who in the past has thrown away
his surplus cabbage plants. this
year brings them to the club meet

ped up by fellow members. Mr.
Smiths announcement of an excess
supply OF garden peas results in a
sale of these to Mrs. Brown.
Each club would encourage evi.

MIR. c., who exhibits the first locally
grown string beans; and 10 Mrs. D..
who brings a Jar OF beautifully
picked beets. the club awards merit
marks. Similar rewards might also
be given for helpful suggestions
leading TO greater or more econom-
zeal production.
The work OF the club could well be

Make Fireless Cooker.

A tightly built box, an old trunk, q
galvanized-iron ash can, candy
bucket, tin lard can, a lard tub, and
a butter firkin are some of the con-
tainers that have been used successful
ly In the construction Of freless 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 tight-fitting 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 bulls,
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

Worry az to the Results.

The fireless cooker Is a warm wealth.
er comfort in most any kitchen. Used
In conjunction with a kerosene stove.
1t means not only economy In fuel but
1t makes the kitchen a more habit
able place when the warm days come.
Fireless cookers are now being made
and used In hundreds of homes In
town and country. What is more pleas
Ing to the housekeeper than to put
her dinner In the fireless cooker before
she goes to town or market and to find
1t ready for serving when she returns
Advantages Of Cooker.
The fireless 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
Is 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 6ried fruits are more pala-
table and wholesome when cooked for
a 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 wood or coal
range when the morning meal IL 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
so constructed that the heat does not
escape. For long cooking II is neces-
sary to 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 ut
30 cents. A stove lid, a brick, or disk
made Of concrete, heated and placed In
the cooker, may serve as the radiator.
