The new public school house, SO long talked

be built during the current year, the building
committee of the Board of Public Education
having already advertseds for proposals for its
erection.
II will be handsome and eommoiious build
ing, built of pressed brick three stories In height
and will be situated on the lot at the southwest
corner Of Eighth and Washington streets,
with front of so feet on the latter street and 100
shaped, the extension being along Eighth street
for forty feet, and forming part of the 100 feet
front on that street. This leaves the main build
ing 60 by so feet. The wing,si0 by % feet, will
be divided into two parts, one hall being used as
teachers rooms and for storing books and ap-
paratus, and the other half for the stairways aud
cloak rooms.
The main rooms in each Of the three will be
used as school rooms, and each of them will
have two class rooms ut each cuL, making three
large school rooms aud twelve class rooms in the
building, aside from the cloak rooms, teachers
rooms. &c, in the wings. The school Is intended
to accommodate COO pupils, and will be called
School No. l. The school which has hitherto
borne this number, Of sixth and French streets,
being in rented building will be abandoned.
Great attention has been paid in designing this
school house to securing ample light and ventila-

How 10 Make Good Rrend.

Prof. Horsferd recently gave public lee
ture in New York upon ''The Philosophy
of the Oven,' in which the whole history of
bread-making was discussed. We extract
from the report of the lecture the following
directions for making bread: "Select good
plump, fully ripened, hard grained wheat.
Have it freshly ground and not too finely
bolted. Prepare the yeast as follows: Boil
thoroughly with the skins on, in one quart
of water, enough potatoes to make u quart
of mashed potatoes. Peel the boiled pota-
toes and mash them TO tineness; mix init
mately with them one pint of flour, and stir
the whole to an emulsion with the water in
which the potatoes were boiled. Cool the
product to about 500 Qakewarmncss), and
add half a pint of the best fresh bakers yeast,
and tablespoonful of brown sugar. Sci
aside the mixture al an even temperature of
about 500, till Il works well, ur is in active
fermentation. Of this yeast take half n pint
to gallOn(7 lb. } of flour, mixed with three
pints of water, or two of water and one OF
milk, all at the temperature of about SOC I;
add little salt, knead thoroughly. and set
aside to rise at the temperature mentioned,
When it has risen to nearly the full volume
for the dough, divide it into loaves, knead
again, set ii aside at the temperature already
named until it attains the full size of the
loaf, and place it it in an oven heated to not
less than 450e. Let the loaves of dough be
smaller than the the tins. Keep them COW
cred with flat tin plates or stiff paper until
the dough is fully raised and the heat carried
up to, and sometimes maintained through
out the loaf at 2l2o, to convert all the starch
to the muclaginous or emulsion form and
destroy the ferment. Then remove the COW
er, and permit the browning to take place.

A PcnnsyIvania Farmer and what He
Hafd I'm q Half flour

Lee Garrigues owns, and himself cult
Yates, one of the best farms in Eastern Penn
sylvania. 1t is situated 10 miles north Of
Philadelphia, in Montgomery county. Lees
crops are counted sure thing-unfavora
seasons are not reckoned In his calendar.
His father before him was agood farmer and
| as he worked this farm for many years, he
left it in good and fat condition. Lee,
finding it rich, not only kept il so, but made
it richer. He is therefore, counted in his
neighborhood good farmer on good farm.
The writer was recently thrown in his
company for half hour and the converse,
tion naturally ran upon farming topics. A
successful farmer can't talk that length of
time without saying something worth print
ing SO propose to put in type the pith of
what this one said on this occasion.
His opinion of the Early Goodrich Pota-
to is not high but quite the contrary. He
raised some of them last season and considers
them so utterly worthless for the table or
market that he will feed them to his cows.
The flavor is bad and they area failure
The Jackson Whites are his faTorites and
are not excelled by the Mercer; but is in
clined strongly in favor of the Harrison and
intends to give II trial.
By the way, speaking of the Goodrich, he
says that his good lady can't cook them SO
that they are catable and any potato that
she cannot cook is too poor to plant. Per-
haps the superior quality of this good lady's
butter induces him to forego the larger
profits of the milk dairy, as he is the only
farmerin the neighborhood that has butter
dairy. Be that as it may, Lee still abides by
his butter, keeps 12 butter COWS and for the
last three months has not sold pound Of
butter for less than rs cents.
Speaking of manures and fertilizers, he
declares that it will not pay to haul horse
manures from Philadelphia at present prices
$40 load at the stable. So he buys fer
tilizers. He prefers bone-dust to Phosphates
Tor wheat; for top-dressing grass, he thinks
Phuine is excellent. lie does not think
Guano, constantly applied, will wear out
land; but that the belief that such is the
case originated with dealers in other fertil-
izers. But the best manure obtainablc is
called "Sugar Waste being the refuse
blood, bones, ctc., of sugar retincrcs. 1t is
sold by the hogshead, hogshead costing
$l.Oo. OF late it is hard to get, d. Lam
dreth Il Son having.a contract with the lar
gest refinery for all of the article made, which
they ship to their seed farm at Bristol. Lee
says this "waste" is the strongest manure
and the most lasting by far, of any he ever
used. Wherever applied it shows itself for
years; twice or three times as long as the
best horse manure.
Other things were lightly touched upon
but this will suffice for the present. If Lee
should see this in print and finds this report
not as full as he would have wished, doubt
not the columns of the TRIBUNE will be at
his service to make any addition to the sug-
gestions recorded here or to make any new
ones for the edificaton of the public.

THINGS WE'LL SAID


CHEESE Us. BuTTER-In cheese making,
all the milk and all the cream may be used ;
or most of the cream may be removed, and
the skinned milk made into cheese, or only
half the milk may be skinned, and the rest
made cheese of. In making butter, the
greater part of the cream rises in two or
three hours, and 1t is a common custom to
skim this off and send the skinned milk to
the city, where it will always bring good
price. Much of this half skinned milk is
condensed in some parts of the State of New
York, and thus home market made for
sweet skinned milk at the factory, and
probably two thirds as much butter made as
ifall the milk were set as usual. Where
there is an extra good market for butter,
and the herds ofcows have long been bred as
butter makers, we doubt ifi will pay to
make cheese. Skimmed-milked cheese
(madc from sweet milk, of course) is said to
pay well. The condensed milk alluded to is
sold in the cities at little less price than
the condensed whole milk. Cheese making
on the large scale, and where the aim is to
produce the best possible article from the
whole milk, will not pay usually within the
range of the milk trains running into our
large cities.
A MILK RAoK.-Place pine post
upright, having Stats of half-inch material
nailed up on each side. Two pans Of milk
are supported by two such Stats on opposite
sides. The post may be hung on pivot. II
arranged in this way, the cream pot need
not be moved in skimming whole rack full
Of pans. One advantage of such a rack ever
shelves is, that the air has free play under
as well as over and around the milk.
EVEN So.-No life is more noble than that
of an intelligent farmer who commences as
a young man with straitened means and a
poor farm with a mortgage on it, and who,
by activity of mind and body, makes every
year marked improvement in the produc-
tiveness of his land, in the character and
thrift of his stock, and in his knowledge oI
his business who sees where he can make
an improvement, and is judicious in procur.
ing the means for making 1t.
Such man as this will get more satisfac.
tion and happiness out of his life as farmer
than he could get in any other avocation,
| and he will count far more in the general adj
vance of civilization.

HOW ALL LADIES HAVE BLONDE HAIR.
Harper's Basar tells an "anxlous in
Quirer," that the most reliable hair-dressers
in New York refuse to dye dark hair blonde
as it Injuries the hair, and is a tedious, disa-
greeable process A harmless powder is
used that will produce the blonde appearance
for an evening. A box containing sufficient
powder for two applications costs about
seventy-five cents. The hair is oiled, and
sometimes a preparation of perfumed gum
arabic is used, before applying the powder.
