VI. — Chester man s newly -invented Portable Steaming Apparatus, 
for steaming Potatoes or any other Vegetable- Roots for Cattle. 
This is a very convenient apparatus, and an extremely cheap one. It 
will be found especially beneficial to farmers, butchers, and other feeders 
of pigs and cattle ; and is calculated to supersede in many cases the fixed 
furnace, as it can be removed at pleasure from one part of the home- 
stead, or of the farm, to another : and, from the simplicity of its 
construction, there is not the least danger of its getting out of order. 
Another important consideration is the great saving efi'ected iu consump- 
tion of fuel, as 8 or 10 sacks of potatoes can be steamed with 1 cwt. of 
coals. The apparatus is so constructed that all tlie pernicious quality 
contained in the potato is entirely extracted, and runs off in the process 
of steaming, and the potato comes out, of the most beautiful flavour, and 
perfectly dry and mealy. The boiler may at any time be used separate 
from the steamer where a large quantity of hot water is required for any 
purpose, and may be removed to any place at pleasure, with the greatest 
safety. 
The apparatus, at prices varying from Al. to 6/. (according to size), 
with full directions for use, may be obtained by applying to the inventor 
and manufacturer, W. Chestermau, engineer, &c., Faringdon, Berks.
