An encyclopædia of agriculture [electronic resource] : comprising the theory and practice of the valuation, transfer, laying out, improvement, and management of landed property, and the cultivation and economy of the animal and vegetable productions of agriculture, including all the latest improvements, a general history of agriculture in all countries, and a statistical view of its present state, with suggestions for its future progress in the British Isles. Agriculture. SSRJ. Menfeaih or Closeburn coal lime-kiln. 581 .3 When lime is to be burned with coal or smoky fuel, a form 584 inventeil by me has been adopted at Closeburn, which, from a very extensive experience, I have proved to be much superior to those iu com- mon use. This kiln, which may be designated the Closeburn coal lime- kiln {fig. 581.), is built in a similar situation to the other. It is oval in ground plan, both at top (fig. 582.), and bottom {fig. 5ii3.), with doors to the fuel- chamber and ash-pit (fig. 581. e/), and an arched cover to the top (fig- SSJ'. g), which moves on small wheels,, is drawn oil" and on by windlasses (h h) and has two small openings serving as chim- neys for the exit of the smoke (;'»). The height of the kiln is thirty-five feet: the sliort diameter at the fuel- chamber is twenty two inches {fig. .W").); at the height of twenty feet the short diameter has gradually ex- tended to five feet (fig. 581.), and this dimension is contmued to the top, where the oval is nine feet by five feet (fig. 582.). As the fuel- shambcr to this kiln is very broad in proportion to its depth, three separate doors or openings become.
