dition is inherited by the domestic
duck. The temper of the drake is
spoken of as abominable: his perse-
cution of other poultry is never ceas-
ing, and he is credited with having
attacked even children when his dan
der was up."The flesh Of the muscovy
is considered very good when they are
young, and faVorably with
that of any other duck. They do not
lay nearly so many Eggs as the com
mon kinds. When raising these ducks
their wings must be clipped to keep
them from flying.
The head of the muscovy duck is
rather long, and in the drake it is
large, the top being covered with long
crest-like feathers, which rise and fall

is the most distinctive part Of these
ducks. the cheeks being naked, with a
scarlet feshy space around the eyes,,
and the base Of the bill c~arunculated
also with scarlet folds. This large,

ance, and to some it is hideous The

AND WHITE MUSCOVY
DUCKS.
Nv G.. A. HOWARD.

Muscovy ducks form "a distinct ge-
nus. having several peculiarities which
make them different from others
They are sometimes called the musk
duck, owing TO the ordor of mush
which ~pervades the skin, but which
is no noticeable when cooked. In
Brazil they are extensively domesti-
Gated and are priced very highly for
eating. In this country and Europe.
particularly in Germany, they are
bred in large numbers. Wild musco-
vies are easily frightened and very
good flyers: they fly into trees when
alarmed and remain there for long
periods Of time before leaving their
place of concealrnent. They some
times build their nests in branches OF
trees. and also in holiows near water.
Muscovy ducks are very unsatisfac-
tory birds to keep on the farm with
other poultry owing to their quarrel
some and puganaclous natures. In
the wild state, the males fight desper-
ately. doing great harm to each other;
and this fighting, ~quarrelsome dispo-

against anything that is a departure
from the old ways and their deeply
worn rutS that Savors of progress.
Fortunately the number Of those who
would put obstacles in the way Of i'm
provement are growing less and wo-
man is learning that scientific inven-
ton is her best friend.
During the past few years there has
beer great advance in the ~freless
cookers. Those first on the market
and still in use could only stew and
boil. The food must be started on
the fame stove and allowed to boil
until the process Of cooking was we'll
under way.
Then, when placed in the alright
receptacle Of lie cooker, every par
ticle of the heat was conserved and
with no possibility Of evaporation the
iavors Of the food were preserved.
Food that required long cooking
like meats had to be reheated every
few hours till the process was COM
plete. Good results and delicious
dishes were afforded by these old r
cookers. n toughest meats, the
oldest fowls became tender and appe-
tizing under this method. By the use
of a little ingenuity much variety
could be secured even with the older
style of cooker
1t was found that food cooked in
this way was not only good, but far
more digestible than when cooked
over the flame; n people with sen
sitive stomachs soon learned to recog-
nize in the new method a help in over
coming the very real foe to comfort
nj happiness, that old -bogy, dys-
pepsia.
Then, the women found it such a
relief to tuck away food in the cooker
and leave it to work out it's mission.
fearing neither burning or o%verdone-
ness. This left the mind free for
other duties and lifted much Of the
strain of homework.
Improvement is the order of the
10th century and the fireless cooker
did not escape the c~ontagion. Some

HOW TO USE THE FTRELESS
COOKER
BY Mrs. S. B. Titterington.

BY Mrs. S. B.. Titterington.
Modern invention is helping to solve
many of woman's problems. One of
the most insistent and perennially re-
curing Of these problems Is the fur
nishing OF well cooked foo in appe-
tizing variety and at a minimum ex-
penSe as regards physical strength
and the family exchequer.
The ~fireless cooker is the most prac-
teal help to the solution Of this prob
lem yet offered. 1t would seem that
this new kitchen adjunct was becom-
ing so we'll known and so extensively
used that argument in it's favor would
be quite s~uperfiuOuS; but not long
since an article appeared in a domestic
science department of a we'll known
journal disparaging the efforts to in
troduce ~freless cookers in the home.
The writer of the article tated that
she knew Of several cases in which
the husbands after hearing such a lee
ture, asked their wives if they would
like this new tangled continuance.
According to her statement every
one OF the wives declared she wouldn't
be bothered with it. One kindly dis
posed husband bought a poker and
took it home to his wife, only to have
1t given a Single-hearted trial and then
set aside as useless lumber and a SYM
Dol of wasted money.
1t is evident that this writer was
a~ntagonistic to all efforts to help the
farmers wives to an easier lot.
Now In this case one of two things
is evident. Either the writer Of this
article failed to inform herself along
progressive lines and the remarkable
success Of the ~fireless cookers, the
rapid growth in their manufacture
and sale n the enthusiastic testi-
mony OF thousands-yes tens Of thous-
ands of women whose daily toll has
been lightened by his simple inven.
ton.

DO REALL WONDERFUL WORK
Spiders in Paraguay Spin Webs That
Might Almost Be Referred
to as Cables.

The roads Of Paraguay are about
five yards wide throughout, and the
trees meet overhead at height of
some Is feet, thus forming tunnel
of very uniform dimensions. In the
clear parts of this tunnel, that is,
where it Is not choked up with the
giant nettle-it is full, from roof to
ground, of enormous spiders webs,
stretching clear across the road, the
big trees usually being chosen as
anchorages and the total clear span
being thus more like eight yards than
five.
The main cables or framework of
the nets are composed OF five or six
strands of thick yellow web, and are
almost as strong as cotton thread, says
the Wide World. The rest of the net
Is made up of single and double
strands of the same stout material,
which is as sticky as it is strong. Ey-
cry yard or so one of these nets ex.
tends across ones path, making it
necessary to hold a cutlass or a fairly
stout stick at arms length In front as
one walks.
The makers Of these troublesome
but picturesque distractions are large,
highly colored, gaudy-looking spiders,
with bodies that look as If they were
about to explode, they are so blown
cut and glossy.
At intervals in some more open
space where the sky is visible, one
will notice a different kind of web.
far more irregular in shape. but far
larger than the others. Not content
with the space available in the tun-
mel, these webs are stretched in COM
plicated mazes from the ground to the
very tops of the surrounding trees,
with clear spans frequently 20 or 80
yards from one tree to another.
From these main cables smaller
ones extend to the ground-a drop of
10 or 20 yards-and the spaces in be-
tween are filled up with a mass of
webs spun in all directions.
