satisfactorily, since it is clean and odorless and, if properly packed, will hold the heat better than oine of the others. To pack the container with paper, crush single fcbeets of newspaper between the hands. Tack a layer at least four inches deep over the bottom of the outside container, tramping it in or pounding it in with a heavy stick of wood. Stand the container for the cooking ves-tjl, or the lining for the nest, in the center of this layer and pack more crushed papers about it as badfy as possible. If other packing, such as excelsior, hay, or cork dust, is used, it should be packed in a similar way. Where an extra source of heat is to be used, it is much safer to pack the fireless cooker with some noninflammable material, such as asbestos or mineral wolo. A cheap and easily obtained substitute are the small cinders' sifted from coal ashes, preferably those from soft coal, which may be obtained at the boiler house of any mill. The cinders from hard coal burned in the kitchen range will do, however. Experiments with this material made by home-economics specialists of the Department showed that it is very nearly as satisfactory as crumpled paper as a packing material. If a fireproof packing material is not used a heavy pad of asbestos paper should be put at the bottom of the metal nest and a sheet or two of asbestos paper should be placed between the lining of the nest and the packing material. Whatever packing material is used, it should come to the top of the container for the kettle, and the box should lack about four inches of being full. A -cushion or pad must be provided to fill completely the 6pace between the top of the packing and the cover of the box after the hot kettles are put in place. This should be made of some heavy goods, such as denim, and stuffed with cottou, crumpled paper, or excelsior. Hay may be used, but will be found more or less odorous. The kettles used for cooking should be durable and free from seams or crevices, which are hard to clean. They should have perpendicular sides and the covers should be as flat as possible -and provided with a deep rim shutting well down into the kettle to retain the steam. It is possible to buy kettles made especially for use in fireless cookers; these are provided with covers which can be clamped on tightly. The size of the

kettle should be determined by the quan

FIRELESS COOKER.

How to Make a Satisfactory Device at Home at Low CostDirections for IU Use.

A very satisfactory fireless cooker

may be made in the home at relatively

slight expense, according to specialists of the Office of Home Economics of the Department. The outside of the cooker may be a tightly built wooden box, an

old trunk, a small barrel!, a large butter

or lard firkin or tin, or a large galvan-ized-iron bucket with close-fitting cover. In general, a well-built, conveniently sized box is perhaps most satisfactory, thought the cookers entirely encased in metal have the advantage of being fireproof. If a box is to be used, it size will depend on the size of the cooking kettle to be used in it and on whether there are to be one or two compartments. It must be large enough to allow for at

j least four inches of packing material all

around the "nest" In which the cooking kettle is to be placed. For the sake of cleanliness and convenience the nest should be lined with metal and should be a trifle larger than the cooking utensil. If an extra source of heat, such as a hot brick or plate is to be used, a metallic lining for the nest Is imperative. For this purpose a galvanized iron or other metal bucket may be used or, better still, a tinsmith can make a lining of galvanized iron or zinc which can be provided with a rim to cover the packing material. In ease no hot stone or plate is to be used in the cooker, the

lining can be made of strong cardboard.

For the packing and insulating ma

terial a variety of substances may be used. Asbestos and mineral wool are good and have the additional advantage that they do not burn. Ground cork (such as m used in packing Malaga

grapes), bay, excelsior, Spanish most, wool, and crumpled paper may also be

used satisfactorily. Of the inexpen eive maUrlals that can be obtained eas

ily, crumpled piper Is probably the most

in large kettles, and it is therefore an advantage to have a cooker with compartments of two or more different sizes.

Kettles holding about six quarts are of

convenient size for general use. Tinnediron kettles should not be used in a fire

less cooker, for although cheap they are

very apt to rust from the confined moisture. Enameled-ware kettles are satisfactory, especially if the covers are of

the same material. Aluminum vessels

may be purchased in shapes which make them especially well adapted for use in fireless cookers and, like enameled ware they do not rust. How to Use the Fireless Cooker. Obviously the fireless cooker must be used with intelligence to obtain the best results. It is best suited to those foods which require boiling, steaming or long, slow cooking in a moist heat. Foods can not be fried in it, pies can not be baked successfully in the ordinary fireless cooker, nor can any cooking be done which requires a high, dry heat for browning. Meats, however, may be partially roasted in the oven and finshed in the cooker, or may be begun in the cooker and finished in the oven with much the same results as if they were roasted in the oven entirely. The classes of food best adapted to the cooker are cereals, soups, meats, vegetables, dried fruits, steamed breads, and puddings. When different foods are cooked together in the fireless cooker they must be such as require the same amount of

cooking, since the cooker can not be op

ened to take out food without allowing

the escape of a large amount of heat

and making it necessary to reheat the contents. It would not do to put foods

which need about one and one-half hours to cook into the cooker with a piece of meat which would stay several hours.

The size of the container used in cook

ing with the fireless cooker should be

governed according to the amount of

food to be cooked. Small quantities of

food can not be cooked satisfactorily in

a large kettle in the fireless cooker. If

a large kettle must be used, better results will be obtained if some other ma

terial which holds heat fairly well is used to fill up the empty space. This may be accomplished in several ways.

One is to put the small quantity of food

to be cooked into a smaller, tightly

closed kettle, fill the large kettle with

boiling water and put the small kettle

into it, standing it on an inverted bowl or some other suitable support. This boiling water will take up and hold heat better than air would. Several smaller

dishes (if tightly covered) may be placed in the kettle surrounded by boiling water. Baking-powder or other tins often are found useful for this purpose. Another way is to place one food in a basin which just fits into the top of a large kettle and to let some other material, some vegetable perhaps, cook in the water in the bottom of the kettle. Two or more flat, shallow kettles placed one one top of the other so as to fill the cooker enable one to cook small amounts of dlijerent foods successfully. Such

kettles, made especially for use in fireless cookers, may be purchased. Time Required for Cooking. The time which each kind of food should stay in the cooker depends both on the nature of the food and on the

temperature at which it remains inside!

the cooker, and before recipes for use with the fireless cooker can be prepared one must have some means of knowing how temperatures are preserved in it.

j In experiments made in the Office of

Home Economics a 6-quart kettle was filled with boiling water and put into the cooker, the packing of which happened to be newspaper. The temperature of the water, which was 212 F. when put into the cooker, was found to be 172 F. after four hours had elapsed and 153 F. after eight hours had elapsed.

undisturbed in the cooker for at least six or eight hours, or in some cases overnight. If a soap8tone, hot brick, or oth

er extra source of heat is used, käs time will be required. Materials which are J denser than w;ater (sugar sirup-as used I in cooking dried fruit), and therefore can

be heated to a higher degree, will keep up the temperature longer when put into the cooker. Thus the density of the food material, as well as the amount and the length of time that thi apparatus retains the heat, must be taken into consideration in determining how long different materials must be cooked in the cooker. The recipes for dishe3 to be prepared iu the fireless cooker differ somewhat from those for foods cooked in the ordinary way, chiefly in the amount of water or other liquids called for. Less liquid should be put into the food to be prepared in an ordinary fireless cooker, 6ince there is no chance for water to evaporate. The cook must be guided largely by experience in deciding how long the food should be heated before being put into the cooker and how long it should be allowed to remain there.

A OUNG POLITICIAN.

Marion Robertson Martin, the five-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Martin, went with his mamma to the inaugural ceremones of Governor Goodrich and was in the receiving line at the reception held by the Governor. After the inaugural ceremonies Marion walked up to the Governor and said, "I want to squeeze your hand." Mr. Goodrich took him in his arms and said, "My little man, you are worth all the governors in the land." He passed Marion to Mrs. Goodrich, who passed him on to Ex-Governor and Mrs. Ralston, w ho were holding him one by each hand between them when former Vice President Charles Fairbanks came up and said, "I know that little man. I often see him up on Thirtieth Street near my home." When President Wilson visited India-

and the President shook hands with him. When his Grandpa Robertson asked him what the President ' said to him Marion replied, "He took me by the hand and said, "How do you do, youngster." Marion says that he voted for nughes, but he lost his vote because Wilson was elected.

OH1 SHINING SHOES.

TWIN a democracy it is fitting that a l!Jj man should sit on a throne to have

his shoes polished or, to use a brighter, gayer word, shined. We are al kings, and this happy conceit of popular government is nicely symbolized by being, for these shining moments, so many kings together, each on his similar throne and with a slave at his feet. The democratic idea suffers a little from the difficulty of realizing that the slave is also a king, yet gains a little from the fair custom of the livelier monarchs to turn from left foot to right and from right to left, so that, within human limbs, neither shoe shall be undemocralically shinsd fret."

Rye will thrive on acid or poor soils where wheat will not grow well and may be planted on any soil later than wheat. It makes one of the earliest spring pastures and ia excellent as a green manure. These characteristics make rye an important factor in farm economy, even in sections wehre its yield of grain is not as profitable as that of
