The state republican. (Jefferson City, Mo.) 1871-1896, 1890-04-10

The furnace of my invention and
for which l was issued q patent on
December 81, 1889, No. 49, G5,
possesses the following advantages
over all other portable furnaces now
in use:
/. Being mounted oman iron run
ming gear, makes it as easy 10 more~
from place TO place as an empty two
horse wagon.
2. In moving from n crop to
another there is no fire base to tear
out and rebuild as Is the case with
all other portable furnaces saving
of much time and labor.
9. 1t will carry q IL or IA or
lG foot cvaporating pan as easy as
a Z or 8 foot. Tie wheels are coupled
further apart for q 1G foot pan than
for a Z or 8 foot pan, is all the differ
cncc.
4. After finishing q job of work
you do not have TO wait for the fur
nace to cool off before moving as you
do a furnace that has to be loaded on
a wagon and hauled from farm to
farm.
s.. The furnace being provided
with an air chamber on either side of
fire box and extending the entire
length of furnace, renders it impos-
sible with the heaviest of firing, to
burn off the under edges Of the
wooden sides of the evaporating pan,
q defect in all other portable fur
naces, and one that has lever been
successfully met heretofore in any
other furnace.
6. BY reason of the fact that the
outside walls of furnace are kept cool
at all times, an operator can perform
all his duties with as much comfort
as regards the exposure of his feet
and legs to the heat from the furnace
as though he were working around a
brick furnace-a thing that cannot
be said of any other portable fur
mace, as all experienced field opera
tors well know.
Z. The ev%aporating pan or juice
tank does not have to be taken off of
furnace in moving from one place Ia
another. The furnace having @
double wall, its operation is not al
all affected by any side or head
winds.
s.. The inside wall of furnace is 81
arranged as TO throw the heat M
against the bottom of the evaporatins
pan, resulting in tile saving of fue
and increasing the evaporating ca
pacity Of the evaporating pan.
0. 1t requires but ore hand t.
move the furnace from one farm t
another, the labor being performed
in the following manner: In finish
ing up 4 crop insert the plug in tn
outlet of evaporating pan, thcreh,
retaining the wa er that invariabl,
follows the last III of molasses
Then with an iron scraper draw th
fire out of the furnace, take dow
the smoko-stack, Poke the sam
into the furnace, close the door
hitch on a team and drive out, all o
which takes but one hand and no
moro than twenty minutes time
thing that cannot be done with an
other furnace with anything near til
same labor and time, as any well in
formed operator will tell you.
10. With a sorghum mill properl
mounted and the cane ready to b
passed through the mill and with Of
dinarlly smooth ground and goo
dry fuel, the entire machinery ca
be put in successful operation, an
: cane juice boiling by two hands
thirty minutes time one hand scttin
his mill and the other the furnac,
: neither needing any assistance.
s II. The evaporating pan being col
o structed with Il greater depth at fro
!, end than at the rear, is designed
use the first three feet in o IL 70,
pan Immediately over the fire box
