A HINT TO PLAIN COOKS.
To the Editor of the Lyttelivn Times.
Sir, — By the medium of your journal, I desire to introduce to your fair readers a very nobby little dodge, which* if they will adopt, there will cease to be heard throughout the length and breadth of this smiling land those frequent lamentations upon the oft reccurring subject of breaking backs, burnt skirts, and new breadths, necessary consequents upon the inconvenience of the camp oven, as ordin* arily used, and which they must for the future re* quest their lords and masters to have set "a la Uheckly,!' after the example of an ingenious media* nic of that name lately settled in our advancing town..
The right hob is constructed twice as broad as the opposite one 5 in this hob the camp oven i* imbedded, space being left for the tire and. smoke to pass underneath it (by an aperture opening to the fire) Which, ascending by a false chimney of three feet, enters the main chimney by a hole inita top, at the side. This manner of setting makes the action of the oven perfect, and lias a very neiit appearance. Your obedient servant,. UTILITAS JDODGE. Akaroa. Aue-tist. 23. 1859.
