state, that partially cooking the food will be found of great 

 advantage, especially to the draught and slow-worked horse ; 

 much will be thereby saved to the pocket of the owner, and 

 it is a practice highly to be commended. For this purpose, 

 no better apparatus can be found than one of Prindle's 

 steamers, which can be used not only with safety but 

 economy for every purpose about a stable for which a stove 

 is used. One of the smallest size will not only generate 

 steam which can be conveyed through pipes to any part of 

 the stable for heating purposes, but to the coach, harness 

 or sleeping rooms, and with a properly closed box-stall, a 

 Turkish bath can be heated perfectly by one of these 

 steamers. No stable should be without one.
