There are many very simple and cheap contrivances for 

 cooking and steaming food for stock some of them answer 

 exceedingly well. The simpler this kind of apparatus, the 

 better. Convenience and economy should be consulted.

 a cheap and most valuable apparatus, calculated for the com- 

 mon farmer, to feed from forty to fifty hogs, and steam and 

 scald the feed for ten to fifteen head of cattle at the same time. 

 Jt answers the purpose admirably, is cheap, and may be easily 

 erected on any farm. A full description, with a cut, mav be 

 found on page 268 of the second volume of the Farmer's 

 Cabinet.
