COMBINED PATENT STEAM BOILER. 
rip HIS BOILER IS CONVERTIBLE 
into either a simple Cauldron or Steam Boiler at plea¬ 
sure, and is admirably adapted to Cooking Food for Stock, and 
especially for making Sugar, or furnishing hot water or steam 
for Tanners and general purposes; for Scalding Hogs, Steaming 
Timber, and warming Buildings by Steam, by means of Pipes 
and Radiators. It is an oblong cast iron Cauldron, with Flange* 
at the top and bottom, to facilitate the Setting of it in a common 
Brick Furnace. It has a Cover, with Flange to match the Upper 
Flange of the Kettle. A few Bolts fasten the Cover and Kettla 
together, thus forming a Steam Boiler, containing about fifty 
Gallons of Water, with Steam Chamber above. Trie Cover ca» 
easily be removed when the operator wishes to use the Kettl# 
as a Cauldron, and as readily replaced, when lie wishes to uaa 
it as a Steam Boiler. It is furnished with Flexible Pipes, <w 
Vulcanized India Rubber, which may be shifted about at pies 
sure, to convey the Steam into Tubs, Barrels, Vats, or Steam 
Boxes, or whatever the operator wishes to Cook or Steam in 
Where these Pipes connect with the Boiler, there is a Slide 
Valve, with a simple Lever to move it, by which the Steam cai 
be changed from one Pipe to the other, or made to supply botl 
Pipes at once. The Valve is so arranged that the Steam can no\ 
be shut off from both Pipes at once, thus avoiding the possibil 
ity of an explosion. The operation of Cooking tor Stock can be 
going on on one side of the Furnace, while the Family Clothe* 
Washing, Clothes Boiling, Soap Making; Lard Rendering, &o., 
&c., is going on on the other—all with as little fire undex . u e 
Boiler as will work an ordinary Cook Stove. 
They are arranged for burning either wood or coal. The man¬ 
ner of setting is very simple, requiring about 350 brick, ana no 
more skill than every farmer possesses. Full directions never¬ 
theless accompany each Boiler, so that it is impossible for the 
most ignorant and unskillful to set it ud wrong. 
Tne advantages ox ludahi? oy sieam arc oovioas, when it in 
remembered that it can be done with much less fuel, and in hail 
the time, in vessels of any kind, size or shape, without con¬ 
stant watching or stirring to prevent the substance from 
burning. 
Below is an extract from report of an experiment made by 
Mr. Samuel H. Clay, of Kentucky, in feeding cooked food to 
hogs, in comparison to feeding in the ordinary way—showing a 
gain of about three to one in favor of the cooked food. It is 
evident that in feeding other stock the gain Tnust be even 
greater. 
All Boilers warranted to give satisfaction, and can be returned 
after thirty days’ trial, if not found to come up to the wants of 
the purchaser.

The following is an extract from a report of an experiment 
made by Samuel H. Clay, of Kentucky : 
“ Gave in thirty days to two hogs 405 lbs. shelled corn, gain 
42 lbs.; gave in thirty days to two hogs 270 lbs. cooked meal, 
gain 80 lbs. The feed was then reversed ; that is, the hogs that 
had mush were fed with the shelled corn, and mush given to 
the other two. Gave in twenty-six days 264 lbs. shelled corn, 
gain 44 lbs.: gave in twenty-six days 234 lbs. cooked meal, gain 
74 lbs.; two other hogs in thirty days 390 lbs. boiled corn, gain 
102 lbs. 
[From tne Cincinnati Daily Commercial ] 
“ Cooked Food for Cattle. —The advantages of using cooked 
food for cattle can be so easily verified by experiment, that it 
must soon be generally adopted by cattle growers and dairy¬ 
men The food thus given is more easily and perfectly digested, 
and will, consequently, produce a much larger amount o* good 
meat, and pure, rich milk, than given in any other form. A well- 
informed milkman, who has used the apparatus manufactured 
and sold by Messrs. Scott & Hedges, of the Little Giant Com 
Mill Works, for cooking food for cattle and hogs, sends us the 
following: 
“ I commenced the use of the Steam Boiler on the 7th inst., at 
which time my ten cows gave sixty and a half quarts. My daily 
feed was ten buckets of middlings, and corn and cob meal about 
equal parts. On the 9th, reduced the feed two buckets. On the 
14th, they gave severity-seven and a half quarts. My milk has 
improved in quality, and my cows in appeal ance. 
“ Cincinnati, Dec. 15,1856. C. M. DAVIS, Milkman.” 
From this it appears that the gain in seven days was seven 
teen quarts, being 28 per cent, gain in milk, with a saving of 20 
per cent, in food. The milk pioduced from such food is alto¬ 
gether different both in quality and appearance. 121nl71
