turning all sides to the fire.- If it 

 begins to burn move it a little 

 farther from the fire. 



Will bake in ten to fifteen min- 

 utes. Keep the dough revolving 

 all the time or it will bake on 

 only one side. Don't hang it over 

 the fire, but at one side and about 

 ten inches from the ground. 



DRIVING SPLITTING 

 STAKES 



BY WALTER K. SMITH 

 When driving a wooden tent pin 

 that looks as though it might split, 

 take a ^-inch or ^-inch rope 

 (usually the guy rope that the 

 stake is intended for) and wind it 

 tightly around the stake, begin- 

 ning about two inches below the 

 top and winding until the rope is 

 about even with the top of stake. 

 Hold the rope with the left hand 

 and drive stake with the right. 



A TIN CAN OUTFIT 



BY F. W. KENDALL 

 This outfit is made from used 

 cans from the household supplies. 

 The tools used are a tack hammer, 

 an old pair of shears, a pair of 

 pliers and a nail. The time of 

 making is about four hours, with 

 no cash outlay. 



The outfit is intended for two 

 people, but with the addition of 

 cups and plates, a couple more may 

 be served. 



To make the stove, get two gal- 

 lon fruit cans and cut out the 

 tops and bottoms, leaving the 

 seamed edges for stiffness. Cut 

 the cans up the sides to the 



top, then each way close under 

 the rims, leaving half the top 

 uncut. Straighten out the cut 

 flaps. Place the caps about 16 

 inches apart, then measure for 

 the side pieces. Seam on these 

 and pound flat. Cut a piece of tin 

 for a spider brace to go on the 

 top. Make this an inch large all 

 around and then cut in gashes so 

 the tin may be bent about the wire 

 rims of the holes. Bend down 

 the ends of the spider over the 

 sides of the stove, punch holes 

 through the ends and through the 

 seams. Make wire staples of hay 

 bale wire, or the like. Place these 

 in holes and hammer the ends 

 tight down. 



Use small round boxes for the 

 stovepipe. Cut out the bottoms 

 and hammer the edges flat. One 

 can is cut off at an angle for the 

 stove collar. Place the oblique 

 end against the stove and mark 

 for the smoke hole. Cut out the 

 tin so as to leave a half-inch mar- 

 gin from the line. Score this 

 margin to the line every half-inch, 

 making tabs to hold the pipe in 

 place. Bend every other tab out, 

 then place the pipe inside these 

 and bend all the tabs to fit. Fas- 

 ten the point of the pipe and the 

 lowest tab by a stable rivet. 

 Crimp one end of each box so 

 that they fit one over the other. 

 Use pieces of tin for stove covers. 



Dig out the dirt under the edge 

 of the stove when in use for 

 draught. 



The fry pan is made from an 

 octagon of tin with one side made
