A Man ATTACKED BY A WOLF IN TIE
STREETS OF MADISON, WIs.--We learn
from the Madison State Journal, a
young man named p. Bowman was
attacked by a Wolf in Washington
avenue, in that city. 1t flew at his
throat, and but for his presence of
mind, in quickly drawing small knife
and stabbing it, he would doubtless
have been killed. 1t followed him,
however, and made subsequent at
tempts to get at him, till he arrived at
the American House, where he worked.
Even there it stood in the middle OF
the street, and did not leave till two
Germans sailed forth to attack it.

THE ART OF BREAD MAKING.-Chemi-
cal science has recently made great
progress in this direction, but few
know or practice upon, the truths it
has discovered. How rarely do pri-
vate families have, for days together,
bread of uniformly good quality. 1t
is often dry, or heavy, or sour, or bit
ter, and consequently, unpalatablc
and indigestiblc, and rarely light,
sweet, nutritious and wholesome.
The essential materials of good
bread are good -four, salt, water or
milk, and some kind of yeast. The
-four should be made from fair, full
grown and we'll ripcncd wheat or
other grain, not heated in the grind
ing or sourcd afterwards it is not
essential that it be very white or very
fine, unless handsome as well as good
bread is wanted a little salt is de-
manded by the palate. The various
kinds Of yeast from the distillcrs,
brewers and bakers are essentially
the same, being the glutinous portion
of some kind of grain in process of
fermentation or decay.
When good yeast is added to a
mixture of flour and water or milk,
and the fermcntcd gluten comes III
contact with the starch, which is a
large constituent of the flour, part
of the latter undcrgocs change,
first becoming mucilagc, or gum, then
sugar, and 10y further fermentation,
alcohol and carbonic acid are produced.
At this stage the mass of dough is
pulled up into minute air cells, and if
baked immediately in quick oven,
these are multiplied and enlarged and
the bread is light and palatabe. But
if the fermentation goes on, the sugar
is converted into Tactic or acctic acid,
the carbonic acid escape in form of
gas, and the "sponge falls, and when
baked the bread is solid, sour, and
often disagrcca5lc to taste and smell.
AS the length of time required for the
dough to rise is dependent on the
temperature, and perhaps the electri-
cal state of the atmosphere, it is evil
dent that the making of good bread
with yeast, demands a measure of III
telligcnt watchfulncss that but few
servants are willing or are capable of
bcstowing.
But even where intelligence and
watchfulncss are at command, success
still depends upon the state of the
yeast for if this has passed to second
or acetous fermentation, it will gener-
ally produce its like in the bread.

RESovATING OLD ORcHARDs.-If, as
we fear is the case, your orchard has not
been manured for many years, prepare
and give it q dressing of compost made
as follows.
Mix together. layer and layer about,
for each acre.
Six loads of woods mould, marsh or
river mud.
Two loads of rotten manure.
Two bushels of bone dust.
Five bushels of ashes.
One bushel Of plaster, and two bushels
Of salt.
The whole to be mixed we'll together,
thrown into bulk, and permitted to re-
main so for three weeks then shovel il
over and supply it broadcast over tho
land pillow it in about three inches deep,
so as not to injure the roots of the trees,
then harrow and roll. r
This done, dress the trunks of the trees,
and the limbs as far as you can reach
with a white-wash brush, made in the
proportion Of:
One gallon of soft soap.
Quarter pound of -four Of Sulphur.
One quart of salt.
Stir the mixture as applied.
IF the bark on your trees is rough,
messy or dead like. scrape it of before
you apply the mixture. The conse.
qrence Of this treatment to your orchard
viii be renewed vigor to your trees,
increased proliicaey, and fairer fruit.

PRovERBs FOR PLASTERs.-Never keen
animals on short allowance, if you starve
them they will surely starve you.
Although in draining land thoroughly
your purse may be drained, yet the full
crops that follow will soon Gil it again.
Trying to farm without capital is like
trying to run a locomotive without fuel.
Money and wood must both be consum-
ed, if they are to move the machine Of
the farm or the rail.
Always give the soil the first meal
If this is well fed with manure, it will
feed all else-plants, animals and man.
If you wish to give an energetic move.
ment to all your farm machinery, and
keep its hundred wheels in rotation, be
sure not to be without good rotation of
crops.
Hyou will allow your animals to shiv-
er, your fortune will be shiyered in con-
that is. the farmer who leaves
his cattle to the winds, will find his profits
also given to the winds.

His pstiense became exhausted, and he
threw the ''quads" out of the window,
without thinking to examine whether
they had nieka. He was never known
TO propose Jefing again.
