DISCOVERY IN BAKING.--A correspon-
dent Of the Scotsman, writing from
Munich, says:-" have visisted Pro-
fessor Lieblg, and seen his admirable
lecture room aud laboratory, models
for imitation in other countries. lie
told me that in England the bakers use
a great quantity Of alum in making
bread. 1t is employed TO make the
bread white, moist, and soft. 1t acts
by coagulating the gluten OF the wheat,
and it Is deleterious in its effects. He
has discovered that water saturated
with lime produces the same whiteness
in bread, the same softness, and the
same ca capacity toretain moisture, while
the lime removes all acility from the
dough, and supplies an element need
cd in the structure of the bones, which
is deficient in wheat, and still more 50
in rye. ate bread made of it in his
house; it was excellent. He uses five
pounds of water saturated with lime ia
nineteen pounds OF flour. No other
change is necessary in the process ol
baking. The lime coagulates the glu'
ten as eftcctually as alum does. The
bread weighs we'll, aud the bakers con.
sequently approve Of it. He allowed
me to report the discovery at discre.

TO ouR FRIENDS.

WE have just received a lot Of New Types,
w part of which are intended for the con-
tcmplatcd enlargement OF the Recorder, and the
others TO enable US TO execute in better style
Blanks and other Job Work. Our friends will
see from this that we are in earnest in the mat
ter OF the enlargement of our paper, and we
hope to receive sufficient encouragement to en-
able US to do so before the meeting Of the Le-
gislatnrc. All that remains to accomplish il is
The purchase OF new Press. The paper now
is as large as our old Press will print; and be-
sides, having withstooi the assaults Of the Brit
ish in the war of 1914, it is somewhat difficult
to be kept in order, and cannot be safely relied
on. An addition of $50 new subscribers, with
an advance payment, would meet the necessary
expenditure at once. We appeal, then, to our
friends i'm Orange, Alamance, Granville, Person,
and other ncghboring counties, to aid US. By a
little effort from each Of our present subscribers,
all that we require could be accomplished in a
few days. The enlargement would make con-
siderable addition to the amount of reading mat
ter each week, and would greatly increase the
usefulness and efficiency Of the paper. II pro-
perly encouraged, we shall cndeavor to make
the RECORDER not only a faithful exponent OF
Wing principles, but also one OF the best Fami-
ly Papers published in the State. Who will be
the first to respond to our appeal! We have
laborcd faithfully and long in the Wing cause,
and for what we believed to be the true inte-
rests of North Carolina, and surely an appeal
now to the friends with whom we have co-ope.
rated, will not pass unhecded.

Cashmere Goats. -- In chronicling
the commencement, on Thursday last,
of the Annual Fair at New York, the
Journal OF Commerce says:
. The most interesting animals on
the ground were three Cashmere goats,
entered by DR.. Davis, of South Caroli-
ma. 1t is the animal. Of which the
Cashmere shawls are made, the value
of which does not depend, as many
suppose, upon their rarity, but up
ON the fact that the material surpass>
es every other like article in its ca
pacity for wear. The Cashmere goat
was introduced into South Carolina
several years ago by DIR. Davis, who
caught them in Asia, forty.two days
ride, on the back Of camels, from Con.
stantinople. They have been intro
duced by him into North Carolina.
Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, and
Florida, and are mixed with the native
goat. The hair Of the animal, which
lis pure white, is most beautiful. II
somewhat resembles in appearance the
! finest portion of the fleece of the Chi.
nese sheep, few of which are on exhi,
i.bition. : 1t is curlyl soft in texture,
and brilliant in appearance. The ami
mal is extremely delicate ID shape

Tor many years past very successful in
keeping the sweet potato. lie express
es the opinion. in the Farmers COM
panion. that sweet potatoes may be
kept as well at the north as at the
south. lie does not usually lose a
a peck in 400 bushels.
Ills method is IN substance as fol-
lows: Provide good open she'd. ON
a dry, well-slrained piece Of ground.
around which guo,l trench is cut. As
soon as the autumnal irosts have killed
the leaves, carefully dig the potatoes,
handling them as ii eggs, and make
piles Of them under she'd, each pile
containing say 10 or 20 bushels. The
separate piles are for the sake of re.
moving portion as wanted, during
warm weather in winter, without dis
turbing the rest. Immediately cover
each pile thickly with good wheat
straw. (not hay,) as light Injuries them.
aud the straw with foot of earth.
The shed keeps the whole dry. This
is the whole process. Itis found much
better than packing in barrels with
sand, which retains the moisture and
rots them. The moisture is absorbed
BY the straw. They should never be
bruised.
/ The most successful keeper Of the
common potato whose practice we eyel
knew. always covered his large heaps
40 or 80 bushels) with straw packed /;
/ foot thick, which obsorbed the unneces
sary moisture, SO that he rarely Inst ,
peck in one OF these large heaps. Onl,
8 or 5 inches of earth was needed out
side the straw aud il he had covere,
the whole with a she'd, doubtless tn,
roots would have been still more Sc
cure from any danger.

golden rules to be observed during win.
ter, of which may be enumerated the
/ following:
Water all plants that require il
in the morning; leave no water in the
saucer Of any plant after the whole has
become saturated through; never water
by drips, but give the whole good
soaking, or the consequence often i
that the top Of the mold is wettcd
while the lower, containing the roots,
is dust; sponge over the foliage as Of
ten as it becomes dusty; take point.
ed strick and once in awhile stir the
surface Of the suil, but not deep enough
to disturb the roots; this acts the same
part as hoeing in summer, and tends
vastly to promote the growth OF the
plants. Give each plant space enough
for air TO circulate around it If posi-.
