TO BAKE IN A BRICK OVEN.
A brick oven will require one hour to heat. The wood should be split fine; make a little fire at first, then add more wood; when the oven is white at the top, it is sufficiently hot. Spread the coals over the bottom of the oven, and let them remain a quarter of an hour.
Rusk or biscuit, if they are very light, will bake in from ten to fifteen minutes. Bread requires one hour.
