Near this furnace is to be fixed a large barrel on one of its ends, 

 with a cover on the other end ; which may be occafionally opened 

 to admit potatoes, and clofed again fo as to confine the fleam, which 

 is to be derived into it from the boiler by a double pipe one with" 

 the other, of tin or wood, about two inches in diameter, 

 means a large quantity of potatoes may be rendered much 

 tritive to animals, and I fuppofe to vegetables (if they were ufed as 

 manure), as they may thus probably be abforbed by their baeals or 

 lymphatics without being fo much decompofed as by the putrefadivc

If the fleam could be made hotter than boiling water, which it pof 



fibly may in the veflel above defcribed, if th 



water 



fes but 



few inches, and the fleam after 



produced, is heated above 



degrees by the fides of the boiler above the water, round which 



the 



flame plays fpirally, th 



fleam thus made hotter might probably 



render the potatoes more mucilaginous or more flarchy
