Efficiency: These Devices
Tighten Houseyork
Every Woman Her Own Miller

IN ERHAPS you do not even want to grind
your own coffee, much less your
meal And then perhaps you do grind
your coffee freshly each time it is used and
know how much more fragrant it is that way.
If so, grinding grain will be only slight in
novation.
If you have tried in vain to get the "whole"
wheat or rice flour or cornmeal that suited
you the thought of buying the grains and
watching the fine, soft -four fall from your
little home mill may allure you even in these
busy days. You must do more than watch"
however; it means also some working and
waiting, but it is no harder work than beat
ing an angel cake or whipping cream and
eggs, and it is much more worth while.
In these days, when equal amounts of other
grains must be bought with wheat it is
fine chance to experiment with the small home
grinder. Happy the woman who has some
motive power, electricity, a gas engine, SO
that she can replace the fywheel with belt
pulley wheel and need only watch the ma
chine work out of the corner of her eye while
she goes about some other task. (Figure ~
The household grstmis now on the mar
ket are of two types; they either have con-
zeal shaped grinding surface placed directly
below the hopper or else there is a scroll-llke
feed screw that moves the grain toward disk
like grinders The first type of mill (see Fig
ure y is comparatively large 1t is meant to
be permanently mounted on bench or shelf
and has a small hywheel handle for turning
the grinders This style is usually easier to
turn than the other, having the disk grinders
(see Figure 81, but takes little longer to
do the work.
The disk grinder (Figure 81 resembles the
familiar meat chopper, and like it can be
clamped to table or shelf and taken down
when not in use. 1t does require greater
effort to turn this type of machine, but by
setting it so that a coarser meal is obtained
and putting the flour through twice this diff
Guilty is minimized.
With the hywheel type of grinder sixteen
ounces of true "whole wheat or graham flour
(of which one and one-half ounces are bran)
can be produced from the berry in twelve min
utes; with the crank type machine it took only
ten minutes In both cases the wheel was turned
at a speed of about seventy-five to hundred
revolutions per minute. In other words, it
would take from fifteen to twenty minutes
to mill enough flour to make two loaves of
bread. The cost also is slightly less, though
there is not much difference in the cost
of the and wheat and their hours as
there is between the rice and tempered oats
and their nllled products. Rice, for instance,
at o to Is cents pound can be ground into
flour that would cost II cents at the store;
: and the rolled oats are only z cents, while
the -four would cost 10. Barley also at 8
cents can be home ground into flour that
would cost 10 cents.
The corn and rye are becoming as scarce
as the wheat almost and quite as high in
price; the wheat substitutes most in favor
just are potatoes, barley, oats and rice.

Cake making is fast becoming one of the
lost arts. And for cake serving, l should
be very apprehenslve as to the result of the
shock if there should now be offered a plate
of old fashioned cake, with eggs, butter and
white -four literally advertising themselves in
every slice of its delicious richness and real
old-fashioned "frostng" dark or light, tempt
ing us with its soft, creamy abundance
However, some sweets we must have, and
"cookies" lend themselves well as a substitute
for cake, as really needed addition to many
sparsely sweetened simple desserts, as an ac-
compartment to a refreshing and inexpensive
coup O tea" as an allowable treat for the
little ones.
Even in these days of substitution and con-
servation it is still permissible to fill the
cookie jar with toothsome and appetizing COM
binations requiring little or no sugar few eggs
and a portion only of white -four or none at
all. AS for butter, oeo, "drppngs" or any
good and less expensive "shortening" take
its place so successfully that it's absence can
never be detected. In fact, some of the fol-
lowing recipes often preferred when we
could make our choice without reference to
saving these materials

the men folk, young and old.
