
nues and other expenses of manufac-
turing, there is but little net profit left.
This is doubtless the experience of a
large majority of distillers in this
country. To those who have talked
with us we have unhesltatingly recon-
mended the exchange of the distillery
for the evaporation. We certainly
would not advise any man to act con-
trary to his own interest. We desire
to see every honest man engaged in
legitimate business, and especially the
. honest, hard working farmer, prosper
Gus, and would not advise unless rea
sonably certain we were correct. W.
have unhesitatingly recommended evap
y grafton as not only more pleasant anC
y less expensive, but more profitable thar
! distilliug.
With all the lights before US, we say
to every farmer who has any fruit o
! any consequence to get an evaporato
in size and capacity in proportion to tn
, extent Of his fruit crops. If it is to-
small business for some of our far
mers of large notions and pretentions
let them turn the business over to thei
wives and children and they will man
. age it, and manage it successfully. TIL
. truth is, many of our wives are bette
8 managers than we are, and go for a
there is in thing, especially if the
:. themselves are to have the proceeds O
fair proportion thereof. We spea
. from experience.
G In recommending the evaporator W
Y will state that we are not prepared t
n say what particular kind or make is tn
n best and cheapest. We are not a
agent for the sale of evaporators, nc
are we yet sufficiently advised as t
T. what kind will do the work best and 6
So least expense. This is Gu stiou fc
At those who desire to purchase to dete
Is mine. Nearly all of them are goo
'e and will doubtless DO good work, bl
+ this is question for each purchaser
OF determine for himself. AS heretOfol
er suggested, it might be well for the fru
r. growers, at least those who desire
81 purchase evaporators, to have NEE
lie ing at some early day and discuss tt
y question, and if possible arrive at acO
In rect knowledge of what is wanted ar
Il. purchase together, so as to get the vel

Sc freights. Whatever we can do to t
e. cilitate purchasers we will do me
Isl cheerfully. We are anxious to see d
u process of evaporation fully tested,
y the use Of which we can save near
re all our fruits from the earliest to t
OF latest.
