To Clean a Close Stove or Open Range.
Scrape out all the ashes and brush up all the dust. Then, with a brush, thoroughly clean the flues. Brush the stove over with liquid blacklead, and when it is dry polish with brushes. Then clean any steel about the stove and the fire-irons and fender with emery-paper; any brass with brick-dust well rubbed on with a leather.
Brush all the dust from the oven, and wipe it round with a cloth wrung out of hot water.
