A very, quiet wedding took place re- cently at the First Presbyterian Church, Detroit recently when Miss Myrtle May Consigney, formerly of Seaforth and Clinton became the wiffe of Mr. Edgar C.

The Evaporated Apple industry With the apple picking season close at hand and the largo quantities of apples grown in Canada, a more timely bulletin than one on the Evap- orated Apple Industry, written by Mr. 0, S. McGillivray, Chief Trav- elling Inspector of Fruit and Veget- able Canneries, and issued by the De- partment of Agriculture, Ottawa, could hardly be devised. It speaks of the old time methods when apples were cut into sections and hung up to dry, and then, with many illus- trations and drawings, describes in Full the progress that has been made in the process, the wholesomeness and nutritive value of the evaporat- ed apple, the implements that can be used, and the structures that are advisable for manufacturing on a scale of different dimensions. 'fie bulletin remarks that the industry is only in its infancy in Canada, but is of great value and importance and open to extensive development. It gives the results of many experi- ments and, tin short, in plain and ex- plicit language, explains. very fully the operations' that are necessary to bring the evaporated apple up to the highest standard of commercial ex- cellence and nutritive value. The bul- letin can be had free' by addressing the Publications Branch, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa.
