less cooker. OF course everybody
has read about them, but possibly
few have used them. There are
manufactured fireless cookers which
we see advertised frequently, but the
home made one is just as satisfac-
tory, though not SO attractive look
ing perhaps. This is how one is
made: We got 60-pound lard tub
and filled 1t tight with hay. The
boiled dinner Is started at breakfast
on the stove, and when thoroughly
heated place the vessel, which must
have close-fitting cover, in the hay,
which must be packed closely on all
sides OF the vessel; cover closely and
leave until you are ready for baking
your dinner bread. Then if you
like you can place vessel over fire
and boil down." as in the case of
beans. Cabbage will be ready with
out returning to fire. 1t takes lit
tie longer to cook this way, but not
so much water, as there is no evapo-
ration. We tackled ham yester-
day, and after boiling until heated
through, buried the pot I'm the hay
box and left about six hours. The
result was most satisfactory. There
are, of course, many doubling
