FURNITURE FOR THE 
SUMMER CAMP 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 111) 
cook upon, smokes less, uses less fire- 
wood, and keeps going longer than any 
open fire whatever. It may be folding or 
rigid, preferably without a bottom, and 
with removable lids. Ten by twelve by 
24 to 36 inches long, — and with an oven, 
by all means! Set it up on a rock, more 
or less level but not necessarily flat, and 
chink up around the bottom with small 
stones, which you remove or put back to 
alter the draft. Tent stoves smoke 
abominably in the hands of the tyro, who 
usually blames the chimney, but it is all 
a matter of draft. At first the fire needs 
lots of air, and should be well open below, 
with one lid off, to burn brightly. After 
a bed of live coals is established, one 
chinks up until just enough draft to keep 
her going is admitted. Finally the door 
alone, or the butterfly air-valve in it, ad- 
mits plenty of air to keep the coals glow-- 
ing redly. The chimney pipe may either 
go up through a hole in the fly, protected 
by an asbestos liner, or the end of the 
stove may project out under the cross 
pole and the chimney come up alongside 
it. In either case a fixed curtain is the 
best way to close that side of the living 
room. 
The living room is ten feet square; 
what shall we put in it? We need first 
a folding table, for eating in comfort. 
This comes in two types, the folding-leg 
type, with 3' by 2' 4" top, and a shelf 
underneath for sugar, butter, milk can 
and other articles that are continually 
being passed around; and the roll type, 
2' x 3', to be spread out on four stakes 
and a pair of cross poles. I have made 
very good tables out of old boards, or a 
pair of logs flattened and the chinks 
filled with sand and clay and a canvas 
cloth thrown over all. Another kind is 
made from a wooden fiber dress-suit case, 
which, when opened out flat and sup- 
ported upside down on four stakes, makes 
a table about two feet square. 
We need also two camp stools, to help 
out the other two brought from the sleep- 
ing tents at meal times, and two canvas 
easy chairs, with folding legs and backs, 
and canvas bottoms and back walls. These 
are very comfortable to read in or lounge 
in — and don’t talk to me of root-made 
camp furniture! You get tired enough 
during the day’s sport, and you want 
comfort, above all, when at home for the 
evening. Where is the comfort in a hard, 
wooden bench or chair of any kind? With 
these easy chairs on each side of the fire- 
place, and the camp stools in the corners, 
you need but a clothes tree for Mackin- 
aws, rain coats, etc., and a rod rack for 
tackle, paddles and gear, to be well fixed 
for a comfortable stay in the forest, for 
a whole summer if possible. 
H OW to transport this outfit to the 
camp site is worthy of thought. A 
friend of mine has invented what he 
calls a folding camp box, about four feet 
by three, with sides and top and a hasp 
and padlock. The whole thing is hinged, 
so that he can open it out flat and make 
a very' respectable floor for the living
