Journal, | saw acres OF tomatoes
rot,ing in the field because IL was
not profitable to ship the earliest
and best tomatoes there are bush.
els of the latter ones that are n
total loss because no provision is
made for canning them
/ wish to tell the truck growers
and farmers as we'll. how they can
avoid this annual loss Gamers
can now be bought for SO and UP
They can be used on the ordinary
cook stove. or they can be run by
gasoline flame, or several ofthem
can be put on small, inexpensive
furnace. They are simple in con
s,ruction and easy to Operate, and
a book of instructions for canning
all kinds of vegetables and fruits
accompanies each Gamer so that
any farmer, his wife or children
can easily learn to do the canning
The cans for putting up the stuff
are cheap, costing about So a hun.
bred for two pound cans, and
about so so to SO per hundred for
three pound cans.
l am now eating peaches and
tomatoes put up last season on a
ten dollar Gamer, and the goods
are better than any California
goods.
The flavor is perfect; there are
no Havoring extracts, no coloring
matter injurious acids-just pure,
wholesome fruits with their native
Juices, fresh as when taken from
the tree or vine.
With a ten dollar Gamer a man
and his wife can put up $50 to 175
three. pound cans of peaches day.
If he has two or three children
who can help him he can put two
Gamers on his cook stove and
double the above figures.
If he prefers it. let him 60 in
with three or more good neighbors
and get several Gamers and put
them on a cheap home. made fur.
mace. and they can put up 3, 900 or
1000 cans day. A tent or wagon
sheet will do for a summer cover
ing for the canning outfit.
All kinds of fruits and vegetables
can be canned as perfectly on these
F Gamers as they can on the most
expensive steam Gamers costing
thousands of dollars, and the fruit
will keep just as well and as long
too.
If any poor renter should read
this and want Gamer let him go
in with two or more other renters
and get ten dollar Gamer, and let
it go from home to home, till all
have canned up their surplus fruits
and vegetables
/ have no interest in any con.
Germ that manufactures Gamers,
haye nothing to sell, but [ am in.
terested in the farmers, and wish
) to tell him how he and his family
can live well at home off the fruit
of his own land instead of half
starving, as many do, on meagel
ration Of bacon raised in Illinois
and corn raised in Iowa.
The canning season comes chiefly
in the summer time after the fielc
crops are laid by, and during thit
) time any industrious farmer car
put up few thousand cans o
fruits and vegetables. and as ther,
is always local demand for sucl
goods he can sell to his neighbor
or his grocers and thereby not onl.
keep his own money away from
California, but make a profit him
= self in doing so.
Three pound cans Of peache
are now retailing at 20 cents can
and a farmer who has his own trui
h can can these very cans for abou
y So a hundred and sell them a
\ about 500 a hundred, by retailin
! them, or to local merchants q
" about SIS to ST per hundred, thu
g making handsome profit on tn
q time and capital invested.
Y Brother farmer, plant more frui

IN ply for your family and keep som
lie to sell. Live at home; be an il
S. dendent man, and you will be loy
y, ed more tenderly by your wife an
Al more highly cherished by yor
