18—Lancaster Farming, Saturday. June 10, 1972
r 1
After visiting an elegant An
tique Show in Lancaster, I
thought over all the varied items
displayed there and suddenly
remembered one that wasn’t
shown. Maybe this particular
kitchen article was too big and
heavy or maybe it is something
we’d rather forget.
I’m thinking of the black and
nickel stove which burned wood
or coal. It seemed our wood box
was always empty and we con
tinually needed a bucket of wood
chips to start the fire or give it
extra heat at mealtime.
We practically wore out a
metal turner making fried mush
for breakfast and fried potatoes
for supper.
This stove had a warming

cabinet on the top and a tank on
the side to hold hot water for
washing dishes. It also seemed to
be always empty when my turn
came to clean up. So I had to take
the bucket off the corner of the
dry sink and go outside and pump
a bucketful.
Many times the pump had to be
“primed” first. If you don’t know
what that means, it is an
operation whereby you only can
get water after pouring some into
the top opening to establish
suction. And if you’d used all the
water, where did you get some to
prime the pump. Lucidly we had
three pumps.
We children didn’t think much
of all the pumping required to fill

Society 2
Farm Women Society 2 met
recently at the home of Mrs.
Mary Floyd, Manheim. Co
hostess for the meeting was Mrs.
Mae Fisher.
A business meeting was con
ducted by Mrs. Mae Hosier,
Manheim, president, during
which FFA awards were
presented to a senior high school
boy and girl.
Members plan to sew ditty bags
for service personnel serving in
Vietnam.
Mrs. Alice Lillar, LARC, was
the guest speaker for the af
ternoon. Her topic was the
LARC program and the prepared
trough after trough for thirsty
steers.
Sometimes I wonder how we
would manage today without our
time-saving and back-saving
electric stoves and pumps.

It is odd how our two little 4-H
pigs manage to know when we’ve
borrowed the battery for some
other use and their electric fence
is no longer charged. They are
immediately in the meadow and
all over the place.
The other night, just as it was
getting dark, the children fanned
out in several directions to find
them. One followed the creek
bank and one started up the lane
when the youngest child called
“They are right here in the pig
house.” They had their adventure
and returned home to rest.

Now more than ever it is the system
