Recipe for Making Natural Bread.

Bread, light, sweet, delicious and
wholesome, may he made by mixing
good, unbolted wheat meal with cold
water, making paste of proper con-
sistency, which can only be determin-
ed by experiments, pouring or drop
ping it quickly into a heated pen,
THAT with concave departments is
best, and placing it quickly in hot
oven, and bake it as quicklyas possi-
BILE without burning. The heat of the
oven and pan suddenly coagulates
the gluten Of the outside, which re-
tsins the steam formed within, and
each particle of water being inter-
spersed with particle of -four, and
expanding into stesm, separates the
particles into cells, and being retain
ed by the gluten, which is abundant
in this natural flour, till it is cooked,
the mass remains porous and digest
llbie, and containing no carbonie acid
gas is wholesome when eaten imme-
dialely, and of course equally so on
becoming cold.
But for family bread, if not eaten
till 1t has stood in pure air till the
carbonic acid gas IN the cells is ex-
changed for the oxygen of the air,
there is no important objection to
bread made from good unbolted
wheat meal with fresh yeast. 1t con-
tains all the elements necessary for
feeding the muscles and brains,- and
for producing all the fat and animal
heat required, and contains no mate
rials essentially deleterious and
bread thus made from good superfine
flour is only negatively deleterious,
having lost its food for muscles and
brains and it need not, therefore,
he discarded if at the same meal
these clements are supplied in lean
meat, fish, cheese or other food con-
tanning similar elements butif eaten
with butter or sugar only, and moth
ing else, would soon make OF US

A Sea Monster.

The strange animal killed near
Eastport, Maine, has been on exhibit
ton in that city during the past two
weeks.
This animal, part fish and part
beast, is over thirty feet in length,
and girts twenty one feet. 1t has
one enormous dOrssl fin, two side
belly fins, and broad, shark-like
tail. About one-third of its length
forms its tail Ill connection with
small fins, it has two huge legs, ter
minating in web feet. Its mouth
makes a line of five or six feet in
length, the whole extent of which is
set with innumerable small teeth,
very much resembling in size and
shape the kernel of species of short
pointed popcorn. 1t has a series of
gills which overlap each other like
the flounces once the style of ladies'
dresses. His immense body, which
was estimated to have weighed when
captured about eleven tons, has no
framework of bones, its most solid
portion being cartilage incapable of
preservation. It's skin is dark and
tough, like that of the elephant aud
rhinoceros. There is no record Of
his species, and to none is it great
er wonder than to naturalists, whose
attention Is being drawn toit. Among
others who have had an opportunity
of seeing it, is Professor Baird, of
the Smithsonian Institute of Wash
ING ton, who is vet unable to place il
in the known list OF the animal king
dom. When first discovered, it was
swimming along leisurely, and when
pursued took To the land, and when
captured was hundred and twenty
feet above high water mark Numer-
Gus shots were fired at it, but none
took effect until the gun was loaded
with small spikes, which took effect,
striking just above the main fin. On
analyZing the stomach, it contained
nothing but vegetable matter, which
leads 10 the conclusion that it sub
sisted upon vegetables on the bottom
of the ocean and on shore.

What Sheen Shan we Raise ?

There is one important eonsidera-
ton in favor of every farmer breed
ing mutton sheep, especially South
downs, OF their crOsses-that is, the
well known fact, that in no other way
can he produce meat so eheaply, or
of so good and healthy quality.
Ii was strange and most unac-
countable thing to see most OF onr
farmers last autumn eating pork
worth eighteen to twenty cents per
pound and selling sheep rs low as a
dollar head They had not been
educated to eating mut.on-if they
once bad "a taste OF good SOuthdown
it would require very little education
to make them mutton eaters. For
fresh meat in summer there is moth
ing that farmer can so conV eniently
manage as mutton.
For these reasons it would seem
obvious that upon farms adapted to
mixed husbandry, the best and most
convenient practice, as we'll as the
most profitable, would be to breed
few mutton ewes. Whether the times
be good or bad, we can never afford
to breed from poor Orinferior blood,

AGRiCULTUEE IN GERMANY.-From
the special German correspondent of
the Iowa Homestead, we clip the fol-
lowing picture of farming in some
parts of Germany
"Fhe fields of grain will compare
well, rs regards size, with an Ordi-
nary city lot. Indeed, many of them
are much smaller. Perhaps two by
eight rods would be their average
size. This of course, refers to the
fertile plains, where the entire sur
face is under cultivation, and not to
the highlands, that are appropriated
to raising timber, or to pasturage.
Little corner stones mark the boun-
daries Of these small farms and lots.
| think that the object of thus divid-
opportunity Ior II TegUTar and
tematic rotation Of crops. Side by
side, with only deep furrow be-
tween, one sees there little patches
of wheat, oats, barley, peas. potatoes,
etc. When one can look over large
tract OF country, the different tints
given by the various little fields give
the landscape the appearance of a
huge chessbOard.
