HOT WEATHER HELPS
 FOR FARMER FOLK
Homemade Priceless Cooker. IceIess Refrigerator, and Shower Bath Add
 to Comfort of Home.

Many homemade devices which add ! members of the family are being made and used by women county agents in the field and by the women who are ! working as their demonstrators in connection with the extension work, south, of the states relations service. The following are especially useful during the summer months:
 Homemade Priceless Cooker. A wooden or tin lard pail, lined with two thicknesses of paper and provided with close-fitting cover. may be used for the outside container of the cooker. Allow for inches of pack ing on all sides and at the bottom of the pail. A gallon oyster can ,.lll serve very we'll for the nest, which should be wrapped on the outside next to the packing with asbestos and a piece of asbestos placed under the bottom to prevent the scOrching of the packing when hot soapstones are used. Shredded newspaper and excel sior make good packing. Pack this very tightly around and to the top of the nest, the top of which should be about inches below the lid of the outside container. A piece of cardboard cut to fit inside the lard can with d circle cut out of the cen ter around the top of the oyster can or nest will hide the packing and make a neat finish. Place 3-inch cushion of unbleached muslin, stuff the lid of the nest When the top of Al.- ~%oiv s, al nn 11 hooked down, it will be tight enough to cause pressure. If tin pail is used for the outside container, it may be enameled white, or wooden pail stained brown, making neat looking appliance for any kitchen. Regular aluminium fireless cooker utensils may be used for cooking the food in the nest, but any kind of a vessel with a close-fitting top and one that fits closely in the nest is suita- ble.
 A fireless cooker similar to this, to- gether with other labor-saving con- veniences, were built and successfully demonstrated by the members of a woman's home demonstration club in Covington, Alleghany county, Va. The cost of this fireless cooker was esti- mated at 25 cents.
 The Iceless RefrigeratOr.
 A companion convenience to the fireless cooker for the hot summer days is the iceless refrigerator. or milk cooler. This consists of a wood- en frame, covered with canton flan- nel or some similar material. It isl desirable that the frame be screen, although this is not absolutely neces- sary. Wicks made of the same mate rial as the covering rest in pan of water on top of the refrigerator. al- lowing the water to seep.. down the d sides. When evaporation takes place the heat is taken from the inside, with consequent lowering of the temperature. On dry, hot days tenn perature of 50 degrees can be obtain ed, in this refrigerator. The toalcw- ing description will aid in the con- struction of this device:

Make a screened case E feet higl
 with the other dimensions 12 by l. inches. If a solid top is used simpl3 rlace the water pan on this. Other wise fit the pan closely into the open ing of the top frame and support il by 1-inch cleats fastened to the in side of the frame. Place two Inova- hlc shelves in the frame. l2 to 15 inches apart. Use biscuit pan 12 inches square on the top to hold the water, and where the refrigerator is to be used indoors have tbc whole thing standing in a large pan to catch any drip. The pans and ease may he painted white. allowed to dry, and then enameled. A covering of white canton flannel should be made to fit the frame. Have the smoooth side out and button the covering on the frame with buggy or automobile curtain hooks and eyes, arranged so that the door may be opened without unfasten-
 ing these hooks. This can easily be done by putting one row of hooks on the edge of the door near the latch and the other just opposite the open ing with the hem on each side ex- tShACu lul Shout?I .sto SoNNl iHS Cl fN at the edge of the door, so as to keep out the warm, outside air and retain the cooled air This dress or covering will have to be hooked around the top edge also. Two double strips one half the width of each side should be sewed on the top of each side and al lowed to extend over about 2ia or 3 inches in the pan of water. The bot tom of the covering should extend to the lower edge of the case.
 Place the refrigerator in a shady place where air will circulate around it freely If buttons and btttonholes are used on the canton flannel instead of buggy hooks, the cost should not exceed S5 cents.
 Homemade Shower BatI,.
 A very simple, convenient and cheap arrangement for home made shower bath has been built by this Virginia club, and is considered especially use ful in homes where there are many children. This device was made by using a 2 or gallon tin bucket. hole was punched in the bottom and piece of pipe about 1 1a to ? inches long soldered in the opening. A piece of rubber hose to 6 feet long was attached to this and a sprayer from the watering can or a nozzle placed on the end. A rope was tied to the handle of the bucket and run through staple which was driven in the joist beside the window sash, making pulley by which the bucket could be raised or lowered to suit the convenience of the person taking the shower. A hook was placed below this staple so that the rope could he fastened to hold the bucket in place, and a clothespin used over the hub Der tube to cut off the water. A large tin tub was placed underneath to stand in. Estimated cost of this con- venience was as follows:
