than they have been for years. The add
tional price of freightcomes from tne farmers.
for If freights were cheaper, the farmer could
get nearer what the Liverpool quotation
warrants. The wheat quotations in the
city papers are always below the actual

YEAST FROM GRAPE LEAvEs~-Wc do not
know the origin of the following. We find
it an exchange uneredited, but it may be OF
practical use to some:-Last summer | dis

some respects superior to hops, as the bread
rises sooner and has not the peculiar tas,e
which many object to in that made from
the hops. Use eight or ten leaves for a
quart of yeast; boil them about ten mlnu e+
asd pour the hot liquor on the flour, the
4uanlity Of the latter being determined by
whether you want the yeast thick or thin.
Use hop yeast for raising it to begin with,
and arerward that made of the grape leaves.
Dried leaves are equally as good as fresh.
