A home evaporator makes it pessi-
Ile to save considerable fruit on the
farm that otherwise would go to
waste. The evaporator is placed over
the kitchen stove so that no extra fuel
is consumed. , Dried apples, peaches,
pluins, ra.spbefrieS, blackberries, cher-
ries, etc., are preserved ire this way
with little trouble. In the winter the
dried fruit soaked oveenight in fresh
water makes excellent sauce' when
stewed, also pies and puddings.
