A WOMAN INvENTs A NEW COOK STOVE.
A Mrs. Evard, OF Virginia. has model cook
stove, OF her invention, in the Woman's depart
ment, which l will try to describe for the benefit
of my lady readers. Its peculiarities are:
The fire. box is divided vertically 80 that wood
can be burned in one side and coal in the other
| or a fire can be made in one side only. The
oven is also divided in the same way, into two
compartments, so that dry hot air can be used
in one side for baking and cooking, and steam
in the other, and the flavor of different articles
! of food cooking at the same time will not inter-
|
also in the oven can be removed and each two
made one.
The bottom of the rear two-thirds OF the fire
box is solid, to retain the Goals, especially OF
wood, and the front third of the bottom, and
| all the front part Of the fire box to the top is
grating which gives good draft, and throws
the heat out in front Of the stove
To the front of this stove is tacled-re-
movable at pleasure-a sheet-iron roasting and
broiling ovon-regulated by lever, 80 that
meats can be adjusted near or remote from the
| fire, and held in any position desred-a de-
cided improvement on anything Ihave yet seen.
| BY means OF fiues and hampers, the heat can be
sent over the top, or under the bottom OF one
| or both compartments OF the oven, or all
around it, at pleasure.
The top is like auy other stove, except fifth
| cap, equidistant from the ordinary four caps,
with graduated heater in form of an hour glass
for coffee pot or various uses. The chief mer.
! its claimed for this stove are, economy of fuel,
convenience, and ease and rapidity of working,
| relieving to great extent the burden Of labor
in cooking. 1t is the outcome of long years of
| effort of an ingenious, inventive and practical
housekeeper, and seems to be decided i'm
provement upon stoves now in use. There is a
fortune i'll it for some large stove manufac-
turer.
