The smoke finds ejifrpss throu(>-h a ]iipe at the other end of the vat. It is said of this apparatus that it distributes its heat uniformly and without the use of much fuel. In Figs. -283, 284, and 285 are given tions of a most useful combined milk-vat an 1 heater, such as may be used in either factories or farm-house dairies. The heater is constructed separately from the vat, and consists of wrought-iron pipes, screwed together in such a manner as to form a fire chamber, and present a large amount of heating surface directly exposed to the action of the fire. This coil of pipes is enclosed in brickwork, which as to distribute the heat equally. The lower pijie, the one that supplies the coil with water from the.
