More than 2,500 engineers in the employ of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad have been granted an increase in wages, amounting to about 6 per cent, commencing Saturday, according to information given out by officials of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. W. J. Wood, chairman of the state railroad commission, has withdrawn his application for appointment as secretary of the interstate commerce commission. Mr. Wood preferred, he said, to remain in Indiana and give his attention to important matters before the commission. With the passage of an excursion train carrying 400 Evansville, Ind., and Mount Carmel, 111., business men over its tracks Saturday, the new Big Four line into Evansville was formally opened.

DON’T MISTREAT "BROODY” HERS

Many people resent the attempt of Biddy to set. Seemingly overlooking the fact that it is the nature of the bird and not her wilful desire to do something her owner does not want done. A hen cannot help becoming broody any more than a man can help being hungry eating. It is useless cruelty to douse a broody hen in cold water or place her in a coop with a floor made of slats through which she is constantly falling, or to confine her in a close, dark coop. None of these things are necessary. Of course, if it is not desirable to have the hen set at a certain time she must be carried over the period when nature drives her to it, but as a good sitter is always valuable to the breeder she should be treated with kindness. A good way to discourage a broody hen is to place her with others in a not too roomy coop with a slatted front where she can see the other chickens scratching and running about. She should be fed sparingly because at this time her appetite is greatly reduced. If she is fed once a day it will be sufficient, but her feed Should increase to keep pace with her •appetite. Of course no two hens are exactly alike, nor can specific treatment be accorded to each individual. This being the case, it would be good sense to treat all alike and with uniform kindness, keeping in mind always her valuable qualities and her good condition when she is wanted to rear a family.

BE SURE AND TEST YOUR SEED CORN

The climatic conditions which prevailed during the last weeks, last summer, while the corn crop was ripening, were such that, despite the great size of the crop, it is found difficult to secure seed corn in sufficient quantities, the germinating power of which can be relied upon. Seedsmen and farmers are having the same experience. It becomes every farmer, then, who expects a fair crop of corn next fall, to exercise unusual care in the testing of his seed. He should not only select the most promising ears, but should test it ear by ear. He will very probably be surprised at the number of ears will have to reject as non-germinating. He may even find that he cannot, from his own selected ears, get a sufficiency of reliable seed. But there should be no foolish “risking it" in planting without testing. Better undergo a large amount of trouble and save much expense, than invite failure of the crop by planting at a venture. It is dealing with just such emergencies as this that the “new farming’* proves its superiority to the old.

RHEUMITISM IN PIGS

Rheumatism is commonly caused by allowing hogs to eteep in damp, filthy and improperly ventilated quarters. The system of ventilation should be such that there will be no direct currents of air striking the animals. The sun should have free access to the houses at all times. Tlhls will keep the sleeping quarters in a dry, sanitary condition. When affected with rheumatism, the animals generally become unthrifty, and fail to make proper use of their feed, the appetite becomes dull which gives rise .to the rough, scraggy coat. Prevention should be the first alm of the owner, and to accomplish this, the yards, pastures and houses should be made dry and clean. Damp bedding and cold floors should be avoided. If the hog house has a cement floor, false wooden floors Should be provided, especially in the sleeping apartment of the building. Other treatment is of little avail if comfortable sanitary quarters are not provided. •

Lime In Oyster Shells

The oyster shell theory is a fact. One pound of shells contains sufficient lime to manufacture dozens of eggs. The only proper way to feed them is to have a small box within roach so the fowls can help themselves at will. Mixing the shells In the morning mash is a risky job, as a fowl is apt to thus- consume more than she will need, and the shells of the egg become too hard.

Turpentine Has Many Uses Around House

Turpentine has many uses, about the house, a mixture of two parts olive oil and one part of turpentine will remove spots and linger marks from varnished furniture, while a few drops of turpentine in trunks and boxes will keep moths away. A flannel dipped in hot water and sprinkled with turpentine is a remedy for a hoarse throat, while a rag soaked in this fluid put into a mousehole will destroy mice more effectively than a trap of poison.

Chocolate Cake

Melt two ounces of chocolate in a double boiler. Add to this* the yolks of two eggs beaten with one-half of a cupful of milk, stir carefully until the mixture forms a soft paste; remove from the fire, add two tablespoonfuls of butter, one cupful of sugar and one-half teaspoonful of salt. Dissolve one level teaspoonful of soda in a little warm water and add to one-half cup of sweet milk. Add this to the chocolate mixture alternately with one and one-half cupfuls of sifted flour, stirring and beating until batter is well mixed and smooth. Turn into a flat shallow pan and bake for twenty-five minutes in a moderate oven. The cake must be carefully baked and tested as to its being thoroughly done before removing from oven. Use a white frosting on this cake. Boil a cupful of sugar and one-half cupful of water without stirring until it forms a thread when dropped from the tines of a fork. Beat this into the white of an egg which has been beaten until stiff. Continue beating until the mixture is cool enough to spread on the cake without running. §pread it smooth with a knife dipped in hot water.

Newport Cake

This cake is in great demand all over the country and teachers of cooking are besieged with requests for it Beat one cup of butter, to a oieam and gradually beat into It one cup and a half of sifted- flour, sifted again with a level teaspoonful Of baking powder. Beat the yolks of five eggs until lemon colored and chick, then gradually beat into them one cup and a half of sifted powdered sugar. Now gradually beat the two mixtures together. Lastly beat in the whites of five eggs beaten dry and one tablespoonful of brandy. Lake in a loaf one hour; in a sheet about forty-five minutes. The oven should be of moderate heat especially at first. The cake is very fine grained, tender and delicate.

Honey Cakes

Beat to a cream one-half cupful of butter and one cupful of powdered sugar. Beat into this one egg well beaten and one-half cupful of strained honey. Stir the two cupfuls of pastry flour previously* sifted with two teaspoonfuls of baking powder and last stir in one-half cupful of finely chopped filberts. Let the mixture stand where it is very cold (do not freeze) overnight. When ready to bake roll the dough very thin, cut into fancy shapes, brush them over with the white of an egg diluted with a teaspoonful of warm water. Sprinkle the cakes with granulated sugar and chopped filberts. Bake them in .a hot oven until a golden brown.

Oatmeal Scones

To one cupful of well-cooked oatmeal porridge add one cupful of milk one tablespoonful of melted butter, one teaspoonful of brown sugar and one saltspoonful of salt. Mix these together well. Sift two teaspoonfuls of baking powder with one cupful of flour, and stir it into the mixture, adding more flour as needed to make a dough just stiff enough to handle. Roll out half an inch thick, cut with a eharp biscuit cutter and bake to a delicate brown on a hot buttered griddle.

Chocolate Nut Pudding

One-half cup soft tiread crumbs, one-half cup grated chocolate, one cup scalded milk, one-half cup chopped nuts, pinch of salt, yolk of one egg one-half ‘cup sugar. Mix these ingre (Hants. When well blended fold in the beaten white o f the egg. Season with one teaspoonful of vanilla and bate in individual molds from twenty to thirty minutes.

Beads on Parasol

Bead embroidery is in evidence on parasols, as it is everywhere else, and some good effects are obtained by using the beads as a border dr to motifs on each panel. Beads are also used on the handle, where they are imbedded to the wood in intricate designs or used to simulate eyes and feathers when one of Che new bird handles is decorated.

Jeweled Purses

Among the bags to be carried at the theater or with an elaborate evening gowii is one covered entirely with rhinestones. This is lined with white kid or satin in pale tints and forms a perfect blaze of jewels when reflecting artificial light.

To remove paint from glass, dis solve some washing soda in very hot water and wash the windows with it, using a very soft flannel.
