Lime Water in Bread Making.

In bread making, the vinous fermen.
tation sometimes passes into the acid
thus rendering the bread sour and
-disagresable. Liebig has lately per.
formed series of experiments to
improve the preparation Of bread
from which he comes to the conclu-
sion, that the only effective and in
nocuous means of improving the
qualities of wheat and rye bread, is
lime water. In making dough he
advises one pint Of clear lime water
to be used for every five pounds Of
-four. The lime water is first aided
to the flour, after which a sufficient
quantity Of common wafer is added
to work the whole in good common
dough = the leaven being mixed with
the water. The lime water prevents
the bread becoming sour, and is q
healthy ingredient. Lime water Car
be prepared by stirring some quick
lime in vessel containing pure cold
water, then allowing the sediment to
settle. The clear is then to be pour.
ed off and kept in bottles for use
No care is required respecting the
quantity Of lime to be stirred in the
water, as the water will only take up
a certain quantity of lime, and no
more. Those who use saleratus { BIZ
carbonate Of soda) in the raising Of
bread, are recommended to cease its
use, and employ pure bakers yeast
and little lime water. Our bones
are composed of the phosphate of
lime, and those who use fine -four re-
quire for their health little more
lime than is contained in their food
Cream Of tartar and carbonate ofsoda
are far inferior to common yeast TOR
making healthy bread.

Preservation Of Wheat in Tennessee

Preservation OF Wheat in tennessee
The following communication by a
correspondent, respecting wheat
threshing. will be found Of interest to
those whose barns are infested with
the grain weevil:
81 am aware that very many Of
my farming friends in Tennessee are
the readers of your valuable publica-
ton, and are heavy wheat growers;
and now that recent railroad convey
ance, with the foreign demand, has
permanently settled upon this valu-
able grain lair price here, it is not
at all unlikely that much more at
tention will be paid to the growing
of wheat in future. A few otherwise
systematic and economical farmers
in Tennessee raise pretty fair crop
ofwheat, and have no barns to house
it In. This is very great desider-
alum. to a wheat-grower, and the want
of gnnd barns, with soma other pyox-
imale causes Of Acknowledgement
sometimes results in material damage
to the wheat of the farmers before il
reaches the miller's hopper. There,
fore. through you, to my farming
friends in Tennessee, let me, without
pstenatioD, give my experience il
harvesting and saving wheat crop
referring at the same time to my
acquaintances for the character Of my
wheat crops.

Al Tirst Rate Hit.

A very old and, somewhat pettish
gentleman was coming up the river
a few weeks ago, and got particularly
out of humor with the captain Of the
stern wheel craft, and in his wrath
damned the captains of such boats
generally. The following conversa-
ton was heard between him and his
little boy, as they approached the
Gave in the Rock, about which the
lad had heard monstrous stories.
and is that the cave?' asked The
boy, as the boat got finally opposite
the hole.
Yes, my son, that is the cave
And, papa, did bad robbers use
to live there and kill people?'
Yes, my boy-they stole every.
thing and killed every body they
could. They were great scoundrels'
well. papa, what has become Of al
these bad men,
The old gentleman scratched biz
head and finally answered.
why You see they were nearly al
captured, and some were sent to jai
and some were hung, but some Of th'
greatest rascals got away
'And what become Of them, papa?
sWhy,' said the old man with
great scowl, they got away from tb
police officers, and became captain
