Another Study on Household Equipment. 517 boiled in one pot and the chimney place was so large that an entire beef might be roasted at one time. "A fireplace filled the room one side With half a cord of wood in-— There warn't 110 stoves (tell comfort died) To bake ye to a ;—Lowell. There was a time in the colonies when the stove was set in the outside wall of a house with the door opening otit of doors. The housekeeper went outside to put wood in the stove. Finally the coal and gas ranges and the electric cookers have improved conditions for cooking. The principle of cooking is ever the same, to continue to furnish fuel to sup- ply the wasted heat. This requires constant watching and is an expen- sive part of housekeeping as well as one to take the time and strength of the housekeeper. In the German army for some years the " Hay Box " has been used to advantage and it is recommended to housewives as a means of saving fuel and securing good results in cooking cereals, chicken, macaroni, or anything requiring long, slow cooking or steaming. The cooker ina}^ be only a close, wooden box with good cover lined with hay, excelsior, asbestos, cork or other non-conducting material. The principle is to retain the heat which is generated by use of any ordi- nar}^ coal, gas or oil fire. Nests should be made in the hay in which will fit closely the pots containing the articles to be cooked. The food is to be brought to the boiling point in utensils which must be very closely covered and placed in the nests prepared in the hay or other non-con- ducting material with which the box is lined. The box must be closed immediately in order to conserve the heat. The outside cool air cannot reach the utensils nor the inside hot air escape. The food continues to cook evenly and thoroughly
