STEAM COOKEEa
PATENTED JULY 16TI1, *872.
| It is the most complete arrangement for cooking
I on a large or small scale, ever invented.
I Meats, Vegetables, Pcdmngs, Rice, &c.
j Arc thoroughly cooked by steam, without tutu-
| glingthe flavors; and iverul ditferent kinds of
i food tn.iy be cooked at one time, and only oc
cupy one hole of the stove. It can be used on
any cooking stove, range or furnace with per
fect sue. ess. Eacli section is separate in doing
ils cooking— all the different sections being suj-
plic.l with steam direct from the boiler.
Most of the steam is condensed, therefore but
little escapes into the room, and but little odor.
Only a few quarts of water cook fora family,
; thereby saving fuel and tlie excess o, kitchen
j iieut, especially in sninmer. It performs like a
j charm on a gas stove.
! The superior excellent* • and hcnlthfulness of
1 steam-cooked food need only a lev.- trials to
satisfy all.
I A supply of water being kept in the boiler,
! tli • food cannot be burnt; needs no careful
| watching as ordinarily, and may be kept ho.
j for hour.- when needed, without burning, dry
j ing, or loss of flavor. Steamed p-ot-pies arc
I simply delicious; and lorncd-beef, potatoes,
| dumplings, puddings, onions, parsnips, etc.,
1 are cooked at the same time without mixing
I flavors in the :east. It is ju.-t the thing to pre
pare fruit for calming or oiiier purposes.
No dirty pots or kettles; No filling the room
with steam tin 1 odor from food; no heating o
rooms iu summer whan they should ha kept
cool; no burnt food when not carefully watch
ed ; tlie food kept ready and warm for hours ;
and the saving in care, labor and fuel in o.ic
season will pay the co.-i of a Cooker, to say
nothing of the vzeelleuce and heaithiulucss of
the cooking. Very little s'cauaescnpes, there
fore all the flavor and richness is retained, and
this very feature gives universal satisfaction.
It saves_ one-sixth of everything, compared
with boiling or roasting or baking in the or
dinary way It docs not need half tac atten
tion to cook as by any other method.
It cannot destroy or injure the food by burn
ing or neglect. It furnishes more palatable aud
nutritions food. It saves the handling oi num
erous cumbersome iron pots. It furnishes tiie
most simple and perfect method of cooking by
steam. It cooks meats and vegetables so as to
retain tlicir original flavor. AVe can give many
tli lusaaid testimonials but prefer u'l to give it a
trial

[Special Correspondence to the Constitution.]
Mr. Editor : I’ve just taken an
other lesson in farmin’. The travelin’
thrash has been along, and for two
days things Yvere lovely iu these
parts ; I liked it. I always did have
a fondness for machinery and things
that saY’e some of the labor. I
wouldent object if them Yankees in
vented something to save it all, and I
believe they’ll do it some of these days.
The travelin’ thrash made an impres
sion on me and my folks. It was
like an epysoad in an oasis or some
thing of that sort. It cum up the
road like a circus or a managerry,
and we could almost see the monkeys
peepin’ out of the big red cage .that
they call a separator. The concern
struck camp right in front of the
house in the -middle of a big wheat
field, vnd in a few minutes eight
mules were jerkin’ around the mule
power, aud the music begun. I say
music, for I always did like the buzz
of su h things. It lias a harmonizin’
effect, and for a time keeps down al!
1 competition. I remember there was
a man somewhere flowrt the country
who tried to stop another man from
putting up a planing mill close to
him. He was atcerd the buzz o! it
would disturb his j'amiiy in their
evenin’ naps, and so he applied to
the judge to injunct it. But the
judge couldent see it in that light;
aud so he carried the case up to the
shupreme court and the Chief justice
couldent see it. He remarked that
you might as well try to stop old
comes along every time when we get
ready to plow, and then we have to
wait lor the ground to dry*. Old
Peckerwood remarked that it was
the rainyiat time he ever experienced,
and he reckoned somebody must have
hung up a power of dead snakes this
spring. If these good seasons con
tinue, there will be corn enough made
fur another small war, and I’m afeerd
it won’t bring more than 25 cents a
bushel. If everybody had a little
money we would all be comfortable,
for tilings we have to buy are pow
erful cheap. But that’s the.trouble,
and we noticed for thirty years that
when the things I wanted were cheap
as dirt I didn’t have a cent to buy
with. I do believe it is better to
have a pocket full of poor money and
let things be high, ter there is com
fort in fi-' !in’ ot it even tlio it aint
worth much. When it took a hun
dred dollars in “ confec” to buy a
pound of tobacker I feit sorter like a
gentleman, if I had the money ; but
now I feel ns mean as a yalh-r d jg
when my assetts gi'.s down to half a
dollar.
I think I understand these law
makers party well. -Its to their
intrust to make money scarce. You
see they.are vry kejrful not lo re
duce their pwu salaries, iho.one do 1 .-;
