pered earthcnware dishes are safe to

protection one could slip a rooster

A delicious steak may be served by
brolling over the Goals. Use q long

Apples baked in q stone dish after
being peeled and quartered are much
more delicious than the ordinary apple

furnace. A dish which one is at all
doubtful of endurance, should be COW

the sheet-iron shield. Beans are best
put in at night when the fire is
banked. as they need such long, slow
cooking. Stews could be cooked this
way also as we'll as cereals and soups.
Cheap cuts of meat, Irish stews, and
many dishes may be well cooked in
this manner. By a few experiments
the housewife will discover many
dishes which she cana prepare and

Heavy padded holders and some
times the coal shovel will be needed
