How to Make a campnre.

An absard and reprehensibly destruc-
tive practice is the building of fires be-
neath Il tree ''in order to get the draft"
The fools that do this kill great trees
for nothing but campfire. There is
no sense in that wretched practice. A
fire for camp cooking should be built
in the open, and nothing is easier A
bare rock is the best place, and if you
are to cook by it put up barrier of
loose stones just extensive enough to
make fire as large as a kitchen stove
would hold, put a fiat stone over these
walls, and you will have all you want
You can fry bacon and your corn
cakes and boil your coffee on that
stone. This is as good for winter as
for summer. And if you want hot
old campfire clear place of all COM
bustibles and begin small, gradually
adding stick or two, and the heat
beneath will soon grow so strong that
you can keep it up for as many hours
as you please. But be sure that you
let it get down to the ashes before you
leave. Nobody knows what may hap
pen after you leave blazing fire..
