The cook and the cookee join drives in building up this monument to high art in culinary. The woods cook usually bakes a tin wash boiler nearly full og beans, first par boing them before -he gets thom ready for the pot. Then he peels an onion and slices it into the bottom of the pot. Then he pours in half the beans; then slices over them another onion; then puts in the chunks of salt fat pork; then douses in the rest of the beans. Over all this lie pours a pint of mo lasses and then more pork. Just enough water is added to cover tihe beans, and then a sheet of birch bark is placed over the top of the pot and 'the cover p)ounded in tight. When the water begins to steam the bark swells and seals the pot, holding in all the flavor. The cookee (there's all the dif ference In the world, between the cook and the cookee) buirds the fire in the bean hole. When the birch wood has heated the stones that line the hole Iand has itself burned to redhot coals 1nmost of the coals are taken out and the beans are put in. The beans are placed in the hole in the afternoon. They stay there all night. In the ] norning they are dug out.
