The RURAL NEW-YORKER 
A Rhode Island Clambake 
(Continued from Page 695) 
lb. average, % lb. fish, preferably blue- 
fish ; one-fourth of Spring chicken ; four 
sausages; lb. tripe; two onions; two 
sweet and white potatoes; two ears green 
corn ; sliced onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, 
and brown bread. Watermelon ends the 
repast. The old-fashioned method of 
preparation was to line a wide, shallow 
pit with round stones, build a huge fire, 
and after the stones become thoroughly 
heated, remove all hot embers, and ashes, 
throw in a quantity of seaweed, place the 
articles to be cooked on the steaming 
weeds, cover with more weeds and on all 
a thick tarpaulin or sailcloth and steam 
for three or four hours. But the more 
modern, quicker, and to my mind, a far 
more satisfactory method is known as 
the “barrel bake.” New, tight, sugar 
barrels are sunk into holes in the ground 
three-fourth of their height and the earth 
or sand is tamped around them tightly. 
In the meantime, a fire has been built 
close by, cord wood piled up cobliouse 
fashion, to the height of a foot or so. 
From then up, as the wood pile is built, 
round, dry stones, size of 2 qt. or 4 qt. 
wooden measure are placed among the 
sticks of wood, allowing about 18 such 
size stones for each barrel of bake. When 
this pile has been fired, and reduced to 
a glowing mass of coals, if properly made 
and tended the rock will be cherry red, 
and ready for the cooking. Now work 
rapidly. 
With a long-handled rake and fork, re¬ 
move these red-hot stones, and place 
about a dozen in bottom of the barrel. 
Immediately place a 'bushel or so of sea¬ 
weed or rockweed on the hot stones ; then 
place the various articles hastily in the 
barrel, more weed on top ; cover with wet 
bags, over that a thick tarpaulin or 
blanket, and over all two or three inches 
of soil. The idea is to retain and prevent 
the escape of the rapidly forming and 
tremendous quantity of steam in the bar¬ 
rel. The more steam that is present in 
the barrel the sonner will the bake 
be thoroughly cooked. If the party is 
large enough, the clams should be cooked 
separately, as in a tight barrel, with a 
good steam, they will he at their best in 
about 20 to 30 minutes. The other in¬ 
gredients will require from 1^ to two 
hours to be nicely cooked. If a small 
bake, one barrel size, is to be put up, place 
the clams on top, last of all, to the end 
that the juices of this shellfish will flow 
down through the rest of the bake, thus 
adding to the flavor. The clams are not 
really spoiled by this long cooking but 
are not as soft and juicy as when cooked 
a shorter period, and by themselves. Al¬ 
though lobsters and sweet corn are often 
baked in the barrel, I prefer to cook 
(boil) the lobsters the day before, and 
keep them iced till served. -Corn in a 
bake is always dry and hard. Place the 
corn in rapidly boiling water in a boiler, 
cover tighly, just as the first course, 
clams are being served, keep boiling for 
four or five minutes, just enough to set 
the “milk.” Pour off the water, and re¬ 
place the corn, and keep steaming till 
ready to serve. Corn cooked this way 
is really delicious, and applies also to 
home cooking. Most good tender sweet 
corn is spoiled by cooking too long. 
All the ingredients of the bake, should 
be placed in squares of cheesecloth about 
3 by 3 ft. and tied; each sort of food by 
itself, for convenience in removing from 
the barrel, because when the covers are 
taken off the inside is certainly a hot 
place, and quick movement is necessary 
to avoid burns to the hands, arms and 
face. 
Now, observe this point carefully : Use 
stones for the cooking that have never 
before been in a fire. This is imperative. 
Also use stones that are as dry as pos¬ 
sible. If damp and wet, the moisture in¬ 
side will generate enough steam to shat¬ 
ter them into small pieces that will not 
retain heat. I have said earlier in this 
article to allow about 18 stones for each 
barrel when making the fire, and use 12 
or so. Some will break too badly to be 
used, and others will not be hot enough, 
so allow enough margin to be sure of hav¬ 
ing plenty. An underdone bake is a mel¬ 
ancholy affair, and causes great disap¬ 
pointment, as well as quite a financial 
loss. The “chef” on an occasion of this 
kind will always have an interested, con¬ 
tinuous and appreciative following dur¬ 
ing the bake, especially if it is a new idea 
in the community. Use the so-called 
“rockweed,” if possible to get it. This is a 
brown, ropy, sea growth, 12. to 18 in. 
long, attached to rocks along the sea¬ 
shore, with little air bladders along the 
stems an inch or so apart, like beads 
strung on a string. Some use eelgrass, a 
thin, narrow, grass-like growth from mud 
flats, in salt water, but this is much in¬ 
ferior to the rockweed, as it does not fur¬ 
nish so desirable a flavor, though it is 
much used where rockweed is not to be 
had. If any of your readers will follow 
these (I hope) full directions, they cer¬ 
tainly can hope to obtain as good results 
as can be produced by the writer.

You Cart Grow 
Scabby Potatoes 
Jf you want to. 
But you dorit 
have ta Just use 
Inoc-Sul 
Inoculated Sulphur 
It will positively overcome the scab organism 
and keep the crop clean , bright and marketable 
Inoc-Sul is dependable insurance against potato scab. It cleans 
up infected fields—it keeps uninfected fields clean. It is inexpensive 
and easily applied, requiring no special machinery. Broadcast by 
hand, fertilizer or lime broadcaster, or seed drill. 
Inoc-Sul strikes at the very root of the potato 'scab evil— it 
overcomes the scab organism IN THE SOIL, not merely the scab on 
the seed, as does seed treatment. 
Furthermore, sulphur is one of the necessary plant foods. There¬ 
fore, Inoc-Sul may function as an important element of fertility. 
Inoc-Sul when correctly applied to the soil will absolutely be of 
no harm whatever to the potato crop, or any other crop. 
Soils seldom naturally contain too much sulphur, and are very 
apt not to contain enough. 
Write us today. We will without cost or obligation tell you all 
about Inoc-Sul— what it is—where to get it—how to use it—how it 
will save your market losses. Tell us now many acres of potatoes 
you will plant and the name of your dealer. Our reply will be worth 
dollars to you.
