Things to Know and Do igi On the prairies and plains, since buffaio chips are no more, we use horse and cow chips, kindled with dry grass and roots of sage-brush, etc. To keep a fire alive all night, bank the coals: i.e., bury them in ashes. Always put out the fire on leaving camp. It is a crime to leave a burning fire. Use buckets of water if need be. Can^ Cookety See Horace Kqduul's "Bode tA Qunj^ and Wood- craft." B/ In most camps the staples are: cocoa, coffee ! (or tea), baa>n, game, fi^, and hardtack, baiw , nocks or biscuit. ^ To make these take X pint flour, I teaspoonful of baking-powder, Half as much salt. Twice as much grease or lard, With water enough to make iiito p>aste, say one-half a pint. When worked i*" si oth dough, shiapc it into wafers half an inch thick three ^Jies across, ^et in a greased tin, which is tilted xiear a steady £re. Watch and turn the tin till all are brownea evenly.
