GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
BY Henrietta Granei.
THE WAFFLE IRON.

While it is true that many utensils are

there are far more that are helpful. 1t is
| not matter for commcndation to work
/ with too few tools. A carpenter can put
a house together with an AK and some
nails, but his work will be far more attrac-
| tive if he uses a hammer and a saw also.
A visitor asked me for waffle recipe
recently, and her husband complained that
| they never had these delectable hot cakes
! at their house, as his wifo seemed to feel
that she could never learn to make them.
| Cant you tell her the trick?" he begged

Just then the horse stumbled over
a big rock which lay in the road. But
Peter only struck the animal with his
whip and rode off quickly. Hans pulled
his way up the hill and soon disappeared
The sun began to sink toward the
West
''The two brothers will soon be on
their WAY down the mountain" said
the brownie aloud, so | will fix up n

He reached down deep into his pocket
and drew out n heavy purse of gold Then
with q stick nc lifted up the edge of the
rock and placed the purse beneath it,

Presently down the road Peter came
trotting ON his fine stecd. The horse
was hurried by the whip, and us 1T swung
around the curve its feet struck the rock
and down it fell, Peter being thrown
over its head into pile of briars and then
rolling into the muddy ditch. Up he got
very angry. He seized the poor horse and
commenced to beat it furiously. But the
horse reared, turned and kicking out its
hind legs, hit Peter such blow in the
stomach that he was sent flying down
the rocky sides of the mountain out
of sight. The animal raced away in happy
freedom.
Hardly had the brownie stopped
laughing at this event when around
the road came Hans. He was weary and
plodded as if worn out, but he caught
sight of the stone and stopped.
'It was this very rock which caused
my brothers steed to stumble this
morning he said aloud. $50 | will
move il out of the way TO pevent any
one from getting hurt" Hc did not
know what had happened few moments
before to Peter.
So Hans bent his weary back, and
by pushing hard managed to roll the
rock to the side out Of the way. And
there under it he found the purse OF
gold.
''I guess this belongs to me all right,
he exclaimed as he put it in his pocket.
II never dreamed of getting any reward,
but since it has been placed here for the
one who moves the stone, | am sure | am
entitled to It. =

brownie, coming out from under the

Bumps, the brownie, sat in the shade by
the side of his road. This was real road
which wound around theside of mountain
and over which people travelled great
deal. But all knew that just at this point
Bumps made his home, so it went by his
name.
The way was smooth and easy to
climb, and Bumps took great pride in
having the highway nice near his home.
This spring afternoon, Bumps enjoyed
the sunshine and also the sight of two men
coming up the road toward him. One
whose name was Peter, rode fine horse
while the other walked by his side bearing
heavy sack. Bumps hid in a bush as
they drew near.
This bag is very heavy, brother
Peter" sighed Hans. II think you might
allow your horse to take it up to the
mountain for me.
"You are big, lazy lout," snapped
Peter. "And | do not mean to trouble

USE MUCH COAL
Require Almost Twenty-Five Per Gent
of the Total Output of
the Country.

Figures compiled by c. z. Lcsher Of
the United States geological survey
show that 136OOOO00 tons of bitumi-
nous coal. 6.T35.o coo net tons of Penn,
sylvania anthracite and 22.05O tons Of
coke were used by the railroads in the
United States in 1916. The incrense
in the quantity of bituminous coal
used by the railroads in 1916 was
100000 tons, which was 11.5 per
cent more than 1915. The increase in
the consumption of anthracite by the
railroads was but J35,000 net tons, or
S5 per cent. There was an increase
in railroad consumption of nearly
100000 tons of coal from Illinois,
about 2,S00O00 from Ohio and Of
4,s00000 from West Virginia. The
quantity of coal from Pennsylvania
used by the railroads decreased nearly
100000 tons.
The quantity of bituminous coal
used by the railroads in the eastern
district increased from 56,500.000 to
81, 100000, or IL per cent. The increase
in the Southern district was from D.
100000 to 23,300,000, or 81 per cent,
and in the Western district. from 43.-
100000 to 50,Ooo,0OO, or 10 per cent.
The total quantity of bituminous
coal used by the railroads was about
81 per cent of the total production az
against % per cent in 1915. This
Pennsylvania anthracite used by the
railroads in 1916 was III per cent of
the total anthracite produced and the
combined bituminous and anthracite
used, 142, 1854 tons, was "a per cent
of the output, the same as in 1915.

MAKE WAR ON ONION MALADy
Strong Efforts Going on to Stamp Out
Disease That Is Known
as Neckrot.

To combat neckrot-a destructive
storage rot of onions-in various local
ities of the United States. the United
States department of agriculture next
season is to assist growers in testing
method of controlling the disease
with the hope of putting the method
on a practicable basis for CONNER
cial use. Specialists of the depart
ment will be assigned to the districts
affected to advise farmers and to help
in the installation and equipment of
necessary structures.
The districts known to be infected
include the principal onion-growing
centers in Massachusetts, Connecticut,
Ohio, Indiana, Delaware, Wisconsin
and Oregon. The disease occurs in
other states also. Losses of from %
per cent to T5 per cent in white onion
sets have been recorded in the vicinity
of Chicago and in northern Indiana.
Red and yellow onions are not at
tackled as seriously as the white vari-
ETY..
The disease known as neckrot is
caused by a fungus. The parasite en-
ters the wounded neck of the bulbs ut
harvest time and gradually rots the
scales until they become dried up and
worthless. OF the control measures
that have been tried, artificial drying
of the onion sets in crates just after
harvest has given the best results. The
object of this method is to cure the
necks as soon as possible, and thus
check the fungus before it enters the
flesh scales In various lots treated
recently the rot was reduced from il
per cent TO l per cent; from Al per
cent to per cent; from SO per
cent to per cent. and from % per
cent to 10 per cent.

long and capaciOus, pelvic region
broad and well developed, legs straight
and moderately short, and a generally

may indicate a delicate constitution
If a number Of brood sows are to
be used they should be uniform in
type. This is necessary to secure a
uniform lot OF pigs. 1t is very unsat-
isfactOry and improbable in breeding
to have filters Of pigs varying in ap-
pearance and lacking uniformity. To
insure a uniform result it is advisable
to select from a welI-established strain
of hogs.
As was Indicated in the case OF the
SOW, both parents have practically the
same influence On the quality Of the
offspring; however, the male has the
greater influence on the entire herd,
since every pig is sired by the male,
whereas all pigs do not have the same
dam.
While too much stress cannot be
placed on the Importance OF the sow,
if possible the male should be superior
to the SOW. Regardless Of the type OF
the SOW, a poor male should never be
used.
Secure a pure-bred animal OF a good
strain. The masculine characteristics
should be strongly developed, especial
Iy in the head and neck; the back
should be broad, straight and deeply
heshed; sides deep and long; quarters
well developed; legs straight and
strong. The animal should stand well
up on his toes.
