BOX FOK KDGIBTGS. 



For sale by JOSEPH BRECK: & CO., a lot of very su- 

 perior BOX- Oct. 6. 



Jusi received at the N. E. Agricultural Warehouse and 

 Seed Store, Dr Warren's Patent Cylinder Vegetable Steamer, 

 for steaming all kinds of veseiahles for Swine, Cattle, ^c. in 

 large or small quantities- It can likewise be used for lamily 

 purposes. 



A, the pipe for filling the boiler with water. 



B, safety valve for letting otf extra steam, in case the pres- 

 sure should get loo high. 



C, steam pipe passing from boiler to cask 



D, pipe to supply the boiler with water from a cask or box 

 which is to be placed in such manner as to keep the boiler a 

 bout iwo thirds full of water at all times, which answers as 

 a complete self-regulator for supplying the boiler wiih water. 



The above cut is not a true representation of the boiler, as 

 It appears at leusl one half larger than it really is, in propor- 

 tion to the cask. The boiler is merely n small size cylinder 

 stove, with the fire inside, and surrounded by a sheet of wa- 

 ter from which passes a steam pipe to the barrel or box, the 

 cask or box can be removed so as to diseharge the vegeta- 

 bles without any alteration of the boiler or steam pipe. 



The steamer can be removed from place to place without 

 any difficulty. Wood or coal can be used, and a few cents 

 worth ofeilher will steam a large quantity of vegetables. A 

 n'imber of them have iieen in operation, and found to give 

 universal satisfaction. 



Farmers and others are invited to call at our Warehouse 

 and examine the article, which they will find to be a very 

 neat and cheap apparatus for the purpose. Price Sl2. and 

 with handles $13. JOSEPH BRECK & CO.
