For indoor work this steamer will be found very valuable, as it is perfectly secured from all danger of commiinicating fire, and, by an improved combined vacuum and pressure safety-valve, from danger of explosion. The furnace is made of wrought and cast-iron.

For indoor work this steamer will be found very valuable, as it is perfectly secured from all danger of commiinicating fire, and, by an improved combined vacuum and pressure safety-valve, from danger of explosion. The furnace is made of wrought and cast-iron. The stove is of heavy boiler iron, and the base, flues, &;c., of cast iron. The cauldrons stand from three and a-half to four and a-half feet high, with a diameter somewhat less than the height. Three sizes are made, to steam from twenty to one hundred bushels of cut feed per day, and to hold from one to two and a-half barrels of water. There are also various implements of less common use, but all labour-savers. The StuTYip-Puller.—Of these, the most powerful and probably the best for general use is that made upon the screw principle. The screw and the screw-box is the only part of the machine that cannot be made by any farmer. SCREW STUMP MACHINE. (See Appendix.) We find the following simple stump machine in the columns of the American Agriculturist:—. A SIMPLE STUMP-PULLER. It is worked by a lever, moved preferably by a stout yoke of oxen. The end of the lever is supplied with a strong clevis, suffi- ciently long to pass around so as to be used on either side. The fulcrum of the lever consists of a chain which is to be fastened to the largest stump near (a); on each side of this is a clevis, with a.
