Fresh Bread-ccarse and Fine for the Army

Fresh Bread-Ccarse and Fine for the Army
very large bakery, we have been in.
formed, has been put mp at Fortress Monroe,
and it is stated to have facilities for baking so,
900 loaves daily. 1t has been erected for the
purpose of supplying daily rations of fresh
fermented bread to the army of the Potomac,
and the loaves are to be sent ND the river
every morning to be distributed among the
soldiers. This is good news. For months
past this army has been chiefly supplied with
hard crackers for bread, and the wounded had
no better fare. Much of the sickness of the
soldiers in Virginia, when on active service in
the field, and thus prevented from obtaining
fresh bread, can be traced to the constant use
of dry hard crackers, not that this was not
good food OF its kind, but because men REQUIRE
frequent changes of food, aud because unfer-
mented bread is not so easily digisted as fer
mented bread. In the early part of Ihe Cri-
mean war the British soldiers were supplied
with hard biscuit exclusively, and the result
was dyseDtry, scurvy and general disability.
A remedy was provided in the form of fresh
baked, fermented bread, supplied by DR.. Ham
lin, the enlghtend American missionary at
Constantinople. He first contrasted to sup
ply 10000 loaves daily; then increased the
number to 10000, and the result was most
marked in the improved health of the soldiers.
The mortality by sickness during the last year
of the war, was less in the Crime than in the
barracks in England. OF course we do not
attribute this favorable state of fresh bread.
but it was certainly one of the grand agencies
hichf AL
suits may be expected from its use in the army
OF the Potomac. We trust that wisdom will
characterize those who have the selection of
the materials for making the army bread. It
should not be made of fine wheaton -four excIu-
sivly, but mixture of fine -four with mid
dlings, of unbolted ground wheat. From a
great number of experiments made with bread
formed of fine wheat -four, rye -four, mix
lures OF fine -four, with middlings (some of the
hnllings) and bread made of cnbolted ground
wheat, it has been found that the latter is
the most healthy especially for soldiers. This
is the reason why coarse bread, made of nm
bolted rye meal, and unbolted ground wheat.
is chiefly used iu all the European armies. A
reason for this is found in the composition of
the grain, and the arrangement of the SUBJ
stance of which it is composed. The morgan
lc sales-such as the phosphates, mon
salt, &c,-in wheat, reside chiefly in the husk.
and supply of these to the human body is as
necessary to health as the starch and gluten
which are chiefly contained in the interior of
the grain. Bread made OF fine -four devoid of
several inorganic salts necessary to the health
OF man cannot be so.sutable for the food of sol,
diers as the coarse bread made from unbolted
wheaton -four, which contains such salts.

Co-oPERATIoN OF THE WIFE.-No man ever
prospered in the world without the co-opera-
tion of his wife. If she unites in mutual en-
deayors or rewards his labors with an endear-
ing smile, with what confidence will he resort
to his merchandise or his farm, fly over the
land, sail upon seas, meet difficulty, and en-
counter danger, if he knows that he is not
spending his strength in vain, but that his Ia
bor will be rewarded by the sweets OF home |!
Solicitude and disappointment enter the his
tory of every mans life, and he is but half pro-
vided for his voyage, who finds but an associ-
ate for happy hours, while for his months of
darkness and distress no sympathizing partner
is prepared. na

The Key West Nev Era, of Nov 15
contains long and highly interesting
account of seven months experience in
rebeldom by two Ohio soldiers, who
formed part of an expedition sent out
by the lamented Gen. Mitchell. in April
last, on a hazardous mission, which un-
fortunately failed The men arrived at
Key West from Apalachicola Bay in the
steamer Stars and Stripes, and gave their
names as Mark Wood and Alfred VIII
son, of Company c., 2lst Ohio regi-
ment, commanded by Col Norton. They
state that in April last their regiment
formed a part of Maj. Gen. O. NJ. Mitch
ellis division, Gen. Gill's brigade, then
stationed at Shelbyville, Tennessee. -
While there a secret expedition for dan
gerous service was organized and placed
under the orders Of man supposed 10

whole party was disguised in citizens

April, They proceeded to Manchester,
Tennessee, where they represented them
selves as Kentuckians, on their way tc
Chattanooga, to join tho rebel army. IL
this manner they made their way across
tho Cumberland Mountains to Chatta
nooga, obtaining subsistence from seces'
sienists. From that point they went tC
Marietta, Georgia. The next morning
they returned on the same road TO {
place called Big Shauty, where were en-
oamped 10000 rebels. At this poir
the real service began. aud we quote

20 Ague Shaking" !"
He took the ague badly,
And it shook him. shook him sorely;
Shook his boots off and his toe nails,
Shook his teeth out and his hair off:
Shook his coat all into tatters,
And his shirt all into ribbons
Shirtless, coatless, hairless, toothless,
Minus boots and minus toe-nails
Still it shook him. shook him till it
Made him yellow, gaunt and bony;
Shook him till he reached his death bed
Shook him till it shufiled for him
Off this mortal coil, and then it
Having made him cold as could be,
Shook the earth still down upon him
And he lies beneath his grave stone,
Ever shaking, shaking, shaking!
