THE FOLDING BAKER. 
paddle may be used for this purpose. The food is hung 
on nails driven in the board, a strip of bacon, hung 
above the fish and dripping on it would improve the 
flavor. 
It is a good plan to use a separate frying board when 
cooking fish, as the juice from the fish seeps into the 
board and it is practically impossible to remove it by 
cleaning. The flavor of fish is not pleasant on other 
food. If it is not practicable to carry two frying boards 
one can be careful to reserve the same side of one 
board for cooking fish. 
A long cooking spoon for dishing vegetables out of 
the pots is very useful. A roll of paper towels for dry- 
ing dishes and for use as napkins, or cloth dish towels 
and paper napkins are also useful. Other useful ar- 
ticles are a dish mop with a wooden handle, and a pan- 
cake turner. 
The Folding Baker — The baker may be placed before 
the blazing fire. It is a perfect arrangement for baking 
biscuits and roasting meats. 
Friction Top Cans — It is well to have these varying 
in capacity from one to three quarts. Use one 
quart size for washing soda, powdered soap, and sugar
