The fiues E F extend toward the ends of the boiler, and are made broad enough to expose the entire bottom of the boiler to the heat of the smoke, which escapes through pipes G at the ends of the apparatus. The boiler is made with double walls II, to form an air-space, I, to impede the radiation of heat. Instead of the air-space I, non-conducting material may be secured to the outer surface of the sides of the boiler.

The boiler is formed with an offset, J, on the inner side, forming a support for the grating K, which divides the boiler into two compartments, L M, the upper compartment being used for steaming feed-such as corn in the ear-while the lower compartment is used for boiling shelled grain. The boiler is covered by a concavo-convex lid, N, which assists in confining the steam.

substantially as shown and described.

2. The combination, with the boiler of 7X center of thelength of theboiler, and provided the separate furnaces B 0, arranged under the with the dues E F, respectively, extending to I the ends of the boiler, and with the dampers I and der.
