Coleman tbe inventor aod patentee of the Perfeioioo fruit and vegetable evaporator, bus again es tablish, d himself in Grauta Pa8, hav ing rented a building on Meet U street, for the purpose of mauufjetar lug this drying apparatus which ap pears to be so ntceesaiy an adjuuet to fruit raising. Mr. Colemau s ma chine seems to overcome the weak points ol most othtr drying apirato, in that bis ia les xpeuidve, is not cumbersome, can be takeu into the home, and is simple of operation. Tbe machine ia mads iu sizes to etapoiate Irom 15 buthele to 100 bu-nels per day and the prices range from $150 to $325 per machine, ac cording to size. Mr. Coleman says that one of thfse machima will pay for liself in 80 to 6U days ia tbe evaporation f your second claea ruita. It will alao evaporate iquaab or sweet cam witu equal facility. Jn addition to ita value for caring fruits, vegstables, etc., it will be found, durisg long damp or rainy speila a great convenience for dry lug cloth aa it will thoroughly dry towel, napkins, etc, iu from eight to 10 minutes, aud heavier materials in proportionate time, while heating the Irons for ironing them at the sauia time. It can be run in the open air or in the house, aa, if it is pioperly connected with a ohimney, neither heat nor the moisture from drying fruits or clothe escape into the room. A little second class frnit mixtd in with a lot of first-class fruit, gives the commission men an rxuuee to rate it all aa aeoond-claei, and they seldom I fall to do it If fruit growera would alwaya work up their seooud-clas fruit at home by evporating it, and alao their Urst-clsas fruit wbeu the price falls below fair profit, they, and uot the dealers or middlemen would be masters of the situation, and aa evanorted frulte bave all of America and eight foreign conntries for mar ket, and tbe grower can bold it 'till he ia ready to sell, there is no danger of a glutted market for it, or price so low that It will not pay fair profit for time and labor iuvrsted. . Mr. Coleman ia preparing to mano fsctore this evaporating machine on a large scale, and the apparatus seems to be so practical and ao superior to other aimilar machines tbat the in dustry aliould soon develop into a permaueut commercial institution tot Uranta Pass and furnish employment for qul e number of famiiiea.
