indian Meal and Corn Bread.

1t Is said that many more people would
eat corn bread il they knew how to cook it.
An "eXperlencei hOusekeeper' has furnished
US with some good recipes which we commend
to inexperienced housekeepers.. A bushel
OF corn contains more nutriment than bush
el OF wheat. The latter is not generally con
sidered fit 10 eat unless ground very fine and
bolted. 1t is n mistake, however. Indian
corn treated in the same way is nearly SPOIL.
ed. IL never should be ground fine. Let
that be remembered. line meal may be
eaten when fresh ground, but it will not keen

The Swedish Stove

A correspondent Of the Springfield Re.
publican writes as follows of the stove in use
! for a long period in Sweden. If his account
! ia true it must be invaluable, and some of
/ our practical men should look ont for its
( general introduction into this country, where
| fuel is becoming so dear, and where the win.
/ tiers with rare exceptions) grow colder and
colder continually
! III have fully made up my mind to buy one
! OF the Swedish stoves, and send it home in
time to be put up for winter, ] think it will
prove one Of the greatest blessings to our
country of anything lately Invented or intro
duced there. 1t entirely obvates oil the
evils existing, end so seriously felt by all our
northern people, in our imperfect and expen-
| sive mode of heating houses. il is not more
expensive in its construction than our stoves
and il is quite an ornament to room, is en-.
tirely free from dirt and filth in its use, gives
an even, genial warmth TO any degree that
may be desired, entirely free from The uuplra-
SAINT effect Of our hot air system, and is the
perfection of economy Of fuel SO perfect is
it, that for a hundred and fifty years, there
has been no change in its arrangement and
it has given perfect satisfaction, in a country
where they require as much warmth for their
comfort as we do and where the cold TO con-
tend with is greater.
w mere the people are quite as intelligent
in all that pertains to such matters as we
are, and it can hardly be supposed, if there
was any advantage to obtained, or anything
more desired for comfort q. convenience or
beauty economy, that 10 changes would have
been made in it in so long a time. 1t is a
great wonder to me that some one has not
only tried it in America, but established its
use and manufacture there, for its construc-
tion is as simple and easy to understand as
its principle of heating and yentiating a room
are beautiful and economising. Only one
fire day is made in them, and then only
small quantity Of birch wood is used.
One Of common size is capable of heating
room about thirty feet square, as warm as
you would desire it even in this cold climate
The amount Of wood burned in each stove, in
their eight months of winter, is only one cord
Swedish, which is little less than our cord
or as l20 cubic feet to 1913. There are sev.
eral patterns, some much more beautiful than
others ; but most of them are q plain round
pedestal or column, extending from the floor
nearly to the ceiling, and generally they have
plain white China ware but many that
have seen are Of more ornamental forms,
with cornices and mouldings at the top, and
some of them are ornamented in colorS, like
China ware. The material of which they are
made is the same as our common tile, with
the white euamed merely on the surface.
