A New COOKING STEAMER. c
have been shown a new invention fol-
cooking various kinds of food, which
will effect a great saving of time
| food and fuel, besides the number OIL
steps it saves woman who does hel
own cooking. 1t is called the John
son Improved Cooking Steamer, man
ufactured at Lancaster, n. H., anC
lis being introduced in this vicinity by
the courteous and gentlemanly agent
Mr.. Phelps, of Lancaster, who ha
already sold a number in our village
and who will call at each residence
before leaving, to take orders for it
and allow it to be tested, if desired
before purchasing. We can cheer
fully recommend it as invaluable 70
cooking all kinds of meats, vegeta
bles, breads, buildings, custards, oat
meal, rice, cakes, beans, peas, eggs
oysters, tea, coffee, etc. 1t allow
mo favors to escape into the roor
while cooking, and in cooking sewers
different dishes at once, the flavor @
one is not impaired to the others
We believe this steamer will be large
" used wherever it is introduced.
