THE SELF-BASTING ROASTER AND BAKING PAN. 
Scientifically constructed for roasting 
meats, game, poultry, fish; for baking 
bread, cake, biscuit, beans, etc. We use 
it in our house. It is claimed to make 
tough meats and poultry tender and save 
the nutriment of the food generally lost 
through steam and evaporation; that 
things baked or roasted in the pan are 
healther and more digestible, as they re¬ 
tain all their sweetness,flavor and nourish¬ 
ment. No attention need be given to bast¬ 
ing or turning. A poor cook cannot spoil 
the food If it is allowed to remain in 
the oven longer than the usual time, the 
steam keeps the food moist, sweet and fresh. Directions accompany the pan. Dimen¬ 
sions of No. 2 are, 14x10x8% iDches, to hold a 10-pound turkey. Price, $1.25, express not 
prepaid ; with a year’s subscription for $2.50. The No. 3 size is 17x12x9 inches, to hold a 
16-pout d turkey. Price, $1.50; with a subscription for $2 75. No. 5 will hold a 20-pounder. 
Price, $2: with a subscription for $3. No. 2 is given for one new subscription and $2.25 ; 
No. 3 ditto, $2.50 ; No. 5 ditto, $2.75. 
Cooker. 
We have given this a thorough test, and 
find that it keeps the steam and odor from 
the house, saves fuel, saves labor, saves the 
nutritious elements of the food, fits any 
stove, and costs only about one-half the 
price of tin cookers, and we believe it will 
last a lifetime. The juices of meats are 
retained, potatoes are left mealy, and all 
vegetables are much improved, because 
thoroughly steam-cooked. It does the 
work of two or three common iron kettles, 
and better. Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher 
says: “ I have had the Steamless and Odor¬ 
less Cooker in use several weeks. It is des¬ 
tined to make home duties especially 
belonging to the kitchen, much less op¬ 
pressive, besides giving facilities for pre¬ 
paring food much more properly than any 
other contrivance I have yet seen ” Price, 
$2.50. With a year’s subscription, $3 25. 
Given for two new subscriptions and $4.00. 
An Efficient Carpet Sweeper. 
This carpet sweeper possesses all the 
qualities of a broom and dust pan com¬ 
bined, its brush being so constructed as to 
be perfectly self-adjusting under the slight¬ 
est pressure. Lightly running, it will take 
up anything that a broom will, from any 
kind of carpet, while if pressure be given 
to it as with a broom, to remove dirt embed¬ 
ded in the carpet—still running easily—it 
will work wonders, being more effective 
than any broom. Several recent improve¬ 
ments are included in the machine we offer. 
Price, $8; with a year’s subscription $3 50. 
Given for two new subscriptions and $4. 
By express, not prepaid. 
Save the Juices. 
The Morgan broiler consists of two 
wrought steel sections each having con¬ 
caved or grooved bars with a deep channel 
around the rim on the inside, which receive 
the juices. Two steel covers are supplied, 
corrugated to fit between the broiler bars, 
and serve the purpose of a “spreader” to 
the flames, preventing any grease from 
dripping on the burner of a gas, oil or gas¬ 
oline stove ; also serves as a cover for wood 
or coal fire, causing all fumes and odors to 
be drawn into the stove. Broils meats, 
oysters, fish, game, fowls, etc , and toasts 
bread perfectly. Price, $1; sent by express 
prepaid in the United States with a year’s 
subscription for $2.25 Given for a new 
subscription and $2 
The Griffin Rug Machine. 
Handsome rugs are souseful and popular 
that they are taking the place of carpets 
in thousands of homes. The automatic 
feed rug machine furnishes the means of 
making them. This machine makes exactly 
the same stitch or loop that is made by the 
old-fashioned rug “hook” so pleasantly re¬ 
membered by all New England people. It 
enables one to work faster and make a 
more beautiful design. Don’t bend over a 
frame and prick your fingers with a “hook” 
when you can sit in a comfortable chair 
and work this machine with far more satis¬ 
factory results. With a year’s subscrip¬ 
tion, $2 25. Price, $1 15, prepaid.
