A New Invention Recently
Patented,

! desire to call the attention of that
class OF men who are now and have been
serving the sorghum industry of the
country, as field operators, in the manu-
facture of sorghum mOlasses-men who
move their machinery from farm,to farm,
and who desire to continue the business,
to the fact that | was, OIL the 3lst Of De-
ccmber, 1889 granted letters of patent ON
a furnace thai is destined in the near flu
ture to take the place of all other make
Of furnaces now in use, for the following
reasons:
l. The furnace is mounted on an iron
running gear supporting AMI carrying it,
and the evapOrating pan and juice tank,
all of which does not have to be loaded
and unloaded in moving from one crop
TO another.
=, In setting of the furnace for opera
ton you have no fire box to build rs you
do in other furnaces.
g.. The furnace being provided with an
inner wall extending from front to rear
and forming an air chamber in either
side Of fire box and extending the fun
length of furnace, thereby keeping the
outside wall of furnace cool at all times,
renders it impossible, with the heaviest
firing, to burn off the under edges of the
wooden sides of the evapOrating pan.
A.. The operator can perform all his
duties with as much comfort rs regards
the exposure Of his feet and legs, ms
though he was working around a brick
or rock furnace.
8. As there is nothing to load on all
the operator has to do when he finishes
up a crop Is to insert the plug at the out
let OF the evaporating pan, retaining the
water on pan, and Will n scraper draw
tho fro nllt nf fnrnnnn ftuln lnrun thn
smoke stack and pack the same into the
furnace close the furnace door, hitch on
his team and move out, all Of which does
not take longer than twenty or twenty
five minutes.
6. With a mill properly mounted and
a crop ready to be passed through the
mill and good dry wood, the entire ma
chinery can be put in operation and cane
juice to boiling in thirty minutes, which
cannot be done with any other portable
furnace now III use in this country.
THE construction of this furnace Is
such that it will carry a u or II OF 16
foot evapOrating pan as easily as a 7 or a
. foot pan land does not require the labor
of but one hand to set it and adjust any
thing ready for operating.
s. This furnace will retain the heat al
most equal to a brick furnace and having
Al uuNDlC "dilI u oluC VI lcuu MlilV uUcs
not affect its successful operation in the
least.
0. The furnace carries an eyap0rating
pan so constructed that the first three
feet in n II foot pan serves as n deiicator
n process directly essential to the making
of a first quality of molasscs, as all ex-
pcrienced operators well know.
10. There is operated in connection
with the furnace a molasscs cooler, filter
and foam separator, that is so constructed
t that when closed there Is II means of es-
cape for the acid gases to the entire ex-
~clusion of water and any and all insects.
D IL. The entire machinery is 80 ar
. ranged that while being operated in the
open field can be closed down by the
, operator in three minutes to the cxclu-
sion Of water from the heaviest OF rains,
and without drawing any fire, and from
one day to the next, and that, too, with
ont any damage to either the molasses or
any juice that may be on hand ut the
time on the machinery.
