FIRE POKING

A man who has the chance to
poke a fire need never be lone
ly. Certain inalienable rights are
an integral part of our form of
government, and one which
should be exercised by more
citizens is the privilege of polk
ing a fire during the winter.
Satisfying fire poking depends
upon several factors. A fireplace
must be so constructed that it
provides a reasonable draft. AS
in pie making or gardening, bas-
ic fundamentals are essential;
but granted good fireplace, one
needs to use a sizable backlog,
sufficient kindling and medium
sized pieces to get the fire go
ing. And of course, after opera
tons begin in the fall, one main
tains a deep bed of ashes all the
time.
A good fire poker does not nee.
essarily pay much attention tc
the state of the fire. Perhaps il
is not necessary than when i
is not necessary than WIN il
has burned too low, for a top
flight fire poker never lets his
hearth flame dwindle to the poin
where the flames have dice
away.
The amount of fire poking j.
not a critical point. A briskly
burning fire can be happily pokeC
each few minutes, and many
men skilled in the art poke a fire
frequently. This may cause iron
