How TO Make Coed Bread.

Prof. Iorsford recently gave public
lecture in New York upon ''Thc Philoso-
ply of the Oven" in which the whole his
toy of matchmaking was discussed. We
cxtrac. from the report Of the lecture the
following directions for making bread
''select good plump, fully riponed, hard
grained wheat Have it freshly ground
and not too finely holted. Prepare the
yeast as follows: Boil thoroughly with the
skins on. in one quart Of water, enough
potatoes to make . quart Of mashed pota-
toes Peel the boiled potatoes and mash
them to fineness; mix intimately with them
one pint OF -four and stir the whole to an
emulsion with the water in which the pota-
toes were boiled. Cool the product to
about 50 deg. Gnkewarmness.( and add
half a piut of the best fresh baker, yeast.

CULTIVATION OF CUICORY.

The frequent failure Of pastures On ac-
count of drought has directed the attention
of breeders of stock to the obtaining of
succulent forage plants, which will with
stand the effects of dry weather and be
available for feeding cattle and sheep when
ever the grass has become parched and
worthless.
Chicory, (CicjtoriWm Mty6us) also called
''succory,' is highly recommended as a
useful forage plant, by those who have cul-
tivated it. In France it is grown extern
sively for forage and enters into the regu-
lar rotation of crops in many places. 1t
withstands the most protracted drought,
its large leaves covering the ground and
its root sticking deep into the soil 1t
comes very early in the Spring and may be
cut for soiling several times in the year
II is 4 perennial with very ornamental
blue blossoms. Its root resembles that of
the parsnip or carrot, but is smaller; the
main root grows TO the depth of enc to ten
feet, but in loose soils the fibers sometimes
penetrate to four or five feet in depth.
Professor Morton says that the Chicory
plant was introduced into field culture in
England by Arthur Young in 1880, and
was grown principally for feeding sheep,
for which purpose it is very well adapted,
as it thrives upon nearly every kind of soil
and will probably feed more sheep to the
acres, than any other forage plant. 1t
readily adapts itself to the soil in which it
is grown, yielding fair crop on light,
sandy soil, while on the deep muck of re-
claimed swamps it is very productive. 1t
lasts for seven or eight years, yielding
several cuttings in tl!c year. It does not
yield u full crop until the second year from
the time of planting.
Throughout the south of France and the
north of Italy, Chicory is grown extern
sively for grazing purposes. The seed is
sown broadcast in Spring upon land which
has been deeply titled, at the rate Of about
twelve pounds per acre. Some of the most
productive Chicory meadows in France and
Italy have been obtained i'll this way, but
the broadcast plan Of sowing has latterly
given way 10 the drill system. For this
tie soil is prepared early in Spring by q
thorough cleansing from weeds and pull
vcrization Of humps. 4 compost of we'll
rotted manure. / af mold. etc. is then
spread on he surface, and the seed is
drilled in with machine, with about nine
i&thes interval between the rows.

raise potatocsis to pltnttham in last years
corn ground. with good coatof ioag sisary
manure either in the fufrow or spread

The fourth anniversary of its establish
ment and the annual examination &C.
CURED on Wednesday, the 9th inst.
The workshop was found under better
discipline and more efficient management,
under Mr.. Hobart, than ever before In
the Workshop there was the usual contest
for prizes for rapid work in seating a
chair with cane.
The prizes were won by Artemus Noble,
Samuel Richards, Joseph Bean, John
Shattuck, and in the ordor of their
names.
The school, under Miss Durham, was
conducted through its usual routine OF re-
citations and music, and appeared second
to none for diligence, order, and govern
ment. 1t WAS noticed that none OF the
classes were so well advanced as hereto
fore. This was explained by the fact OF
50 many Of the boys who had been long
in the school, having earned their dis
charge, or been sent to places outside the
institution, and the great majority were
comparatively new comtrs.
After the usual exercises of the school,
the prizes were presented to the boys In
brief addresses by Messrs Reed and Howe
Of the trustees, and by Messrs. Palmer
and Smile, and Rev. Mr.. Worthcn, OF
| Waterbury.
The whole was concluded with parade
drill, with fife and drum, in which tho
little fellows. took much pleasure and
showed considerable proficiency.
i Mr. Pease and wife are soon to leave,
and they present the institution to their
successors apparently in good condition
and in successful working. - NoHtpelier

this and the next legislature, all parties
concerned could be heard and all inter

result at any rate, manifest defects would
be remedied. They could be directed to
report the bill back to the Legislature on

The Railroad Consolidate

The scheme for uniting In one corpora
ton all the railroad companies of the Cen
trail line between Ogdensburgh and Bos-
ton has passed the first steps Of its pro-
gress in its passage through the Massa-
cLusetts Senate. The measure was sud
denly preached, but is pushed along with
an energy which shows that its friends
have been preparing for it for some time

managers of the Vt. Central is in reference
to the matter, whether they will favor Of
oppose the project is not clear They GER

as saying that he was willing to have the

But what would be right" has not been
/ clearly stated.
The plan il so extensive, touches SC
many interests and involves so many con.
siderations of Importance to the public as
well as to the roads, that careful meI
may well reserve their decision as to its
desirability; and wise men may disagree,
in the end as to its wisdom. 1t is only
plain at present that the measure will MOI

that, if such is the case, we owe our safety
to the disinterested character of this par.
