DAIRY STOVES,
Different sizes, from 15 to 50 gallons.
This article was constructed in consequence of a suggestion from the American Institute, that a simple, portable and low priced furnace was much wanted by farmers for boiling and steaming food, preparing maple or beet root sugar, and for many mechanical purposes.
It is a boiler or Caldron, set in an iron stove or furnace, so formed that a space of from one to two inches is left between the boiler and the iron casing, causing the heat in its passage to encircle all parts of the boiler, even to its upper edge. They are used with a short pipe, the same as an ordinary stove, and should be furnished with a common wooden cover to facilitate the boiling.
The outside casing being made in sections insures durability. Of the many hundreds sold, the proprietor has not heard of one that has broken in use.

After moulding the iron to fit the foot,. Can tack the shoe on "right side up.""
Which tends so much to the ease and elegance of the horse's traveling, together with the perfect safety of the rider, and with- out which, stumbling and awkwardness of gait are invariably at- tributed to the poor quadruped, whereas the smith is often at fault.
Particular attention paid to cause, effect, and the cure of Interfering, the Speedy Cut, Sand Cracks, Narrow Heels, Thrushes, False Quarters, Contracted Feet, &c.
