EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. Thursday raornii)!: we went to see thu ' prune orchard and 5ry hocso of i?. IX Evans, one o! tie lest fauna in Coles valley. Mr. Eyans has 30 litres of prunes and 20 acre3 of apples peachesand tcArs all iu tine condition, but only nrout ten acres of prunes iu fall fruitage this sea son. It is a Mud sight to view the lonrr rows of trees heavily laden with fruit ir.auy of the trees almost breaking down with the weight ct pruuoj. Mr. Evans has had erected a fine, eoetlv. and. aiwareatly. the b.st fruit dryer in the couuty. It consists of a system of trays arranged on an inclined ' spiral plar.o making oleveii circuits around the central hoop, aud within au outer hoop about ten feet from floor to top of dryer. Tuere are fourteen trays in each complete circle making 15-1 trays to complete a "batch for a sun." These trayn haye wire cloth bottoms on which . th fruit ii stread. When these lrys -are all filled up and evenly spread out, the heaters aro "fired and the troys tot re olvini:, propelled by a steam lugiae at a speed ut about ei,;iit revolutions a minute. Tula revolving motion causes a carreut of hot air to pass up from the bottom circle of trays to tin; top, similar to the chips from en auger. This method prevents tho vapor of the traja of ilryin: fruit below from passing np through the nest tier above, thus relieving the tier a'wve from the humid vapors below mingling with, and ncceeearily rdtarding the process of drying. Tlie capacity of this dryer is said to be 150 bushels of frail a day. The Hint re quired for a "run" is from 10 to 12 hours. Mr. Evans has estimated that Hits year he will hare about I'O.tXM pounds of dried prunes from about ten acre young trees. When in felt bearing tbejr will produce from two to four times this amount. We next made a tour of Mr. Ueore Shambrook's and 31. F. Smith's hop yards, consisting of 7 acres ttii-J year on the Sbambrook farm. IIre were cm ployed the first day abut:: 120 picker composed of men, wom:i and children unite a little army of Sen', euperin tended by Mr. T. I.. Tuits. au experi enced hop man. Tis company pay by the pound.- Every box U weighed when full and emptied into prepared sacks, the picker being credited for th"nnmler of pounds his sack weighs. A bos holds 0 bushels or 4S pounds of hops. The -pickers at this yard aie paid -JO cents for every -IS pounds. Owing to difference in the quality of the hops and the length of time it takes a picker to fill hi box the weight varies from -IS to 00 jounds. Mr. bbambroofc has three dry honscs on his premises, each uf the capacity of SO boxes p:r day. From the cry hoiwe the hots are con veyed to a Etore house, where they are dumped into a heap and there lay till baled ready for market. The baling Is done similar to that of baling hay. except the hops are inclosed in sacks, hut the machinery for compressions very simi lar to that for hay. The standard for hops is about ISO pounds to the bale The temperature required for drying is from 125 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit, pro duccd by a furnace in a close room di rectly under thu hops which are spread over a floor made of slats about half an inch apait with a carpet of gauzy-like cloth to prevent the hops from sifting through, but (sufficiently open to readily admit the heat passing through the hops spread over the floor to the dejith of from IS to 2-1 inches. A bleaching process is carried on at tho same time of doing by means of potH of burning sulphur suspendeu from the floor abovo. A few minutes bicalh inn of the hot air in the hop room will remind you of that pl-ico wo have heard so much said in our boyhood days spoiled with four letters, commencing wi!u h and ending with 1.
