Make Elreiess Cooker.

A tightly built box. an old trunk. q
galvanized-iron ash can. candy
bucket a tin lard can, lard tub. and
a butter firkin are some Of the con-
tainers that have been used successful
ly In the construction Of fireless cook
ers.
The inside container or nest which
holds the vessel Of hot food may be
bucket Of agate, galvanized-iron or
tin. This nest must be deep enough to
hold the radiator and the vessel Of
food but not large enough to leave
much space, as the air space will cool
the food. The inside container must
have a tight-f1tting cover. and straight
sides are desirable.
The packing or insulation must be
some material which is a poor con-
ductor Of heat. The following ma
terials may be used and they should
be dry: Lint cotton. cotton-seed hulls.
wool, shredded newspaper, Spanish
moss, ground cork, hay, straw. and
excelsior.
Sheet asbestos one-eighth inch thick
and heavy cardboard have proved to
be the best lining for the outer con-
tainer and the wrapping for the nest.
Heavy wrapping paper or several
sheets Of newspaper may be used FOR
lining the outer container. but the nest
should be wrapped with asbestos or
heavy cardboard to prevent the hot
stone scorching or burning the packing.
1t Is well to have the outside con-
tainer large enough to permit four
inches Of packing below and around
the sides Of the nest. II cooker Is
being made with two nests, six inches
Of packing should be allowed between
the nests. Pack into the bottom OF the
lined outer container four inches Of
the packing. Place the nest or inside
container wrapped with asbestos or
heavy cardboard and hold steady while
the packing Is put around tightly
and firmly until 1t reaches the top Of
the nest.
Make q collar, as shown In illustra-
ton, of cardboard, sheet asbestos, or
wood to cover the exposed surface Of
the insulating material. This collar
should fit tightly.
Make a cushion which when filled
with the packing will be at least four
inches thick and will fill completely
the space between the top of the nest
and the lid Of the outside container.

Advantages Of Cooker.
The flreless cooker offers several
advantages. The first Is economy of
time, as the housekeeper may leave
the food cooking without worrying
about the result while she Is engaged
in other household duties or while she
IL away from home. Some foods are
improved by long cooking at relatively
low temperature. The texture and
flavor Of tougher cuts Of meats, old,
tough fowl and ham are improved by
slow cooking. Cereals and dried le-
gumes and dried fruits are more pala-
table and wholesome when cooked for
q long time. Soups and stews are
delicious when cooked In the cooker.
Baking. however. cannot be done very
conveniently and satisfactorily in the
ordinary homemade fireless cooker.
Economy Of Fuel.
In some sections Of the country
economy Of fuel must be an important
consideration. The food for the cooker
may be started on q wood or coal
range when the morning meal 10 being
prepared. The food to be cooked Is
first heated to boiling point on the
stove In the cooking vessel and then
this vessel, covered with a tight lid,
is quickly placed In the cooker where
the cooking continues. The cooker is
80 constructed that the heat does not
escape. For long cooking 1t is neces-
sary t. place In the cooker under the
cooking vessel hot radiator A soap
stone is the best radiator and can be
purchased at most hardware stores at
80 cents. A stove lid, brick, or disk
made Of concrete, heated and placed in
the cooker, may serve as the radiator.
