m THE COOK STOVE $rff& HY is it that I burn out so many I'.'fl sets of stovo linings?" some-B&ai some-B&ai ono asks. Lot me tell you. Uso a little moro caro than you havo been using; watch and see that a clinker is not allowed to form on the lining, and if ono does form remove re-move it carefully with tho poker. At night tho flro box should bo oven full of coal after raking out all the dead cinders and ashes in tho range. Never flfl your stovo with coal abovo tho top of tho lining. Never uso a Bimicer when it is possible to avoid it; instead uso tho poker freely and you will havo a better Arc and uso less coal. Shaking Shak-ing tho flro brings it down into a solid mass and tho air cannot clrculato through. When the flro becomes dull, do not stir it over tho top or put in wood, but rake out the cinders and open tho drafts. At night do not closo tho drafts as tho coal for the night is put on, let It burn a short timo until it Is warm all through. Thoro Is then very little danger of gas, even if tho stovo is a poor ono, and always run the rango so that you can get all tho heat needed without having tho top rcdhot, as this will warp tho covers.
